- Around line 260-266: The map callback that builds inc_ids leaves undefined
entries when the if condition is false; update the logic around keys.map(...)
(the block assigning inc_ids) to only produce numeric ids for columns present in
currPk.include — for example replace the single map with a filter+map or a
reduce so you first filter keys where
currPk.include.indexOf(actionObj.oldState.columns[k].name) > -1 and then
parseInt(k), or keep the map but return null/undefined and immediately follow
with .filter(Boolean) to remove empties; ensure the final inc_ids contains only
parsed integers.
- Around line 244-247: The map callback for keys.map only returns when the if
condition is true, producing undefined entries; change the logic to produce a
compact array of ints by using filter+map or flatMap: e.g., filter keys where

parseInt(k), or use keys.flatMap(k =>

- Line 57: The template can produce invalid SQL if a column is marked WITH
OPTIONS while also being an identity column, so update the backend logic that
computes has_with_options to explicitly skip setting it for identity
constraints: when determining has_with_options for OF TYPE columns (the code
path that currently sets has_with_options based on DEFAULT, NOT NULL, or PRIMARY
KEY changes), add a guard that if colconstype == 'i' (identity) do not set
has_with_options; ensure the same check is applied wherever has_with_options is
derived or mutated so templates using has_with_options can never see true for
identity columns.
In
`@web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/templates/tables/sql/default/create.sql`:
- Line 49: The template has a malformed conditional around rendering the column
type: wrap the direct type rendering ({{c.displaytypname}}) with an {% if is_sql
%} ... {% else %} ... {% endif %} so the existing {% else %} and {% endif %}
pair up correctly; specifically, after rendering the column name
({{conn|qtIdent(c.name)}}) insert {% if is_sql %}{{c.displaytypname}}{% else %}
and keep the existing GET_TYPE.CREATE_TYPE_SQL(conn, c.cltype, c.attlen,
c.attprecision, c.hasSqrBracket) branch as the else, ensuring the final {% endif
%} closes this new conditional.

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:
🔧 Proposed fix
- ids = keys.map((k) => {
- if (columns.indexOf(actionObj.oldState.columns[k].name) > -1)
- return parseInt(k);

Same issue as above - this map() callback doesn't return a value when the condition is false, producing undefined entries in the resulting array.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

- Around line 163-165: The edit/readonly logic currently treats any
inheritedfrom as table inheritance; update those gates to distinguish type
inheritance by using isInheritedFromType(state) so only true table inheritance
makes fields read-only. Specifically, replace direct checks of
state.inheritedfrom in the edit/readonly guards (and the
length/precision/default validation paths) with a check that inheritedfrom is
present AND isInheritedFromType(state) is false (e.g., only treat as
table-inherited when !isInheritedFromType(state) &&
!isEmptyString(state.inheritedfrom)). Also ensure get_oftype still preserves
compatibility but that any logic deciding editability consults
isInheritedFromType(state) to allow OF TYPE columns to be editable.

This pull request improves how tables that use the
OF TYPEclause (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 theWITH OPTIONSsyntax 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:
__init__.py, columns inherited from composite types now have aninheritedfromtypefield and store their original default and NOT NULL values, enabling the backend and UI to detect and compare modifications.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 forWITH OPTIONSsyntax in the generated SQL.Improvements to CREATE TABLE SQL generation:
create.sqlfor versions 11+, 12+, 14+, 16+, and default), columns inherited from composite types that are modified now use theWITH OPTIONSsyntax, ensuring the generated SQL accurately reflects changes to defaults or constraints. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]Summary by CodeRabbit
