Have looked far and wide
and haven't found one yet. Have tried
Navicat, DbWrench, EDb-win32, PGAdmin III, and several others. All
pretty much allow table creation and i can link my two tables and some
even allow queries but when i run the query, all i get is the first
row. But the supposedly the automatic ID is not inserted and even
though i can insert data into the first row, the ID must be inserted by
hand. Don't know what to do. Am waiting on OpenOffice to upgrade
their driver or whatever it is they need to upgrade in order to create
linked queries which are able to not only select but update the db as
well.
Any ideas?
A little background... i've been looking for more than a year now and
want
something which is multiuser bec. there are about 15 of us in our
child development department office. We put an Access db together
ourselves which serves our needs pretty nicely but our IT Dept. wants us
go out and buy another program bec. Access chokes or coughs at least a
couple of times a week and they say it's bec. we have too many users
trying to
access it at once (15 is too many?). Our db only holds about 1500
records and we've maybe got 3 linked tables. It's pretty simple but we
were able to put it together ourselves and have been able to convert
all our old paper forms to Access and make up all of the reports the
state and county need. We figure if we can find a way to use
PostgreSQL by ourselves and port? over most of the tables and at least
some of the forms and reports to begin with, we could convince our IT
dept. and our
boss not to spend the taxpayers money on another propietary db. Besides
the new one they are thinking about buying cannot be modified by us.
None of us are programmers. We work with the public. We've gotten as
far as being able to download and install PostgreSQL and have been able
to set up the server? and have created a couple of tables and linked
them. That's it. Who
knows, maybe one of these days we can even convince them to use a real
OS like Linux which would save even more. Well, here goes. Have a
great day! :)
