Fix UDF/procedure argument grid delete (and add) in edit mode#10333dpage wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…t session canDeleteRow for the function/procedure Arguments grid checked whether the whole function was new rather than whether the individual row was new, so once a function was saved the delete icon was disabled for every argument row, including ones added but not yet saved (same bug pattern already fixed for enum values in pgadmin-org#8208). canAdd had the same whole-object gate, hiding the "+" button entirely once a function was saved, so there was no way to add a row in the first place. Pre-existing (already persisted) arguments remain non-deletable, since PostgreSQL has no way to remove an argument from a function via CREATE OR REPLACE. Also fixes _update_arguments_for_get_sql, which only merged the 'changed' key of the arguments diff and silently dropped (or, without a 'changed' key at all, raised a 500) any newly added argument, so a row added via the now-enabled "+" button actually survives into the generated SQL. Closes pgadmin-org#10252
WalkthroughThe function definition UI now deletes newly added argument rows. Existing routine edits reject added arguments before SQL generation. The merge logic retains only changed arguments. Tests validate the rejection response. ChangesFunction argument handling

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION cannot add an input argument to an existing routine: PostgreSQL treats a changed argument list as a distinct signature, so it creates a separate, orphaned overloaded routine instead of replacing this one, verified against a live PostgreSQL 18 instance. The previous commit's _update_arguments_for_get_sql change merged a newly added argument straight into the CREATE OR REPLACE statement, which would have silently done exactly that. Reject the edit explicitly instead, with a clear error, rather than letting it silently leave a phantom routine behind. Updates the msql test added in the previous commit to assert the rejection instead of successful SQL generation.

PostgreSQL CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION OUT parameter changed return type input parameter types identity INOUT VARIADIC documentation
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, the CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION command is designed to update an existing function's definition while preserving its identity and external dependencies, such as permissions and ownership [1][2][3]. Because of this, it imposes strict limitations on changes to the function's signature [1][4]. Key limitations when using CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION include: Input and Output Parameters: You cannot change the name or data type of existing input parameters [1][5]. If you attempt to do so, PostgreSQL treats the command as an attempt to create a new, distinct function rather than replacing the existing one [1][4]. Similarly, you cannot change the types of any OUT parameters; doing so requires dropping and recreating the function [1][6]. Parameter Names: You are prohibited from changing the names of existing input parameters [1][2]. However, you are permitted to add names to parameters that previously lacked them [1][3]. For functions with multiple OUT parameters, you cannot change the names of the output parameters, as this would alter the column names of the anonymous composite type that defines the function's result [1][4]. Return Type: You cannot change the return type of an existing function using CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION [1][5]. This restriction also applies to OUT parameters, which collectively define the return structure [1][6]. When these specific changes are necessary—such as modifying parameter types, changing return types, or altering existing parameter names—the only valid approach is to DROP the existing function and recreate it [1][4][3]. Because dropping a function removes it as a distinct entity, you must also be prepared to drop and recreate any existing database objects (such as views, triggers, or rules) that depend on the original function [4][2][3]. The ALTER FUNCTION command is available for modifying many auxiliary properties of a function, such as ownership, schema, or configuration settings, but it cannot be used to change the fundamental signature (name or argument types) of the function [1][7].

Use mode-specific rejection messages for added arguments.
data['arguments']['added'] accepts IN, INOUT, VARIADIC, and OUT rows, but this guard does not inspect argmode. Input modes affect routine identity and can create an overload; OUT rows are excluded from identity and change the return row shape instead. Keep rejecting both cases, but use separate messages and add regression tests for each mode.

Fair technical point, and thanks for verifying the OUT-parameter case specifically — an added OUT-only parameter doesn't affect the routine's identity/overload resolution, so PostgreSQL would reject it outright with a distinct 'cannot change return type of existing function' error (SQLSTATE 42P13) rather than silently creating an overload the way an added IN/INOUT/VARIADIC parameter does.
That said, both paths are already safely rejected by the current guard before ever reaching PostgreSQL, so there's no correctness bug here, just an imprecise explanation for the OUT-only sub-case. Splitting the message per argmode and adding a full regression matrix across IN/INOUT/VARIADIC/OUT is more scope than this bug fix (#10252, a delete-icon-does-nothing bug) warrants, so I'm going to leave this open for a maintainer to weigh in on rather than expand scope unilaterally.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@dpage, agreed. The guard rejects both cases before SQL generation, so this is not a correctness issue for #10252.
The only remaining point is that the message is imprecise for an added OUT argument. Deferring mode-specific messages and their test coverage is reasonable for this PR. I will leave the thread open for maintainer review.

Learning: In `web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/functions/__init__.py`, the edit-mode guard rejects all newly added function or procedure arguments before SQL generation. Added `IN`, `INOUT`, and `VARIADIC` arguments can create an overloaded routine, while an added `OUT` argument changes the return row shape and PostgreSQL rejects it with SQLSTATE `42P13`.

Summary
canDeleteRow(in the Function/Procedure Definition tab) checked whether the whole function was new instead of whether the row was new, so once a function was saved the trash icon was disabled for every argument row, including ones added but not yet saved.
