Re: suspected behavior with upgrade scenario : pagadmin 8.8

Hi,

We could think of avoiding duplicates if a server is already added on the basis of server properties.

Hi Usman,
Once you install PostgreSQL 16 in your system and on opening pgAdmin 4, it auto-detects the postgres servers installed in your system. 

So that duplicate server you are saying is auto detected and the other one you added manually. 

To confirm this you can check by going through the steps, Select PostgreSQL 16>Properties tab>Comments Field, It must be showing `Auto-detected PostgreSQL 16 installation with the data directory at <your data directory of PGv16>`. And the server you added manually does not show any such comments of auto-detection.

If you still have any doubts please let me know.

Hi Hackers,

I am verifying build on windows 11 and during upgrade I faced the following 

1) I installed pgadmin 8.7 and added postgresql16 to it. 

2) I downloaded pgadmin 8.8 and performed an upgrade on 8.7. Upgrade went fine.

3) When I collapsed the server group, it showed another server added with the name 'Postgresql 16' and it is an exact duplicate of the server already added to pgadmin.

In my opinion, this behaviour should be investigated and corrected. The detail of the platform is as follows

platform: windows 11 Home

packages: pgadmin 8.7 and 8.8

The snapshot is attached for more information.
