-PGACCESS 0.3 , 29 September 1997
-================================
-
-
-
-1.Why PGACCESS ?
-
-First of all because PostgreSQL lacks a graphical interface from within
-you could manage your tables, edit them, define queries, sequences and
-functiones more simple than in psql.
-In Tcl/Tk because it's a powerfull language, and it tooks me only 3 days
-of hard work to get it like you see it.
-It's for free! Probably I should enter here that kind of text that says
-that is GNU-like license or whatsoever.
-Let's say :
-If PostgreSQL and Linux are for free, so PGACCESS should be.
-
-
-
-2.How to INSTALL ?
-
-You will need Tcl/Tk package, I am using now Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2. There
-are some problems running under Tcl/Tk 8.0 but I will soon fix them.
-Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library. It is
-called libpgtcl.so and because most of the people asked for it, I
-will supply a version compiled for 6.2 along with theese files.
-It is compiled and it's working on my system, a RedHat 4.2 Linux on
-Pentium machine.
-Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system library director (/usr/lib) and
-go for it.
-
-
-3.How to run it?
-
-You run it with the command :
-wish -f pgaccess.tcl
-Another way of loading the PostgreSQL library is running it with pgwish.
-It's a wish compiled with libpgtcl library so it could understand the
-commands for working with PostgreSQL.
-For this, remove the line "load libpgtcl.so" from the source
-
-
-
-4.What does it now ?
-
-Opens any database on a specified host at the specified port.
-
-Tables
-- opening tables for vieweing, max 200 records
-- column resizing by dragging the vertical grid lines
-- table layout saved for every table
-- import/export to external files (SDF,CSV)
-- filter capabilities ,enter filter like price>3.14
-- sort order capabilities ,enter manually the sort field(s)
-- editing in place
-- table generator assistant lizzard :-) (not wizzard)
-- table renaming and deleting (dropping)
-Queries
-- define, edit and store "user defined queries"
-- can store queries as views
-- execution of queries
-- vieweing of select type queries result
-- running action queries (insert, update, delete)
-
-
-
-5.What it should do in the future ?
-
-- table design (add new fields, renaming, etc)
-- script execution (simple SQL commands)
-- function manipulation (defining, vieweing)
-- a simple report generator and viewer
-- help on line
-
-
-
-6. How you should report the errors?
-First of all : operating system, PostgreSQL version,Tcl/Tk version.
-A more detailed story of what have you done when error had occured.
-Tcl/Tk stops usually with a error message and there is a button there
-"Stack Trace" and if you press it, you will see a detailed information
-about the place where it stucks. Please send it to me.
-Some information about table structure, no. of fields, records would
-be also good.
