Re: subversion support?

I could use psql instead of pgAdmin then which isn't what I want.

Having used Quest software SQL Navigator since 97 for Oracle and then
migrated to Toad for Oracle which both products have integration to source
control, it is hard to revert back to a command line or text file solution.

pgAdmin should graphically show differences between the committed version
and the database.

It should allow me to click a button in the tool and commit it to the
repository.

It should allow me to revert back to a previous version and the tool take
care of restoring the function automatically.

It should show history and let me see the differences.

In other words, take Tortoise and merge that product into pgAdmin so I have
one product instead of two.

You could setup a subversion commit hook to export the functions to the
database.

Then you adjust your development mentality to:

1) Edit the files on the disk
2) Commit to Subversion

Then the hook takes over and runs the drop/create automatically, you
could even have it email the developer if the create failed.
