What this is

Two related bugs in the Table Create/Properties dialog's Columns grid.

Inherited columns editable/deletable (#10179). column.ui.js's inSchemaWithColumnCheck and table.ui.js's canEditDeleteRowColumns had two mismatches:

  • When a table is opened already inheriting, the properties fetch sets inheritedfromtable on inherited columns, but the frontend only ever checked inheritedfrom — so those rows were never recognised as inherited.
  • When a parent is added interactively via "Inherited from table(s)", the fetched rows do carry inheritedfrom, but carry no attnum yet, and the inherited check ran after an isNew() short-circuit — so these attnum-less rows were still treated as fully editable/deletable.

Removal-on-detach already worked via the existing deferredDepChange pruning logic, confirmed by pre-existing tests, so no change was needed there.

Definition-tab type dropdown ignoring the restriction (#10180). The inline grid-cell editor and the expanded row's Definition tab each had their own copy of the edit_types filter for cltype, but MappedControl resolves a field's type() callback against the whole table's data rather than the field's own row (unlike cell(), which already gets the row) — so the tab's isNew()/edit_types checks always read the wrong object and no-opped, showing every type.

Fixes #10179, fixes #10180.

Fix

  • Check inheritedfrom/inheritedfromtable before the isNew() short-circuit in both inSchemaWithColumnCheck and canEditDeleteRowColumns.
  • MappedControl now resolves a field's declared deps against its own row (as listenDepChanges already does for cell) and forwards them as a second argument to type(). column.ui.js declares edit_types/attnum as deps on cltype and factors the filter into one shared editTypesFilter() used by both cell and type, so the two can't drift apart again.

Test plan

  • Extended column.ui.spec.js and table.ui.spec.js to cover both cases.
  • yarn run jest schema_ui_files/table.ui.spec.js schema_ui_files/column.ui.spec.js schema_ui_files/catalog_object_column.ui.spec.js — 36/36 passed.
  • Full test:js-once (152 suites / 948 tests) passed with the MappedControl.jsx change in place.
  • eslint clean on all changed files.

…-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.
Backend properties fetch marks a column already inherited from a
parent table with inheritedfromtable, while a column fetched
interactively via 'Inherited from table(s)' carries inheritedfrom
instead and has no attnum yet. inSchemaWithColumnCheck only checked
inheritedfrom, and did so after an isNew() short-circuit that treated
the attnum-less interactive rows as new, so inherited columns ended up
editable and deletable in both cases. Check both fields, and check
them before the isNew() short-circuit, and extend
canEditDeleteRowColumns the same way so the row's edit/delete buttons
are disabled too.
…-org#10180)

The expanded row's Definition tab and the inline grid-cell editor each
defined their own copy of the edit_types filter for the 'cltype'
field, but the tab's version received the whole table's data as
'state' rather than the row, since MappedControl resolves a field's
'type' callback against the top-level schema, not the field's own row
(unlike 'cell', which already gets the full row). That made isNew()
and edit_types resolve against the wrong object, so the filter always
no-opped and the tab showed every type instead of the restricted set.

Have MappedControl also resolve a field's declared 'deps' against its
own row (listenDepChanges already does this correctly for 'cell') and
forward them as a 2nd argument to 'type', mirroring what 'cell'
already receives. column.ui.js declares 'edit_types'/'attnum' as deps
on 'cltype' and factors the filter into one shared editTypesFilter()
used by both 'cell' and 'type', so the two stay in sync by
construction.

Walkthrough

Changes

Schema editing behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inherited-column editing and type filtering
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/columns/static/js/column.ui.js, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/static/js/table.ui.js, web/pgadmin/static/js/SchemaView/MappedControl.jsx, web/regression/javascript/schema_ui_files/column.ui.spec.js, web/regression/javascript/schema_ui_files/table.ui.spec.js
Inherited columns use both inheritance markers for read-only checks. Inline and expanded type editors share filtering logic and dependency values. Regression tests cover both behaviors.

Role membership authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
ADMIN OPTION permission flow
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/templates/roles/sql/default/permission.sql, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/tests/test_role_check_permission_unit_test.py
Permission queries expose has_admin_option. Membership-only updates are allowed for eligible users, while other updates and drops remain restricted.
Role-member editing controls
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/static/js/role.ui.js, web/regression/javascript/schema_ui_files/role.ui.spec.js
The role editor enables member editing for ADMIN OPTION users and preserves read-only behavior for other non-admin users.

Maintenance SQL generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY 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. Expected database, table, and index commands were updated.

Cursor execution handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transaction execution 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 transaction-control statements and clears stale result metadata. Tests cover COMMIT and ROLLBACK.

Validation and deployment corrections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server username validation
web/pgadmin/utils/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/utils/tests/test_validate_json_data.py
Non-shared servers now reject missing, empty, and null usernames.
Helm authentication-secret values
pkg/helm/templates/deployment.yaml
Deployment annotation and checksum conditions use .Values.auth.existingSecret.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77f74

The current change still permits stale query metadata after transactions, rejects valid role membership updates, leaves some inherited-column controls editable, and can persist invalid usernames. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and permission-path issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Protect length and scale controls for loaded inherited columns.

attlen at Lines 389-395 and attprecision at Lines 421-427 still reject only inheritedfrom. When a loaded row has only inheritedfromtable, both callbacks can mark the controls editable. Reuse the combined inherited-column check in both callbacks and add regression coverage.

Authorize against the original request keys.

validate_request processes rolmembers before this check. _process_rolmembers adds rol_members_list and rol_members_revoked_list to self.request. A valid ADMIN OPTION membership update then fails Line 1042 and returns 403.

Store the client-supplied keys before validation mutates data. Check that stored set here. Add an endpoint-level test for a valid rolmembers update.

Honor this validation error in every import path.

load_database_servers calls validate_json_data at Line 710 but returns the error only when from_setup is true at Lines 711-713. For normal imports, it continues and stores obj.get("Username", None) in new_server.username at Line 759. Therefore, an empty or null non-shared username can still be persisted. Return the validation error for non-setup imports too, and add a regression test for that path.

Prevent poll() from restoring stale server-cursor metadata.

Resetting column_info and row_count here is not sufficient. poll() retains self.__async_cursor and, at Lines 1609-1641, rebuilds both values from that prior server-side cursor. A COMMIT or ROLLBACK followed by poll() can therefore still display the previous SELECT result metadata.

Add explicit post-transaction state so the next poll() returns no result without reading the cached cursor. Extend the regression test to call poll() after execute_void().
