What this is

Schema Diff compares a SERIAL column by reprojecting it onto the SERIAL pseudo-type, which implies its nextval() default rather than stating it, so the reprojection empties the default before comparison. Once a column genuinely differs in "serialness" from its counterpart, that emptied default was all update.sql had to work from, so converting a plain column to SERIAL produced a script that changed the type and created the owned sequence but never set the column's DEFAULT, leaving the column unusable as a SERIAL (inserts omitting it failed on the target but succeeded on the source).

The fix

BaseTableView._normalise_serial_column() now distinguishes three cases instead of one:

  • Both sides SERIAL: unchanged behaviour, drop the emptied default only.
  • Becoming SERIAL: recreate the sequence (with the column's own integer type, as PostgreSQL does for a SERIAL) from the default preserved under a new serial_defval key, move it past any values the column already holds, and restore the default once the sequence exists.
  • Leaving SERIAL: drop the default before dropping the now-unused sequence, since PostgreSQL refuses to drop a sequence a column's default still references.

update.sql renders the new CREATE/DROP SEQUENCE statements around the existing DEFAULT handling in the right order for both directions, self-contained within the column's own diff so it doesn't depend on Schema Diff's separate, unordered sequence-object comparison.

The "leaving SERIAL" case is guarded to require an explicit cltype in the payload and a defval that differs from the current nextval() default, since the same normalisation runs for the table dialog's column updates: a partial update that only changes a comment or a privilege carries no cltype at all, and one that only widens the type (e.g. to bigint) keeps the column SERIAL, so neither may drop its sequence.

Testing

Added unit tests for _normalise_serial_column() covering all the cases (including both partial-update guards), a table msql test that widens a SERIAL column to bigint and applies the result, and an end-to-end Schema Diff test converting columns both directions (including to SMALLSERIAL and on a populated column), asserting correct statement ordering, the new sequence's type and next value, and that applying the whole generated script (owned sequences' own rows included, in Generate Script's order) in one transaction round-trips everything to Identical.

tools.schema_diff and browser.server_groups.servers.databases.schemas.tables pass against PostgreSQL 18; pycodestyle is clean.

Fixes #10292.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved conversion between integer columns and SERIAL, BIGSERIAL, and SMALLSERIAL types in both directions.
    • Preserved existing sequence defaults when updating columns that remain serial.
    • Created sequences with settings appropriate to the column type and advanced them past existing values, preventing duplicate values after conversion.
    • Removed owned sequences when disabling serial behavior and prevented partial column updates from unintentionally removing serial defaults.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for serial conversions, sequence handling, default preservation, and schema-diff synchronization.

Walkthrough

Schema Diff preserves SERIAL defaults during reprojection and handles sequence creation or removal when a column changes between integer and SERIAL types. Sequence initialization accounts for existing column values. Unit and integration tests cover conversion handling.

SERIAL conversion handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
SERIAL state normalization
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/columns/utils.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/utils.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/columns/tests/test_parse_nextval_sequence_unit.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/tests/test_normalise_serial_column_unit.py
Serial reprojection preserves the original default. _normalise_serial_column distinguishes unchanged, entering, and leaving SERIAL states. parse_nextval_sequence extracts sequence names from matching defaults. Unit tests cover these cases and partial updates.
SERIAL sequence SQL
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/tables/templates/columns/sql/*/update.sql
The update templates create and configure sequences for SERIAL conversions. They advance sequences based on existing column values and drop sequences scheduled for removal after default handling.
Conversion validation
web/pgadmin/tools/schema_diff/tests/test_schema_diff_serial_conversion.py
The integration test seeds existing values before conversion and checks that inserts which omit the column receive the expected next values.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 06eef

Changing the type of an existing SERIAL column, such as widening it to bigint, now fails because the update tries to drop the column's sequence while the column still uses it. Full Schema Diff scripts that convert columns to or from SERIAL can also fail, because the sequence is created or dropped twice or in the wrong order. Sequence value synchronization is now correct. Resolve both issues before merging.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Synchronize the sequence after creating it.

data.serial_seq_create currently preserves the source START value but does not account for rows already present in the target column. A later implicit insert can therefore generate an existing value and fail on a unique constraint.

Initialize ascending sequences from MAX(column) and descending sequences from MIN(column). Use is_called = false when the column has no non-null values so the next insert uses the configured START. Apply this block to both templates.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff finding about synchronising the new sequence: confirmed and fixed in 48a1cb1. After creating and owning the sequence, both update.sql buckets now run SELECT setval(seq, MAX(col)) FROM tbl HAVING MAX(col) IS NOT NULL (MIN for a negative INCREMENT), so an empty column leaves the sequence at its START and a populated one carries on past its existing values. The Schema Diff test now converts a populated column and checks the next generated id follows on.

…admin-org#10292)

Schema Diff compares a SERIAL column by reprojecting it onto the SERIAL
pseudo-type, which implies its nextval() default rather than stating it,
so the reprojection empties the default before comparison. Once a column
genuinely differs in "serialness" from its counterpart, that emptied
default was all update.sql had to work from, so converting a plain
column to SERIAL produced a script that changed the type and created the
owned sequence but never set the column's DEFAULT, leaving the column
unusable as a SERIAL.

BaseTableView._normalise_serial_column() now distinguishes three cases
instead of one: both sides SERIAL (unchanged, drop the emptied default
only), becoming SERIAL (recreate the sequence from the default preserved
under the new 'serial_defval' key and restore the default once the
sequence exists), and leaving SERIAL (drop the default before dropping
the now-unused sequence, since PostgreSQL refuses to drop a sequence a
column's default still references). update.sql renders the new
CREATE/DROP SEQUENCE statements around the existing DEFAULT handling in
the right order for both directions, self-contained within the column's
own diff so it doesn't depend on Schema Diff's separate, unordered
sequence-object comparison.

The "leaving SERIAL" case is guarded to require an explicit 'cltype' in
the payload, since the same normalisation runs for the ordinary column
PUT, where a partial update that only changes a comment or a privilege
on an already-SERIAL column carries no 'cltype' at all and must be left
alone.
…icts in SERIAL conversion (pgadmin-org#10292)

parse_nextval_sequence() left doubled single quotes undecoded when a
sequence name itself contained a quote (e.g. "id'seq"), producing a
wrong identifier when spliced verbatim into CREATE/ALTER/DROP SEQUENCE
DDL rather than back into a string literal.

CREATE SEQUENCE IF NOT EXISTS in the generated conversion script could
also silently skip an existing, unrelated relation of the same name
(without checking it is even a sequence), after which the unconditional
ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNED BY would reassign ownership of that unrelated
object. Dropping IF NOT EXISTS makes a name collision fail loudly
instead.
…ype (pgadmin-org#10292)

A bare CREATE SEQUENCE is always bigint, but the sequence PostgreSQL
creates for a SERIAL or SMALLSERIAL column is integer or smallint
respectively, so converting a plain column to either of those produced a
sequence of the wrong type. Emit AS <type> with the column's underlying
integer type, and extend the Schema Diff test with a smallint to
SMALLSERIAL conversion that checks the resulting sequence's type.
pgadmin-org#10292)

Converting a populated plain column to SERIAL created its sequence at
its START value, so the next insert omitting the column reused a value
the column already held. Set the new sequence to the column's current
MAX (MIN for a descending sequence) once it exists, leaving it at START
when the column holds no values, and have the Schema Diff test convert a
populated column and check the next generated value follows on.
…pgadmin-org#10292)

Setting the new sequence to the column's MAX (or MIN) whatever it held
could move it backwards past its START, or abort the script with an
out-of-bounds error when the column only held values below MINVALUE,
such as a 0. Only call setval() once that value has reached START in
the sequence's direction, and cover the below-MINVALUE case in the
Schema Diff test.

…rg#10292)

Widening a SERIAL column to bigint in the table dialog sends only the new
cltype, which was enough to treat the column as leaving SERIAL and emit
DROP SEQUENCE without DROP DEFAULT. PostgreSQL refuses that drop whilst
the column's nextval() default still references the sequence, so the
change could not be saved. A column now only leaves SERIAL when its
default is also replaced or dropped.
