Andreas or Dave may be interested in changing some English messages


IMHO the terms describe exactly what's meant. We'll try to explain if this isn't clearly understood.

like "Execute arbitrary queries"

Execute free-form queries

or "Try switching it to..."

Try changing it to

or even "explain analyse query" which are difficult to translated.



In doubt, don't translate. This is PostgreSQL slang.

(binary compatible)


Sorry, I understand the meaning but do not know where it comes from.


Used for casts, e.g. the cast varchar->text doesn't need a cast function because the types are binary compatible (i.e. just different names for the same data representation)



Commutator


This is part of CREATE OEPRATOR syntax. You may keep it in English.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createoperator.html


Yeah



Cast (Casts)


= "conversion" from one type to another. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createcast.html


Keep



Do instead


This is part of the create rule dialog.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/sql-createrule.html

Rules can "rewrite" SQL queries on the fly before they are executed. For example, you can transform a "drop" query and run another query "instead". I would propose to keep this in English as it is very close to the SQL.



Execute arbitrary SQL queries.


In the menu. I would translate by "Execute custom queries"



Explain analyse query
Explain verbose query



PostgreSQL allows you to analyse your queries in order to optimise them. This analyse corresponds to the "EXPLAIN ANALYSE" and "EXPLAIN VERBOSE" SQL queries. This text is displayed in the menu and means "Run EXPLAIN ANAYLYSE on query" and "Run EXPLAIN VERBOSE on query".




For each


Part of CREATE TRIGGER ... for each. Keep in English.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createtrigger.html



For type


Don't know where it comes from.


operatorclass "This is the opclass for type ..."



Handler


PostgreSQL has several server-side languages (plpgSQL, plPerl, plPHP, etc...). Each language is managed by a handler. Keep 'handler" in English as it is also part of the SQL syntax: CREATE LANGUAGE.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createlanguage.html




Has OIDs


A table in PostgreSQL can have OIDs ("internal" identifiers) or not. Keep OIDs in English.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createtable.html




Kind


Don't know yet.



Used as synonym for "type", since type is a PostgreSQL object term.

Left / Right type / table


This is a query builder message. The query builder is buggy and cannot be run. So I do not know exactly what this message stands for. Maybe you can draw joins between two tables.



Options modifying Explain output


These options can print more or less information in EXPLAIN query.



Out of Memory for cacheLinePool


Internal message. Copy the source in target.



Supports hash?


Hash is kind of index.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-createindex.html



Try switching it to the lefthand side in one\n
or more relationships.



This is a query builder thing. "Try moving one or more relationships to the left side (RTL!!!)". Don't know what it means.
