Hello Fellow Codenewbies 👋,
Prologue
We just installed PostgreSQL 12 on our Windows 10.
Now we can use pgAdmin 4 – the graphical tool with the installer package for managing and developing our database.
Starting pgAdmin 4
- Click the start menu
- Go to PostgreSQL
- Select and click pgAdmin4
It then asks us to create a master password.
The master password is required to unlock saved passwords and reconnect to the database server(s).
Create the password, and then we're good to go.
Upgrading pgAdmin 4
I got the case where the PostgreSQL 12 installer comes with pgAdmin 4 version 4.21 while the latest version is 4.23.
In this post, we will upgrade it to the latest version.
Installation Steps
-
Go to uninstall PostgreSQL.
We can find the uninstall application by going to the directory where PostgreSQL 12 is installed on our machine.
- Select uninstall "individual components" and select only the pgAdmin 4 to uninstall the older version.
-
Download the latest version of pgAdmin 4 here and start the installation.
It will first prompt us to a dialog where we can select the installation folder.
By default, it will offer us to install pgAdmin 4 in C:\Program Files (x86).
We want to install it in the same directory as our PostgreSQL 12 to replace the older version.
- Browse and select the directory where PostgreSQL 12 is installed
- Select the version subfolder to install pgAdmin 4
- Click next to create pgAdmin 4 shortcuts in Start Menu
- Select the PostgreSQL 12 folder, then click OK and install
And there, now we have the latest version of pgAdmin 4 😃
Thank you for reading!
