Hi there,
As Melvin pointed out, you'll get better answers on the pgsql-general
mailing list; this list is for pgAdmin, which is a PG administration tool.
Also, as Melvin also correctly pointed out, 8.1 is incredibly ancient;
the current version is 9.6.

Yes, there is, in current versions anyway:

Hope this helps,
