I seem to recall that we did this originally, ie. a single long list of
connection possibilities. 

I don't remember now why the the drill down second step dialog was introduced,
probably to make the choice selection more focussed and to differentiate it
from general JDBC connections, as it might have been felt that there were too
many choices in the initial dialog. 

If we were to continue down that route, we should consider doing the same for
Postgresql and other dB backends such as Sqlite or similar which have multiple
connector possibilities.

I fear however, that that would only complexify the UI code further. I have no
strong opinion either way.
