They do have OIDs - and even without, refresh can be made to work easily. We'd just need to refresh based on the unique key (umuser + umserver). > My second idea was to add a "User mapping" tab on the foreign server > dialog, so that we could directly add user mapping to servers.

You're correct in that is would be pretty simple, but that doesn't matter. I would expect to see two tabs on the properties dialogue, one with OID and username (and comment, if that is added in PG), and one with a listview of key/value pairs for the options, in a similar layout to the role/database variables tab. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list (pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
