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. - -=========================================================================== -You would find always the last version at http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess - -Please feel free to e-mail me any suggestion , bug description that would -help me improving this - |
