PHPPGADMIN TODO LIST FOR DEVELOPERS ----------------------------------- phpPgAdmin is an open source project which means that if you see something on this list that you would like to implement, just send us a patch. You can find our project page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin/ An item is marked 'claimed' when a username in brackets is put after the TODO item. If you want to work a claimed item, please contact the developers list. An item is marked with a '-' if it has been completed. Cluster ------- * Allow reading of postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf per pg_read_file() in 8.1 * Support pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile() 8.1 commands * Add support for default db to connect to on login page (we had several users complaining about that lately) Export ------ * Switch to SPARQL format: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-rdf-sparql-XMLres-20050801/ Actually...SQL/XML is maybe better. Import ------ * Allow import of data via compressed (bzip/gzip/zip) files Users ----- * user variables (eg. ALTER USER SET .. TO ...) Groups ------ Roles ----- Permissions ----------- * Grant ... on all tables, views, ... to user, group, public Databases --------- * Add alter database variables * Add database stats * REASSIGN OWNED & DROP OWNED support for 8.2+ - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-reassign-owned.html - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-drop-owned.html Schemas ------- Large Objects ------------- * Add support for large objects (review patch from Dmitry Koterov https://github.com/DmitryKoterov/phppgadmin/commit/3072e666bd2b291feb91823b41f1fdb8ec7f492d ) Tables ------ * Rewrite WITHOUT OIDs with more natural WITH OIDS * Allow FKs during create table (Jawed) * When adding a column or creating a table, prevent size on non-size types (eg. integer(2)). You can find these by looking at format_type in the postgresql source code. * Add WITH storage_parameter option to create table [8.2] * Add last vacuum and analyze information from statistics tables [8.2] * Restrict operators (from $selectOps array) to appropriate types (ie. no LIKE for int4 fields) * Alter column should handle types with implicit cast types distinctly from those requiring a USING clause * Where ENUM types are an option, restrict choice to enum values [8.3] Columns ------- * Add column constraints during creation and altering of columns Views ----- * Support temporary views per 8.1? * Support updateable views, see http://gerrybthunkings.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-should-postgresql-pgadmin-iii-deal.html Sequences --------- Functions --------- * Remove options for OUT/INOUT params in older servers * Clean up javascript html spec warnings * GUC settings [8.3] * Default param values Indexes ------- * Support 8.1 Reindex System commands * Expressional indexes * Create Index Asc/Desc, Nulls First/Last [8.3] Types ----- * Suppres psuedo-type options in type list for creating composite types. (done ?) Operators --------- * Create * Create/Alter/Drop Operator Family Operator Classes ---------------- * Create Triggers -------- * Allow functions from other schemas. * Support replica trigger modes (8.3) Aggregates ---------- * Allow for multi-column aggregates [8.2] * Rewrite the aggregate edition page ! It is using input tetxt everywhere presently, even for owner and schéma ! Languages --------- * Drop * Create * Alter owner [8.3] * Alter name [8.3] Domains ------- * Alter DOMAIN SET SCHEMA support Conversions ----------- * Properties * Drop * Create Casts ----- * Properties * Drop * Create Full Text Search (8.3) ---------------------- * Create/Alter/Drop parser * Alter Owner Miscellaneous ------------- * Audit for PHP 5.3.x compatability * Support 8.1 standard compliant strings (E'') * Support per-database connection limits per 8.1 * Put a 'What's blocking this query' on Processes view * Show prepared statements on database view [8.2] * Show cursors on database view [8.2] * Show NOTICES on queries in SQL window/file * Printable view of things * Show comments for all objects (Dan Boren) * Allow setting/dropping comments for all objects (Dan Boren) * Show owner for all objects * Allow changing owner for objects that have this feature [7.4+ generally] * Add CASCADE option to Truncate [8.2] * Add ONLY option to Truncate [8.4] * Add information about synch tool to TRANSLATORS * Translated FAQ * Pull FAQ/HISTORY/CREDITS/etc... from CVS for website. * Add support for csvlogs [8.3] * Add executed file scripts in history Exotic ------ * Pivot reports (ADODB has a feature for this) * Parameterized reports (use prepared queries) * Full web accessability conformance Principles ---------- * register_globals off support * maximum error_reporting support - enforces code quality, reduces bugs and improves security * PHP 5.0 features used * No HTML font, colour, layout tags. Use CSS for everything * One day we should make it all XHTML * everything properly escaped - prevent sql injection and cross-site scripting probs * Support Postgres 8.4 and upwards * psql -E is a cool way of seeing how to do schema queries * Checking out older versions of describe.c in src/bin/psql in the postgres distro is a good way of seeing how to query older versions of postgres for schema information * Put functions in the highest class possible. For instance, simple selects should be in Postgres, whereas something that works for < 8.2 should be in the 8.1 class. This will minimise bugs and duplicated code. * Adhere to current coding standards * Avoid using global variables if possible
