The details of which could easily be stored in the local
config file. The dialog would then be:

profile:
user:
password:

where profile encompasses server, port, and database which
would look thusly in the config file:

[profile Normal]
server = slony-I-master.intra.net
port = 5432
database = gnumed

[profile Backup]
server = slony-I-slave1.intra.net
port = 5433     # for avoiding accidents
database = gnumed

[profile local]
server = localhost
port = 5432
database = gnumed-devel

Further profiles could be "public-hherb", "public-anubis".
