file control selection button. All our views are inherited from the Backform.Form (a extended Backbone.View), which has an tag element set to 'form'. The default action for a button in form is to submit the data, and that results into undesirable redirection within our Views. We can resolve the issue of redirection by setting 'preventDefault' to true in the click event object on that button. But - we may use the button control within our view in future, and that will have the similar behaviour. Keeping that in mind, we set the default tag to 'div' instead of 'form' for all our views. ommit.
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
Bootstrap for the client side processing and UI. On the server side, Flask is
being utilised.
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
...
To build the runtime in debug mode, use the option below with qmake
$ qmake CONFIG+=debug
To build the runtime in release mode, use the option below with qmake
$ qmake CONFIG+=release
By default, the runtime application will be built in release mode.
On Linux, an executable called 'pgAdmin4' will be built, and on Mac OS X, an
app bundle called pgAdmin4.app will be created.
To build the runtime on a Windows system, export PYTHON_HOME and PYTHON_VERSION
variables in the System environment. Specify the PYTHON_VERSION with the major
and minor number. Do not specify micro level version.
For example, given a Python version of A.B.C; A - Major number, B - Minor number,
C - Micro level (Bug fix releases).
If Python version is 2.7.2 than specify PYTHON_VERSION=27
e.g. PYTHON_HOME=C:\Python27\
PYTHON_VERSION=27
Support
-------
pgAdmin 4 is completely experiemental and unsupported!
