Обсуждение: PgAdmin2 stopped working
Hello,
I used PgAdmin2-1.2.0 under Win-NT (insllation about two years old).
Our network admin started a complete automatical setup (which is usually
done here in our institute) with the recent program version of several
Win stuff - please do not ask me what stuff was installed. I quite
nearly use my Win-box - in principle using PgAdmin ist the only application.
(And yes, I have a very different opinion about this which was expressed
when you search the archive to the keyword "wine" and get there the thread
with topic "Linux Version". At least it is strange that there is no
comparable *NIX-Version and I see no reason to uses non-free stuff to
develope production critical tools. Python or some other portable
development environment whould be much more sane than VB in my opinion.)
The problem is that PgAdmin crashes with an error and claims that some
ActiveX component is missing and I'm feeling frustrated because I'm not
able to debug even if the software is free - but I'm missing the relevant
tools to debug it.
Any idea what might be missing here. I really have no clue under Win
because I do all my every day work under Linux. Thus I tried to follow
the hints under PgAdmin - Wine but it also crashed and the PgAdmin-Wine.HOWTO
seems not to be finished.
Any help?
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: I'm not subscribed to this list. So a foreward would be kind.

I'm not going to get into that argument again. pgAdmin was written in VB 'cos in 1997 when it was started, people were shouting out for a Windows frontend. pgAccess already existed, but iirc didn't run on Windows at that time. I wrote it in VB 'cos that's what I knew then. If you think it would be better in Python then download the ~30K lines of code from http://cvs.pgadmin.org and feel free to start porting. > The problem is that PgAdmin crashes with an error and claims > that some ActiveX component is missing and I'm feeling > frustrated because I'm not able to debug even if the software > is free - but I'm missing the relevant tools to debug it. Try re-installing MDAC (2.6 would be good) and then if required, pgAdmin as well. > Any idea what might be missing here.

No, the pgadmin-wine.HOWTO isn't even started 'cos Wine doesn't want to play ball. Regards, Dave.

Be sure I know the this usual answer and be assured that I spend lots of my spare time to write free software. I just want to make clear that I did a side note (thats why I enclided my text into () ) about my thoughts on writing Open Source software using Closed Software tools. You are not able to *prove* security if you depend from Closed Source software and this sucks in my opinion. It was no offense - it was a hint. Sometimes it is worth the effort to drop some knowledge and learn new things. But feel free to ignore those hints. This is no "I'm against Windows flame" - this is just the result of my reasoning how database processing could be done securely. (At least I'm happy that I've got some news in private mail that somebody is working on the thing you suggested.) > Try re-installing MDAC (2.6 would be good) and then if required, pgAdmin > as well. I found only 2.5 available online but it worked so far. Thanks. > No, the pgadmin-wine.HOWTO isn't even started 'cos Wine doesn't want to > play ball. Did anybody tried to contact the Wine people about that problem? At least somebody had access in the past if I read yout mail archive ... Kind regards Andreas.
