PostgreSQL: 7.3.3
Client OS: W2K SP2.
pgAdmin III: 0.1.1 Devel(Jun 14 2003)
Here's a few errors that I've encountered when
testing pgAdmin III.
1) Error Message: "There is more than one procedure named
texticregexeq"
This happens as soon as I select the default public Schema,
the pg_catalog Schema or the Operators item in the left hand browser
list on a database that has in the pg_catalog an additional data type.
This data type is named citext (meaning case insensitive text). There is a
loadable c-module that contains a minimum number of functions for defining "=",
"<>", etc. The storage is identical to text, in fact it uses the same
input and output functions, so I therefore over-loaded nearly all of the other
system's internal functions for text to give citext full support with respect to
operators, casts, regular expressions etc.
Hence for regular _expression_
support I over-loaded the operator function "texticregexeq". I have the
following functions in my pg_catalog schema;
i) texticregexeq(bpchar,
citext)
ii) texticregexeq(text, text)
iii) texticregexeq(varchar,
citext)
iv) texticregexeq(text, citext)
v) texticregexeq(citext,
citext)
The "Operators" section of the database that uses
these overloaded functions is totally empty!
I never got any errors like this using pgAdmin II
on the same database. pgAdmin II displayed all the operators etc. including
my own additions as outlined.
2) Error Message: "There is more than one procedure
named pg_catalog.textcat"
I'm not sure what I did to get this message...
sorry that's not much help I know. I suspect that its similar to
the for-mentioned error message as I have over-loaded the textcat
function such that in my pg_catalog I have:
textcat(text, text)
textcat(citext, citext)
I would say that its to do with this and the fact
that I have the operator || for citext that uses the textcat function as defined
above.
3) Error Message: "parser: parse error at or near "," at character
145"
This happens when I select a table that has a Foreign Key Constraint
that uses more than one column. I assume this because the columns used for such
constraints are not displayed in the definition. For example;
CONSTRAINT
fkey_contrib_user FOREIGN KEY (id_contrib, id_user) REFERENCES tbl_user
(id_contrib, id) ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE RESTRICT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY
DEFERRED
is displayed as:
CONSTRAINT fkey_contrib_user
FOREIGN KEY () REFERENCES tbl_user () ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE CASCADE
DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
4) Triggers displayed for a table do not display
parameters passed to the function. For example:
CREATE TRIGGER trig_btrim_cul
BEFORE
INSERT OR UPDATE
ON public.tbl_cmpy
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE btrim_cul();
should display:
CREATE TRIGGER trig_btrim_cul
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON public.tbl_cmpy
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE
btrim_cul('n', 's_name', 'l', 's_email', 'l', 's_web');
5) Cutting and pasting:
Now this one is obviously not so important but its
annoying and rather weird...
I can cut and paste into pgAdmin III from
everything that I have tried so far which is Word 97 and Outlook Express
5.5.
I can cut and paste into Outlook Express from
pgAdmin III but I cannot cut and paste from pgAdmin III into Word
97?
6) The security tab page on tables / functions
property dialog does not display correct data (probably an obvious one as
it looks like this tab page is not complete due to the fact that
you cannot add single users, only groups).
Anyway here's an example by comparison between
pgAdmin II and pgAdmin III for the same table.
pgAdmin II displays in the list;
User/Group Name: "PUBLIC" Privileges:
"None"
User/Group Name: "postgres" Privileges:
"All"
pgAdmin III displays in the list;
User/Group Name: "public" Privileges:
User/Group Name: "public" Privileges:
That is there is nothing displayed under the
Privileges column and there are two entries for "public" when there should only
be one and no entry for "postgres"
Basically for every entry it always displays
the group/user as "public" and never displays any privileges. However it does
display the correct text for the ACL property.
7) Colours:
Probably another obvious one. When displaying a
PL/PGSQL functions, the colours in the definition pane are mostly the same -
that is nearly everything between the single quotes defining the function are
the colour purple (the exception is when I have text between quotes (''some
text'') it sometimes displays that in a different colour). When I view the
function via the properties page then the contents is nicely displayed with all
the key words etc. in different colours.
8) Crash:
Pressing the "Options" item on the "File" menu
crashes the application.
Windows reports that a log is being created... I
can't find one anywhere - typical windows!
