Обсуждение: Stored Procedures and pgAdmin
Hello Everyone, I'm a newbie to PostgreSQL and pgAdmin. I apologize if this has been answered before, and I'm sure it has, but I've not found the answer yet. What I would like to know is how do I add a stored proc to PostgreSQL using pgAdmin? I've tried creating a new stored function and such, but after I select the procedure name, return type etc, and go to the SQL tab I am unable to enter my SQL statments. I'm sure that I'm not doing something correctly as it occurs on both Linux and Windows. If there is documentation on how to do this would someone please be so kind as to send me a link? I'm not adverse to reading. :-) Thanks in advance, John Brosan
Cheetah, Thanks a bunch! I was unsure what that box was for. I'll give this a shot when I get home.

Hi, I have been using PG Admin 3 for about 5 months now and mostly it is a great program, however the function editor window is driving me nuts. I know I have been told that if I simply resize it the problems will go away, and they do for awhile. The problem is I am so used to using the maximize button in every single other windows app out there. The way the PGadmin 3 function editor window behaves is not like any other windows app I have ever used.(even junky outlook express does not do this) I don't have one single app on my pc where the window will open off to the lower left of the screen if you maximize it. Can the developers please do something about this weird behavior? And please don't tell me it is the way it should be... I have several other developers who I have introduced to PGAdmin III and they all complain about the function editor. Could you at least make it open center screen? or how about adding a simple preference option that if checked the function editor would simply open maximized, it does not block the desktop when maximized and I am sure most users maximize the window anyway. It is a royal pain to have to manually resize it everytime I open a new function. Is what I am asking impossible? Please at least add a option so we the users can choose the behavior we prefer. Thanks for listening. Tony Caduto Senior Programmer/Analyst M&I Trust
When creating a new function if you select the owner, and in my case the only one available in the picklist is postgres, the function will fail to create. To reproduce, just pick a owner name and then try to create the function. It works fine if you leave it blank, but for many new users who don't know this it causes problems. I had a developer who works with me spend a hour trying to get his function to work until he finally ask for help. Thanks, TC

This is win32 weird behaviour, returning bogus sizes/positions if maximized. consequently, values are out of range if restoring previous positions. Several apps will display the window of the screen in that situation (e.g. xrced), pgadmin will push it back on screen. Do not maximize, instead resize to your preferred size without using that F***ing maximize button to enable pgadmin's position remembering feature. Don't complain about this to me. I don't ever use maximize, because it disables D&D. wxWidgets can't handle it, and unless somebody else wants to implement this specifically it will stay like this. Regards, Andreas

Please at least add a option so we the > users can choose the behavior we prefer. I'm a bit tired arguing again and again why maximizing can't be handled on win32 with wxWidgets. As a consequence to this repeating request I've removed the "grab the whole screen and screw up all size handling", misleadingly called "maximize window", on win32. NB: GTK works as expected.

I can't reproduce this on 8.0. Apparently owner isn't supported on older versions, I'll change pgAdmin accordingly. Regards, Andreas
Andreas, The point is you are not the only user of this software, and many many others DO use the maximize button. I don't have anyone else to complain to :-) I could do it myself, but I would have to learn C++ and Wxwidgets and it would probably take me weeks to get up to speed with it, but you on the other hand should be able to resolve this by simply making the form open center screen like it does in the stable release from last year. I could easily write a similar program in Borland Delphi,but I like PG Admin III and I don't have time to make a new one that has a correct functioning editor. Can't you guys at least make it optional to open center screen, or just open maximized right off the bat? I don't think I am asking for much here.

There will be no maximize support in win32 from me, and the issue has been discussed in-deep several times now, scan the archives. Do resize the window, and your preferred size/position will be saved. The next snapshot (upload tonight) has the maximize button removed. Regards, Andreas
I still don't understand why you are being so unflexible on this matter, even removing the maximize button is going to be inconvienient. I don't know about you but when I am editing a function I like as much real estate as possible, and maximizing gives me every pixel. The function editor should be maximized by default if you ask me and it should be show in the task bar and be able to minimize. Right now if you open up more than one function, you have to drag the other one out of the way, This realy needs to be addressed. Have you ever used Word or any other major windows application, none of them behave like PG Admin III when it comes to editing something. I am sorry, but I believe you are wrong about this and you are just being bull headed/stubborn. I am not trying to be a pest, but how difficult would it be to have a simple registry entry and if it's true maximize the the window. or a INI fle or a conf file whatever.... If Wxwindows is this un flexible you should have used something else.... If PG Admin III can't accomodate this very simple request I will have to stop recommending it and I will create a clone in Delphi where there are no issues with form maximizing and position.
