MCPDBWizard for Postgres 2.0.33
Generated output changes. Upgrade, and regenerate your servers. Pressing Start on the console
regenerates a server from its config, so restarting each server after pulling the new image is
enough.

Changes an MCP client will notice
- Some tool names change. A tool name may be 64 characters at most, and a longer one used to
be cut to its first 55 characters plus a hash. Postgres tool names carry the schema and
identifiers can be 63 bytes long, so the cut often fell inside the table name, and every tool
on a long-named table ended in the same..._<table fragment>_<hash>. The descriptions were the
only way to tell them apart. A long name is now its first 23 characters, the same 8-digit hash,
and its last 31 characters, so the operation stays at the end:
dbhell_longusernamexxxx_c1bc51b2_ablexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_get_by_pk. Only names that 2.0.32
shortened change: a name of 64 characters or fewer is exactly as before. If a client, a prompt
or an allow-list names a shortened tool, update it after regenerating. - Timestamps keep their microseconds. Over MCP a
timestampused to cross with milliseconds
only, in both directions, so.123456came back as.123. Worse, a lookup keyed on a value that
get_by_pkhad just returned could miss the row. Timestamps now cross at full precision. They
are written with every digit down to the last non-zero one, never fewer than three, and a
timestamp parameter now accepts the JDBC form (2026-11-03 10:55:00.123456) as well as ISO. A
value in whole milliseconds reads and writes exactly as before. - A row set holds at most 10,000 rows by default, as on Oracle. A routine returning a
refcursor used to return every row. A tool returning a bigger cursor now returns its first
10,000. - No
rowInserton a view that cannot take one. An aggregate view or a materialized view used
to get an insert tool that could only fail. A tool is now generated only when Postgres says the
relation accepts INSERT (pg_relation_is_updatable). A simple view keeps its insert tool. - Multi-row lookups come back in primary-key order, as on Oracle. Index and foreign-key child
lookups had noORDER BYbefore, so their rows came back in whatever order the server chose. - Errors from table and statement tools name the SQLSTATE, ending
(SQLSTATE 23502)as routine
errors already did. - A statement parameter hinted with a Postgres type now gets that type. A hint such as
? /* pKey uuid */or/* pId bigint */used to be ignored, so the parameter was whatever
the server inferred, often text. It now declares the type, and the server checks the statement
against it when the server is generated. A hint that names no type, or one the statement cannot
take, stops that statement being generated, with a warning, rather than failing on its first
call. Hints using the Oracle words (STRING,NUMBER,DATE) behave as before.
New
- Lookups through expression indexes. A table indexed on
upper(name),date_trunc(...)or a
field of a composite column now gets a lookup tool per such index. It used to get none for those
indexes, and a table whose only indexes were expression indexes got no lookups at all. The
tool's arguments are named for the index's columns (upper,building_no) and typed by the
expression, and the query is written so that the index can serve it. A unique index returns one
row, any other index an array. This adds tools to any schema that has an expression index.
Fixed
- Array subscripts survive a round trip. A Postgres array can start at 0, at a negative
subscript, or anywhere else ([5:7]={...}). The generated collection classes and array fields
in records used to drop the lower bound, so keys 0..2 came back as 1..3 and writing the value
back moved them. Both now keep the lower bound in each direction. The JSON shape over MCP is
unchanged. - An array of composites can be passed in. Its tool's schema asked for an array of strings,
which the server then refused, so the tool could not be called at all. It now takes an array of
objects with the composite's attributes. A timestamp attribute on the way out is its wall-clock
value, not a UTC instant. - A key read from a
timestamp(0)column finds its row again. A column with a declared
precision rounds what it stores, so a row inserted with12:34:56.789(stored as12:34:57)
could not be found, updated or deleted by the key it was inserted with. Keys are now rounded to
the column's own precision. - A null compared with a number works. A null parameter of unknown type was bound as text,
which Postgres refuses to compare with a numeric (42883). It is now bound untyped. - Statements that stopped a config compiling:
- a statement with a quoted identifier or alias (
"Sequence Owner") was skipped; - DDL,
ANALYZEandSAVEPOINTstatements were skipped too, and now run as written; - a statement Postgres could not describe was skipped but still referenced, so the whole server
failed to compile. It is now left out with a warning; - a parameter named
1produced Java that did not compile; - a config with SQL statements but no routines generated a server that did not compile.
- a statement with a quoted identifier or alias (
- Two foreign keys of the same name pointing at one table, which Postgres allows because
constraint names are unique per table, produced two methods and two tools of one name, and the
server did not compile. The second is now named for its child table as well.
Upgrading. Pull 2.0.33 and restart each server from the console, which regenerates it. No
config change and no database change. Supported Postgres versions are unchanged: 16, 17 and 18.
