Research direction

Start from the PostgreSQL extension's context-menu commands for database objects and map which object types already expose scripting actions. Check how constraints, columns, triggers, and other objects register their menu items. Done means the requested Script As Drop and Create, Script As Create, Script As Alter, and trigger enable/disable options are available where applicable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  1. For near every object it would be convenient to have "Script As Drop and Create" menu item
  2. Constraints objects missing "Script As Create"
  3. It would be nice to "Script As Alter" for columns
  4. Menu items for triggers "Disable trigger" / "Enable trigger"
