* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.

* [PATCH v8] using indexscan to speedup add not null constraints @ 2025-10-20 05:29 jian he <jian.universality@gmail.com> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 283+ messages in thread From: jian he @ 2025-10-20 05:29 UTC (permalink / raw) This patch tries to use index_beginscan() / index_getnext() / index_endscan() mentioned in [1] to speedup adding not-null constraints to the existing table. The main logic happens in phase3 ATRewriteTable 1. collect all not-null constraints. 2. For each not-null constraint, check whether there is a corresponding index available for validation. If not, then can not use indexscan to verify not-null constraints. 3. If any of the following conditions are true * table scan or rewrite is required, * table wasn't locked with `AccessExclusiveLock` * the NOT NULL constraint applies to a virtual generated column then index scan cannot be used for fast validation. 4. If all conditions are satisfied, attempt to use indexscan to verify whether the column contains any NULL values. concurrency concern: ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL will take an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, so there is less variant of racing issue can occur? to prove accurate, I wrote some isolation tests. see[2] performance: demo: case when: %20 percent values are NULL and have been deleted from heap but they still on the index. drop table if exists t; create unlogged table t(a int, b int) with (autovacuum_enabled = off, vacuum_index_cleanup=off); insert into t select case when g % 5 = 0 then null else g end, g+1 from generate_series(1,1_000_000) g; create index t_idx_a on t(a); delete from t where a is null; alter table t alter column a drop not null; alter table t add constraint t1 not null a; the above two statement running several times: patch Time:: 1.084 ms master Time: 12.045 ms references: [1] https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoa5NKz8iGW_9v7wz%3D-%2BzQFu%3DE4SZoaTaU1znLaEXRYp-Q%40mail.gmail.com [2] https://postgr.es/m/900056D1-32DF-4927-8251-3E0C0DC407FD%40anarazel.de discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACJufxFiW=4k1is=F1J=r-Cx1RuByXQPUrWB331U47rSnGz+hw@mail.gmail.com commitfest entry: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5444 --- src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c | 116 +++++++++- src/backend/executor/execIndexing.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++ src/include/executor/executor.h | 2 + .../expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out | 97 ++++++++ src/test/isolation/isolation_schedule | 1 + .../specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec | 45 ++++ src/test/modules/test_misc/meson.build | 1 + .../t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl | 163 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/expected/indexscan-check-notnull.out create mode 100644 src/test/isolation/specs/indexscan-check-notnull.spec create mode 100644 src/test/modules/test_misc/t/011_indexscan_validate_notnull.pl diff --git a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c index f976c0e5c7e..2af06630b35 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c @@ -210,16 +210,19 @@ typedef struct AlteredTableInfo List *changedStatisticsDefs; /* string definitions of same */ } AlteredTableInfo; -/* Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan */ -/* Note: new not-null constraints are handled elsewhere */ +/* + * Struct describing one new constraint to check in Phase 3 scan.
