[Qgis-developer] wrong attribute values for postgis data in Feature attribute form

Thanks Bernhard. I just figured that. But my layer is not a table, it is 
a view. And it seems that PostgreSQL cannot have constraints on views.

So, I think I just need to carefully select the right key field when 
loading it.

(And maybe QGIS could be slightly smarter by not suggesting a boolean 
field by default?)
