This changes the query that fetches roles from using the
pg_catalog.shobj_description function to using an explicit join on
pg_catalog.pg_shdescription. In my specific case, in a production system with
over 20k roles, this reduces the query time down from 8 minutes(!) down to
~40ms. Just in case it was a locking issue, I did use pg_activity to
investigate locks, and nothing was being blocked during the 8 minutes.
This fixes a problem that exists only for certain users, and specifically in my
case where the user that runs the query is themselves a member (directly and
indirectly) of a high number of roles. Running the existing query as a user
that has a low number of roles (and specifically, the master user in an AWS RDS
database), the existing query is fairly performant.
My best explanation as to the performance difference comes from the definition
of shobj_description
2a8a00674e/src/backend/catalog/system_functions.sql (L303-L312).
Each time it's called it runs a query against pg_shdescription and pg_class,
and so in my case runs 20k times, compared to the equivalent of once when doing
the explicit join on pg_shdescription. It should also be noted that in my case
pg_class is quite big - currently about 500k rows (although it has grown to ~5
million in the past, but that was borderline a mistake).

EXPLAIN ANALYZE results of the existing query and the updated query.
1. Replace the current layout library wcDocker with ReactJS based rc-dock. #6479
2. Have close buttons on individual panel tabs instead of common. #2821
3. Changes in the context menu on panel tabs - Add close, close all and close others menu items. #5394
4. Allow closing all the tabs, including SQL and Properties. #4733
5. Changes in docking behaviour of different tabs based on user requests and remove lock layout menu.
6. Fix an issue where the scroll position of panels was not remembered on Firefox. #2986
7. Reset layout now will not require page refresh and is done spontaneously.
8. Use the zustand store for storing preferences instead of plain JS objects. This will help reflecting preferences immediately.
9. The above fix incorrect format (no indent) of SQL stored functions/procedures. #6720
10. New version check is moved to an async request now instead of app start to improve startup performance.
11. Remove jQuery and Bootstrap completely.
12. Replace jasmine and karma test runner with jest. Migrate all the JS test cases to jest. This will save time in writing and debugging JS tests.
13. Other important code improvements and cleanup.
1. Use concise character class syntax
2. Add a "break" statement or remove this "else" clause.
3. Replace this generic exception class with a more specific one.
4. Use a regular expression literal instead of the 'RegExp' constructor.
5. Use the opposite operator ("not in") instead.
1) From PG 15 onward, the datlastsysoid has been removed from the table pg_database.
We have added the constant _DATABASE_LAST_SYSTEM_OID = 16383, all the objects below
this value are considered to be system objects. Modified the pgAdmin logic accordingly.
2) Concatenation operator '||' needs a specific typecast to be applied to query variables. Modified SQL's accordingly.
