You do realise I'm the pgAdmin project lead? Anyway, the 'technology' in
pgAdmin II is ADO/ODBC which I quite agree doesn't play well with that
many records - but then, not many humans do either.

In pgAdmin III we use libpq directly from C++. If you can speed up that
then I'm sure there will be more people than just me that are interested
:-)

The code I'm actually referring too in this thread, is that which
decides whether and how the results from a given query can be updated.
That would be vastly simplified is I could easily locate the
pg_attribute row for each column.
