We will be using the external utilities like pg_dump, pg_dumpall,
pg_restore in background. pgAdmin 4 can be run as a CGI script, hence -
it is not good idea to run those utility in a controlled environment.
The process executor will run them in background, and we will execute
the process executor in detached mode.
Now that - the process executor runs in detached mode, we need an
observer, which will look at the status of the processes. It also reads
output, and error logs on demand.
Thanks - Surinder for helping in some of the UI changes.
server connection.
The BaseDriver and BaseConnection are two abstract classes, which allows
us to replace the existing driver with the currently used. The current
implementation supports to connect the PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus
Advanced Server using the psycopg2 driver.
it causes an issue performing DDL operations without sending DML to the
database, flush(..) does the job for us, it sends those operations to
the database without committing it.
And, this was causing the issue in current implemenation, while setting
'Administrator' role to the given email-id after the create_role, and
create_user operations during setup.
(lazy loading) using the require.js. This allows us to load the
javascript required for any node, only when it was loaded in the browser
tree. Also, introduced the mechanism to show/edit/create of any node in
a tab panel (wcDocker.Panel).
PostgreSQL node(s).
Browser Tree Node (PostgreSQL object) requires more than just CRUD.
i.e.
- CRUD (Create, Read, Update & Delete)
- Reversed Engineered SQL for the object
- Modified Query in edit mode
i.e. ALTER TABLE ...
- Statistics
- List of dependents
- List of dependencies
- Children node list
This class can be inherited to achieve the different routes for each of
the object types/collections.
OPERATION | URL | Method
---------------+------------------------+--------
List | /obj/[Parent URL]/ | GET
Properties | /obj/[Parent URL]/id | GET
Create | /obj/[Parent URL]/ | POST
Delete | /obj/[Parent URL]/id | DELETE
Update | /obj/[Parent URL]/id | PUT
SQL (Reversed | /sql/[Parent URL]/id | GET
Engineering) |
SQL (Modified | /sql/[Parent URL]/id | POST
Properties) |
Statistics | /stats/[Parent URL]/id | GET
Dependencies | /deps/[Parent URL]/id | GET
Dependents | /deps/[Parent URL]/id | POST
Children Nodes | /nodes/[Parent URL]/id | GET
NOTE:
Parent URL can be seen as the path to identify the particular node.
i.e.
In order to identify the TABLE object, we requires information
about the server -> database -> schema objects.
Hence, the Parent URL for the TABLE object will be something like
this as below:
<int:sid>/<str:database>/<str:schema>
Inherited a new classes ServerGroupView and ServerView, which are
inherited from the NodeView for the implementation of above operations.
This allows us to update the configuration database schema as needed,
and use the setup script to update it to the current version.
NOTE: Existing databases will need to be recreated once following
this commit. It doesn't seem worth handling the "upgrade from v0"
case when I'm probably the only active developer right now.
Still needs some work to:
- Minimise AJAX calls by writing multiple settings at once.
- Move the settings storage/retrieval JS code into a global file
- Avoid using synchronous AJAX calls in the main thread
This uses a single default user in the config database, which is
auto-logged into the app when SERVER_MODE = False. In this mode we
also hide/remove user-related functions in the UI.
A user authentication module based on flask-security is added, which
allows users to login and change/recover passwords etc. Custom templates
are included for the user/password UIs.
A new setup script will initialise the user (and later settings) DB,
adding the first user and granting them an Administrator role.
A redirects blueprint module is added to handle simple URL redirects.
A browser module is added and currently renders a skeleton page with
a menu bar, gravatar and jumbotron.
NOTE FOR LATER: Currently this code might make the nice basis for any
web app that needs user management and plugins. Hmmm....
