Обсуждение: Is there an opensource Mac OSX equivalent to pgAdmin or pgAccess?
Is there an opensource Mac equivalent to pgAdmin or pgAccess? I have looked for a few days and don't seem to find anything. Perhaps it means doing a compile myself for pgAdmin or pgAccess since they do have Unix source code. Thanks in advance Philip
Phillip, > Is there an opensource Mac equivalent to pgAdmin or pgAccess? Not Open Source. Heavy Lifters, Inc. publishes pgMac, which is free for non-commercial use: http://www.pgmac.com ... however, you gotta pay for commercial use. And I don't think you get the source code. It's a good product, though. > I have looked for a few days and don't seem to find anything. > Perhaps it > means doing a compile myself for pgAdmin or pgAccess since they do > have Unix > source code. pgAdmin is Windows-only. Believe me, I've tried, but it depends on MS ODBC and the VB/COM widget set. pgAccess has, as of 7.2, fallen so far behind PostgreSQL development as to be unusable; I'd love to see someone re-start this project, but I don't do Tcl. For more limited but somewhat graphical Postgres access, have you considered phpPgAdmin? It gives you web browser access to the database tables, and runs easily on Apache/PHP/Postgres/OSX.1 -Josh Berkus
Josh, thank you for your quick reply. >> Is there an opensource Mac equivalent to pgAdmin or pgAccess? > > Not Open Source.

I know that Apache is there. Marc L.'s postgres 7.1.3 install works well too. Would that entail compiling phpPgAdmin for OSX? Thanks again Philip

I don't know what the default OSX Server install comes with. If you have to install it yourself, be careful; PHP by default connects only with MySQL and needs to be compiled for Postgres support. See http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ for some help. Once PHP/Apache/Postgres is set up, phpPgAdmin is easy ... you just copy it to a folder under your Web Root, and it works. -Josh ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete information technology josh@agliodbs.com and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.
