What this is

SchemaView dialogs keep inactive tabs mounted with display: none. Every DataGridView collection grid is always virtualised via @tanstack/react-virtual, with measureElement doing a synchronous getBoundingClientRect() on every row through a fresh ref callback. Whilst a tab is hidden its scroll viewport measures 0, so the virtualizer's ResizeObserver sees a 0-to-real-height jump when the tab is shown again and treats it as a resize, re-measuring every row from scratch — slow for large grids, and pure overhead for small ones that had no offscreen window to skip in the first place.

Fixes #10143.

Fix

Added a virtualiseThreshold (default 100 rows, overridable via viewHelperProps.virtualiseThreshold, matching the existing virtualiseOverscan). Grids at or under the threshold skip virtualisation entirely: no measureElement ref, rows render via a plain .map() in normal document flow, and a new pgrt-row--static class overrides the row's usual position: absolute. Hide/show for these grids is now a pure CSS toggle with nothing for the virtualizer to remeasure. Grids above the threshold are unchanged.

Test plan

  • Added two tests in SchemaDialogView.spec.js: a small grid renders all rows statically (pgrt-row--static, no transform); a 150-row grid still windows via the virtualizer.
  • yarn run test:js-file SchemaDialogView — 22/22 passed.
  • yarn run test:js-file SchemaView — 26/26 passed.
  • eslint clean on all changed files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Role administrators with ADMIN OPTION can manage role membership without changing other role properties.
    • Small data grids now render normally, while larger grids continue using virtualization for performance.
    • Improved handling of transaction commands when server-side cursors are active.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected Helm authentication-secret configuration handling.
    • Fixed generated concurrent REINDEX statements.
    • Improved validation for missing, empty, or null server usernames.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for role permissions, grid rendering, username validation, cursor handling, and maintenance SQL.

…-org#10214)

The annotation conditions referenced the non-existent top-level
.Values.existingSecret instead of .Values.auth.existingSecret, so the
secret checksum annotation and the empty-secret gating never worked as
intended when an existing secret wasn't supplied.
…rg#10251)

CONCURRENTLY was being appended to the parenthesised option list
alongside VERBOSE etc., which PostgreSQL rejects. It's not a
parenthesizable option: it belongs standalone, between the object
type keyword and the object name.
…min-org#9450)

A role's membership tab only enabled the add/remove member controls
for superusers and CREATEROLE holders, so a user who was themselves
granted ADMIN OPTION on that role (and can therefore GRANT/REVOKE its
membership at the SQL level) had no way to add other members, and hit
a permission error server-side if they tried anyway.

The role UI schema now also allows membership changes when the
current user is a member of the role with admin=true. The backend
mirrors this: permission.sql reports whether the connecting user
holds ADMIN OPTION on the target role, and the update handler lets
such a request through only when it's restricted to rolmembers
changes, so this can't be used to escalate other role attributes.
…in-org#10309)

validate_json_data() only checked that the Username key was present on
a non-shared server, not that it held anything useful, so an empty or
null value imported cleanly and left behind a server that libpq would
silently authenticate as the OS account running pgAdmin rather than
reject outright. Check the value, matching the truthiness check already
used for shared servers and the "Username must be specified" rule
enforced by the server dialog.
…mode (pgadmin-org#8991)

execute_void() blindly reused whatever cursor was cached for the
connection, which under "server cursor" mode is the named/server-side
AsyncDictServerCursor left over from the last SELECT. A named cursor's
execute() always wraps the statement as `DECLARE ... CURSOR FOR
<query>`, which cannot express a transaction-control statement, so
BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK silently failed (failing one step earlier still,
on a `prepare` keyword the server-side cursor's execute() doesn't
accept at all) and the exception was swallowed by the background query
thread. The transaction was therefore never actually committed or
rolled back, and the next poll() picked up the previous query's
leftover column info, which is what made the result grid appear
instead of the Messages tab.

Run the statement through a throwaway plain cursor instead, leaving
the cached server-side cursor untouched, and clear the stale column
info so poll() correctly reports no result set.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds ADMIN OPTION support for role membership updates, threshold-based grid rendering, corrected REINDEX syntax, stricter username validation, safe transaction execution with server cursors, and an updated Helm secret reference.

Changes

Role membership administration

Layer / File(s) Summary
ADMIN OPTION permission data and authorization
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/templates/roles/sql/default/permission.sql, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/tests/test_role_check_permission_unit_test.py
Permission data includes has_admin_option. ADMIN OPTION holders may update only rolmembers; other updates and drops remain denied.
Membership editor permissions
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/static/js/role.ui.js, web/regression/javascript/schema_ui_files/role.ui.spec.js
The role UI permits membership changes for delegated administrators, superusers, and role creators. Other role fields retain read-only behavior.

Data grid rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Threshold-based grid rendering
web/pgadmin/static/js/SchemaView/DataGridView/grid.jsx, web/pgadmin/static/js/components/PgReactTableStyled.jsx, web/regression/javascript/SchemaView/SchemaDialogView.spec.js
Grids with 100 or fewer rows render all rows with static positioning. Larger grids retain virtualization.

REINDEX SQL generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
REINDEX command syntax
web/pgadmin/tools/maintenance/templates/maintenance/sql/command.sql, web/pgadmin/tools/maintenance/tests/test_maintenance_create_job_unit_test.py
REINDEX commands place CONCURRENTLY after the target type for supported object types.

Server input validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Non-shared username validation
web/pgadmin/utils/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/utils/tests/test_validate_json_data.py
Missing, null, and empty Username values produce the existing validation error for non-shared servers.

Cursor execution handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transaction control with server cursors
web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/connection.py, web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_execute_void_server_cursor.py
execute_void uses a temporary plain cursor for COMMIT and ROLLBACK, preserves the cached server cursor, and clears stale result state.

Helm secret configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Auth secret reference
pkg/helm/templates/deployment.yaml
Deployment annotation and secret-checksum conditions use .Values.auth.existingSecret.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b04d

The current changes can reject valid administrator role-membership updates and may expose stale query results after transaction completion. These are concrete correctness risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until the affected request validation and cursor polling behavior are corrected.

Cover the threshold boundary and override.

The tests validate only a two-row default grid and a 150-row grid. They do not validate that exactly 100 rows use static flow or that viewHelperProps.virtualiseThreshold overrides the default. A >= boundary regression or an ignored override can pass these tests.

Add one test for 100 rows and one test with a small override value.

Check the submitted fields before validation mutates the request.

_validate_rolemembers adds rol_members_list and revocation fields to self.request. A valid payload that contains only rolmembers then fails set(self.request) <= {'rolmembers'}. ADMIN OPTION holders cannot update membership.

Capture the request keys before validation. Check that saved set here.

   # Parse data...

Update the cursor that poll() reads. poll() ignores column_info and row_count until it resets and rebuilds them from self.__async_cursor. This branch leaves that field set to the previous server cursor. A poll after COMMIT or ROLLBACK can therefore restore the previous query result.

  • web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/connection.py#L1177-L1187: assign the temporary plain cursor as the active async cursor for this operation, and clear any prior async error before the next poll.
  • web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_execute_void_server_cursor.py#L72-L85: configure the plain cursor as a no-result cursor and call poll() after execute_void() to assert that columns, rows, and errors do not come from the prior server cursor.
