Thanks. I continued the work on this patch. It's almost ready to be
commited. Unfortunately, I still have one issue. The contextual menu of
the Constraints node doesn't allow the user to add a new constraint
(check constraint for a domain, all kind of constraints for a table). I
can still add a constraint when I select the domain (or table), and
right click to get the contextual menu. See patch attached. Any ideas
why it behaves this way?

Once this is fixed, I may have the solution to fix the same issue on the
User Mappings node...
