To installing PostgreSQL on Mac, we will use the Postgres.App. pgAdmin is an administrative tool to manage your database, import and export data and write SQL queries.
You think people complain about Slack's resource utilization? I can see it easily being far worse in an Electron database management UI where you are loading lots and lots of data into memory (be it DDL/schema or data).In this post, You will learn how to install PostgreSQL and pgAdmin on Mac operating system. I'd be concerned about responsiveness and memory management in Electron for a Postgres admin app. Writing an exhaustive UI for something as complex as Postgres is not an easy task and it's easy to underestimate the effort involved.įinally having done a fair amount of development in Python, Electron, C++ (and many other languages) - and having developed a pretty extensive app in Electron, there are trade-offs in almost every aspect of building a tool like this. Many of which are single devs or small teams with either freemium or commercial offerings.
It's worth pointing out that a lot of time and effort went into it, and there are a lot of competing UIs. It's easy to bikeshed on projects like this. I think that it probably would feed better and more responsive if they went with a different JS framework for the front-end (think something like React or Vue.js). While I wouldn't have chosen the embedded web-server and app approach, I imagine it makes it easier for them to add functionality and grow with Postgres. In addition, i think it makes it easier for EDB and others to use pgAdmin as a platform for enterprise add-ons. I imagine extendability and maintainability were a big part of that. While I still prefer 3 to 4, it's worth considering why Dave and crew rewrote it for 4. It's also worth pointing out the source is still and forking it wouldn't be difficult at all. VC++ was used for Windows compilation, but it is/was a true multi-platform app. FWIW it wasn't Visual C++ but rather C++ with QT, and was multi-platform.
