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. An item is marked with a '-' if it has been completed. Users ----- * 7.3 user variables (eg. ALTER USER SET .. TO ...) Groups ------ * -Alter group (chriskl) Permissions ----------- * Grant ... on all tables, views, ... to user, group, public Databases --------- * -Fix failure to drop database even tho seemingly no-one is connected to it (chriskl, bryan) * Add alter database for 7.3+ * -Dump database using pg_dump streaming (chriskl) Tables ------ * -Not using proper attFields array for attribute info (i was being lazy) (wontfix) * -Rename table * -Change table owner * -Cluster support * Vacuum & analyze (half done) * -ORDER BY in Select function (can do so after the fact now - chriskl) * -Unify Select and Browse functions (chriskl) * Add option for showing table size counts Views ----- * Display, add, edit and drop rules on views Sequences --------- * CACHE and CYCLE options in sequence creation Functions --------- * Browse function (set-returning-functions only) * Syntax highlighting? Indexes ------- * -Partial indexes (chriskl) * Functional indexes Types ----- * Support new 7.3 anonymous composite types Operators --------- * -Properties (chriskl) * -Drop (chriskl) * Create Operator Classes ---------------- * Unimplemented Triggers -------- * -Alter trigger (7.3+) (eg. rename trigger) (chriskl) Aggregates ---------- * Unimplemented Languages --------- * -Display (chriskl) * Drop * Create Domains (7.3) ------------- * Done Conversions (7.3) ----------------- * -Display (chriskl) * Properties * Drop * Create Casts (7.3) ----------- * -Display (chriskl) * Properties * Drop * Create Settings -------- * -Postgres 7.3 returns SHOW ALL as a proper result set - makes it easy to do a phpMyAdmin style 'view settings'. Miscellaneous ------------- * Allow simultaneous logins to different clusters (mark gibson) * Show comments for all objects * Allow setting/dropping comments for all objects * Show owner for all objects * Allow changing owner for objects that have this feature (7.4+ generally) * -Config option to disallow pgsql and postgres logins * Do David Smith's redireect idea to prevent refresh login resending password * Translated FAQ Exotic ------ * Support contrib/tsearch2 for easy full text indexes * -Search for object feature (chriskl) * Pivot reports (ADODB has a feature for this) * Parameratised 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 4.2 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 7.0 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 BaseDB, whereas something that works for 7.1+ should be in the 7.1 class. This will minimise bugs and duplicated code. * Adhere to current coding standards * Avoid using global variables if possible
