Re: [Jpgadmin-development] More interface ideas

[Dave C. <Da...@mi...>]

Tony,

One thing I like about pgadmin is that they show the databases. They do
this by creating a connection to the db to the template1 database, that
way you can show all the database's in the server. 

Yes we can store the logins. we will have to use a .jpgadmin file in the
user's home directory since this will be crossplatform.

The way that pgadmin deals with printable outputs is by using plugins,
so you can output the query to the screen, an OLE object, excel, csv,
etc. This approach seems to be the most flexible. We can just create an
interface for the output and write plugins to have it output to xml,
csv, screen, etc...
