<h1>PgAccess - Introduction</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="whatpga"><h2>What is PgAccess?</h2>
|
|
||||||
PgAccess is a graphical user interface for the PostgreSQL database management
|
|
||||||
system written in the Tcl/Tk scripting language by Constantin Teodorescu. It
|
|
||||||
allows the user to interact with PostgreSQL in a manner similar to many PC
|
|
||||||
database applications, with menu choices and graphical tools like buttons.
|
|
||||||
This means that the user can avoid the basic command line interface for most
|
|
||||||
common tasks. PgAccess doesn't change the way PostgreSQL operates, just makes
|
|
||||||
it easier to use for those familiar with graphical interfaces.<p>
|
|
||||||
Obviously, you <u>must</u> have PostgreSQL installed and running, and Tcl/Tk on
|
|
||||||
your system before you can use PgAccess.<p>
|
|
||||||
PgAccess is an "open source" application. The source code is available to the
|
|
||||||
user, and may be modified by the user. The user can fix a bug, or change the
|
|
||||||
way a function operates. You may not want to get that involved with the
|
|
||||||
programming, but you have the option to do so. If you feel you have made an
|
|
||||||
improvement to the program, you are encouraged to share it with other users.<p>
|
|
||||||
If you are not familiar with how open source software can be altered and
|
|
||||||
redistributed, please read <a href="copyright.html">this</a>.<p>

|
|
||||||
The mailing list for PgAccess is: <b>pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org</b><p>
|
|
||||||
If you have any questions regarding PgAccess you should subscribe to this
|
|
||||||
list in the following way:<p>
|
|
||||||
First subscribe to the list by sending an email message to:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>pgsql-interfaces-request@postgresql.org</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
Send a single line in the body of the message as follows:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>subscribe</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
In a short time you should receive a message beginning like this:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>Welcome to the pgsql-interfaces mailing list!<br>
|
|
||||||
...</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
This will contain instructions on how to remove yourself from the mailing
|
|
||||||
list, so save that message. You may only want to ask a few questions and then
|
|
||||||
stop receiving messages.<p>
|
|
||||||
You may also email <a href="mailto:teo@flex.ro">Constantin Teodorescu</a>
|
|
||||||
directly, although writing to a mailing list with many correspondents will often
|
|
||||||
produce a quicker answer.<p>

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>a) tcl/tk:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<UL>
|
|
||||||
<P>You must first install tcl and then tk (in that order). I just used
|
|
||||||
./configure, no switches and gmake. Their installation should be trouble
|
|
||||||
free. Then you must move headers and libraries to the right places so:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Header files: both tcl and tk have a header file (tcl.h and tk.h). The
|
|
||||||
tcl.h file is in $tcl_source_dir/generic and the tk.h file is in $tk_source_dir/generic;
|
|
||||||
both should be copied to /usr/local/include.</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Libraries: compilation (with cc) of tcl and tk yield libraries libtcl8.0.a
|
|
||||||
and libtk8.0.a in $source_dir/unix. Both should be copied to /usr/local/lib.</P>
|
|
||||||
</UL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>b) postgreSQL:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<UL>
|
|
||||||
<P>Make sure you have a fully patched postgreSQL source. If your ./configure
|
|
||||||
says it can't load 'IRIX' settings then you most probably will need to
|
|
||||||
patch ./configure.</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Configure using ./configure with the following switches: ./configure
|
|
||||||
--with-includes=/usr/local/include</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-tcl [this and previous line as
|
|
||||||
one]</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Then make, make install as usual</P>
|
|
||||||
</UL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>c) Compiling libpgtcl:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<UL>
|
|
||||||
<P>The source for libpgtcl is in $postgreSQL_directory/src/interfaces/libpgsql.</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>I do this twice. Once with just gmake. This produces a static library
|
|
||||||
libpgtcl.a which I leave where it is (I don't know what to do with it but
|
|
||||||
it may just come in handy). The I modify Makefile manually with a text
|
|
||||||
editor. Essentially I modify two line:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>before:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P># Shared library stuff</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>install-shlib-dep := shlib :=</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>after:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P># Shared library stuff</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>install-shlib-dep := install-shlib shlib := libpgtcl.so.1</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Then gmake -f Makefile_modified. This creates two shared (.so) libraries:
|
|
||||||
libpgtcl.so and libpgtcl.so.1. I can't tell the difference between them
|
|
||||||
so I copied them both to /usr/lib/.</P>
|
|
||||||
</UL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>d) running pgaccess:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<UL>
|
|
||||||
<P>Uncompress pgaccess (usually with gunzip and tar). So long as 'wish'
|
|
||||||
(a binary produced when compiling tk8.0) is somewhere in your path, you
|
|
||||||
should be able to run pgaccess with:</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>wish -f $pgaccess_dir/pgaccess.tcl [postgreSQL_database_name]</P>
|
|
||||||
</UL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>e) et voila!</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P><B>3) Concluding remarks:</B></P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<UL>
|
|
||||||
<P>As I stated at the start of this document, following the procedure indicated
|
|
||||||
above worked for me. I am sure, however, that a few of the steps are unnecessary/non-optimised/stupid
|
|
||||||
etc. If any Unix (IRIX) boffin is reading this and you spot anything you
|
|
||||||
would like to comment/correct etc. please e-mail me (stuart@ludwig.ucl.ac.uk).
|
|
||||||
Also, if you just have questions and think I might help, please contact
|
|
||||||
me at the same e-mail.</P>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Finally, I can accept no responsibility if these steps don't work for
|
|
||||||
you or if it all goes horribly wrong and you 'damage' your computer trying
|
|
||||||
them. Let common sense prevail!</P>
|
|
||||||

<h1>Common Problems with PgAccess</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="connfail"><h2>Connection failure</h2>
|
|
||||||
One of the most common initial problems is the message:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>Error connecting database<br>
|
|
||||||
Connection to database failed<br>
|
|
||||||
connectDB() failed: Is the<br>
|
|
||||||
postmaster running and<br>
|
|
||||||
accepting TCP/IP (with -i)<br>
|
|
||||||
connections at 'localhost' on<br>
|
|
||||||
port '5432'?</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
This usually occurs because the "postmaster" (the postgreSQL backend) was not
|
|
||||||
started with the <samp>-i</samp> option. Usually just adding <samp>-i</samp> to
|
|
||||||
the command line that starts the postmaster and restarting will fix this.
|
|
||||||
<a name="libpg"><h2>libpgtcl not found</h2>
|
|
||||||
PgAccess requires a library of functions named <samp>libpgtcl</samp>. This
|
|
||||||
should be available with the postgreSQL distribution, and is usually placed in
|
|
||||||
the correct location when installing postgreSQL. First check that there is a
|
|
||||||
file named <samp>libpgtcl.so</samp> (perhaps with a number appended - or
|
|
||||||
<samp>libpgtcl.dll</samp> on Windows systems) on your
|
|
||||||
system. If not, you will have to download and perhaps compile this library.<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>ftp://ftp.flex.ro/pub/pgaccess</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
is one place that you can download precompiled libpgtcl libraries for
|
|
||||||
PgAccess.<p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="spchar">
|
|
||||||
<h2>Locale specific characters</h2>
|
|
||||||
This problem occurs with some special characters used in different
|
|
||||||
countries because PgAccess did not use fonts with `-ISO8859-1' encoding.<p>
|
|
||||||
One solution was proposed by H.P.Heidinger ( hph@hphbbs.ruhr.de) and
|
|
||||||
is very simple.<p>
|
|
||||||
If you look in the file pgaccess.tcl, you will find the fonts declared in
|
|
||||||
this manner:<p>
|
|
||||||
<TT>$ grep -e '-font' -i pgaccess.tcl<BR>
|
|
||||||
-font -Adobe-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* \<br>
|
|
||||||
...</TT></P>
|
|
||||||
The font declarations should be altered to:<p>
|
|
||||||
<tt>-font -Adobe-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1<br>
|
|
||||||
...</tt><p>
|
|
||||||
That is, inserting an asterisk between the first pair of hyphens, and changing
|
|
||||||
the final two asterisks to <samp>iso8859</samp> and <samp>1</samp>
|
|
||||||
respectively.<p>
|
|
||||||
You can alter the source code by running the following script :
|
|
||||||
<P><TT>#!/bin/sh<BR>
|
|
||||||
cp pgaccess.tcl pgaccess.tcl-org<BR>
|
|
||||||
cat pgaccess.tcl |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/\-\*\-\*\ /\-iso8859\-1\ /g' |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/\-\*\-\*\}/\-iso8859\-1}/g' |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/\-\*\-\*\]/\-iso8859\-1]/g' |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/\-\*\-\*$/\-iso8859\-1/g' |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/\-Clean\-/\-Fixed\-/g' |\<BR>
|
|
||||||
sed -e's/clean/fixed/g' >pgaccess.iso<BR>
|
|
||||||
mv pgaccess.iso pgaccess.tcl<BR>
|
|
||||||
chmod +x pgaccess.tcl</TT><P>
|
|
||||||
The final version of PgAccess (1.0) will let the user decide what fonts
|
|
||||||
will be used through a "preferences" dialog window.</p>

|
||||||
<h2>Problem with PostgreSQL 6.3.x</h2>
|
|
||||||
PgAccess 0.93 and later may have problems working with PostgreSQL 6.3.x.
|
|
||||||
Changes in libpgtcl have been made to remove these, but if you are
|
|
||||||
using PostgreSQL 6.3.x, this patch will allow you to get around the problems.<p>
|
|
||||||
In the procedure <tt>wpg_exec</tt> change the following line:<p>
|
|
||||||
<tt>set pgsql(errmsg) [pg_result $pgsql(res) -error]</tt><p>
|
|
||||||
to this:<p>
|
|
||||||
<tt>set pgsql(errmsg) "NO ERROR INFORMATION SUPPLIED"</tt><p>
|
|
||||||
and the program will work. The only disadvantage is that with some error
|
|
||||||
conditions, you will not get the appropriate error message from libpgtcl.<p>

<a name="getpga"><h2>How to get PgAccess</h2>
|
|
||||||
If you have this HTML help system, you have probably already downloaded
|
|
||||||
PgAccess. If not, or you wish to download the latest version, it is available
|
|
||||||
from the URL:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>http://www.flex.ro</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
The home page will contain instructions on which files to download for your
|
|
||||||
operating system. Download the file to a directory where the program will
|
|
||||||
eventually reside (see below).<p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="uncpga"><h2>How to uncompress PgAccess</h2>
|
|
||||||
PgAccess, like most applications available for download, is usually downloaded
|
|
||||||
in compressed format to save download time. You must uncompress these files in
|
|
||||||
order to use the application.<p>
|
|
||||||
<h3>UNIX (Linux, BSD, IRIX, Solaris, etc.)</h3>
|
|
||||||
The files will be compressed using "gzip" and packaged using "tar", and have
|
|
||||||
filenames like this:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>pgaccess-n.nn.tar.gz</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
Note that "n.nn" will be the version number in an actual file.<p>
|
|
||||||
First decide where you want to have the program. A typical location on UNIX
|
|
||||||
systems is <samp>/usr/local/src/<name></samp>, where <name> is the name of
|
|
||||||
the program. To use this location, download or move the "tar.gz" file to the
|
|
||||||
directory <samp>/usr/local/src</samp>. Change to that directory, and
|
|
||||||
uncompress the file with the command:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>tar -zxvf pgaccess-n.nn.tar.gz</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
You should see the files listed as they are uncompressed and placed in the new
|
|
||||||
directory, and now have a directory named:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>/usr/local/src/pgaccess</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
In that directory will be all of the files that were packaged in the downloaded
|
|
||||||
file. When you have PgAccess working, you can delete the file with the ".tar"
|
|
||||||
or ".tar.gz" extension.
|
|
||||||
<h3>Windows</h3>
|
|
||||||
The files will be compressed so that "WinZip" will uncompress the package. Just

<a name="putpga"><h2>Putting PgAccess where it will be found</h2>
|
|
||||||
<h3>UNIX</h3>
|
|
||||||
In order to run PgAccess easily, the program file "pgaccess.tcl" should be in a
|
|
||||||
location on the "PATH" of the system. You can find out what the PATH is by
|
|
||||||
entering:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>echo $PATH<br>
|
|
||||||
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:./:/usr/local/pgsql/bin
|
|
||||||
</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
Usually the directory <samp>/usr/local/bin</samp> will be in your PATH, and that
|
|
||||||
is a fairly common place to put programs like PgAccess. Other common
|
|
||||||
directories in the PATH are <samp>/usr/bin</samp> and <samp>/usr/sbin</samp>.
|
|
||||||
Simply move the file "pgaccess.tcl" to the directory where you want it.<p>
|
|
||||||
<h3>Windows</h3>
|
|
||||||
You will usually link PgAccess to an icon, so just specify the full path to the
|
|
||||||
program when you create the icon.
|
|
||||||
<a name=startpga"><h2>Starting PgAccess</h2>
|
|
||||||
The easiest way to start PgAccess is to simply invoke the program by name:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>pgaccess.tcl</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
If the program has been placed in a directory listed in the PATH, the PgAccess
|
|
||||||
window should appear.<p>
|
|
||||||
<h3>Starting from a menu</h3>
|
|
||||||
Most users will want to link the program to a menu or icon so that it can be
|
|
||||||
started using the mouse or other pointing device. Here is a method that will
|
|
||||||
work on most Linux X-Windows systems. Create a file named "pgaccess" in the directory
|
|
||||||
<samp>/etc/X11/wmconfig</samp> with the following contents:<p>
|
|
||||||
<samp>pgaccess name "PgAccess"<br>
|
|
||||||
pgaccess description "postgreSQL frontend"<br>
|
|
||||||
pgaccess mini-icon "mini-pgaccess.xpm"<br>
|
|
||||||
pgaccess group "Applications"<br>
|
|
||||||
pgaccess exec "pgaccess.tcl &"</samp><p>
|
|
||||||
This assumes that you have an "Applications" sub-menu. You may prefer
|
|
||||||
"Programs" or some other place. Also, you will have to create the
|
|
||||||
"mini-pgaccess.xpm" icon if you want it to appear. You can edit an existing
|
|
||||||
icon from the <samp>/usr/share/icons/mini</samp> directory in XPaint and rename
|
|
||||||
it. When you next start an X-Windows session, there should be a "PgAccess" item
|
|
||||||
on the menu that you have chosen. Clicking on this item should start
|
|
||||||
PgAccess.<p>
