And do you display indexes which are automatically generated by PRIMARY
KEY constraint? I would not say those indexes should be in generated SQL
- they certainly should not. But I say those indexes should be displayed
where user-created indexes are. Dave says they shouldn't - well, he is a
developer of PgAdmin, and I will use PgAdmin whether this feature will
be implemented or not, it is useful and convenient tool. But I asked for
it because in my opinion it will make PgAdmin more convenient. The final
desicion is, of course, made by developers, I only try to convince them
that my suggestion makes sense.

Thanks for your attention.
