Some databases not listed in treeview

Hi all,

I've just come across a funny in pgAdmin 4 version 8.13: when I connect 
from my laptop to a server on the same laptop, not all databases are 
listed in the tree-view on the left. The server is PostgreSQL 16.6.

Connecting to the server with psql and doing \l shows me 12 databases, 
including template0 and template1. Likewise, "select * from pg_database" 
gives me the same 12 rows. However, the treeview shows only 9... 
template* databases are excluded, plus one other of my own.

Interestingly, when I select from pg_database, the one database of mine 
which is excluded has an OID of 4; all the others have 5-digit OIDs. I 
don't know why its OID is so low; it's come forward through a few PG 
versions over several years, so probably historical baggage.

All the best,

Ray.

Hi Ray,

I'm not sure how your DB has an OID of 4 digits. pgAdmin considers all DBs with OIDs less than equal to 16383 as system DBs. So your DB here is considered a system DB.

Helo Aditya,

Thanks for responding. I've no idea how that happened either! Anyway, I'm glad to know what the issue is - thanks for clarifying.

Ray.
