Err, yes. pgAdmin? It's somewhat more than a simple text editor.

pgAdmin has a mechanism to suggest values (currently for autovacuum and

Hi,
As you know, many databases that run on Linux / Unix systems have a GUI
installer which make installation easier and more attractive for some
people.
Our Windows Installer is very attractive, for example.
Now, I and Burcu Guzel, who is a Senior Programmer, decided to launch a
new project:

So why don't you just do that with Postgres? You could call it
