我想在一个Redshift表中添加一个NOT NULL列,该表包含记录,一个IDENTITY字段,以及其他表有外键。
在PostgreSQL中,您可以将列添加为NULL,将其填入,然后将其更改为NOT NULL。
在Redshift中,到目前为止我发现的最好的是:
ALTER TABLE my_table ADD COLUMN new_column INTEGER;
-- Fill that column
CREATE TABLE my_table2 (
id INTEGER IDENTITY NOT NULL SORTKEY,
(... all the fields ... )
new_column INTEGER NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
) DISTSTYLE all;
UNLOAD ('select * from my_table')
to 's3://blah' credentials '<aws-auth-args>' ;
COPY my_table2
from 's3://blah' credentials '<aws-auth-args>'
EXPLICIT_IDS;
DROP table my_table;
ALTER TABLE my_table2 RENAME TO my_table;
-- For each table that had a foreign key to my_table:
ALTER TABLE another_table ADD FOREIGN KEY(my_table_id) REFERENCES my_table(id)
这是实现这一目标的最佳方法吗?
答案 0 :(得分:0)
您无需加载到S3就可以实现此目的。
例如:
-- first add the column w/ a default value
alter table my_table_xyz
add visit_id bigint NOT NULL default 0; -- not null but default value
-- now populate the new column with whatever is appropriate (the key in my case)
update my_table_xyz
set visit_id = key;
-- now create the new table with the proper constraints
create table my_table_xzy_new
(
key bigint not null,
visit_id bigint NOT NULL, -- here it is not null and no default value
adt_id bigint not null
);
-- select all from old into new
insert into my_table_xyz_new
select key, visit_id, adt_id
from my_table_xyz;
-- remove the orig table
DROP table my_table_xzy_events;
-- rename the newly created table to the desired table
alter table my_table_xyz_new rename to my_table_xyz;
-- adjust any views, foreign keys or permissions as required
