pgAdmin's *Register - Server* dialog for adding new database connections asks for a **"Maintenance database"**. In order to be able to connect, I set it to the database I want to connect (and also, I have the rights to connect). So, why is that field named "Maintenance DB" instead of just "DB" or "Database"?
