208-219: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 TrivialConsider bounding the row fetch for
maybeSingle().Previously, the
application/vnd.pgrst.object+jsonAccept header let PostgREST reject a multi-row match with a 406 without emitting the full matching row set. After this change,maybeSingle()fetches the request as a plain list and the client discards extra rows only after the whole response body arrives (seepostgrest_builder.dartlines 493-511).If a filter unexpectedly matches many rows (a bug, or a column that turns out not to be unique), the client now transfers, decodes, and buffers the entire result set before throwing the
PGRST116error. Consider appending a.limit(2)override to the query when it does not already carry one, so the multi-row detection still works while bounding the worst-case payload size.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Bug fix.
What is the current behavior?
maybeSingle()only avoids theapplication/vnd.pgrst.object+jsonAccept header for GET requests. For every other method, for example.insert(...).select().maybeSingle()or an update, the header is still sent, so a request matching zero rows makes PostgREST answer with a real 406 that shows up in the project's API logs. The client then swallows that 406 by string-matchingResults contain 0 rowsin the error details.This is the remaining half of #560, which the previous workaround explicitly called out as unfixed:
supabase-flutter/packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_transform_builder.dart
Lines 209 to 210 in effc37d
What is the new behavior?
maybeSingle()no longer overrides the Accept header at all. The result is fetched as a plain JSON list for every request method and the at-most-one-row constraint is enforced client-side: one row resolves to that row, zero rows resolve tonull, and more than one row throws a 406PostgrestApiExceptionwith error codePGRST116, mirroring PostgREST's own error. No 406 ever reaches the server, so nothing pollutes the API logs.This matches how supabase-js fixed the same problem (supabase/postgrest-js#361), and it allows removing the brittle
_handleMaybeSingleErrorfallback that string-matched error details.The synthesized multiple-rows error now also carries
errorCode: 'PGRST116', which the previous client-side error left unset.Additional context
The mock tests in
maybe_single_test.dartsimulated the old server-generated 406 responses and were rewritten to cover the new behavior: no Accept override for reads or writes, zero rows withcount()resolving tonulldata and count 0, a client-side 406 on a multi-row write, and a genuine server error surfacing unchanged.Summary by CodeRabbit
