good postgresql client for windows?

Viewed 147059

coming back to postgresql after several years of oracle ...

what are the state-of-the art postgresql administrative/ddl generating/data inserting frontends on windows? it would be nice if it had integration for postgis as well. it should be standalone or alternatively a plugin for intellij idea

thinking back, all the windows programs specific for postgresql i have used were crap, especially PGAdmin. had it become better?

do you mean something like pgAdmin for administration?

I like Postgresql Maestro. I also use their version for MySql. I'm pretty statisfied with their product. Or you can use the free tool PgAdmin.

Actually there is a freeware version of EMS's SQL Manager which is quite powerful

For anyone looking for a web-enabled client for Postgres, I'll just put the link out here to TeamPostgreSQL, a very polished AJAX web client for pg:

EMS's SQL Manager is much easier to use and has many more features than either phpPgAdmin or PG Admin III. However, it's windows only and you have to pay for it.

SQLExplorer is a great Eclipse plugin or standalone interface that works with many different database systems, either with dedicated drivers or with ODBC.

phpPgAdmin is PostgreSQL web frontend which is quite good.
