I was testing on XP. In further testing, I find that a restore using the 'clean' option (new in SVN trunk) for some reason doesn't lock up the UI as other restores do (which are blocking whilst trying to read from the pg_restore stderr/stdout streams) . I cannot see any clear reason for this behaviour. A 'real' fix would probably involve firing off ExternProcessDialog::checkStreams() from a separate thread, rather than a timer in the main thread, though it would be nice to understand why it blocks in some cases but not others. Anyone with time to try that? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
