Hi Satish,

As per the RM, the fix is supposed to be at the front-end but it seems difficult at the moment as on the selection of the database, we connect it and at the same time the context menu is being called.

As you have tried to fix at the backend, some of the review comments are below.

1.  If the database is already connected, no need to call conn.connect again.

info_already_connected = conn.connected()

status, errmsg = conn.connect()

I've noticed conn.connected() is misleading sometimes. Let's say if the PG server is stopped and no query is fired from pgadmin after that, then conn.connected() will still give True. It is updated only when a query is fired to the PG server. I would suggest let it connect again as there is no harm and this function is very important. We don't want to mess it up for the sake of a message. 

It's true that conn.connected() is misleading but we already get the connection before checking conn.connected() with conn = manager.connection(did=did, auto_reconnect=True).

So, if the database server is stopped, it will throw the error.

2. If you want to raise an error at the client side, use the appropriate function or status (check file ajax.py) at the server side and send the appropriate response. 

Below code needs to be changed.

if(res.data.info_already_connected){

  Alertify.error(res.info);

} else {

  Alertify.success(res.info);

}

The problem is test cases. Almost all the test cases have checked for response "Database connected.". If the function is changed at the server side then all the test cases (around 85+) would have to be changed to handle this.

It's a valid point, so I would suggest to show the warning/info at the client side, no need to show the error message.

Thanks,

Khushboo

Hi Hackers,

In the patch attached, we are gracefully informing the end user, using an alert message, that the database is already connected when they click "Connect Database..." after right clicking on a disconnected database. 

As this problem deals with racing conditions, it is highly complex to show the "Disconnect database" option in the menu upon right click. So we are alerting the end user with the information of "Database already connected".

Thanks,
