Connecting To Advanced Servers Using pgAdmin 4 Client v11

pgAdmin 4 includes an interactive graphical interface for managing the database and database objects. Simple dialogues and online tools make tasks like object creation, role management, and granting or revoking privileges easier. The tabbed browser panel allows quick access to information about the object currently viewed in the pgAdmin tree control.

Now let’s look at the steps for connecting to advanced servers using pgAdmin.

1. Firstly, select pgAdmin4 from the EDB Postgres menu to launch pgAdmin. The client will now launch in the default browser.
2. Expand the Servers node of the Browser tree control and right-click on the EDB Postgres Advanced Server node to connect to the Advanced Server database server.
3. Select Connect Server from the context menu that appears. The Connect to Server dialogue box now appears.
4. In the Password field, enter the password for the database superuser, and then click OK to connect.

When a client connects, we can use the Browser tree control to retrieve information about existing database objects or to create new ones.
