Yes, thats fine.

Thanks!

Tell you what, what about making this a stylistic issue a property setting 
of some kind. We can then build in (in future if not at start) an option in 
the setting of options to diagram-pane ocx the way to represent these 
settings and make it a pgAdmin View Designer feature user-setable option.

Sorry, should have pointed out the fact that as this is early code to show 
you where I am heading I have not tried to flesh out all the Enum settings, 
and so I fully agree other data types are needed!!!

Thanks Dave, I will

[pgadmin-hackers] DataTable new upload

2002-03-22 Thread pgsql

Dave, Jean-Michel, Mark,

I have submitted a new set of files to the CVS in dev/datatable

see the readme.txt in /dev/datatable for details - note I have NOT yet had 
time to implement all the suggestions Dav gave last time I uploaded a version.

when commiting files to the cvs it asks for the log entry. I write one but 
it appears when you watch the command line window at the base it truncates 
what I write to about 50 charatcers followed by 
Does this mean I should only write this many charatcers in the log as the 
rest will be cut off?


Thanks
Tim.

[pgadmin-hackers] Help Documentation, coding Standards, typo

2002-03-22 Thread pgsql


In coding standards help page, Dave, you have g down as your notation for 
Double but the example has dTotal as the example. I guess you mean 'd', so 
the is a typo.

Coding Standards does not say what label controls should start with.

Next job on the to do list. The last thing I got working was the scroll bar 
in readiness for the resize work.

I wish the desirable features for 7.3 included all of alter table 
implemented. Do you know if it is BTW? A bit out of touch with the 'to do' 
and 'Now done' lists.

Tricky.
My gut feeling is get the classes / object model as close as possible to 
what PostgreSQL exposes. As stated for 7.2 and before this is one thing, 
for 7.3 onwards its another.

Perhaps you can freeze pgAdminII code base at some soon point, make it 
known this is where support for 7.2 and earlier ends, and move the version 
number up a notch and follow through with the 7.3 only route from here on 
in? Perhaps for a season offer bug fixe releases only to the frozen 7.2 
version, with a cut off date, roughly in keeping with the expected adoption 
rate of 7.3. For us mere NT/2000 folk, perhaps also wait until 7.3 is out 
on Cygwin, too before freezing all support for 7.2.

Ahhh, the wonderful world of open source Its like looking at the best 
countryside in full clarity. but whilst sitting on a train,
the view always keeps shifting..
