Author Need for java based web admin tool
Jobu

2005-09-22, 8:24 pm

Hello,

I would like to admin PostgreSQL databases by using web interface which
runs in Java Application Server (Tomcat).

But I couldn't find any admin tool deployd as WAR file. Is there a java
based web admin or is it just a dream and there is no java analog for
phpPgAdmin?

There is none to my knowledge. Java client side frontends such as Aqua
Data Studio (http://www.aquafold.com/) exist..

So if you have apache running anyway, why not load up mod_php, drop
phpPgAdmin in a dir and be happy? Does it necessarily have to be
webbased? IMHO it's a pain to administrate a DBMS over a webfront.

If it just needs to work over HTTP, there are frontends that can tunnel
over a HTTP connection. EMS Postgres Manager is one of them and the lite
versions are free.

I would like to install to client machine only Tomcat (You can't use
php in Tomcat).
And I would like to leave postgres ports closed, so HTTP tunneling is
not a good solution...

But EMS Postgres Manager seams to be a nice tool, so thanks anyway.

I might be wrong, but isn't it a common setup to have an apache running
in front of tomcat and having apache passing all JSP requests to tomcat ?

That's what EMS PGM's HTTP tunneling is all about. You put a PHP proxy
script on your server, it uses Unix sockets to connect to the local PG
server and the EMS frontend calls that script over HTTP -- and it works
very well.

IMHO the best win32 frontend out there.

Hannes,

How to edit the table data with free version ( addd, delete, filter rows)?

pgAdmin allows to edit data in table form but I havent found any such
possibility in SQL Manager.
