Pull Request Checklist

  • Have you added new tests to prevent regressions?
    • I have modified the describe-table-query.test.ts file to cover the new change.
  • If a documentation update is necessary, have you opened a PR to the documentation repository?
    • No documentation update is required for this change.
  • Did you update the typescript typings accordingly (if applicable)?
    • Not applicable, as this change only affects SQL query generation for PostgreSQL.
  • Does the description below contain a link to an existing issue (Closes #[issue]) or a description of the issue you are solving?
    • This PR addresses the issue described in an internal discussion, which causes a subquery error when handling multiple schemas in PostgreSQL.
  • Does the name of your PR follow our conventions?
    • Yes, the PR name follows the format "fix(describe-table-query): add condition to prevent subquery error."

Description of Changes

This PR adds a condition to the SQL query generated by Sequelize for describeTableQuery in PostgreSQL. The condition AND c.table_schema = st.schemaname is added to the subquery that retrieves column comments. This solves the issue where multiple schemas with tables of the same name caused the subquery to return more than one row, leading to the error:

ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression

This change ensures that the subquery retrieves results only from the correct schema, avoiding conflicts in databases with multiple schemas.

List of Breaking Changes

No breaking changes. This PR simply adjusts a subquery for more precise query generation in PostgreSQL.


Thanks to @nachocab for the previous work on this issue in PR #12568. The current PR builds upon the valuable solution provided there, specifically addressing the subquery error in PostgreSQL when handling multiple schemas. The fix introduced, adding a condition to ensure only the correct schema is queried, continues to improve query precision and avoid errors in complex database environments. Your contribution laid the groundwork for this improvement, and it’s highly appreciated!

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected table metadata retrieval so column comments are matched to the correct schema.
    • Prevented comments from identically named tables in different schemas from being incorrectly combined.
    • describeTable now returns the column comments belonging to the requested schema, improving accuracy when tables share names across schemas.

@dorlanpabon the change looks good, but it would be better if you could add an integration test as well to reproduce the error you mention in the description. Could you add that?

The PostgreSQL describeTableQuery comment lookup now matches table names and schemas. Unit and integration tests cover multiple schema configurations and same-named tables.

The comment subquery now requires c.table_schema = st.schemaname. Query expectations include this condition across schema configurations. Integration tests verify distinct comments for same-named tables in different schemas.

Adds the integration test requested in review. Two schemas each define a
table of the same name with a commented column at the same ordinal
position, which is what made the "Comment" subquery return more than one
row.

The assertion checks that each schema gets *its own* comment rather than
just that the call does not throw: when only one of the two tables carries
a comment the subquery returns a single row, so the query succeeds while
silently reporting the other schema's comment. A "does not throw" test
would pass against that bug.

Add the dialect teaser to the test description.

Use Support.getTestDialectTeaser() in this dialect-specific test description. This identifies the active dialect in test output.

Use test hooks for the schema and table lifecycle. The existing beforeEach only assigns this.queryInterface; it does not cover this test’s createSchema or sync({ force: true }) calls. Add test-scoped beforeEach setup and afterEach cleanup for the created schema and tables. Do not close the shared this.sequelize instance from this test.

Use the dialect teaser in this test description.

This test has dialect-specific assertions. Wrap its description with Support.getTestDialectTeaser().

Proposed fix
-      it('reads the comment of the requested schema when two schemas share a table name', async function () {
+      it(Support.getTestDialectTeaser('reads the comment of the requested schema when two schemas share a table name'), async function () {
