Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • PostgreSQL table structure details now report enum labels and composite-type attributes for custom column types.
    • Metadata is matched to the type’s schema, preventing same-named types in different schemas from returning incorrect details.
    • Built-in and extension-provided types retain their existing representations, and columns without custom types continue to return their usual structure.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PostgreSQL table-structure lookup now batches catalog queries for user-defined types and matches metadata by schema and type name. New unit and end-to-end tests check custom-type metadata and schema isolation.

Changes

PostgreSQL custom type metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batch and match custom-type metadata
shared-code/src/data-access-layer/data-access-objects/data-access-object-postgres.ts
The DAO selects each column’s type schema and batches catalog lookups for composite attributes and enum labels. It matches results by schema and type name, then removes temporary schema metadata from returned columns.
Validate catalog lookup and endpoint metadata
backend/test/ava-tests/unit-tests/postgres-table-structure-custom-types.test.ts, backend/test/ava-tests/non-saas-tests/non-saas-table-postgres-custom-types-e2e.test.ts
Unit tests check catalog query counts, custom-type metadata, ordinary column fields, and schema isolation. An end-to-end test creates an enum, composite type, and table, then checks the table-structure endpoint response.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2b2e1

Tables using unusual quoted type names may receive incorrect enum or composite metadata. The risk is narrow, but the key should be made unambiguous.

A rabbit checks the enum’s names,
Then tests the composite fields.
Two catalog trips bring labels back,
While schemas keep their bounds.
The table shares its shape with care,
And hops away with tidy rows.

Use an unambiguous key for each custom type.

If a table uses "a.b"."c" and "a"."b.c", customTypeKey returns a.b.c for both types. The catalog rows then share one description, so the returned columns can contain each other’s enum labels or composite attributes. PostgreSQL permits periods in quoted identifiers. Use an unambiguous pair encoding, such as JSON.stringify([schema, name]). (postgresql.org)
