Psql doesn't have to deal with multiple connections to different
databases, let alone different servers at once. Having had to fix the
end result of the confusion that differing datestyles can cause on a
multi-million row table there is no way I'd want pgAdmin to work in
anything other than unambiguous ISO format.

> It's not very easy to switch my mind :) between datestyles.

Well, I would consider applying a patch that gave the user the option of
turning on database-formatted dates, but only if it was off by default.
This is not something I'm going to work on though.

> By the way, previous versions of pgadmin (II ?) worked well.

pgAdmin II was an entirely different application written using different
technology with it's own set of problems. It certainly suffered from the
ambiguity problem that is my main concern, although to a lesser extent
as it only connected to one server at a time.

[pgadmin-support] Annoyance: Windows XP - Help file always on top

2006-01-19 Thread Luc Mousseau




Platform: Windows XP 
Professional
Language: 
English
Distribution/version: pgAdmin III v1.5 (Dec 9 2005) and all previous
 
This is not so much a bug as just really irritating, 
and Im not 100% sure if it's an issue with pgAdmin or Windows (i lean towards 
pgAdmin because this isn't normal behaviour). 
 
The pgAdmin help file.. when you open it from within 
pgAdmin (F1 or Help menu), it appears to be stuck in an "always on top" mode 
(that I can't find an option for). It's really annoying when you have the help 
file open and want to see the main pgAdmin window, if you click on the 
taskbar button for pgAdmin and the help file comes up. Same thing if you try 
alt-tabbing to pgAdmin, you get the help file.. The only way to see the pgAdmin 
window is to then either minimize the help file, or reduce it's window size and 
actually click on the pgAdmin window beneath it, but even then it stays on 
top..
 
Regards,
 
Luc

Hi Luc.

You could clear it by minimizing help window. The help system 
of windows has the specification which you say. We think that it 
is unchangeable. However, Complaint can be told to Microsoft.:-)
Probably, theory of majority?
