I like that if I add a new row or rows and hit Save, the OIDs are fetched immediately. However;

- It marks the row as read-only. We do that currently because we don't return the key info on Save, and thus require a Refresh before any further editing. However, if we have the OID, we can edit again immediately.

Fixed 
- If we can return the new OIDs on Save, can't we do the same for primary key values? That would be consistent with OIDs, and would remove the need to disable rows, leading to a much nicer use experience I think.

Implemented 

This looks great, however there is one small issue I spotted; it looks like we're inserting rows in a random order. For example, in the screenshot attached, the last 5 rows were added in the order seen in the key1 column, and then I hit Save and got the id values returned. Is that caused by something we're doing, or the database server?

Thanks!
