Description: pgadmin - reconnect to drop database
Details:
1. after some database activity outside and inside pgadmin 1.10.0 rev
7945:7946,
in order to drop a database, you must first disconnect and reconnect.
this should not be so.
2. After creating a database outside of pgadmin, clicking the refresh button
will not usually show the new database.
3. oftentimes, I cannot drop a table without disconnecting and
reconnecting.
in other words, the connection is stale and intermittently broken.
