|
| <p>Before you can use the pgAdmin client to manage the objects that reside on your
|
| Postgres server, you must define a connection to the server. You can
|
| (optionally) use the <em>Server Group</em> dialog to create server groups to organize
|
| the server connections within the tree control for easier management. To open
|
| the <em>Server Group</em> dialog, right-click on the <em>Servers</em> node of the tree
|
| control, and select <em>Server Group</em> from the <em>Create</em> menu.</p>

|
| </ul>
|
| </div>
|
| <p>Use the fields on the <em>Server</em> dialog to define the connection properties for
|
| each new server that you wish to manage with pgAdmin. To open the <em>Server</em>
|
| dialog, right-click on the <em>Servers</em> node of the tree control, and select
|
| <em>Server</em> from the <em>Register</em> menu.</p>

|
| PostgreSQL instance in the cloud, and connect to it.</p>
