Re: pgadmin4 - Use classic style interface, don't launch browser?

Dave,

That's true. Of course that's the ultimate draw back of the client/server
model. Having *just* a server isn't enough, you need a *client* as well.
pgAdmin4 is *just* the server portion of that model. It's relying on
*borrowing* someone else's client. That's frees up quite a bit of
resources, not having to write an actual client. Unfortunately that means
you have to deal with all of the limitations; speed, footprint,
compatibility, security, capabilities that that entails. Contrary to the
thought in some circles, not *everything* is amenable to being served
through a web browser.

just one man's opinion.
