+
+
+ Execute .
+
+
+
+
+ Saves preferences in ~/.pgaccessrc file.

+
+
+ Dynamically adjust row height when editing.
+
+
+
+
+ Save table layout for every table.
+
+
+
+
+ Import/export to external files (SDF,CSV).
+
+
+
+
+ Use filter capabilities; enter filter like price>3.14.

+
+ Rename and delete (drop) tables.
+
+
+
+
+ Retrieve information on tables, including owner, field information, indices.
+
+
+
+
+
+ For queries,
pgaccess can:
+

+
+
+
+
+ View any select query result.
+
+
+
+
+ Run action queries (insert, update, delete).
+
+
+
+
+ Construct queries using a visual query builder
+ with drag & drop support, table aliasing.

SELECT will return rows from one or more tables.
Candidates for selection are rows which satisfy the WHERE condition;
if WHERE is omitted, all rows are candidates.

The GROUP BY clause allows a user to divide a table
conceptually into groups.
