This pull request improves how tables that use the OF TYPE clause (i.e., tables based on composite types) are handled in pgAdmin. The changes ensure that columns inherited from composite types are tracked for modifications, allowing the UI and generated SQL to correctly use the WITH OPTIONS syntax when defaults or constraints are changed. This results in more accurate CREATE TABLE statements and better support for editing inherited columns.

Enhancements for OF TYPE columns:

  • In __init__.py, columns inherited from composite types now have an inheritedfromtype field and store their original default and NOT NULL values, enabling the backend and UI to detect and compare modifications.
  • In columns/utils.py, the column parsing logic was updated to include inherited columns with modifications (such as changed defaults or NOT NULL constraints) in the final column list, marking them for WITH OPTIONS syntax in the generated SQL.

Improvements to CREATE TABLE SQL generation:

  • In all relevant SQL template files (create.sql for versions 11+, 12+, 14+, 16+, and default), columns inherited from composite types that are modified now use the WITH OPTIONS syntax, ensuring the generated SQL accurately reflects changes to defaults or constraints. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Support for OF TYPE ... WITH OPTIONS on columns inherited from composite types, allowing per-column NOT NULL/DEFAULT modifications.
  • Improvements

    • SQL generation now clearly distinguishes inheritance from types vs parent tables and emits appropriate WITH OPTIONS or comment-based output.
    • UI preserves original default/NOT NULL values and flags modified inherited columns for accurate editing and rendering.

Map callback should return a value on all execution paths.

This map() callback only returns a value when the condition is true, resulting in undefined values in the array when the condition is false. This is flagged by static analysis as it's semantically incorrect for map().

Consider using filter() with map() or flatMap() for clearer intent:

-              ids = keys.map((k) => {
-                if (columns.indexOf(actionObj.oldState.columns[k].name) > -1)

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Template syntax error: Missing {% if is_sql %} conditional around type rendering.

The template has a malformed conditional structure. Comparing to the other templates (11_plus, 12_plus, 14_plus), there's a missing {% if is_sql %} check before {{c.displaytypname}}.

Current (broken):

{{conn|qtIdent(c.name)}}{{c.displaytypname}}{% else %}{{ GET_TYPE.CREATE_TYPE_SQL(...) }}{% endif %}

The {% else %} has no corresponding {% if %} in scope, which will cause a Jinja2 syntax error.

Expected (from other templates):

{{conn|qtIdent(c.name)}} {% if is_sql %}{{c.displaytypname}}{% else %}{{ GET_TYPE.CREATE_TYPE_SQL(...) }}{% endif %}

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Wire isInheritedFromType into inherited-column edit checks.

Right now the edit/readonly gates still key off inheritedfrom, and get_oftype keeps that field for backward compatibility. That means OF TYPE columns can remain read‑only, undermining the goal of making them editable. Please distinguish table inheritance from type inheritance in the checks (and in the direct inheritedfrom checks for length/precision/default).

🌐 Web query:

PostgreSQL ALTER TABLE column WITH OPTIONS syntax requirements - is at least one option required

💡 Result:

Yes. In PostgreSQL the ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... SET ( ... ) form requires at least one option inside the parentheses—the grammar is a comma-separated list, not an optional/empty group:

  • ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name SET ( attribute_option = value [, ... ] )
  • ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name RESET ( attribute_option [, ... ] ) (postgresql.org)

So SET () (or RESET ()) is invalid syntax. If you have nothing to set, omit that subcommand; if you want to remove options, use RESET and name one or more options (e.g. RESET (n_distinct)). (postgresql.org)

Citations:


Remove the is_primary_key check to avoid generating invalid WITH OPTIONS syntax.

The code marks columns for WITH OPTIONS when only is_primary_key is true, but the template outputs WITH OPTIONS with no options if DEFAULT and NOT NULL haven't changed. PostgreSQL requires at least one option in WITH OPTIONS (e.g. NOT NULL or DEFAULT), so this generates invalid SQL. Additionally, the comment already notes that PRIMARY KEY is handled as a table-level constraint, making this check redundant.

Remove is_primary_key from triggering WITH OPTIONS syntax

Lines 394–423: Setting has_modifications = True when is_primary_key is set independently causes has_with_options to be marked even when DEFAULT and NOT NULL remain unchanged. This results in SQL like column_name WITH OPTIONS with no options, which is invalid PostgreSQL syntax. The code comments correctly note that PRIMARY KEY is handled as a table-level constraint, so it should not trigger column-level WITH OPTIONS syntax. Remove the is_primary_key check (lines 405–407) to gate has_with_options only to actual option changes (DEFAULT or NOT NULL).

not cause has_with_options to be set; instead only detect modifications via
differences in defval (original_defval vs defval) and attnotnull
