Hi,

I'm using the latest release (1.0.2) on Windows (XP).

There appears to be a bug handling multi-value database variables.
I've changed the default search_path for a db via:
ALTER DATABASE "MyDB" SET search_path TO schema1,schema2,schema3;

To view this in pgAdmin III, I right-click on the DB in the left-hand
tree view, click the "Variables" tab on the pop-up window and see 3
rows like so:
Variable | Value
================|===============
"search_path | schema1
schema2 |
schema3" |

Which is not very promising. Worse, closing this popup and going back
to the main window, selecting the "Properties" tab in the bottom right-
hand side of the window (it is selected by default) I see the
following for the creation script:

CREATE DATABASE "MyDB"
WITH ENCODING = 'SQL_ASCII';
ALTER DATABASE "PublishWorks" SET "search_path=schema1,;
ALTER DATABASE "PublishWorks" SET schema2,;
ALTER DATABASE "PublishWorks" SET schema3";

I haven't tried it, but I don't think that'll even make it past the
parser. Of course Users also support having properties set, so I went
ahead and tested this. pgAdmin III has the same problem. Could this
be a general problem with mis-handling configuration parameters that
accept multiple values?

Hope this report helps further improve an (otherwise) excellent tool.
