Modified: trunk/pgadmin3/CHANGELOG trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/frm/frmBackup.cpp trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/frm/frmBackupGlobals.cpp trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/frm/frmBackupServer.cpp trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/frm/frmOptions.cpp trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/frm/frmRestore.cpp trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/include/utils/sysSettings.h trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/ui/frmOptions.xrc trunk/pgadmin3/pgadmin/ui/xrcDialogs.cpp
> Add an option to ignore server version mismatches with pg_dump/pg_dumpall/pg_restore. Why don't add this option to backup and restore dialogs? And use option in frmOptions as default value. I think it will make end users feel more convenient and more happy. ^_^ Along with this topic, I had tried to use old-version pgadmin (1.6.3) connect to newer db (8.3 & 8.4). When click the schema node, get a error message complain column op.oprlsortop does not exist (maybe its name changed in newer version). Now, we have BackendMinimumVersion function to confirm backward-compatible. Clearly, it is needed that confirm forward-compatible. We can give a upper limit version to individual pgadmin version. When end users wanna connect to newer db, they will get a warning message or hint. ----------------------------------------------- Quan Zongliang quanzongliang@gmail.com CIT Japan: http://www.cit.co.jp CIT China: http://www.citbj.com.cn

It's an option that generally shouldn't be used as it's potentially dangerous. That said, perhaps it would make more sense to include on each dialogue, but always defaulting to 'off' so the user is forced to select it every time. Unfortunately that would mean some redesigning of those 4 dialogues which I don't really have the spare cycles for. > Along with this topic, > I had tried to use old-version pgadmin (1.6.3) connect to newer db (8.3 & 8.4). > When click the schema node, get a error message complain > column op.oprlsortop does not exist (maybe its name changed in newer version). > Now, we have BackendMinimumVersion function to confirm backward-compatible. > Clearly, it is needed that confirm forward-compatible. > We can give a upper limit version to individual pgadmin version. > When end users wanna connect to newer db, they will get a warning message or hint. Good idea. I think a warning is fine - we shouldn't prevent operation entirely. Can you work up a patch? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Add a new variable SERVER_MAX_VERSION here. When end-users try to connect to db, check the version. If it is newer, display a warning dialog. Then the end-users click <OK> button to continue. Ok? ----------------------------------------------- Quan Zongliang quanzongliang@gmail.com CIT Japan: http://www.cit.co.jp CIT China: http://www.citbj.com.cn

I think again. It's really not a good idea. Another option is needed. Otherwise, when end users connect to db with an older version pgAdmin. They will get message box always, but the pgAdmin maybe work fine. This must make them very angry. Add a new option like "Don't check database version."? ----------------------------------------------- Quan Zongliang quanzongliang@gmail.com CIT Japan: http://www.cit.co.jp CIT China: http://www.citbj.com.cn

This must make them very angry. We always release pgAdmin before PostgreSQL anyway, so there is no reason not to upgrade. If you want to create a new type of message box with a 'don't show this again' checkbox, I won't object though. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Ok, study the source and try to modify it. ----------------------------------------------- Quan Zongliang quanzongliang@gmail.com CIT Japan: http://www.cit.co.jp CIT China: http://www.citbj.com.cn
