Hi,
is it possible to hide the databases where I am not the owner?

In our university we have many postgresql user.

Each user has his own database.
When I start pgAdmin all databases are displayed.
Is there a button to avoid showing these databases?


Ok,

Dave and me have been discussing a little about this request,
and we'll probably implement a configurable SQL restriction for that in
1.5/1.6. Your requirement seems typical for universities, let's declare
this as my contribution to the Deutsches Bildungssystem! Greetings to
the Geomatikum, where I spent quite some sleepy mornings in lectures, I
remember... Regards,
Andreas



Has there been any update on this?

Yes - you can hide databases and schemas in 1.6 (currently in beta). You
reminded me so I've added the following note to the docs (the server
properties page to be exact):

The DB restriction field allows you to enter an SQL restriction that
will be used against the pg_database
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/dpage/My%20Documents/SVN/pgadmin3
/docs/en_US/pg/catalog-pg-database.html> table to limit the databases
that you see. For example, you might enter: datname IN ('live_db',
'test_db') so that only live_db and test_db are shown in the pgAdmin
browser. Note that you can also limit the schemas shown in the database
from the Database properties dialogue by entering a restriction against
pg_namespace
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/dpage/My%20Documents/SVN/pgadmin3
/docs/en_US/pg/catalog-pg-namespace.html> .
