|
**Note:** The PSQL tool is always available when pgAdmin is running in Desktop
|
|
|
|
|
mode, but is disabled by default in Server mode. This is because users can run
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary shell commands through psql which may be considered a security risk in
|
|
|
|
|
some deployments. System Administrators can enable the use of the PSQL tool in
|
|
|
|
|
the pgAdmin configuration by setting the *ENABLE_PSQL* option to *True*; see
|
|
|
|
|
:ref:`config_py` for more information.
