Re: pgadmin3 on macOS "Mojave"

well.  where there is a will, there is a way.   

Pgadmin 3 is open source

the people over a tbigSQL have compiled it for Postgres 10 — and so most of the error messages srtrting the legacy pagadmin 3.2 have been taken out of it.  

It doesn’t work for postgres 11 - since the libpq.dll is probably too old,.

anyway, I’ve been using that ,for months, along with pgadmin 4.

its a little harder to find it on the bigsql web site —  I don’t use their postgres distribution (I use enterprize db’s).

but it work on mojave,  no error messages.    Its not 64 bit, but at this time, who cares.

Its just nice that it works with postgres 10.

Hi Dave,

Understood. I don’t think anyone expects you do that much work; I think we were just expecting/hoping it would be a recompile with a different switch sort of thing.

Updating to 64bit would require a huge amount of work to first get the code working properly with wxWidgets 3, and then to move to Cocoa rather than Carbon.

It’s not a good use of time given how unmaintainable (and out of date) that code has become - it’s definitely not something I have time to do I’m afraid. Time would be far better spend filling the remaining gaps in pgAdmin 4 (whatever they are - we’ve addressed the majority that were reported).

+1 - thanks for the heads-up, Bill. I was just about to upgrade, but I guess I’ll hold off until they respond to this request.

Hello,

 

I recently upgraded my Mac to the latest version of macOS. Now, when I run pgadmin3, I get a message that it needs to be recompiled, apparently for 64bit.

 

Is there a plan to rebuild pgadmin3 for macOS Mojave?

 

I know you’re rather bullish on #4, but it still isn’t up the the usability and usefullness of pgadmin3. It would be great to have the working pgadmin rebuilt for 64 bits while we wait for #4 to mature.

 

(And, yes, pgadmin3 is indeed getting a bit long in the tooth, but it is still vastly more performant, and a much better UI than pgdamin4. #4 is pretty, though.)
