Extended functions
pgAdmin III can display some more detailed data, if the server is
instrumentized using the admin module for PostgreSQL 8.x. This will
contain helper functions. The admin module is available at this place. For Windows, the installer
includes the module and will install it automatically unless it is deselected.
If the functions are loaded on a server, the
following functions will be available:
-
The sizes on disk of tablespaces, databases, tables and indexes are
displayed on the Statistics tab in the main window.
-
The Status dialogue will have the logfile
tab and can display the server logfile if it is configured.
-
The Rotation button on the Status dialogue
logfile tab will not get enabled on 8.0 servers, because the needed
support functions were not implemented. If you need triggering the
server logfile rotation, please contact us.
