## A Note About Updates to pgAdmin
## Important Updates to pgAdmin
In the book, we write SQL queries and manage our PostgreSQL databases with [pgAdmin](https://pgadmin.org), a free and open source graphical user interface. pgAdmin is under continuous development, and its current interface may differ from the screenshots and instructions in the book. Please check [the book FAQ](https://github.com/anthonydb/practical-sql-2/blob/master/faq-updates-errata.md) for updates.

### pgAdmin Updates
### Important pgAdmin 4 Version 9 Update!
Version 9 notes coming with February 2025 release of pgAdmin.
Version 9 of pgAdmin 4, released in February 2025, introduces a new default "workspace" layout that is substantially different from the layout of the tool shown in the book. It's also, in my opinion, less intuitive. Fortunately, it's possible to set the app's layout to the "classic" design shown in the book. To do that:
1. Launch pgAdmin
2. On macOS, select the `pgAdmin` menu, then `Settings`. On Windows, select the `File` menu, then `Preferences`.
3. In the Preferences dialog, navigate to `Miscellaneous` and click `User interface`.
4. Under `Layout`, choose `Classic`. You can also choose a light or dark theme here.
5. Click `Save`.
Please see additional pgAdmin updates in the chapter sections below.
