ANN: PgBrowser-1.6 and PgBrowser-1.7

PgBrowse ver 1.7 is a generic Postgresql database browser that works on
Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms that is written in Tcl/Tk.
A Starpack is available for Linux/x86 and an application bundle
is available for MacOSX.

What is new in 1.6?
     o 1.6 Contains and can display the complete html Postgresql
documentation set.

What is new in 1.7?
     o Corrected error that prevented "Postgresql Documentation" from
being
       opened more than once per session. (sigh...)
     o Added the ability to save the contents of the SQL window. By
       default the saved file will have an extension of ".sql" and
       will be written to the "~/SQLScripts" directory.
     o Added the ability to refresh the scripts menu while the program
       is running.
     o Added MouseWheel support (each event scrolls 5 units).


A some features of PgBrowser.

1) PgBrowser can display/extract graphical images stored in the database
as bytea or large objects (via the Img package).

2) PgBrower supports SQL libraries of your favorite queries. At startup
PgBrowser looks for "~/SQLScripts" and builds a menu of all members of
the directory that end in ".sql". Subdirectories will generate the
appropriate submenu. Selecting a menu item will load the SQL window
with the query.

3) PgBrowser supports a "history" of queries/commands passed to the
backend. Previous commands can be easily recalled from the keyboard.
Gracefully exiting the program will cause the history to be stored
in "~/SQLScripts" as HiStOrY.tcl. This file will be "sourced" at
program startup to recover the command history.

4) If PgBrowser is running on a Mac or Linux system that has
"psql" located in a standard location, it is possible to execute
"psql" commands from within PgBrowser.

5) Individual fields can be extracted and saved to user specified
files. This includes bytea and large object fields.

6) A simple grid based table  editor is now available to make
changes in the database. The editor has features that facilitate
the use of BYTEA and Large Object fields.
