Description
I noticed that DB Manager freezes (or at least take a very long time) when opening a schema that has a lot of tables in it.
With hundreds of tables it takes a lot, with thousand it can freeze completely the program.
On the other hand the "add postgis" dialog list the tables in schemas very quickly, even when there are thousands of them.

When I have to put thousands of layers into a DB I use PostGIS, so I just have this case (I have not tested with Spatialite).

with 200 tables I don't see this issue, do you think we can close the issue or at least decrease the priority?

in my case is still an issue (freeze). It pretty slow also with hundreds of tables when the db is remote (much slower than the "add postgis layer" dialog).

Giovanni, is there such problem with slowness also with PostGIS manager plugin?
I believe the main issue is with the fact that the DB manager tries to immediately find out type of the geometry columns, while "Add PostGIS layer" dialog in QGIS only does a basic query and then fetches the additional information in background. The DB manager should use the same approach. When doing that it should ideally reuse the code from PostGIS provider. Either way, that will require various non-trivial changes and will be a new feature rather than just a bug fix.

do you refer to your old plugin or the "add postgis layer" dialog?
If it is the latter then the answer is "no", does not freeze. It is actually fast to connect to a server with schemas with thousands of tables in it and list them.

it seems equally slow (many seconds) with a couple hundred of tables. More or less as DB Manager. With more tables both basically freeze qgis.

still an issue in latest master while the QGIS browser does not suffer of the same problem.

- Resolution set to not reproducable

now in master it seems that speed is much more reasonable, even on slow connections on a remote server.
