Comment(by willfurnass):
It would also be nice if PostGIS sequences could be used for layer keys.
I frequently wish to view the result of applying PostGIS aggregate
functions using QGIS but this can't be done using relational views as the
results of such queries lack anything that could be used as a primary key;
I therefore end up littering my db with temporary tables created using
'SELECT...INTO...' so as to view the results of aggregate queries in QGIS.
Allowing a self-incrementing sequence col within a view to be used as a
layer key would be a (slightly ugly) way around this.
