Обсуждение: locally running servers
hi! i noticed that pgadmin found i have a server running on the same machine and it automatically added it to the object browser. the first few times it also reported an error about not being able to read the pgsql key from the registry but it still added the server to the list, now it just adds it even if i delete it. could there be an option where pgadmin would list any servers it can find and i could then check which i'd like to see at startup, even if i or any other user accidentally deletes them? or if i could just turn off this feature of automatically adding the server to the list? thank you :) -- regards, Miha

I wonder why you wouldn't like to see the server on your very own machine. I'm not too inclined to change the detection feature (the missing key could come from an older pginstaller, what's the exact key?) Regards, Andreas
if i set up pgadmin for certain users and set only those servers they need. and if (unfortunately) a server is running on the same machine, i do not wish for it to be on the list unless i specify it. the problematic key was: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Services\pgsql-8.0-beta1 this key exists (and existed when the error was reported). if i remember correctly, there was something about a missing file in the error i got. in this key i have the following data stored: data dir, superuser, display name, encoding, locale and service account. regards, M Andreas Pflug wrote: > Miha Radej wrote: > >> hi! >> >> i noticed that pgadmin found i have a server running on the same >> machine and it automatically added it to the object browser. the first >> few times it also reported an error about not being able to read the >> pgsql key from the registry but it still added the server to the list, >> now it just adds it even if i delete it. could there be an option >> where pgadmin would list any servers it can find and i could then >> check which i'd like to see at startup, even if i or any other user >> accidentally deletes them? or if i could just turn off this feature of >> automatically adding the server to the list? > > > I wonder why you wouldn't like to see the server on your very own > machine.

This requirement appears quite exotic to me. I don't see how to prevent discovering it for you without degrading the usefulness of the feature for others. Of course you could edit the server entry; autodiscovery won't override settings for a server with a ServiceId already stored. Regards, Andreas
