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.

Ronan Dunklau eb6580b43a Introduced a PgAdmin class inherited from the Flask, which looks for
submodules inherited from the PgAdminModule instead of regular
Blueprint. This allows us to load the module automatically from the
under the pgadmin directory, and will work to extend the pgAdmin
extension module.

PgAdminModule is inherited from the Blueprint, and bring several
methods:
-  get_own_stylesheets, which returns the stylesheets used by the module
   (excluding its submodules stylesheets)
- get_own_javascripts
- menu_items, which returns a dictionray mapping the old hook names
  (context_items etc) to a list of MenuItem instances

For more specialized modules (as for now, any module that should be part
of the browser tree construction), one can define an abstract base class
defining additional methods.

For example, the BrowserPluginModule abstract base class defines the
following methods:
- jssnippets
- csssnipeets
- node_type
- get_nodes

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
...

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!
