Problem

Importing a CSV into an existing table fails if any row conflicts with a primary key or unique constraint. Because rows are inserted in batches, the whole batch containing that row is rejected. Earlier batches may already be committed, and the error toast doesn't say how many rows made it in. To re-import a file that partially overlaps existing data, users have to clean it up by hand first.

Related discussion: https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/49685

Solution

Add an opt-in Skip conflicting rows toggle to CSV import (upload and paste) for existing tables. It's off by default and hidden when creating a new table.

  • insertQuery in pg-meta gets onConflict: 'ignore' (targetless ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, covering every primary key and unique constraint) and returning: 'count', so each batch reports how many rows were actually inserted.
  • The result toast shows "X rows imported, Y skipped". Other errors (type, foreign key, check, NOT NULL, RLS) still stop the import, and the toast now says how many rows were committed before it stopped.
  • Also fixed: table rows refresh after a partial failure, and a failed import during table creation no longer ends with a success toast.
conflicting-rows-shot

Possible future work: upserts, choosing a conflict target, and downloading rejected rows.

This overlaps with #47099, which also edits the import helpers in SidePanelEditor.utils.tsx. I'm happy to rebase if it lands first.

Review instructions

You can use public.page table in a fresh local database, or create a custom table just for this test.

  1. Open public.page in the Table Editor, choose Insert → Import data from CSV, and paste:

    id,path,type,content
    9001,/docs/guides/a,guide,First insert
    9002,/docs/guides/b,guide,Second insert
    9001,/docs/guides/c,guide,Duplicate id
    9003,/docs/guides/a,guide,Duplicate path
    
  2. Import with the toggle off. The import fails with "0 rows imported, 0 skipped", and nothing is added.

  3. Enable Skip conflicting rows and import again. The toast reports "2 rows imported, 2 skipped".

  4. Import the same CSV again with the toggle on. Every row now conflicts, so the toast reports "0 rows imported, 4 skipped".

  5. Insert a row through the grid. Its generated id follows the imported ones.

  6. Start creating a new table from a CSV. The toggle isn't shown.

Tests added:

  • Unit and component tests: SpreadsheetImportInsert.utils.test.ts, SpreadsheetImport.test.tsx, SidePanelEditor.utils.import.test.ts, tests/components/Editor/SpreadsheetImport.utils.test.ts
  • SQL tests against Postgres: packages/pg-meta/test/query/insert-count.test.ts
  • E2E test for upload and paste: e2e/studio/features/csv-conflicts.spec.ts

📝 Walkthrough

CSV and pasted-row imports now support optional conflict skipping for existing tables and return structured counts and failure details. The UI tracks import settings and pending submissions. pg-meta generates counted insert queries with optional conflict handling.

Changes: Spreadsheet import flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Counted insert query support
packages/pg-meta/src/query/Query.utils.ts, packages/pg-meta/test/query/insert-count.test.ts
insertQuery supports conflict ignoring and returns the number of inserted rows. Integration tests cover conflict handling and counted inserts.
Import engine and result reporting
apps/studio/components/interfaces/TableGridEditor/SidePanelEditor/SpreadsheetImport/SpreadsheetImport.types.ts, .../SpreadsheetImportInsert.utils.ts, .../SpreadsheetImport.utils.tsx, apps/studio/tests/components/Editor/SpreadsheetImport.utils.test.ts, .../SpreadsheetImportInsert.utils.test.ts
Shared utilities parse and format input, insert rows in batches, track inserted and skipped counts, classify failures, and update identity sequences. Result types and messages describe import outcomes.
Import settings and form submission
.../SpreadsheetImport.tsx, .../SpreadSheetImportConfiguration.tsx, .../SpreadsheetImportPreview.tsx, .../SpreadsheetImport.fixtures.ts, .../SpreadsheetImport.test.tsx, .../SpreadSheetTextInput.tsx, apps/studio/components/interfaces/TableGridEditor/SidePanelEditor/TableEditor/TableEditor.types.ts
The form stores the conflict-skipping option, disables controls during submission, and passes the option to imports of selected tables. The configuration and preview reflect the setting.
Import integration and partial outcomes
apps/studio/components/interfaces/TableGridEditor/SidePanelEditor/SidePanelEditor.tsx, .../SidePanelEditor.utils.tsx, .../SidePanelEditor.utils.createTable.test.ts, .../SidePanelEditor.utils.import.test.ts, .../SidePanelEditor.utils.test.ts, e2e/studio/features/csv-conflicts.spec.ts
Table creation and existing-table imports use the shared insertion utilities. The side panel reports structured outcomes and invalidates row queries after successful or partially committed imports. Tests cover creation failures and upload and paste workflows.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the fallback within the sequence’s range.

If an unused descending identity sequence receives its first explicit imported ID of -1, pg_sequence_last_value(...) returns NULL. The new fallback makes GREATEST(-1, 1) select 1. A descending sequence can have a maximum of -1, so setval fails after the row was inserted. The previous query selected -1. Use the imported value as the fallback for an unread sequence, and account for sequence direction when comparing existing values. (doxygen.postgresql.org)
