Hi Kalle,

I'd be very happy to look at your code. Obviously I cannot guarantee
that it would all be incorporated into the base product, but certainly
all of the items above sound very interesting (I've personally wanted to
add a cursor mode to the query tool for some time).

We are keen to support major PostgreSQL derivatives whereever we can,
provided the changes are not too invasive, and I'd certainly be
interested to include Truviso in our list of supported servers if we can.
