Обсуждение: Schema Report??

In the prior version og pgAdmin there was a report included that dumped a
report laying out the complete schema for a database.  Does anyone know if
there is a way to something similar with pgAdmin II?  I just want a easily
readable view of my entire database configuration.

Hi Dan,

The reports system was not included in pgAdmin II for a number of reasons:

1) Not many people used it (at least if they did, they wouldn't admit to
it!).
2) It added a lot of extra files (and a few Mb) to the distribution.
3) It made the code *significantly* more complex both to enhance &
maintain.

Anyway, currently the only option you have is to save the schema itself to
file and use that as your report. You can do this by selecting a database
in the treeview and using 'Save DB Schema' on the File menu, or if you
prefer, just select a single object and use 'Save Definition' from the
File menu.

The output to both of these options should be fairly nicely formatted...

Regards, Dave.

Me??  Admit to it??  I can neither confirm nor deny having said anything to
that nature.  <g> Thanks Dave.
