Schema Diff: drop the scaffolding default partition after rebuilding a partitioned table#10316dpage wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…a partitioned table (pgadmin-org#10301) Rebuilding a partitioned table (e.g. because its partition key changed) generates a script that creates a temporary partitioned table, adds a DEFAULT partition to it purely so the row-copy INSERT doesn't fail on rows that match none of the real partitions, copies the rows across and renames everything into place. The scaffolding DEFAULT partition was never removed, so a source table with no default partition of its own ended up with an extra one in the rebuilt target, and Schema Diff would report the table as different forever after. Worse, if the source table did have a genuine default partition, the generated script tried to create it as well as the scaffolding one, and Postgres only allows a single DEFAULT partition per parent, so applying the script failed outright. get_sql_from_diff() now checks whether the source table already has a default partition and only asks the template to scaffold one when it doesn't; partition_diff.sql only creates that scaffolding partition (and drops it again once the row copy is done) in that case, leaving a genuine source default partition to be carried across, renamed into place, by the normal per-partition rename loop. Added test_schema_diff_partition_default.py, covering both a source table without a default partition (the scaffolding one must be dropped) and one with a genuine default partition (it must survive and the script must not attempt to create two).
WalkthroughSchema Diff now detects source default partitions before rebuilding partitioned tables. PostgreSQL and PPAS templates conditionally create and remove temporary default partitions. A regression test validates rebuilds with and without source default partitions. ChangesPartition default scaffolding
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The rebuild script now creates and removes a temporary default partition, but its fixed name can collide with an existing relation and rows routed there can be deleted during cleanup. The PR is not safe to merge until the scaffold uses a unique name and non-empty scaffolding is handled without data loss. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Use a per-rebuild scaffold name. The deterministic <original_table>_default name can resolve to an existing relation, which the new drop statement can delete.

Do not silently delete rows accepted by the temporary DEFAULT partition. A target row outside the source bounds routes to the scaffold during copying and is deleted when the scaffold is dropped.

Exercise the row-copy path with data.
Both fixtures create empty tables. The generated INSERT ... SELECT therefore copies zero rows, so this test can pass when row routing or preservation is broken. Insert values into the target regular and DEFAULT partitions, then assert the copied row counts after each rebuild.
