Possible solutions

  • present a default value for PostgreSQL library inside the dropdown
  • programmatically check whether PostgreSQL library is given inside the dropdown menu. If not, show an appropriate error message insie an error popup window.

This issue prevented me from having a smooth first user experience when using HeidiSQL to connect to a PostgreSQL database. Thanks for providing such a helpful tool!
