29 pgAdmin III \- administration and development GUI for PostgreSQL
32 \fBpgadmin3\fR [ \fB\fIoption\fB\fR\fI...\fR ]
35 pgAdmin III is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration
36 and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source
37 database in the world. pgAdmin III is designed to answer the needs of most
38 users, from writing simple SQL queries to developing complex databases.
39 It includes a graphical administration interface, an SQL query tool,
40 a procedural code editor and much more.
42 This program is a graphical application and the binary file is available
43 in /usr/bin. Simply type "pgadmin3" on a command line to launch the GUI.
44 However, some of the features can be accessed through command line.
48 The following options are supported:
53 Display command line option help
57 \fB--server=\fIserver\fB\fR
58 Auto connect to the specified server. \fIserver\fR is the description
59 entered when you added the server to the treeview in pgAdmin,
60 quoted if required. If multiple servers are registered with the same
61 description, the first found will be auto-connected.
66 Open a Query Tool window upon connection. If used together with the
67 -s \fIserver\fR option, the query tool will automatically be
68 connected to this server. If used alone, a dialog box will appear
69 prompting for the connection information. This switch cannot be used
70 together with the -qc \fIconnection\fR option.
72 \fB-qc \fIconnection\fB\fR
74 \fB--queryconnect=\fIconnection\fB\fR
75 Open a Query Tool window upon connection. The query tool will
76 automatically be connected to the server specified in the connection
77 string. This option cannot be used together with the -q switch.
81 \fB--configfile=\fIfile\fB\fR
82 Edit the specified postgresql.conf config file.
87 Edit the specified pg_hba.conf config file.
91 \fB-file=\fIfile\fB\fR
92 Edit the config files in specified cluster directory.
97 Start in dialogue translation test mode. This mode allows each dialogue
98 to be viewed without running the application to assist with string
106 for descriptions of the following attributes:
