Hi Miguel,

The edit grid will work if you have either a primary key or OIDs in your table. I 
usually add a serial column to every table and mark it as the primary key.

At a guess you capitalised it so it created public."Test". If you stick to lower case, 
numbers and underscore characters that should prevent quoting making your schema look 
messy :-)

No they aren't (and the licences are incompatible), but there isn't much need anyway 
as the pgAdmin data editor works well if you have pkeys.

No. The Export Data dialogue simply exports data in a results grid to a delimited text 
file. The backup option will be a frontend to pg_dump, whilst restore will probably be 
an enhanced script runner that can handle compressed scripts and \connect directives.

Not that obvious, your English is far better than many native speakers I know!

Thanks - please feel free to lend a hand however you like, just pick something from 
the bugs list or todo list and have a go at producing a patch. It's definitely a good 
idea to email the hackers list [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your intended work though just 
we don't work on the same things.

Alternatively, the website could do with a Spanish translation. Details are at 
http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/translation.php if you wish to give it a go.

Thanks. I have updated the PO file for this.

Regards, Dave.
