Summary

Running REINDEX with "Concurrently" enabled from the Maintenance dialog generated invalid SQL:

REINDEX (VERBOSE, CONCURRENTLY) TABLE public."Command";
-- ERROR: syntax error at or near "CONCURRENTLY"

CONCURRENTLY was being appended to the parenthesised option list alongside VERBOSE/TABLESPACE/etc., but it isn't a parenthesizable REINDEX option. Per the PostgreSQL grammar it must appear standalone, between the target type keyword (TABLE/INDEX/SCHEMA/DATABASE) and the target name:

REINDEX (VERBOSE) TABLE CONCURRENTLY public."Command";

Fixes #10251.

Test plan

  • Updated the three existing unit tests that had been asserting the invalid SQL to expect the corrected syntax
  • python regression/runtests.py --pkg tools.maintenance passes (69/69) against a live PostgreSQL 18 server

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected generated maintenance SQL so CONCURRENTLY appears in the proper position for database, schema, table, and index reindex operations.
    • Fixed secret checksum annotation handling to use the configured authentication secret reference.
  • Tests
    • Updated maintenance operation checks to validate the corrected PostgreSQL REINDEX CONCURRENTLY syntax.

…-org#10214)

The annotation conditions referenced the non-existent top-level
.Values.existingSecret instead of .Values.auth.existingSecret, so the
secret checksum annotation and the empty-secret gating never worked as
intended when an existing secret wasn't supplied.
…rg#10251)

CONCURRENTLY was being appended to the parenthesised option list
alongside VERBOSE etc., which PostgreSQL rejects. It's not a
parenthesizable option: it belongs standalone, between the object
type keyword and the object name.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The deployment template now uses the authentication secret reference for secret annotations. The maintenance SQL template generates valid REINDEX CONCURRENTLY syntax, and unit tests update expected database, table, and index statements.

Changes

Helm secret annotation checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authentication secret annotation conditions
pkg/helm/templates/deployment.yaml
The deployment template uses .Values.auth.existingSecret to control secret-related annotations and the secret checksum.

REINDEX CONCURRENTLY syntax

Layer / File(s) Summary
REINDEX SQL generation and validation
web/pgadmin/tools/maintenance/templates/maintenance/sql/command.sql, web/pgadmin/tools/maintenance/tests/test_maintenance_create_job_unit_test.py
The template removes CONCURRENTLY from the option list and places it after the DATABASE, TABLE, or INDEX keyword. Tests update the expected SQL statements.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1f8a0

The change is narrowly scoped to correcting invalid REINDEX syntax, with the stated maintenance test suite passing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal review.

PostgreSQL REINDEX SQL syntax current documentation REINDEX SCHEMA CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX SYSTEM CONCURRENTLY

💡 Result:

In current PostgreSQL documentation, the REINDEX command supports the CONCURRENTLY option when applied to SCHEMA and SYSTEM targets [1]. The official syntax is as follows: REINDEX [ ( option [,...]) ] { INDEX | TABLE | SCHEMA } [ CONCURRENTLY ] name REINDEX [ ( option [,...]) ] { DATABASE | SYSTEM } [ CONCURRENTLY ] [ name ] Key points regarding the CONCURRENTLY option: 1. Usage: When the CONCURRENTLY option is used, PostgreSQL rebuilds the index without taking locks that prevent concurrent inserts, updates, or deletes on the underlying table [1]. This contrasts with standard index rebuilds, which lock out writes until completion [1]. 2. Limitations: There are significant caveats when using CONCURRENTLY, such as performance impacts and specific requirements regarding transaction blocks (it cannot be run inside a transaction block) [1]. Users should review the "Rebuilding Indexes Concurrently" section of the PostgreSQL documentation for full details [1]. 3. SYSTEM and SCHEMA support: As shown in the syntax above, both REINDEX SCHEMA and REINDEX SYSTEM accept the CONCURRENTLY option [1]. For REINDEX SYSTEM and REINDEX DATABASE, the name parameter is optional and, if provided, must match the current database name, as these commands currently only operate on the current database [1]. The CONCURRENTLY option can also be specified within the options list in parentheses—for example, REINDEX (CONCURRENTLY) TABLE my_table—or as a standalone keyword following the target type [1].

Add regression coverage for concurrent schema reindexing.

Add reindex_concurrently=True to the schema case and assert REINDEX (VERBOSE) SCHEMA CONCURRENTLY my_schema;. PostgreSQL also supports REINDEX SYSTEM CONCURRENTLY; the current UI disables that combination, so do not describe it as unsupported by PostgreSQL.
