Summary

  • When the Query Tool's connection had been changed to another user or role and was then lost, the main connection was reopened with a bare connect() in query_tool_connection_check(), check_transaction_status() and _check_and_connect() (save), so it logged in as the server's own user and queries silently ran as a different role. All three now go through a new connect_as_transaction_user() helper that uses the stored conn_user/conn_role, as the autocomplete connection already does since Fix Query Tool autocomplete running as the wrong user, or failing, after changing the connection to a different user. #7619 #10582.
  • The password is still never stored, so if the changed-to user cannot log in with the saved password the reconnect fails. StartRunningQuery.execute() now returns that error to the user, rather than running the query on the dead connection, which only reported it as lost and offered another reconnect.

Test plan

  • New tools.sqleditor.tests.test_reconnect_as_changed_user, plus extra scenarios in test_check_transaction_status_reconnect
  • --pkg tools.sqleditor passes locally (PostgreSQL 18), pycodestyle clean

Closes #10613

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Reconnecting a Query Tool connection uses the transaction’s recorded user or role when available, preserving the intended access context.
    • If a connection cannot be restored before a query runs, the error is returned and the query is not executed.
    • Saving with a requested reconnect returns the connection error instead of continuing without a valid transaction.

Walkthrough

Query Tool reconnect paths use the transaction’s stored user and role when available. Query execution and saving return failure responses when the connection check fails.

The Query Tool reconnects using the transaction identity when available and returns failure rather than proceeding when reconnection fails. The reviewed changes leave no actionable merge-blocking risk.

query_tool_connection_check after reconnecting with connect_as_transaction_user
and before calling _check_and_connect; when the status is false and no response
is available, return the connection-lost service-unavailable response instead of
passing a missing trans_obj to _check_and_connect.

Review comments at
@web/pgadmin/tools/sqleditor/utils/query_tool_connection_check.py:
- Line 37: Update the reconnect helper’s user check to also handle a stored role
when no user is recorded. Retrieve conn_role independently and pass it to
conn.connect alongside the optional user, preserving the existing bare connect
behavior only when neither conn_user nor conn_role exists; add a role-only
reconnect scenario.

…anged to. pgadmin-org#10613

When the Query Tool's connection had been changed to a different user or role
and was then lost, the main connection was re-established with a bare
connect(), logging in as the server's own user, so queries silently ran as a
different role from the one shown. Reconnect with the stored user and role,
as the autocomplete connection already does, and report a failed reconnect
instead of running the query on the dead connection.
