We make a similar thing: http://www.teampostgresql.com

AJAX/JavaScript powered rich web GUI for PostgreSQL. Looks like this took some inspiration from us too (which is great). TeamPostgreSQL is a side-project but pretty mature, having been around since 2010.



It seems it only works with Java 6 (at least according to the Mac installer), which is too bad, because I don't want yet another version of Java on my machines.

Is the source code publicly available?


I believe the installer packages bundle a JRE (which runs in isolation from your other Java installations) so that shouldn't be a problem.

Only the cross-platform archive assumes you have a Java (6+) installed. Off the top of my head I can't remember if backporting to 5 would be a possibility but considering that Java 5 is almost ten years old, it may be too much effort to be worth it.

The source code isn't public anymore than my dirty underwear is :) Seriously though, I might open source it if I thought anyone would be able to get anything out of it.


I downloaded the Mac version, ran the installer, and it immediately said it required Java 1.6 and launched a JRE 6 install.

    $ java -version
    java version "1.7.0_25"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)


Thank you, I will look into it. Note that you can still run the cross-platform version if you want to try it.


Which one is the Mac version? Usability fail.


There's a dropdown ('Select download') with four options, one of which says 'Mac OSX Installer'. Can you explain what makes it unclear? Thanks in advance!


I see three download options, one for zip, one for tar.gz, and one for tar.bz. Mac installers are usually bundled in .dmg archives, or .pkg.


Ah, you are talking about the OP's site - this subthread was discussing TeamPostgreSQL: http://www.teampostgresql.com/download.jsp


I use TeamPostgresSQL daily. PostgreSQL studio looks nice as well, haven't downloaded it yet.

Are you still actively developing TeamPG? It's pretty complete, but if it was open I'd chip in!


Yes, it is still being actively developed, at a slowish rate depending on how many other projects are going on at the same time. We release a new build around every two-three weeks, with minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Releasing the source is no big deal, but I would have to spend some time wrapping it up nicely to make it accessible to outsiders.
