Postgres PgAdmin III Query Builder crash I've been using Postgres and pgAdmin III for some years, but this morning I had a very BIG BIG problem.
I'm using pgAdmin III 9.0 on Windows Xp operating system, on my laptop Dell Latitude E4300.

From this morning, Query Builder ("SQL Editor") option simply stopped working. When I open pgAdmin, everything is fine and workin', until I click on the Sql Query Builder button. When I do that, nothing appears and pgAdmin crashes without giving any information.

I tried to uninstall and install PgAdmin III 9.1, again, but Sql Query Builder kept not workin'.

What could I do?
We had the same problem 2 times on two different computer, in just a few days of interval.

PgAdmin started to crash each time we open query builder.

Restarting the computer, reinstalling pgAdmin with differents versions... Nothing resolved the problem. But we found the solution to this problem!

PgAdmin uses a file where it saves the last queries (kind of history) and this file was probably corrupted (or one of the queries was).

This file is in the Application Data of your Windows User, that's why reinstalling pgAdmin doesn't work: this corrupted file is common for every postgres install.

So you just got to rename or delete the file pgadmin_histoqueries.xml located in your AppData (for us, D:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\Application Data\postgresql) and relaunch pgAdmin, this should be OK.
