We build TeamPostgreSQL with GWT. It is a PostgreSQL web administration package. Feel free to to take a look:

http://www.teampostgresql.com

The download package comes with a bundled sample database, so you can take it for a spin too. Feedback welcome.



I have some feedback:

- I was totally confused how to launch this - I couldn't discern any benefit of this over phpPgAdmin minus the nicely done interface - I couldn't discern any benefit of this over Aqua Data Studio, NaviCat, et al. sans pricing.

I'm really curious why you chose to do this as a web app. If the benefit is to give "managers" and others access to the database to run reporting, where is the graphing, pivot table, etc support? If it's to give other developers access, your desktop counterparts (specifically Aqua Data Studio) provide tools you are lacking (code completion, diagramming). Granted there is a sizable price difference, which could be a selling point, but again phpPgAdmin does all that you do and is free and extensible because it's OSS.


The screenshots are too few and show too little. I get the impression of a very simple "me too" app that can do very little and provides no benefit over the cmd line. At least a screenshot for every bullet point in the details, and show how you handle corner cases such as columns with 10K text.

Ditto jawngee suggestion about creating "end user" pages with standard reports (e.g. graphs using http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeplot/). Allow me to let users view them without logging in. That is what cmd line can't do.


Thanks for the feedback, it is valuable. I will make sure we take a long hard look at the points you mentioned.

The product is still a few features away from being ready for the public launch, the value proposition should be more apparent when we get there.
