Hi,

The functionality is in the development branch, but only execute to
file. pgAdmin III has no knowledge of COM so cannot export directly to
Excel (would be kinda tricky on Linux/FreeBSD anyway!).

But simple HTML would do the trick for Excel and even OpenOffice
can read this:




column1column2


...
and so on.

Or maybe native OpenOffice, which is XML (in a Zip archive)
Schould not be so hard. (This would help maintaining type

pgAdmin III doesn't have plugin modules, and even if it did (or we used
a #define) would still have a very tough job talking to Excel through
COM. The easiest way would be to export to a text file, and load that
into Excel.

I don't like it to have this missing feature passing from pgAdminII to
pgAdminIII, one reason for us to not use it.
I really don't have time to do it but define a general mechanism for
load external libraries and have plug-in could be really great.
For example on Linux could be possible export a result set to Gnumeric.

I just ran into this on my system with the £ symbol (UK Pound symbol, not #), however 
the fix doesn't seem to work in CVS tip - Any column that contains a £ value anywhere 
in it shows up as having a null value. At very least I would expect to see an 'unknown 
char' symbol in place of the pound sign, and the rest of the string intact.

I have been wanting to look at this sort of thing for a while, just
never got around to it. I will investigate further when I get more time
(big software rollout on Monday).

[pgadmin-support] Very slow viewing of large table.

2003-10-22 Thread Constantin Stefanov
Hello.

When in PgAdmin3 I click on a large table, it waits before opening it. 
As far as I could understand, it issues a row count on a table. Is there 
way to stop this behaviour?
I found a letter about the same problem of February 2002, and Dave Page 
wrote he was intending to do something about.
Am I searching in the wrong place or there is no capability for 
cancelling count queries?

Under File -> Options -> Query there is an option to control this
behaviour, though unless you have a slow server, it should have a
sensible value following install. From the helpfile:

"Count rows if estimated less than" - In the object browser, if the
estimated number of rows in a table (as read from the table statistics)
is below this limit, a SELECT count(*) will be performed to find the
exact value.

Yeah, I just fixed that in CVS 'cos I caught me out. It'll be in the
next snapshot.

Basically it's not recognising a blank filter string as valid or
invalid. The quick and dirty fix is to enter a filter string of

1=1

To fool it. Sorry 'bout that.

[pgadmin-support] pgAdmin III error when connecting to server

2003-10-22 Thread Robert John Shepherd
I have users on database that have spaces in them, pgAdmin 2 worked fine
with these but pgAdmin 3 (even with latest snapshot) errors on connect with
"missing "=" after "" in connection info string, where the username is
"  ".

Is this a known issue?

Hi,

It is now :-)

I've fixed this in CVS, along with similar possible problems that might
have been caused by spaces in usernames & passwords etc.

The change will be in the next snapshots.

"Count rows if estimated less than" - In the object browser, if the
estimated number of rows in a table (as read from the table statistics)

Thanks, I set that value to 0, and now I have the desired behaviour.
But, for that table the values are:
Rows(estimated) - 7
Rows(counted) - 77204608
I think the difference is too large. From the debug output I could not 
understand the query which pg_admin issues to have the value for 
estimated number of rows. Could you show me that query so I could give 
it directly from psql to see whether there is an error in my database 
stats or there is a bug in pg_admin when interpreting query result?
