We're observing that updates issued by the tabular view of a table
use OID instead of the PKEY when the table has OIDs. Using pgAdmin3
version 1.4.2.
Specifically this is what we do:
Connect to a DB, drill down and select a table. Select the "apply
filter and view data" icon and select a row based on the PKEY. On
the resulting tabular view, alter one piece of data then commit it.
The query run on the DB server does the update "where oid=NNN"
instead of updating using the primary key like "where user_id=NNN".
Now, on a 60+ million row table which does not have an index on oid,
this obviously takes a long time...
On a table without oid's, it uses the PKEY as one would expect.
Is there some way to force pgAdmin to use the PKEY instead? It seems
like a bad decision to ever use the OID when a PKEY exists, given
that the latter is guaranteed to have an index whereas the OID most
likely will not, given that they are somewhat deprecated.
Thanks!
