[Qgis-developer] Connection to PostgreSQL

Hi all.
I noticed that QGIS throws an error when trying to connect to a plain (non PostGIS)
db. I think this limitation should be removed, because:
- QGIS can load non spatial tables, so also a non spatial db is somehow usable
- EXTENSION postgis can be created from within QGIS (e.g. through DB Manager), so an
user could connect to a non spatial PostgreSQL and make it spatial.
Any reason not to do so?
Thanks.
