Actions: Edit / Delete only appears for some tables ?

From
"forest mars"
Date:
I notice when browsing some of the tables in phppgadmin some of them have an "Actions" column that includes buttons for "Edit" and "Delete" while other tables do not have that as an additional column when viewing them in phppgadmin.

Does someone know the difference between these 2 instances and moreover how to get the "Edit" button to show up in tables where it is not currently visible.

AFAIK, I have set permissions to grant all for testing on this, so I don't think that is the issue.

TIA,

Actually I just noticed that all of the permissions on the tables that don't have an edit button have an asterisk next to the permission type,
while on the tables with the edit button the permissions are exactly the same, but there is no asterisk.

This is the clue I was looking for, though I don't know where to view/set whatever it is this asterisk represents.

TIA,

Hello,

phpPgAdmin (ppa) gives ability to edit/delete a row only when it founds
an unique index in the table (or in requested fields for a query) and
the value for the indexed col is not null.

Without unique index (or PK), ppa could not determine a WHERE clause to
select the only row you want to edit/drop.
