09.273.2016 - pgAdmin 4 v1.0 Released!

The pgAdmin Development Team are pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin 4 version 1.0.

pgAdmin is the leading Open Source management and administration tool for PostgreSQL.

pgAdmin 4 is a complete rewrite of pgAdmin, built using Python and Javascript/jQuery. A desktop runtime written in C++ with Qt allows it to run standalone for individual users, or the web application code may be deployed directly on a webserver for use by one or more users through their web browser. The software has the look and feel of a desktop application whatever the runtime environment, and vastly improves on pgAdmin III with updated user interface elements, multi-user/web deployment options, dashboards and a more modern design.

The application was designed as a pluggable framework that can easily be extended with plugin modules to provide additional functionality to support other software in the PostgreSQL ecosystem, or functionality of forks of PostgreSQL.

pgAdmin 4 is also bundled in the PostgreSQL 9.6 installers from EDB at:

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the design, implementation, testing and documentation of pgAdmin 4, estimated at well over 10,000 hours of effort over the last year. For more information about the project, please see the blog post at:

Finally, I'd like to thank the management at EDB for supporting this project and allowing me to enlist the efforts of over 15 employees from multiple teams. Without their support pgAdmin 4 would not exist today.
