Download pgAdmin III 1.4.0

You can use pgAdmin to manage PostgreSQL databases. This database manager is very comprehensive and cross-platform available on FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Linux and Windows, among others. Version 1.4.0 has recently been released and adds support for PostgreSQL 8.1 and includes “Guru Hints” to help new users. The release notes look like this:

I’m pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin 1.4.0, the Open Source graphical PostgreSQL administration tool for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris, now available for download in source and a variety of binary formats.

V1.4.0 contains a number of new features over previous releases, including:

• An SQL/shell job scheduling agent.
• PostgreSQL 8.1 support:
  • Autovacuum administration.
  • roles.
  • Stored procedures (i.e. Functions with OUT parameters).
  • prepared transactions.
• Allow server registration without connect.
• Allow connection selection in the query tool.
• Major source tree and architecture overhaul to allow further extensibility.
• Unix domain socket support.
