PGACCESS 0.96 9 March 1999
26+
================================
27+
I dedicate this program to my little daughters Ana-Maria and Emilia and to my
28+
wife for their understanding. I hope they will forgive me for spending so many
29+
time far from them.
30+
31+
32+
33+
1.Why PgAccess ?
34+
35+
First of all because PostgreSQL lacks a graphical interface where you
36+
can manage your tables, edit them, define queries, sequences and
37+
functions.
38+
39+
40+
41+
2.How to INSTALL ?
42+
43+
You will need Tcl/Tk package, I am using now Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2.
44+
PgAccess is running fine also on Tcl/Tk 8.0
45+
46+
Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library, lined as a
47+
Tcl/Tk 'load'-able module. It is called libpgtcl and the source is
48+
located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl.
49+
Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from
50+
Tcl/Tk. This is technically different from an ordinary PostgreSQL
51+
loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection of object files.
52+
53+
Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. You will find a pre-compiled
54+
copy of it for Linux i386 systems at : http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess.
55+
Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system library directory /usr/lib or
56+
/lib and go for it.
57+
58+
Under Windows, copy libpgtcl.dll and libpq.dll into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
59+
Make sure you have Tcl/Tk at least version 8.0.0 for Microsoft Windows 95 & NT.
60+
PgAccess has been checked with Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 version on Windows95 and Windows98
61+
platforms.
62+
63+
Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 for Windows95 & NT can be downloaded from
64+
ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_0/tcl804.exe
65+
It is 1833712 bytes long.
66+
67+
68+
3.How to run it?
69+
70+
You run it with the command:
71+
72+
wish -f pgaccess.tcl [database]
73+
74+
[database] is optional.
75+
76+
Another way of loading the PostgreSQL library is running it with pgwish.
77+
It's a wish compiled with libpgtcl library so it could understand the
78+
commands for working with PostgreSQL. For this, remove the line "load
79+
libpgtcl.so" from the source. If your operating system has a different
80+
library name or location, change the 'load libpgtcl.so' line in the
81+
pgaccess.tcl file.
82+
83+
84+
4.What does it now ?
85+
86+
- Opens any database on a specified host at the specified port, username and password
87+
- Perform vacuum command.
88+
- Saves preferences in ~/.pgaccessrc file
89+
90+
Tables
91+
- opening multiple tables for viewing, max n records (configurable)
92+
- column resizing by dragging the vertical grid lines
93+
- text will wrap in cells now
94+
- dynamic row height when editing
95+
- table layout saved for every table
96+
- import/export to external files (SDF,CSV)
97+
- filter capabilities ,enter filter like price>3.14
98+
- sort order capabilities ,enter manually the sort field(s)
99+
- editing in place, double click the text you want to change
100+
- record deleting , point the record, press Del key
101+
- adding new records ,save new row with right-button-click on table for the moment
102+
- table generator assistant
103+
- table renaming and deleting (dropping)
104+
- table information retrieving : owner, field information, indexes
105+
106+
Queries
107+
- define, edit and store "user defined queries"
108+
- save view layout
109+
- can store queries as views
110+
- execution of queries with optional user input parameters ( select * from invoices where year=[parameter "Year of selection"] )
111+
- viewing of select type queries result
112+
- running action queries (insert, update, delete)
113+
- visual query builder with drag & drop support, table aliasing
114+
115+
Sequences
116+
- define
117+
- inspect
118+
- delete
119+
120+
Views
121+
- defining them saving queries as views
122+
- view them , with filtering and sorting capabilities
123+
- design views
124+
- delete them
125+
126+
Functions
127+
- define , inspect , delete
128+
129+
Reports
130+
- simple reports from a table (beta stage)
131+
- change font,size and style of fields and labels
132+
- load and save reports from the database
133+
- table previews, sample postscript print
134+
135+
Forms
136+
- open user defined forms
137+
- form design module available
138+
- query widget allowing access to a record set
139+
140+
Scripts
141+
- define, modify and call user defined scripts
142+
143+
5.What it should do in the future ?
144+
145+
- sequence and function renaming
146+
- more powerful report generator and viewer
147+
- help on line
148+
149+
150+
151+
6. How you should report the errors?
152+
First of all : operating system, PostgreSQL version,Tcl/Tk version.
153+
A more detailed story of what have you done when error had occurred.
154+
Tcl/Tk stops usually with a error message and there is a button there
155+
"Stack Trace" and if you press it, you will see a detailed information
156+
about the place where it stuck. Please send it to me.
157+
Some information about table structure, no. of fields, records would
158+
be also good.
159+
160+

161+
You would find always the latest version at http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess
162+
163+
Please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestion or bug description
164+
that will help to improve it.

and then make clean and make again. The new libpgtcl.so library is properly
