Integrate with VTable

Open fangsmile opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

It is expected that VTable can be integrated, and VTable table library has a strong visual display ability! You can be viewed on the official website:https://visactor.io/vtable img_v3_029n_c20f8bf0-914d-480e-9369-9541ff50bc7g

@fangsmile Where in pgAdmin should it be integrated?

Here are some potential applications and extensions where VTable could be beneficial for PgAdmin4:

Data Grid Views: PgAdmin could enhance its data editing capabilities with VTable by providing a more efficient data grid view, allowing users to browse and edit large datasets more quickly.

Query Result Presentation: VTable could be utilized to optimize the display of query results, especially when dealing with large datasets, offering smoother scrolling and rendering performance.

Multidimensional Data Analysis: If PgAdmin needs to support more complex data analysis features, VTable could be used to present multidimensional data, offering richer pivot tables and analytical charts.

Custom Reporting: PgAdmin could allow users to create custom report views using VTable, which could include data summaries, charts, and other visualization elements.

Performance Monitoring: PgAdmin could use VTable to display database performance monitoring data, such as query statistics and index usage.

Plugin System Extension: PgAdmin could develop a plugin system that allows third-party developers to create custom views and tools using VTable, further extending PgAdmin's capabilities.

Frontend Development: If PgAdmin is considering a frontend overhaul, VTable could be part of the frontend development, providing a modern user experience.

Data Import/Export: VTable could be used to improve the interface for data import and export, offering more intuitive preview and editing functions.

Real-time Data Updates: For applications requiring real-time data updates, VTable could provide a more efficient data update mechanism. @adityatoshniwal

Here are some potential applications and extensions where VTable could be beneficial for PgAdmin4:

Data Grid Views: PgAdmin could enhance its data editing capabilities with VTable by providing a more efficient data grid view, allowing users to browse and edit large datasets more quickly.

We already use react-data-grid which uses virtualization to efficiency.

Query Result Presentation: VTable could be utilized to optimize the display of query results, especially when dealing with large datasets, offering smoother scrolling and rendering performance.

react-data-grid has the same benefits.

Multidimensional Data Analysis: If PgAdmin needs to support more complex data analysis features, VTable could be used to present multidimensional data, offering richer pivot tables and analytical charts.

We do have graph visualiser which I guess is sufficient considering the scope of pgAdmin.

Custom Reporting: PgAdmin could allow users to create custom report views using VTable, which could include data summaries, charts, and other visualization elements.

This is good for a reporting/analytics tool. However, patches are welcome.

Performance Monitoring: PgAdmin could use VTable to display database performance monitoring data, such as query statistics and index usage.

Again, this is not something which pgAdmin team has resources to work on. However, patches are welcome.

Plugin System Extension: PgAdmin could develop a plugin system that allows third-party developers to create custom views and tools using VTable, further extending PgAdmin's capabilities.

Frontend Development: If PgAdmin is considering a frontend overhaul, VTable could be part of the frontend development, providing a modern user experience.

Real-time Data Updates: For applications requiring real-time data updates, VTable could provide a more efficient data update mechanism. @adityatoshniwal

Most of the points mentioned above are kind of pointing to the same thing. I have no doubt that VTable is an excellent library. But I'm not sure if it is ready to be used in pgAdmin. For example, I didn't find a good example of editable grid.

Any example of custom editors? We have more complex editors in pgAdmin
