Accessing and Viewing Data in pgAdmin

pgAdmin's Visual Query Tool

pgAdmin provides a visual query tool for executing SQL queries and viewing their results. However, this tool is primarily useful for working with queries.

Modifying Data in pgAdmin

Using the Context Menu

To view or modify data in pgAdmin, right-click on a table or view name in the Object Explorer. In the context menu that opens, select the "View/Edit Data" option.

Table Viewers

MySQL and PostgreSQL display tables in different ways:

• MySQL: Lists tables for the current database.
• PostgreSQL: Lists tables for the current database and allows you to browse and edit data.

Database Diagrams

pgAdmin also allows you to generate database diagrams for existing databases. To do this, drag and drop tables from the Object Explorer onto the diagram. You can create multiple copies of the diagram as needed.

Conclusion

By using the View/Edit Data menu and the database diagram features in pgAdmin, you can easily access, view, and modify data in your databases without the need for an external program.
