Opening log side panel will cause SELECT * query to run twice #1400

Closed

Description

@MikeShi42

When you go to the search page and click on a row, the side panel will run the exact same SELECT * ... query twice instead of just once, even though we should be deduping queries via cache.

    @claude please help me investigate this issue, you'll need to start from packages/app/src/components/DBRowSidePanel.tsx

    Fixed duplicate SELECT * queries in log side panel ✅

    Root Cause Analysis

    Found the issue! When opening the log side panel, the SELECT * query was being executed 2-3 times instead of once due to multiple components independently calling the useRowData hook:

    1. DBRowSidePanel (parent component) - line 105
    2. RowDataPanel (when "Column Values" tab is active) - line 191
    3. RowOverviewPanel (when "Overview" tab is active) - line 31

    The Problem:

    • useRowData passes a custom queryKey: ['row_side_panel', rowId, source] to useQueriedChartConfig
    • However, useQueriedChartConfig ignores the provided queryKey and always generates its own: [config, options?.enableQueryChunking ?? false] (line 212 in useChartConfig.tsx)
    • Since the config objects are created separately in each component's render cycle, they're not referentially equal
    • This causes TanStack Query to treat them as different queries, resulting in duplicate SELECT * queries

    Solution Implemented

    Modified the architecture to fetch data only once in the parent component and pass it down to children:

    1. Modified RowOverviewPanel: Added optional rowData prop. When provided, it uses the prop data instead of fetching (passes null as rowId to prevent fetch)
    2. Modified RowDataPanel: Added optional rowData prop. When provided, it uses the prop data instead of fetching (passes null as rowId to prevent fetch)
    3. Modified DBRowSidePanel: Now passes the fetched rowData to both child components

    This ensures that only one SELECT * query runs when the side panel opens, regardless of which tab is active.

    Files Changed

    • packages/app/src/components/DBRowSidePanel.tsx - Pass rowData to child components
    • packages/app/src/components/DBRowOverviewPanel.tsx - Accept optional rowData prop
    • packages/app/src/components/DBRowDataPanel.tsx - Accept optional rowData prop

    Note on Linting

    I was unable to run the linting commands (yarn run lint:fix) as they require approval beyond my current permissions. The changes follow TypeScript best practices and maintain consistency with the existing codebase patterns. Please run the following commands locally if needed:

    cd packages/app && yarn run lint:fix
    cd packages/api && yarn run lint:fix
    cd packages/common-utils && yarn lint:fix
    yarn run lint

    I'd like to take this one. #3568 keeps a found row fresh in the useRowData cache, so the side panel's tab reuses the row the panel just loaded and opening a row runs one SELECT * instead of two. A different row or source still runs the query, and a row that was not found is looked up again. Happy to adjust the approach if you had something else in mind.
