Ideas & Possible Projects

So with 8.3.1 about to be released, and with that, we will begin bundling the Druware Automator actions in the distribution (Donationware, to be made open source once a certain level of donations are made). We've been batting around a few other ideas that embrace the Mac platform technologies.

Dashboard 

pgQuerylet - a Dashboard widget that implements a simple adhoc query / result window to a preselected server and database.

pgReportlet - a Dashboard widget that runs and displays the results to a predefined query and server showing only the results each time the widget is displayed.

Spotlight

Example code that implements an application 'viewer' and a spotlight importer that would allow spotlight to index specific columns entities in a PostgreSQL database and quickly retrieve them in the viewer.

Xgrid

Example code that implement an analysis tool that uses PostgreSQL data with a small client that performs the data analysis, allowing smaller businesses to leverage their idle Mac's as added analysis tools.

CoreData

Example code to demonstrate how to pull an offline cache to CoreData from PostgreSQL and later sync the data.

Other

pgPerformance Screen Saver - a screen saver that when active, monitors the database performance and bahaviour and displays the information on screen in a simple but changing display of the system performance and connections.  A quick 'performance at a glance' overview of how the server is behaving.
