PostgreSQLServer is a build of postgreSQL server for MacOS X (panther). It is embedded in a Cocoa frontend to simplify its setup (drag and drop) and customization.
This program may be used to setup and customize a PostgreSQL server : Just drop PostgreSQLX.app in your application folder, launch it, and customize your server(s). 3 versions are available :
• An application with an embedded server : There is no need to download or install anything because the last version of the server (PostgreSQL 7.4.3) is already embedded within PostgreSQLX.app.
• An application without the server : You MUST have a valid PostgreSQL setup somewhere.
• A preference pane without the server : You MUST have a valid PostgreSQL setup somewhere (This can be the full PostgreSQLX.app application).
What's New:
Misc bug-fixes.
numerous GUI modifications.
PostgreSQL server documentation is accessible wia the "Help" menu.
PostgreSQLX.app documentation is accessible wia the "Help" menu.
Tips are displayed on the "Service settings" tab to help during setup.
Instance management is operational. It is now possible to manage an arbitrary number of servers.
PostgreSQLX can now create the user account for the server.
Each instance can be disabled without dropping the startupItem.
Modifications on each tab can be reverted, saved and reset.
The bugs with the check boxes in the "Configuration" panel has been fixed.
The "Configuration" tab should work better (I re-checked all bindings and validity conditions).
The "Log" tab has been added.
The "Backup" tab has been added. It will allow to make backups (full or single database).
A preference pane has been created (It does not include the server but can manage other servers).
