I developed the Import Vector Feature as part of the GSoC 2011,
it allows to import vector layer using QGis providers.
The idea was to use that new feature also to create new PostGIS
layers from QGis GUI, but even to save a layer as a SL/PG table.

In this moment the DBManager plugin only (another part of my GSoC)
supports import vector feature by drag'n'drop layers.

Anyway that feature is in master yet and works on OGR, PostGIS
and SpatiaLite providers.
It probably needs some improvements, but it seems to works quite
well right now.

Regards.
