Re: PATCH: Added Node Type & Catalog objects [pgAdmin4] - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

Thanks - patch applied. Unfortunately there are 3 more minor issues
for you to fix:

- Renaming or changing the schema for a shell type should not be allowed.

- I'm allowed to try to add ACL entries or security labels to an
existing shell type. This should be disallowed.

- Changing the schema on a (non-shell) type doesn't work - the type
name is omitted, e.g.

ALTER TYPE pem
    SET SCHEMA pemhistory;

Which should be:

ALTER TYPE pem.foo
    SET SCHEMA pemhistory;
