The Function, Trigger and View dialogues (and the Package dialogue for Postgres Plus Advanced Server users) are the only properties dialogues in pgAdmin which have Apply buttons.
They have these because those dialogues can be used to write code of some description (though, for triggers that is again only on PPAS, which supports triggers with in-line SPL code). The Function and View dialogues also have Guru Hints that are shown when you use them to actively discourage users from editing code in that way, and to use the Query Tool instead. We've recently discovered some bugs related to use of the Apply buttons, one of which has already been fixed with a complex patch, and one of which is still being worked on, but is already a non-trivial amount of code change. As we have so few of these buttons and they're there primarily to support a working practice that we discourage anyway, I'd like to simply remove them so we can avoid the fragile and messy code changes needed to make them work reliably. I propose to do this both for 1.18.x *and* 1.16.2+ Comments/objections please? -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
