Re: pgadmin3 on macOS "Mojave"

Doug,

Agreed. I've looked for BigSQL's build of pgAdmin3 on their web site but
have only found it bundled with their installer, which would be fine if it
allowed you to deselect BigSQL itself. How are you installing it? Could you
kindly provide a link to the correct page of their site?
