pgEdit public beta for Macintosh and Windows

[John DeSoi <desoi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The first public beta for pgEdit is now available (see product 
description below). If you would like to participate in the beta 
program, evaluate the software and send some feedback to me (e.g. 
criticism, bug reports, feature requests). The first responders will 
receive a 30 day trial registration key to remove demonstration mode 
restrictions. A limited number of registration keys will be 
distributed, so respond soon if you would like to receive a 
registration key. If you don't respond right away, quality feedback is 
another way to get a registration key :).

Thanks for your help!

Power Tools for PostgreSQL

=====
pgEdit is a high performance SQL editor and development environment 
designed specifically for PostgreSQL relational databases. pgEdit 
features include:

* SQL Syntax coloring specifically designed for PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL represents function bodies as single quoted strings which 
most editors render with a single color. pgEdit promotes better 
usability and correctness by using SQL syntax coloring within the body 
of function strings. Keyword coloring is based directly on the source 
code of PostgreSQL.


* SQL source code execution without saving the file or switching 
applications

pgEdit can execute the SQL source code for (1) the entire buffer, (2) 
the highlighted region, (3) the current SQL containing the cursor, or 
(4) the current SQL line to the end of the file buffer.


* Direct integration with psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal

In addition to SQL, almost all psql commands are supported. This 
provides a powerful facility for examining, designing, and managing 
databases.


* Extensive and customizable editing facilities

pgEdit is a full featured text editor with hundreds of commands 
available. A friendly interface is included to provide online 
documentation and customize the key bindings for any command. Menu 
shortcuts can also be customized. pgEdit supports traditional Macintosh 
and Windows editing features, as well as Emacs-style key bindings.


* Integrated documentation

Help in pgEdit is provided with context sensitive links to the online 
documentation displayed in your preferred web browser. The PostgreSQL 
documentation is also included with direct links to important sections 
provided in the pgEditHelp menu. The documentation for the SQL command 
nearest to the cursor can be retrieved by pressing a user configurable 
key sequence.


* Cross platform and easy to install

pgEdit is a native application for both Macintosh and Windows. It does 
not use Java or require installation of external libraries. You have 
the option of using the version of psql included with pgEdit or a 
different version installed anywhere on your hard drive.
