ViewCommand.can_edit() now runs a new view_base_table.sql template to check PostgreSQL's own information_schema.views.is_updatable/ is_trigger_updatable plus a single-base-table check via view_table_usage, then reuses the existing primary_keys.sql and get_columns.sql templates to resolve the base table's primary key columns and confirm they're still exposed under their original names in the view's own output. Editability and the resolved PK info are cached on the instance. get_primary_keys(), has_oids() and save() are added to mirror TableCommand, and get_columns_types() is added because the poll() endpoint calls it whenever can_edit() is true - without it, polling results for a now-editable view raised an AttributeError. MViewCommand inherits this unchanged and correctly stays read-only, since materialized views have no information_schema.views row at all. Adds web/pgadmin/tools/sqleditor/tests/test_view_command_editable.py, covering a simple 1:1 view (including an actual UPDATE through the view landing in the base table), a view omitting the PK column, a view with a WHERE clause, a join-based view, a trigger-backed view, and a materialized view.
…, role filtering Four issues found in review of the editable-view-data feature: - Critical: can_edit()'s name-only PK match could be fooled by a view column that merely shares a name with the base table's real PK without being it (e.g. `SELECT legacy AS id, id AS realid FROM t`), letting an UPDATE/DELETE through the view silently rewrite every base row sharing that value instead of just one. Since there's no reliable way to resolve this through aliasing (per the design spec), save() now checks the actual rows-affected count for each view UPDATE/DELETE and rolls back and rejects the change if it isn't exactly what was intended, rather than letting it stand. Scoped to ViewCommand/ MViewCommand only (matched by object_type, not isinstance, to avoid a circular import) - tables are already protected by a real PRIMARY KEY constraint. - view_base_table.sql only excluded INSTEAD OF UPDATE triggers (is_trigger_updatable); a view with only an INSTEAD OF DELETE or INSERT trigger passed through uncaught. Added is_trigger_deletable and is_trigger_insertable_into to the same check. - Row insertion through a view was reachable via the existing "Add row" UI (gated only on the shared can_edit flag) but was never designed for. save() now explicitly rejects any newly-added row when the target is a view. - information_schema.view_table_usage is filtered by pg_has_role(owner, 'USAGE'), so it returned nothing for a role with direct grants but no ownership/membership - the normal case in most server-mode deployments. Replaced with a pg_depend/pg_rewrite-based lookup of the view's _RETURN rule, which carries no such filter. Added tests for all four: an aliased-PK view whose update is rejected and confirmed unchanged in the base table, a view with only an INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger, an insert attempt against an editable view, and a non-owner role (fresh LOGIN, direct grants only) still getting can_edit()=True.
Three issues from the whole-branch review, all "ready to merge, with fixes": - docs/en_US/editgrid.rst still said views cannot be edited and updatable views (using rules) are not supported. Corrected to describe what the code now does: simple auto-updatable views (single base table, no INSTEAD OF triggers, PK exposed under its own name) support UPDATE/DELETE but not row insertion; materialized, join-based and trigger-backed views stay read only. - ViewCommand.can_edit()/get_primary_keys() ignored the default_conn they were given (get_primary_keys() already accepted it but discarded it; can_edit() didn't even take it), resolving a second connection on the same conn_id instead - risking disturbance of an in-flight async cursor's results, per __init__.py's own comment on why start_view_data() resolves a separate default_conn in the first place. can_edit() now takes default_conn=None and uses it when supplied; get_primary_keys() forwards whatever it was given. - ViewCommand.save() (and MViewCommand, which inherits it) had no can_edit() guard, so a non-editable instance would reach save_changed_data() with an incomplete columns_info and fail with a KeyError after a BEGIN had already been issued - a dangling transaction and a 500, not an intentional guard. Added an explicit check at the top of save(). Deliberately does not call forbidden() the way GridCommand.save() does: forbidden() returns a raw HTTP Response, and the one real caller of ViewCommand.save() always unpacks a 4-tuple from it, which raises TypeError on a Response (verified) - a 500 instead of a clean refusal. Returns the same message in the 4-tuple shape save_changed_data() itself already uses for its own early refusals. Added tests: TestViewSaveGuardsNonEditable (a view missing its PK column, and a materialized view) confirms save() refuses cleanly, with no dangling transaction and no change to the base table.
CodeRabbit review on pgadmin-org#10322: if _get_relation_oid() raises IndexError before self.trans_id is assigned, the finally block's unconditional _close_query_tool() call raised AttributeError, masking the original failure. Initialize self.trans_id to None in setUp and only close the query tool when it was actually assigned.
Share one get_columns_types() implementation between TableCommand and ViewCommand, log the exception ViewCommand.can_edit() swallows when it fails closed, fold the duplicate execute_dict() branches in save_changed_data() into one, and have TestViewCommandEditable reuse _ViewSaveTestMixin rather than carrying its own copies of the same helpers.
ViewCommand's cached editability and key columns were pickled into the session with the command object, so they lasted for the life of the grid rather than one data load: a view redefined after the grid was opened kept its old editability and primary key until the tab was reopened. get_sql() now clears the cache so each load (refresh, filter, sort) re-checks the view's current definition. The rows-affected check for views also gave the same 'apparent primary key does not uniquely identify' message when too few rows were affected, which is the wrong cause there: the row has usually been changed or deleted by another session, or is no longer visible through the view. That case now gets its own message.

Summary
Right-clicking a view and choosing "View/Edit Data" has always opened a read-only grid, regardless of whether the underlying view could actually be updated. PostgreSQL itself supports UPDATE/DELETE against "simple automatically updatable views" (single base relation, direct column references, no
DISTINCT/GROUP BY/aggregates/set ops) without needingINSTEAD OFtriggers, and reports this viainformation_schema.views.is_updatable.Fixes #2363.
What's supported
is_updatable/is_trigger_updatable/is_trigger_deletable/is_trigger_insertable_intoflags say so (i.e. noINSTEAD OFtriggers), it resolves to exactly one base table, and that base table's primary key columns are exposed in the view's own output under their original (unaliased) names.SELECT * FROM some_viewdirectly rather than using the tree's "View/Edit Data" action) are all unaffected and remain read-only, as before.Safety net
Because the primary-key identification is name-based rather than a verified column-provenance mapping, there's a narrow theoretical case where a view aliases an unrelated column to the same name as the base table's real primary key column (e.g.
SELECT legacy_id AS id FROM t). To make sure that can never silently corrupt data, saves through a view now check the actual number of rows affected by the generated UPDATE/DELETE and refuse to let the change stand if it isn't exactly what was expected, rather than trusting the WHERE clause blindly. This is scoped to view targets only; table editing (which has a real database-enforced primary key) is unaffected.The base table is resolved via
pg_depend/pg_rewriterather thaninformation_schema.view_table_usage, since the latter is filtered bypg_has_role(owner, 'USAGE')and would silently disable the feature whenever the connecting role isn't the table owner, the normal case in most server-mode deployments.Test plan
