Thread: Trigger Display Bugs in 1.12 pgAdmin
To Who It May Concern, I am using the new 1.12 pgAdmin on Windows XP SP3 and I have notice two display inaccuracies when connecting to a Postgres9 database. For example when creating the following trigger: CREATE TRIGGER c_aud_trg BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE c_aud_trg_trfunc(); It will get created correctly (checking with pgdump based on suggestions from the pgsql list). However it will be displayed as:CREATE TRIGGER c_aud_trg BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDUREc_aud_trg_func(E'\\x'); If that same trigger is dropped and re-added using what is in the database, the following shows up:CREATE TRIGGER c_aud_trg BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE c_aud_trg_func(E'\\x5c7800'); The second issue is the ordering of 'update of' triggers. For example when creating the following trigger: CREATE TRIGGER ca_trig BEFORE UPDATE OF columnA OR DELETE ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE c_h_trg_func (); It will be displayed as: CREATE TRIGGER ca_trig BEFORE UPDATE OR DELETE OF columnA ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE c_h_trg_func (); This is a syntax error. On a side note, does pgAdmin or Postgres have a bug tracker like bugzilla/trac/jira/etc? Christopher A Hotchkiss JPMorgan Chase & Co.

It's done on the attached patch. Unfortunately, it shows another issue. The issue I found relates to the new GUC bytea_output. Here is a quick example. ticketx=# CREATE TRIGGER c_aud_trg2 BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON ca FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE c_aud_trg_trfunc2('&'); This statement creates a trigger that executes a procedure which accepts one argument. Let's try to get the contents of the column tgargs of the pg_trigger table: ticketx=# select tgargs from pg_trigger where tgname='c_aud_trg2'; tgargs -------- \x2600 (1 row) This is the new hex output for a bytea column (yes, tgargs is a bytea). Let's try the old output: ticketx=# set bytea_output to escape; SET ticketx=# select tgargs from pg_trigger where tgname='c_aud_trg2'; tgargs -------- &\000 (1 row) Much better. So, the only way to fix this, AFAICT, is to set bytea_ouput to "escape" when connected to a 9.0 server. My question is this: should I set the parameter at the connection start, or should I set and unset it during the search of triggers? The latter is less error prone, but requires to execute three more queries (SHOW bytea_output, SET bytea_output TO escape, SET bytea_output TO old_value). > The second issue is the ordering of 'update of' triggers.

Usually, I put in it each bug I'm able to reproduce. It's available at http://code.pgadmin.org/, and your issue is here: http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/240 Thanks for your report. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com

The old output is what all the rest of the code expects (if anywhere does expect it), so I can't imagine it would break anything. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company
