PostGraphile version: 4.2.0

I have a table with PRIMARY KEY (first, second, third). This generates CRUD operations like updateTableByFirstAndSecondAndThird.

How to rename all the table's C(R)UD operations to e.g. updateTableByFirst, preserving the db schema's triple primary key?

I've tried smart commenting (COMMENT ON CONSTRAINT "table_pkey" ON "table" IS E'@fieldName tableByFirst';) but this only touches the Read operation -> query tableByFirst.

You can override the inflector for this mutation type and make it whatever you like; here’s the docs on that:

https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/inflection/

I think what might work for you is to rename the mutations that use the primary key only; e.g. updateFooByPk; this is actually a smart idea anyway; I think I might add this to pg-simplify-inflector.

Another option is to use the updateTable(nodeId: ...) mutation.
