Re: 1.8.4 bug DB Restriction field

I think there is a problem with the syntax -- highlighted below

It seems that
datname NOT in (datname='blah')

should just be
datname NOT in ('blah')

SELECT db.oid, datname, db.dattablespace AS spcoid, spcname, datallowconn,
datconfig, datacl, pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) AS serverencoding,
pg_get_userbyid(datdba) AS datowner,has_database_privilege(db.oid, 'CREATE')
as cancreate, current_setting('default_tablespace') AS default_tablespace
FROM pg_database db LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_tablespace ta ON
db.dattablespace=ta.OID WHERE datname NOT IN (*datname='blah'*)
