Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

The asking price for pgEdit automatically puts this in the skeptic's "maybe later" bucket for me. phpPgAdmin, without syntax coloring, is free by comparison, and does enough (a mere fraction of the functions implemented in phpMyAdmin for MySQL, granted, but still signifantly usable). Syntax coloring is neat, I suppose, but the whole point of writing a database client is to automate SQL generation so mere humans don't have to do it. Especially in clients that work across platforms, such as Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL, each of which share quirky, picayune little differences in comma placements, etc., that make $64, $89 or $150 or even $1500 worth the price, depending on the day's aggravation level.
