Looks nice... What does this have that phppgadmin doesn't? I take it that this is a commercial project?


Thanks for the positive comment.

Good question, phppgadmin is the main competition and also the inspiration.

First of all, TeamPostgreSQL is team-oriented. This is expressed both in terms of features (ability to share SQL snippets and scripts - "hey Joe, go run the 'get latest orders' query on preproduction1") and in terms of user interface design (friendly and responsive versus heavy and complex).

This is the key to positioning it as a team platform, the fact that non-techies such as testers and support staff will feel perfectly comfortable peeking and poking the database.

Other than that we believe it is an overall incremental improvement over phppgadmin in the areas where they overlap, f.ex. with a 100% AJAX interface and a lot of productivity features such as 'quick query' (type a phrase, f.ex. a customer id and hit enter, it searches every row of every table in the database).

We hope that this will be attractive enough that people will pay for it (so yes, commercial project).

I'd love to hear your honest opinion: Is this enticing? Would you consider it over phppgadmin?
