[pgadmin-hackers] ICQ Message from pgAdmin translator Devrim in Istambul

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear Friends,

Devrim contacted me several minutes ago on ICQ.
Here is a copy of the chat message:

*
10:58
(10:41:06) Devrim Gündüz: Five Explosions Rock Downtown Istanbul 
1 minute ago. A new September 11...  
 
(10:59:51) Devrim Gündüz: It's impossible to tell what's going on here... 
Many dead bodies, 'body parts' around here  
*

Devrim is OK. He was not hit.

[pgadmin-hackers] Problems compiling from CVS

[John McCawley]

Hello all,

First of all, great work on the wx/C++ port!  I had contributed a little 
bit to the VB pgAdmin2 a little over a year ago when C++ discussions 
first started.  I was amazed to see this wx port completed so quickly!

At the time I was (and still am) working on a datamodeler for postgres 
(http://www.hardgeus.com/projects/pgdesigner/).  At the time it was in 
FLTK but I became frustrated with the library, so I switched to wx.  I 
have had quite a bit of interest in the project, but I have never really 
gotten enough inertia to overcome a couple of the GUI humps I've hit.  I 
thought I'd try to give a go at merging my codebase into pgAdmin3 so 
here I am.

I compiled the wxGTK snapshot located at the mirrors and was able to 
also compile the version of pgAdmin3 in pgadmin3-1.0.1.tar.gz.  However, 
when I pulled pgAdmin3 from CVS I got the following errors:

/usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h: In member function `bool
  wxCalendarBox::Create(wxWindow*, int, const wxDateTime&, const wxPoint&,
  const wxSize&, long int, const wxString&)':
/usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h:247: `wxControl*
  wxCalendarCtrl::GetYearControl() const' is private
ui/calbox.cpp:105: within this context
/usr/local/include/wx/generic/calctrl.h:246: `wxControl*
  wxCalendarCtrl::GetMonthControl() const' is private
ui/calbox.cpp:139: within this context
ui/calbox.cpp: In member function `void
  wxCalendarBox::OnText(wxCommandEvent&)':
ui/calbox.cpp:436: no matching function for call to 
`wxCalendarEvent::SetDate(
  wxDateTime&)'

I tried using the wxGTK snapshots in both 
wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20030831.tar.gz and 
wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-2.tar.bz2 but both gave me the same error.

Is there a newer wxGTK snapshot I should be using with the CVS version 
of pgAdmin3?

John

I didn't have the time to look at your code or binary so far, just some 
thoughts:
A data model designer is a very important tool, we really should have 
this as open source! I've been working with SyBase AppModeler a long 
time, and I like the multi-database target abilities. While my heart 
belongs to PostgreSQL, I feel that a modeling tool should support all 
database systems.
We're a quite careful about what to integrate into pgAdmin3 itself; the 
tool is dedicated to database administrative tasks, and we feel it's not 
too helpful to have a menu item that starts an independent window for a 
new set of features. Still, there's the need for a whole suite of tools 
(the "pgAdmin suite" we might call it), one of them being pgAdmin3, one 
data centric manipulation and import tool (planning/brain storming 
stage), a scheduling tool (pgAgent, embryonic in cvs), and (in the 
dreams) a data model designer. The latter might well be pgdesigner.
Please feel free to use the pgAdmin3 code base to learn how to use wx 
libraries. IMHO, we're doing quite a good job supporting multiple 
platforms, and the build system may well be reusable for pgdesigner 
purposes. A DM designer is _the_ app I'd like to contribute next. 
Realistically, I might not have the time to do so intensively, but I'd 
like to add my knowledge.
There are some other guys who had built a MySQL centric tool in Delphi, 
planing to rewrite it with wxWindows, targeted to more database systems. 
Maybe forces could be joined.

Is there a newer wxGTK snapshot I should be using with the CVS version 
of pgAdmin3?
Yes, there is; please use wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-6.tar.bz2. The 
compiler error shows that there's at least one required patch missing 
that makes the two methods mentioned public.

Regards,
Andreas
