pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world.

Dave Page 10515431c7 Add authentication and the basis of the browser module.
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....

pgAdmin 4
=========

pgAdmin 4 is a rewrite of the popular pgAdmin3 management tool for the
PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org) database. 

At present, it is an experimental/proof of concept project. Use at your own
risk, and don't blame us if it breaks anything!

Architecture
------------

pgAdmin 4 is being written as a web application in Python, using jQuery and 
Backbone for the client side processing and UI. On the server side, CherryPy is
being considered.

Although developed using web technologies, we intend for pgAdmin 4 to be usable
either on a web server using a browser, or standalone on a workstation. The
runtime/ subdirectory contains a QT based runtime application intended to allow
this - it is essentially a browser and Python interpretor in one package which
will be capable of hosting the Python application and presenting it to the user
as a desktop application.

Building
--------

To build the runtime, the following packages must be installed:

- QT 4.6 or above (older versions may work, but haven't been tested).
- Python 2.6 or above.

Assuming both qmake and python-config are in the path:

$ cd $PGADMIN4_SRC/runtime
$ qmake
Project MESSAGE: Building for QT5+...
$ make
...

On Linux, an executable called 'pgAdmin4' will be built, and on Mac OS X, an
app bundle called pgAdmin4.app will be created.

At the time of writing, no attempt has been made to build the runtime on a
Windows system, though in theory it should work.

Support
-------

pgAdmin 4 is completely experiemental and unsupported!
