Hi Dave,
Those companies simply bundle pgAdmin III, they don't sell it, there is
a big difference.  I know for a fact the ones you are talking about and
the version they bundle have no changes over the stock one at all.

I don't think mentioning a product as a alternative to pgAdmin III is
wrong since pgAdmin III has such a big advantage being distributed with
the Windows version of Postgresql.  It almost has monopoly written on it
since the user is not given any idea that there is anything else
available. At least you are not forced to install it, but still a
HUGE,HUGE advantage over any other competing product.

pgAdmin does not play fair either, if you want to talk fair maybe a link
should be placed in the windows pgAdmin installer informing users of
other comercially available options.

Thanks for the heads up on the spelling, I was not aware it was spelled
like that.


Later,

Tony
