pgAdmin 4 supports all PostgreSQL features, from writing simple SQL queries to
|
|
developing complex databases. It is designed to query an active database (in
|
|
real-time), allowing you to stay current with modifications and implementations.
|
|
|
|
Features of pgAdmin 4 include:
|
|
|
|
* auto-detection and support for objects discovered at run-time
|
|
* a live SQL Query Tool with direct data editing
|
|
* support for administrative queries
|
|
* a syntax-highlighting SQL editor
|
|
* redesigned graphical interfaces
|
|
* powerful management dialogs and tools for common tasks
|
|
* responsive, context-sensitive behavior
|
|
* supportive error messages
|
|
* helpful hints
|
|
* online help and information about using pgAdmin dialogs and tools.
|
|
|
|
When pgAdmin opens, the interface features a menu bar and a window divided into
|
|
two panes: the *Browser* tree control in the left pane, and a tabbed browser in
|
|
the right pane.
