All READMEs in English, all code in Portuguese? Really?

mariusmg2• 14 years ago

I'd never understood while people code in their native language. It's just so.....wrong.

fhars• 14 years ago

So, which language should American programmers use in their code?

route66• 14 years ago

I'll help you.

Develop an application for support of financial and tax regulations for a certain country. You will have verbs and nouns which describe the situation clearly.

You develop an application from specifications written another language than English. They exist.

The biggest failure I keep seeing are futile attempts to translate concepts under these circumstances into English.

I agree in this case: when you want to invite collaboration on github, English (or Chinese?) would be better suited.

dserodio2• 14 years ago

Ever heard of Domain Driven Design? Your customer's problem domain is best expressed in their native language.

But for Open Source projects coding in English is probably the best way to attract contributors.

Most people don't speak English in Brazil, or do so very poorly.

nealabq• 14 years ago

Same situation in the USA.

rcamera• 14 years ago

I might fork it later tonight and translate both code and comments to English. Might be an interesting experience...

Will update here later with an English fork.

It all compiled ok, but didn't seem to create the executable in the build/ folder..

Note the warning from the README:

"Although this is a major upgrade version of pgModeler it is recommended NOT EXPORT the models created directly to production environments. Not all possible code generation were tested in this way, is its your own risk export the models into environments that are not intended for testing. The project's author is not responsible for any possible loss of data due the inappropriate use of this tool."

After all there aren't many high quality opensource RDBMS GUIs available. The only one I know is pgAdmin and even pgAdmin has some serious bugs. (GUI freezes easily when you have many windows open and/or do large queries; import/export barely work)

The only code I would trust is the code I generate myself... ;)

DbVisualizer (http://www.dbvis.com/) is an excellent cross-platform, multi-product GUI tool. Doesn't have many design tools (well not any really, but neither does PgAdmin). Java-based and not free, which gives freeloaders and snobs something to complain about. No relationship, just someone who has been happy to be a customer for many years.

I dunno about you, but it's pretty clear that the code I generate myself is the last code I would trust.

HeidiSQL [1] is pretty good for most tasks. Although, it doesn't have an easy GUI for building databases.

Looks like standard disclaimer to me.

What open source project would be bold enough to say he will be responsible for all loss due to using his tool.

> What open source project would be bold enough to say he will be responsible for all loss due to using his tool.

How many proprietary products would? Last time I checked a very popular one prohibited customers from even publishing their own benchmarks...

CaptainZapp• 14 years ago

Frankly, Even with tools costing thousands of Euros it would be incredible stupid to export models, or generated code into production environment.

mgummelt2• 14 years ago

Why?

garindra• 14 years ago

For the people that have already tried it, is this finally a good Postgres client for the MacOSX? Haven't found any that comes close to Sequel Pro for MySQL.

artiom• 14 years ago

its not Sequel Pro but you can try http://inductionapp.com

dmishe• 14 years ago

It's a great app, but for different purpose. Induction is mainly for viewing/analyzing _data_, where pgAdmin, while horrible looking, is for managing database schema.

davyjones• 14 years ago

My understanding is that this is not exactly a GUI client.

You can give pgXplorer (http://pgxplorer.com) a shot which is open source and the binaries are readily available. Disclaimer: I am the lead dev of pgXplorer.

epo2• 14 years ago

See my link for DbVisualizer.

mhurron• 14 years ago

What's wrong with PgAdmin?

No, I don't count 'not looking native' as a problem.

agildehaus• 14 years ago

The good news is that the Sequel Pro guys have started to work on their Postgres framework:

I've had a good experience with Tuple: http://www.tuplesapp.com/

Mountain Lion compilation is broken. OS not supported.

dserodio2• 14 years ago

Thanks for the heads-up so I don't waste time trying to build it. Did you file an issue on their Github?

ericcholis3• 14 years ago

Random thought, this is a pretty decent example of using Bootstrap out of the box. I can tell it's Bootstrap, but the splash logo draws me in.
