I have a syntax format for SQL that I prefer, so when I craft new Views or what-not I write them out a certain way.

When I save that SQL into a View, pgAdmin4 will re-format it. If I later need to debug that View, it adds some complexity for me because first I have to re-format the layout in a text file in the format I understand best.

Is it possible to turn this off, so that pgAdmin4 saves exactly what I enter?

I guess there are two parts to what pgAdmin is doing.
  1. It will change spacing/indentation, and line-breaks. This is what I am hoping to stop.
  2. It does some optimization apparently. It will adjust statements to be more efficient I guess, as well as do things like change "SELECT *" into "SELECT c1,c2,c3" or add explicit type-casting. This stuff is fine for me.
Thanks!
