So you are saying the UK does not have cable or DSL based broadband?
No he is saying that they are metered.
Anyway, if in general you where using a slow connection such as a 56k
line wouldn't it make a lot of sense to work on a local copy of the
database?
Sure it would make more sense, but that isn't always an option. I have
employees all over the world.. When they work on our databases (we don't
actually use pgAdminIII but the rules still apply) they have to work
remotely.
All I can say is that if you are used to working with the tools that
come with commercial DBs they do not behave anything like pgAdmin III
and you end up cursing everything about
pgAdmin III. If you are not used to anything else pgAdmin III is great
and thats because you don't know what you are missing.
Well that can be said of any type of software ;)
