Re: [EXTERNAL] - Re: How to close pgAdmin4

OK – so no close button on the actual window itself.

Google "windows system tray".

Michelle, 

 

Right click the little picture of the elephant, the context menu should include an entry "Shut down server", select that and you will correctly shut down pgAdmin4.

 

 

Some of your confusion probably stems from the fact, that contrary to appearances, pgAdmin4 is still not a desktop application.  It would really be nice if we could get an actual desktop application, like pgAdmin3 was, as opposed to the lobotomized web server that pgAdmin4 is.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

rik.

Could you show a screen shot of that?  I cannot find the option to exit.

Look for it in the system tray bar, at the lower right corner of the screen, right click it and see the option to exit.

Good morning,

I would like to know how to "really" close pgAdmin4.

When I close the pgAdmin4 tab or the browser supporting pgAdmin4
(Firefox 67.0.4), this does not close pgAdmin4.  It still resides in
Task Manager (Windows 10).

This is very inconvenient.  If after closing pgAdmin4 I try and delete a
database via other means (eg psql) I get the following error message:

     DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS development;

     ERROR:  database "development" is being accessed by other users
     DETAIL:  There are 2 other sessions using the database.

This forces me to start Task Manager, scroll down to pgAdmin4 and select
End Task.

How do I close pgAdmin4 so it is no longer running on the computer and I
can avoid these nuisance steps.

Thanks,

George
