pgAdmin – How to Jump to a Given Line Number

The most up-to-date version is always available with the most-up-to date version of postgres. So the coming 1.14 of pgAdmin support 9.1 with it's features, 1.12 -> 9.0, 1.10 -> >8.4. I noticed that pgAdmin will disable (or disallow you to use) certain features that do not support your installed pg version.

Sidenote: I made bad experiences with using the build-in backup/restore tools from pgAdmin (on Linux), no idea why this wasn't working but one machine just wasn't able to import a backup made by another one with same version, specs,... Had this issue many times, so I always prefer the command line export/import. The latter has never failed and offers more options for exporting and importing.

pgadmin has it's own reverse-engineering functionality - it just examines the system tables like pg_class and pg_attribute to find the details.

If what you're looking for is actually an easy way to show the CREATE statements for your objects that you can use from something else, you should look at pg_dump instead of pgadmin, it is much simpler. In particular, if you just want to look at it for one or more object, you can use pg_dump -s -t tablename and it will give you the required CREATE statements.
