*new description:*
If you open the processing toolbox without a data connection defined, the "Import into PostGIS" tool tosses an error in the log but gives the user no clean indication what has happened beyond the message log. Could the tool either tell you "there is no connection" or prompt you to create a connection if one doesn't exist?
