Connecting:
When connecting to a database as non-superuser, it shows the message: An error has occured:
ERROR: pg_shadow: permissin denied
I don't think this is really an error. It is expected behaviour, but the current message might confude people. Maybe it should say something like "Insufficient permissions to enumerate users.", but it would be really neat if the users entry in the left pane just greyed out and the message only appeared when somebody clicks on it.



I quite agree with this one, however it's a bit tricky (to do properly) with PostgreSQL 7.3 as the message will change for localised versions, so it's difficult to reliably detect what went wrong.

When 7.4 is at a usable state we will have a better way of doing this as
it will include error codes, alternatively we could hack it by only
enumerating users for superusers, or those with select permissions on
pg_shadow.

I changed the schema code to use pg_user wherever possible, and checking for access privilege to pg_shadow to try to resolve the encrypted password.

Vacuum:
It would be nice if vacuum had the option to do a verbose vacuum and the result was displayed in screen. Also, a separate button for analyze would be nice.



Agreed (and added to todo).




View data:
I really like the inline editing of data in tables. Much better then what it was. However, horizontal and vertical scrollbars only appear when I maximize the window.



Yes, we've seen this error before. A simple resize normally makes the scrollbars appear. Andreas: did you get a chance to look at this at all? Can we just switch the scrollbars on permanently? 99% of the time they would probably be there anyway...

Nasty wx... There already was some code for non-win32, and I activated it for win32 now. wxWindows will optimize away the scrollbars if not initially necessary, and they will never come back... Now the window is forced extra-small so that scrollbars are necessary right from the start.

When are you going to release an official alfa/beta version?



I was hoping we could aim to coincide with the release/beta for PostgreSQL 7.4, but that might be a bit ambitious.

This pessimism is illegal ;-), we should go ahead to match that goal.

Andreas
