I prefer OpenJump as well. Through plugins I wrote myself, I can view or edit data directly in PostGIS pulled either from a single table or any SQL query that returns a single geometry column. Since the database I often work with is ~150GB I need to be able to load data into Jump dynamically, that is, only load data whose bounding box intersects the current viewport. (Though the plugin can also ignore the bounding box filter and statically load the entire content of any SQL query or table entirely in memory).

I don't know the state of any publicly available plugins that permit dynamic data editing, but OpenJump does come with a limited dynamic viewer plugin that permits the viewing of a single table (optionally with filters applied).

Cheers,
Kevin

I use OpenJump the most because of the dbquery plugin.  Immediate viewing of 
any query that returns a geometry, derived or otherwise, is the most important 
feature for me.  I use it as sort of a tester/designer for automating recurring 
tasks that have a spatial analytical component.  All editing is done in other 
software, outside of postgres/postgis, and reloaded monthly.

Subject: [postgis-users] Best graphical viewer for PostGIS data


Hi,

I would like to hear from you guys about the viewer you use to "see"
PostGIS geometries. Which one is the best and why? How do they support
views, editing, creation, etc...

I can list a couple of them:

QGIS
uDIG
GRASS
MapServer
Any others?

Pierre
