The refresh (gnome_db_grid_refresh) does not work, it does nothing. But what
you say is a missing piece of code that I'll have a look shortly. And no, it
shouln't run in that way.

Well, let's first define all the info and then you'll continue with the
implementation (anyway, for the moment you can return whatever you want, since
nowhere is used, except in the browser which just acts as display for the data
returned by any server). I was hiding those columns because as th schema stuff
was to be discussed, I was just showing the column names, which was the only
info returned by both the ODBC and PostgreSQL  server. Well, it was the latter
which misses things.
