What does pgAdmin II do instead? Or, how did you solve the problem?
Also, just to put my two cents in, I and others I have worked with
don't like admin tools mucking up the databases we're working on. So, I
think it's a good idea to find some solution.
One thought is to use a completely separate database, but also allow it
to be stored in the current database if the user wants it too. This
also solves the case of a user that can't create a new database for his
admin tool (permissions etc...). Also, it might be cleaner now that we
have schemea support to create one pgadmin, or pgaccess schemea in the
database, that handled all the others.
