Re: pgAdmin 4 v2.0 Release Candidate 2

I noticed that the dashboard has is not in the server panel by default,

but must be added. Was that intentional?

>What does that mean?

It means that when I installed v2. I could not figure out where there

dashboard was. Then I just happened to right click on the right side and

noticed there were options to Detach or "Add pane;". A mouse over on Add Panel gives the option to select Dashboard. Voila!

>pgAdmin 4 never did that. It’s not a change.

True, but PgAdmin III did!  See attached. THAT is a change in

functionality / feature!

No, I am asking you to restore old functionality. See above.

Query cancellation {pg_cancel_backend(pid int)} is not the same

as kill session {(pg_terminate_backend(pid int)}. They are two

different features. Apparently pg_terminate_backend(pid int) was

_replaced_ with pg_cancel_backend(pid int).

Also, in PgAdmin III, it was possible to select and cancel session(s).

However, in PgAdmin4 sessions can no longer be canceled/killed from the dashboard, only the associated transaction. That is a major change.

pgAdmin 4 never did that. It’s not a change.

As

a DBA, I need to be able to kill _sessions_. I can get around that with

SQL, but WHY the change? Please, STOP changing how PgAdmin works!

Query cancellation was a feature that was added in response to user requests. Are you really asking us to stop adding new features?
