coming back to postgresql after several years of oracle ...
what are the state-of-the art postgresql administrative/ddl generating/data inserting frontends on windows? it would be nice if it had integration for postgis as well. it should be standalone or alternatively a plugin for intellij idea
thinking back, all the windows programs specific for postgresql i have used were crap, especially PGAdmin. had it become better?
回答1:
I like Postgresql Maestro. I also use their version for MySql. I'm pretty statisfied with their product. Or you can use the free tool PgAdmin.
回答2:
do you mean something like pgAdmin for administration?
回答3:
I heartily recommended dbVis. The client runs on Mac, Windows and Linux and supports a variety of database servers, including PostgreSQL.
回答4:
Actually there is a freeware version of EMS's SQL Manager which is quite powerful
回答5:
I recommend Navicat strongly. What I found particularly excellent are it's import functions - you can import almost any data format (Access, Excel, DBF, Lotus ...), define a mapping between the source and destination which can be saved and is repeatable (I even keep my mappings under version control).
I have tried SQLMaestro and found it buggy (particularly for data import); PGAdmin is limited.

For anyone looking for a web-enabled client for Postgres, I'll just put the link out here to TeamPostgreSQL, a very polished AJAX web client for pg:

回答7:
EMS's SQL Manager is much easier to use and has many more features than either phpPgAdmin or PG Admin III. However, it's windows only and you have to pay for it.
回答8:
SQLExplorer is a great Eclipse plugin or standalone interface that works with many different database systems, either with dedicated drivers or with ODBC.
回答9:
phpPgAdmin is PostgreSQL web frontend which is quite good.
