Why not have it be an option as to how it loads table info? I've also
been looking for a decent GUI interface for postgres, but the knowledge
that
pgadmin III will want to load all of my table data every time I use the
app is definitely prohibitive for me as our db here at work is huge.
And, seriously,
are we still living at a time when connection speed should be considered
a deciding design factor? Yes, some people still work off of slow
connections,
but the vast majority of us who work in a professional environment most
definitely do not.
