Step 2 of #731.

Problem

An editor tab's statements went to whichever pooled connection was free. So anything tied to the server session could land on a connection where it didn't exist, and silently not be there:

  • SET @var and SET SESSION …
  • temporary tables
  • a transaction begun in one run and committed in the next

DBeaver, DataGrip, Workbench and pgAdmin all bind a tab or console to one session.

Shown, not assumed: the new live tests fail against the old routing. With sessions pointed back at the shared pool, 7 of the 9 fail: the temporary table is gone, the transaction doesn't span runs, the variable leaks between tabs, and so on.

Change

Backend

  • ConnectionManager keeps a session per tab: a one-connection pool, opened on the tab's first statement. It is never recycled while the tab is open (no idle timeout, no max lifetime), since recycling it is exactly the state loss this fixes. It uses the same session setup as every lane, so its threads count as the app's own.
  • Route::Session(tab) sits beside Route::Lane(..).
  • execute_query and explain_query take an optional session. Explain has to run on the session too, or EXPLAIN SELECT … FROM tmp can't see the tab's temporary table.
  • New command close_session ends a tab's session. The server then rolls back anything the tab left uncommitted, as closing a tab does in any client. Disconnect closes every session.
  • Cancel still reaches a tab's statement. KILL QUERY leaves the session alive, so the tab keeps its state.
  • A second statement on a busy tab now reads "This tab is still running its previous statement…", not "pool timed out" or "raise Max pool size".
  • The interactive-lane message from fix(connection): say what is holding the pool, not just that it is full #727 now says "queries" rather than "editor queries", because the editor no longer runs there.

Frontend

  • The editor passes the active query tab's id as its session: Run, Run All, Explain, Explain Analyze and the toolbar. It's carried through the production confirmation, paging (page 2 is read where page 1 was) and re-planning.
  • lib/server-sessions.ts ends a session when its tab closes or moves to another connection. It uses one editorStore subscription, which starts with the first session, rather than a call in each of Close, Close Others, Close to the Right, the last-tab replacement and connection switching.
  • Everything that isn't an editor tab (schema tree, designer, dialogs, history re-run, grid cell edits) still runs on the shared pool. SQLite ignores session, since it has no server sessions.

Behaviour to know

  • Server connections: each tab that has run something holds one connection until it closes. That matches other clients. A tab that never ran a statement costs nothing.
  • USE: the tab's database selector still wins. Each run starts with USE <tab database> as before, so a USE other typed in an earlier run is reset on the next one.
  • Grid cell edits run on the shared pool, not the tab's session. If a tab holds an open transaction with row locks, an edit to those rows waits on it. Routing grid edits through the session is a sensible follow-up, but it's out of scope here.
  • A dropped connection: if the server drops a tab's connection, it reconnects on the next run and the session state is lost. Any client behaves the same way.

Verification

Run locally against MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 11:

  • New tests/editor_sessions.rs (9 live tests):
    • variables and temporary tables survive five runs;
    • tabs are isolated from each other;
    • a transaction spans runs and isn't visible outside the tab until COMMIT;
    • close_session rolls back and releases row locks;
    • a tab runs while the shared pool is full;
    • a busy tab is reported as busy;
    • Cancel stops a tab's statement and the session survives;
    • EXPLAIN sees the tab's temporary table;
    • sessions are known as the app's own and close on disconnect.
  • Full live suite via just test-integration: passes on both servers.
  • Rust: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings, just test-rust and the bindings regeneration all pass. bindings.ts changes only by the new session parameters and closeSession.
  • Frontend: tsc, dprint check and eslint (0 errors; the 162 warnings were already there) pass, and vitest has 2970 passing tests. New tests:
    • lib/__tests__/server-sessions.test.ts: close rules, plus a real closeTab ending the session;
    • resultStore: paging, confirmation and explain keep the session.
  • Committed with --no-verify: the lefthook unit-tests hook fails locally only on src/__tests__/main.test.tsx, a 10s hook timeout. It fails identically on untouched main in this environment and passes with a longer timeout (4/4 in 15s). CI's Test Frontend is the check that counts.

A tab's statements went to whichever pooled connection was free, so
anything tied to the session -- SET @var, SET SESSION, a temporary
table, a transaction begun in one run and committed in the next --
could land on a connection where it did not exist, and silently not be
there (#731). Other clients bind a tab or console to one session.

Backend: ConnectionManager keeps per-tab sessions, one-connection pools
opened on the tab's first statement and never recycled while it is open
(no idle timeout, no max lifetime), with the same session setup as every
lane. Route::Session sits beside the lanes; execute_query and
explain_query take an optional session, and close_session ends one --
the server rolls back what the tab left uncommitted. Disconnect closes
them all. Cancel still reaches a tab's statement (KILL QUERY leaves the
session alive). A busy tab now says so instead of "pool timed out".
The interactive-lane message says "queries" rather than "editor
queries", since the editor no longer runs there.

Frontend: the editor passes the active query tab's id as its session,
through execution, the production confirmation, paging and explain.
lib/server-sessions.ts ends a session when its tab closes or moves to
another connection, from one editor-store subscription that starts with
the first session. Everything that is not an editor tab still runs on
the shared pool.

Step 2 of #731.

…r test

The SQLEditor browser test pinned the old three-argument call. The action
now passes the active query tab's id as its session (#731), with no
format of its own.
