There are also features that we know are required from nearly 20 years of
experience building pgAdmin. This is one of those "D'oh, how on earth did
we not think of that" features that should have been in the original
release but wasn't. It's painfully obvious that we need this, as a number
of users have pointed out since we first released pgAdmin 4. It's the
equivalent of a tool for deleting files that doesn't tell you the name of
each file.
