Обсуждение: pgAdmin III v1.2 RC?
I have just installed pgAdmin and it looks quite good, but there is one little thing that is annoying. When showing the results from a select in the grid, the width of the columns is always way too small. Is there anyway around this or do I have to resize every column everytime?

I don't see a reasonable way to remember your preferred sizes (we're not M$ Access, which stores this in table metadata) Regards, Andreas
It's not a question of being Access but what would have been nice is if the column could at least have the same width as the largest string in that column....

Andreas: Can't we get a estimated column size from column metadata ?. That will not be a "preferred" size but maybe will make grid more readable "out of the box". Regards, Diego.

Maybe it could have been an option, it would very often make the grid more viewable...

The text type is widely used.... > What many other client tools of this type have is a "max column display size" setting. Often with a default of something like 30 chars. If the column size is less than this then use the column size otherwise use the maximum. This seems to work well for most data and would still be reasonable for text columns. Cheers, Gary.
