Not true. Currently, you need either OID *or* a primary key. Obviously, that id column should get a pk.Ooops. I sent this yesterday to the wrong maillist address. Sorry. I'll repost here.

When I create a new table that does not have OIDs (the Has OIDs checkbox
is off and I'm using a serial column type to id my records), then I
CANNOT insert new data records using the Edit Data window. There is no
blank row (with an asterisk *) in which to enter new data. In other
words, I've discovered that you MUST use OIDs to be able to insert new
records with the Edit window.
We'll extend the grid some time, to accept any other unique keys also. Still, defining a PK on every table is best practice.
Defining a column as serial does *not* guarantee it's unique!
