Even after installing PosGIS I’m not able to create new custom external type because the SQL does not return any value (Same behaviour as is in pgAdmin3) , But I’m able to list all of it’s properties of external types same as pgAdmin3 (PFA screenshots).
I have also attached patch for plain fields control (without lable & border) for backform. (Please apply it before testing new type patch)

That's must-have functionality.

I wonder if installing PostGIS would allow that testing to be done. > - Why does "Range" type have a frame around it? > > So that we can make visible/hide all the control/elements related to Range > type as whole instead having separate code for each control/element. > That frame is because we used ‘FieldsetControl’ of backform to group all the > elements of Range type.
Can you make it a plain div with no border/title? That would fit in better with the existing styling, assuming the columns line up properly.
