because the interface attempts to "re-submit all" of the properties of the existing table for alteration,
That should not happen at all. There's a lot of effort taken to identify only changes, and submit only these changes.
if you want to change any one property of a table, you need to re-apply all properties. This has the undesired side-effect of failing *any* modification to a table if any of the other *existing* properties fail to qualify for re-applying through ALTERing.
For instance, I have a table containing a column with a default value.
When I try to use pgAdmin3 to add(modify) a(the) comment to that table, the operation fails with the message.
ERROR: Adding columns with defaults is not implementd...
This is silly bacause my intent was not to add a column. I think this may be a user-interface design limitation.
Please state exactly what you are doing, because what you're describing here shouldn't happen at all.
