Pull request overview
Fixes a PostgreSQL 16+ / 17+ SQL-template bug that could raise “more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression” when a database has non-default LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE, preventing pgAdmin from populating/unlocking the collation/ctype fields in the database create/edit UI.
Changes:
- Rewrote
get_ctypes.sqlfor PG 16+ and 17+ to return rows via guardedUNIONselects (instead of a scalar subquery in aCASEexpression). - Added a 9.16 release note entry referencing Issue #9798.

The 16_plus fix is correct (PG16 has no builtin provider, so <> 'i' ≡ = 'c' in practice). The 17_plus fix is wrong:
SELECT datlocale AS cname … WHERE datlocprovider = 'i'
UNION
SELECT datcollate AS cname … WHERE datlocprovider <> 'i'
UNION
SELECT datctype AS cname … WHERE datlocprovider <> 'i'PG17's datlocprovider has three values: 'c' (libc), 'i' (icu), 'b' (builtin). <> 'i' matches both libc AND builtin. For a builtin-provider database, the locale lives in datlocale — but the locale branch is guarded by = 'i', so datlocale is omitted entirely and datcollate / datctype get returned instead.
The existing properties.sql for 17_plus already treats ICU and builtin identically (reads datlocale for both); this fix should mirror that:
SELECT datlocale … WHERE datlocprovider IN ('i', 'b')
UNION
SELECT datcollate … WHERE datlocprovider = 'c'
UNION
SELECT datctype … WHERE datlocprovider = 'c'Also: no resql test was added for the bug case (libc DB where datcollate != datctype, e.g. en_US.UTF-8 / C) — the regression that prompted #6481 has no automated coverage.

…rg#9798 get_ctypes.sql for PG 16+/17+ wrapped a multi-row UNION inside a scalar subquery in a CASE ELSE branch. When the database is not ICU-based and datcollate != datctype (e.g. LC_COLLATE=C with a different ctype), the scalar subquery returned two rows -> "more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression", which locked the collation input. Rewrite as a flat UNION of guarded SELECTs returning cname rows, matching how the handler already consumes the result (a list of rows). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
PostgreSQL 17 added a third value to datlocprovider, 'b' for the builtin provider, so testing for <> 'i' lumps builtin in with libc. A builtin database keeps its locale in datlocale exactly as an ICU one does, and the datcollate and datctype it carries are merely inherited from its template, so the dialog offered a locale the database does not collate with and omitted the one it does. Verified against PostgreSQL 18: a database created with BUILTIN_LOCALE 'C.UTF-8' from an en_GB.UTF-8 template reported en_GB.UTF-8 before this change and C.UTF-8 after it. This matches 17_plus/properties.sql, which already reads datlocale for both providers. The 16_plus template keeps <> 'i' because PostgreSQL 16 has only the two providers, so there is nothing else for it to match. Tests run the versioned template against a database created with each provider in turn, which also covers the bucket selection, and assert that a libc database reports both its collation and its character type even when they differ, the case that pgadmin-org#9798 came from.
The ICU scenario ran unconditionally, but LOCALE_PROVIDER/ICU_LOCALE on CREATE DATABASE was only added in PostgreSQL 15, so it failed with "option \"locale_provider\" not recognized" against PG14 in CI. The builtin scenario probes with a fixed BUILTIN_LOCALE 'C.UTF-8', and skipped only when template0's own datcollate was exactly 'C' or 'POSIX'. Several CI runners have template0 already on 'C.UTF-8', which is the only UTF-8 locale a builtin database can use, so the created database's locale collided with the template's inherited one and assertNotIn(self.template_collate, reported) failed spuriously. Skip that scenario too when template0 is already 'C.UTF-8'.

Thanks for the catch, @asheshv. The 17_plus query now matches what you outlined: Added Ready for another look. |

…nnot do Three things, all turned up by CI. get_ctypes.sql only existed from the 16_plus bucket down, so a PostgreSQL 15 server fell back to the default template and reported the server's own lc_collate and lc_ctype settings rather than anything about the database, which is exactly the bug this is meant to fix. datlocprovider and daticulocale both arrived in 15, and 15 is also where a database first stopped necessarily collating according to datcollate and datctype, so the template moves down to the 15_plus bucket unchanged rather than being duplicated. The two libc scenarios deliberately set LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE to different values, since that is what proves which of the two columns the query reported. Windows builds accept the CREATE DATABASE but then refuse to open the result, so those two scenarios now skip with the server's own explanation when that is what comes back, and continue to fail on anything else. The builtin scenario no longer skips when template0 uses 'C' or 'POSIX'. That guard belongs to the libc scenarios, which need a template locale distinguishable from the defaults; the builtin scenario distinguishes against the 'C.UTF-8' it creates the database with, and 'C' and 'POSIX' are both perfectly distinguishable from that, so skipping them only lost the scenario on the servers most likely to have a default template0.

Pushed fixes for the failing
The Windows PG18 job was failing for a quite different reason: the two libc scenarios deliberately set @coderabbitai was right about the builtin scenario's skip, so that has gone too; see the inline reply for the reasoning. All four scenarios now run locally with none skipped. |

Summary
Fixes #9798.
Creating/editing a database with a non-default
LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE(e.g.LC_COLLATE=C) failed withmore than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression, which locked the collation input.Root cause:
get_ctypes.sql(PG 16+ and 17+) wrapped a multi-rowUNIONinside a scalar subquery in aCASE ... ELSEbranch. For a non-ICU database wheredatcollate != datctype, that branch returns two rows → scalar-subquery error.Fix: rewrite as a flat
UNIONof guardedSELECTs returningcnamerows (keyed ondatlocprovider), which is exactly what theget_ctypeshandler already expects (it iteratesrset['rows']). This mirrors the pre-16defaulttemplate's flat shape.Changes
