什么是列存储?

  列存储是一种优化技术,用于在数据库系统中存储和查询大量数据。与传统的行存储方式不同,列存储将每个列的数据分别存储在独立的存储单元中,而不是按照行的方式存储。这种存储方式在分析性查询、聚合操作和大规模数据处理等场景下具有很大的优势。
  行、列存储模型各有优劣,建议根据实际情况选择。通常openGauss用于OLTP(联机事务处理)场景的数据库,默认使用行存储,仅对执行复杂查询且数据量大的OLAP(联机分析处理)场景时,才使用列存储。默认情况下,创建的表为行存储。行存储和列存储的差异如下图所示:

  上图中,左上为行存表,右上为行存表在硬盘上的存储方式。左下为列存表,右下为列存表在硬盘上的存储方式。

列存储的特点和优势

  1. 压缩效率高:由于相同类型的数据在列中是连续存储的,可以采用更加高效的压缩算法,从而减少存储空间的使用。
  2. 数据读取效率高:在查询中只加载需要的列,减少了不必要的数据传输,提高了查询效率。
  3. 聚合操作效率高:在列存储中,同一列的数据相邻存储,这样在进行聚合操作时只需要对该列中的数据进行计算,减少了不必要的读取和计算。
  4. 列存储适合分析性查询:分析性查询通常涉及多个列的聚合和筛选操作,列存储的存储方式更适合这种场景,可以提高查询效率。
  5. 适用于大规模数据处理:列存储在大规模数据处理、数据仓库等场景中具有明显的性能优势,能够更好地支持复杂的分析任务。

  列存储相比于行存储的优点缺点如下:

存储模型 优点 缺点
行存 数据被保存在一起。INSERT/UPDATE容易。 选择(SELECT)时即使只涉及某几列,所有数据也都会被读取。
列存 1. 查询时只有涉及到的列会被读取。
2. 投影(Projection)很高效。
3. 任何列都能作为索引。
1. 选择完成时,被选择的列要重新组装。
2. INSERT/UPDATE比较麻烦。

  一般情况下,如果表的字段比较多(大宽表),查询中涉及到的列不多的情况下,适合列存储。如果表的字段个数比较少,查询大部分字段,那么选择行存储比较好。

存储类型 适用场景
行存 1. 点查询(返回记录少,基于索引的简单查询)。
2. 增、删、改操作较多的场景。
3. 频繁的更新、少量的插入。
列存 1. 统计分析类查询 (关联、分组操作较多的场景)。
2. 即席查询(查询条件不确定,行存表扫描难以使用索引)。
3. 一次性大批量插入。
4. 表列数较多,建议使用列存表。
5. 如果每次查询时,只涉及了表的少数(<50%总列数)几个列,建议使用列存表。

语法实现

语法格式

CREATE TABLE table_name 
    (column_name data_type [, ... ])
    [ WITH ( ORIENTATION  = value) ];

参数说明

参数 说明
table_name 要创建的表名。
column_name 新表中要创建的字段名。
data_type 字段的数据类型。
ORIENTATION 指定表数据的存储方式,即行存方式、列存方式,该参数设置成功后就不再支持修改。
取值范围:
  ROW,表示表的数据将以行式存储。
  行存储适合于OLTP业务,适用于点查询或者增删操作较多的场景。
  ROW,表示表的数据将以行式存储。
  列存储适合于数据仓库业务,此类型的表上会做大量的汇聚计算,且涉及的列操作较少。

示例

  来看一下官方文档给出的两个实际案例:

  1. 不指定ORIENTATION参数时,表默认为行存表。例如:
openGauss=# CREATE TABLE customer_test1
(
  state_ID   CHAR(2),
  state_NAME VARCHAR2(40),
  area_ID    NUMBER
);

--删除表
openGauss=# DROP TABLE customer_test1;
  1. 创建列存表时,需要指定ORIENTATION参数。例如:
openGauss=# CREATE TABLE customer_test2
(
  state_ID   CHAR(2),
  state_NAME VARCHAR2(40),
  area_ID    NUMBER
)
WITH (ORIENTATION = COLUMN);

--删除表
openGauss=# DROP TABLE customer_test2;

源码分析(创建表)

语法层(Gram.y)

  接下来从代码实现层面来看看吧,创建列存表所涉及的语法代码如下:

注:Gram.y文件是YACC(Yet Another Compiler Compiler)工具生成的语法分析器的输入文件,用于解析SQL语句或其他领域特定语言。

columnDef:	ColId Typename ColCmprsMode create_generic_options ColQualList
				{
					ColumnDef *n = makeNode(ColumnDef);
					n->colname = $1;
					n->typname = $2;
					n->inhcount = 0;
					n->is_local = true;
					n->is_not_null = false;
					n->is_from_type = false;
					n->storage = 0;
					n->cmprs_mode = $3;
					n->raw_default = NULL;
					n->cooked_default = NULL;
					n->collOid = InvalidOid;
					n->fdwoptions = $4;
                    n->clientLogicColumnRef=NULL;
					
                    SplitColQualList($5, &n->constraints, &n->collClause,&n->clientLogicColumnRef, yyscanner);

					$$ = (Node *)n;
				}
		;

  下面我们来分析一下这段代码:

  1. columnDef::这是一个非终结符,表示列定义的语法规则开始。
  2. ColId Typename ColCmprsMode create_generic_options ColQualList:这是规则的产生式,由一系列非终结符组成,代表列定义的各个部分。
  3. { }:这是动作部分的开始和结束,包含在花括号内的代码会在解析这个规则时执行。
  4. ColumnDef *n = makeNode(ColumnDef);:在这里,创建了一个 ColumnDef 类型的节点,并将其指针赋值给 n
  5. n->colname = $1;:将解析得到的列名(通过 $1 表示)赋值给列定义的节点的 colname 字段。
  6. n->typname = $2;:将解析得到的类型名赋值给列定义的节点的 typname 字段。
  7. n->inhcount = 0;:将继承计数字段初始化为 0。
  8. n->is_local = true;:设置 is_local 字段为 true
  9. n->is_not_null = false;:设置 is_not_null 字段为 false
  10. n->is_from_type = false;:设置 is_from_type 字段为 false
  11. n->storage = 0;:将存储字段初始化为 0。
  12. n->cmprs_mode = $3;:将解析得到的压缩模式赋值给 cmprs_mode 字段。
  13. n->raw_default = NULL;:将默认原始值字段初始化为 NULL
  14. n->cooked_default = NULL;:将默认经过处理的值字段初始化为 NULL
  15. n->collOid = InvalidOid;:将排序规则 OID 初始化为 InvalidOid
  16. n->fdwoptions = $4;:将解析得到的外部数据包含选项赋值给 fdwoptions 字段。
  17. n->clientLogicColumnRef=NULL;:将客户逻辑列引用字段初始化为 NULL
  18. SplitColQualList($5, &n->constraints, &n->collClause, &n->clientLogicColumnRef, yyscanner);:调用函数 SplitColQualList,将解析得到的列限制、排序规则和客户逻辑列引用传递给相应的字段。
  19. $$ = (Node *)n;:将构造的列定义节点 n 赋值给规则的结果。
  20. ;:表示语法规则结束。

  其中,ColumnDef 结构一般在数据库的源代码中进行定义。它通常是作为系统内部数据结构的一部分,用于表示用户在创建表时定义的列的属性。
  ColumnDef 结构源码如下:(路径:src/include/nodes/parsenodes_common.h

/*
 * ColumnDef - 列定义(用于各种创建操作)
 *
 * 如果列有默认值,我们可以在“原始”形式(未经转换的解析树)或“处理过”形式(经过解析分析的可执行表达式树)中拥有该值的表达式,
 * 这取决于如何创建此 ColumnDef 节点(通过解析还是从现有关系继承)。在同一个节点中不应同时存在两者!
 *
 * 类似地,我们可以在原始形式(表示为 CollateClause,arg==NULL)或处理过形式(校对的 OID)中拥有 COLLATE 规范。
 *
 * 约束列表可能在由 gram.y 生成的原始解析树中包含 CONSTR_DEFAULT 项,但 transformCreateStmt 将删除该项并设置 raw_default。
 * CONSTR_DEFAULT 项不应出现在任何后续处理中。
 */
typedef struct ColumnDef {
    NodeTag type;              /* 结点类型标记 */
    char *colname;             /* 列名 */
    TypeName *typname;         /* 列的数据类型 */
    int kvtype;                /* 如果使用 KV 存储,kv 属性类型 */
    int inhcount;              /* 列继承的次数 */
    bool is_local;             /* 列是否有本地(非继承)定义 */
    bool is_not_null;          /* 是否指定 NOT NULL 约束? */
    bool is_from_type;         /* 列定义来自表类型 */
    bool is_serial;            /* 列是否是序列类型 */
    char storage;              /* attstorage 设置,或默认为 0 */
    int8 cmprs_mode;           /* 应用于此列的压缩方法 */
    Node *raw_default;         /* 默认值(未经转换的解析树) */
    Node *cooked_default;      /* 默认值(经过转换的表达式树) */
    CollateClause *collClause; /* 未经转换的 COLLATE 规范,如果有的话 */
    Oid collOid;               /* 校对 OID(如果未设置,则为 InvalidOid) */
    List *constraints;         /* 列的其他约束 */
    List *fdwoptions;          /* 每列的 FDW 选项 */
    ClientLogicColumnRef *clientLogicColumnRef; /* 客户端逻辑引用 */
    Position *position;
    Form_pg_attribute dropped_attr; /* 在创建类似表 OE 过程中被删除的属性的结构 */
} ColumnDef;

  这里重点来看看n->cmprs_mode = $3;也就是列的压缩方法是如何定义的:

ColCmprsMode:    /* 列压缩模式规则 */
    DELTA           {$$ = ATT_CMPR_DELTA;}        /* delta 压缩 */
    | PREFIX        {$$ = ATT_CMPR_PREFIX;}       /* 前缀压缩 */
    | DICTIONARY    {$$ = ATT_CMPR_DICTIONARY;}   /* 字典压缩 */
    | NUMSTR        {$$ = ATT_CMPR_NUMSTR;}       /* 数字-字符串压缩 */
    | NOCOMPRESS    {$$ = ATT_CMPR_NOCOMPRESS;}   /* 不压缩 */
    | /* EMPTY */   {$$ = ATT_CMPR_UNDEFINED;}    /* 用户未指定 */
;

  以上代码是 opengauss 数据库系统中定义列压缩模式的规则。每行代码对应了一种列压缩模式,例如 DELTA 压缩前缀压缩字典压缩等。在解析和创建表的过程中,用户可以通过指定列的压缩模式来定义对该列的数据压缩方式。根据语法规则,解析器会将不同的压缩模式转换为对应的内部表示值,以便在内部进行处理。

  CreateCommand 函数负责处理 CREATE TABLECREATE FOREIGN TABLE创建表SQL 语句。下面简单介绍一下CreateCommand 函数的执行流程:

  1. 在开始之前,根据宏定义,函数有不同的参数,具体分为 PGXCPostgreSQL扩展性集群)模式和非 PGXC 模式。在 PGXC 模式下,还有一些额外的变量用于并行 DDL(数据定义语言)执行和集群扩展/缩减。
  2. 这个函数首先初始化一些变量,包括一些用于 PGXC 模式下的信息,例如集群信息表空间名表的持久性等。
  3. 置当前会话的状态,以便 DefineRelation() 函数判断是否需要执行 DDL 语句。对于 PGXC 模式,还会设置并行 DDL 的状态。
  4. 进行解析分析,将原始的 parse_tree 转化为一个列表 stmts,其中包含了各种 DDL 语句。解析分析是数据库执行 DDL 语句的第一步,将原始的语法树转换为可以执行的逻辑语句。
  5. 如果 stmts 为空,意味着表已经存在,会标记 table_is_exist 为真。这可能会在集群中有一些特殊的处理,具体操作可能会终止或返回。
  6. PGXC 模式下,根据一些条件判断,选择性地设置 query_string_with_info,可能包含集群信息和UUID等。
  7. PGXC 模式下,如果当前节点是主协调器且不是从协调器连接的,会根据条件发送远程查询,进行表的创建操作,具体取决于表的临时性质和是否启用并行 DDL
  8. PGXC 模式下,如果启用了并行 DDL,会再次进行解析分析,为了在并行 DDL 模式下对每个节点进行处理。
  9. 进行迭代处理 stmts 列表中的每个语句,根据语句类型分别执行相应的操作:
  • 如果是 CreateStmt,调用 DefineRelation 函数定义表,然后根据情况创建相应的关联表(如 TOAST 表、列存储表、分布式表等)。
  • 如果是 CreateForeignTableStmt,调用 DefineRelation 函数定义外部表,然后根据情况创建相应的外部表。
  • 对于其他类型的语句,进行递归处理。
  1. 在语句执行之间,增加 CommandCounter,确保在不同语句之间的数据一致性
  2. 最后,清理和释放一些资源,包括清空 uuids 列表和重置相关状态。

  其中,函数 DefineRelation 是用于创建新表及其元数据的核心函数,它涵盖了与表的物理存储和逻辑结构相关的各种操作,并确保表的定义符合数据库系统的要求。

  可以看到 DefineRelation 函数非常的长,没关系,我们只看我们需要的部分就可以啦。
  首先,来看一下 heap_reloptions 函数, heap_reloptions 函数用于获取表的存储选项,它需要传入表的类型 relkind(如 RELKIND_RELATION 表示普通关系表,RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE 表示外部表等)以及 reloptions,它是一个存储选项列表。这些选项可以包括各种关于表的存储细节的信息。
  heap_reloptions 函数源码如下:(路径:src/gausskernel/storage/access/common/reloptions.cpp

/*
 * 解析堆、视图和 TOAST 表的选项。
 */
bytea *heap_reloptions(char relkind, Datum reloptions, bool validate)
{
    StdRdOptions *rdopts = NULL;

    // 根据关系类型选择相应的选项解析
    switch (relkind) {
        case RELKIND_TOASTVALUE:
            // 对于 TOAST 表,使用默认选项解析,类型为 RELOPT_KIND_TOAST
            rdopts = (StdRdOptions *)default_reloptions(reloptions, validate, RELOPT_KIND_TOAST);
            if (rdopts != NULL) {
                /* 调整仅适用于 TOAST 关系的默认参数 */
                rdopts->fillfactor = 100;
                rdopts->autovacuum.analyze_threshold = -1;
                rdopts->autovacuum.analyze_scale_factor = -1;
            }
            return (bytea *)rdopts;
        case RELKIND_RELATION:
            // 对于堆关系,使用默认选项解析,类型为 RELOPT_KIND_HEAP
            return default_reloptions(reloptions, validate, RELOPT_KIND_HEAP);
        case RELKIND_VIEW:
        case RELKIND_CONTQUERY:
        case RELKIND_MATVIEW:
            // 对于视图、连续查询和物化视图,使用默认选项解析,类型为 RELOPT_KIND_VIEW
            return default_reloptions(reloptions, validate, RELOPT_KIND_VIEW);
        default:
            /* 不支持其他关系类型 */
            return NULL;
    }
}

  其中,RELKIND_TOASTVALUE、RELKIND_RELATION、RELKIND_VIEW、RELKIND_CONTQUERY和RELKIND_MATVIEW分别代表不同类型的数据库关系,表示以下含义:

数据库关系类型 含义
RELKIND_TOASTVALUE 用于存储大对象(Large Object,如大文本或大二进制数据)的分片数据。这些分片数据通常是对原始数据进行分段存储,以便在需要时进行透明的读取和管理。
RELKIND_RELATION 这是普通的堆表(Heap Table),也就是一般的数据表。它用于存储实际的行数据,以及与之关联的各种列信息。
RELKIND_VIEW 这是一个视图(View),它是一个虚拟的表,由查询定义而来。视图不存储实际的数据,而是提供对其他关系数据的逻辑视图。
RELKIND_CONTQUERY 这是一种持续查询(Continuous Query),用于处理流数据(Stream Data)。持续查询关系允许用户定义一种查询,它可以随着新数据的到达而动态更新结果。
RELKIND_MATVIEW 这是物化视图(Materialized View),也是一种虚拟的表,但是与普通视图不同,物化视图会实际存储计算结果,以提高查询性能。

  default_reloptions 函数的作用是获取一个指向表的默认关系选项的指针,以便后续的处理和使用。总而言之,heap_reloptions 函数的作用是提取存储信息,对表的 reloptions 进行提取,存储到 StdRdOptions 结构体中。
  以案例中的 SQL 语句为例:

openGauss=# CREATE TABLE customer_test2
(
  state_ID   CHAR(2),
  state_NAME VARCHAR2(40),
  area_ID    NUMBER
)
WITH (ORIENTATION = COLUMN);

  调试信息如下:
【OpenGauss源码学习 —— 列存储(创建表)】_第2张图片
  接着再来分析如下判断条件:

if (pg_strcasecmp(ORIENTATION_COLUMN, StdRdOptionsGetStringData(std_opt, orientation, ORIENTATION_ROW)) == 0) {
            orientedFrom = (Node*)makeString(ORIENTATION_COLUMN);
            storeChar = ORIENTATION_COLUMN;
        }

  首先,它使用 StdRdOptionsGetStringData(std_opt, orientation, ORIENTATION_ROW) 从存储选项中获取方向信息,然后通过 pg_strcasecmp 函数将获取到的方向信息与字符串常量 ORIENTATION_COLUMN 进行不区分大小写的比较。
  如果比较的结果为 0,表示存储选项中的方向信息与 ORIENTATION_COLUMN 相匹配,那么就会执行以下操作:

  1. 将变量 orientedFrom 设置为一个表示列存储方向的节点,使用 makeString(ORIENTATION_COLUMN) 创建这个节点。
  2. 将变量 storeChar 设置为字符串常量 ORIENTATION_COLUMN,以便后续的操作可以使用这个标识来表示方向信息。

换句话说,这段代码的作用是检查存储选项中的方向信息是否为列存储,如果是,则设置相应的变量来表示这个信息。

  由实际案例的调试信息可以看到方向信息是列存储
【OpenGauss源码学习 —— 列存储(创建表)】_第3张图片
  接着再来分析如下判断条件:

        // Set kvtype to ATT_KV_UNDEFINED in row-oriented or column-oriented table.
        if (0 != pg_strcasecmp(storeChar, ORIENTATION_TIMESERIES)) {
            clear_kvtype_row_column(stmt);
        }

  这个判断是在检查存储选项中的方向信息是否为 "TIMESERIES",如果不是的话,就执行一个函数 clear_kvtype_row_column(stmt) 来设置表的 kvtype 属性为 ATT_KV_UNDEFINED
  换句话说,当存储选项中的方向信息不是 "TIMESERIES" 时,将执行一些操作来将表的 kvtype 设置为未定义状态。
  最后,再来分析如下判断条件:

                /* still use hash logic later */
                DistributeBy* distnode = stmt->distributeby;
                distnode->disttype = DISTTYPE_HASH;

                distnode->colname = lappend(distnode->colname, makeString(colDef->colname));
                ereport(LOG, (errmodule(MOD_TIMESERIES), errmsg("use implicit distribution column method.")));
            }
        } else {
            if (relkind == RELKIND_RELATION) {
                /* only care heap relation. ignore foreign table and index relation */
                ForbidToSetOptionsForRowTbl(stmt->options);
            }
        }

  这段代码根据存储选项中的方向信息storeChar)执行一系列操作。

  1. 如果存储选项的方向是 "COLUMN",则执行以下操作:
  • 调用 CheckCStoreUnsupportedFeature(stmt),检查是否支持列存储的特性。
  • 调用 CheckCStoreRelOption(std_opt),检查列存储的关系选项。
  • 调用 ForbidToSetOptionsForColTbl(stmt->options),禁止为列存储表设置特定的选项。
  • 如果存在分区表状态(stmt->partTableState),则根据分区表状态设置行移动属性为 "ROWMOVEMENT_ENABLE",因为列存储表总是启用分区间的行移动。
  1. 如果存储选项的方向是 "TIMESERIES",则执行以下操作:
  • 调用 CheckCStoreUnsupportedFeature(stmt),检查是否支持列存储的特性。
  • 调用 CheckCStoreRelOption(std_opt),检查列存储的关系选项。
  • 如果存在分区表状态(stmt->partTableState),则根据分区表状态设置行移动属性为 "ROWMOVEMENT_ENABLE"
  • 如果表的类型是普通表(relkind == RELKIND_RELATION),则禁止为时序存储表设置特定的选项。
  • 构建分布键使用时间戳标签列作为分布列,如果未指定分布键的话。
  • 如果指定了隐藏标签("HIDETAG")的分布方式,且未指定分布列,则添加一个隐藏列作为分布列。
  1. 如果存储选项的方向不是 "COLUMN""TIMESERIES",则执行以下操作:
  • 如果表的类型是普通表(relkind == RELKIND_RELATION),则禁止为行存储表设置特定的选项。

  其次,我们进入到 CheckCStoreUnsupportedFeature 函数来看看吧,这个函数用于检查列存储表是否支持指定的特性,如果不支持则报告错误。
  CheckCStoreUnsupportedFeature 函数源码如下:(路径:src/gausskernel/optimizer/commands/tablecmds.cpp

// all unsupported features are checked and error reported here for cstore table
static void CheckCStoreUnsupportedFeature(CreateStmt* stmt)
{
    Assert(stmt);

    if (stmt->relation->relpersistence == RELPERSISTENCE_GLOBAL_TEMP) {
        ereport(ERROR,
            (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_TABLE_DEFINITION),
                errmsg("global temporary table can only support heap table")));
    }

    if (stmt->ofTypename)
        ereport(ERROR,
            (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
                errmsg("Unsupport feature"),
                errdetail("cstore/timeseries don't support relation defination "
                          "with composite type using CREATE TABLE OF TYPENAME.")));

    if (stmt->inhRelations) {
        ereport(ERROR,
            (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
                errmsg("Unsupport feature"),
                errdetail("cstore/timeseries don't support relation defination with inheritance.")));
    }
    
    if (stmt->relation->schemaname != NULL &&
        IsSystemNamespace(get_namespace_oid(stmt->relation->schemaname, false))) {
        ereport(ERROR,
            (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
                errmsg("Unsupport feature"),
                errdetail("cstore/timeseries don't support relation defination with System namespace.")));
    }
    CheckPartitionUnsupported(stmt);
    // Check constraints
    ListCell* lc = NULL;
    foreach (lc, stmt->tableEltsDup) {
        Node* element = (Node*)lfirst(lc);
        /* check table-level constraints */
        if (IsA(element, Constraint) && !CSTORE_SUPPORT_CONSTRAINT(((Constraint*)element)->contype)) {
            ereport(ERROR,
                (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
                    errmsg("column/timeseries store unsupport constraint \"%s\"",
                        GetConstraintType(((Constraint*)element)->contype))));
        } else if (IsA(element, ColumnDef)) {
            List* colConsList = ((ColumnDef*)element)->constraints;
            ListCell* lc2 = NULL;
            /* check column-level constraints */
            foreach (lc2, colConsList) {
                Constraint* colCons = (Constraint*)lfirst(lc2);
                if (!CSTORE_SUPPORT_CONSTRAINT(colCons->contype)) {
                    ereport(ERROR,
                        (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
                            errmsg("column/timeseries store unsupport constraint \"%s\"",
                                GetConstraintType(colCons->contype))));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

  下面是函数中每个部分的解释:

  1. 首先,函数使用 Assert(stmt) 确保传入的 CreateStmt 结构体非空。
  2. 如果要创建的表是全局临时表(stmt->relation->relpersistence == RELPERSISTENCE_GLOBAL_TEMP),则报告错误,因为列存储表不支持全局临时表
  3. 如果表的定义中使用了 CREATE TABLE OF TYPENAME,报告错误,因为列存储表不支持使用复合类型定义
  4. 如果表的定义使用了继承(stmt->inhRelations),报告错误,因为列存储表不支持继承
  5. 如果表的模式名不为空且属于系统命名空间,报告错误,因为列存储表不支持在系统命名空间中定义
  6. 调用 CheckPartitionUnsupported(stmt) 检查分区相关的不支持特性。
  7. 遍历 stmt->tableEltsDup 中的每个元素(表元素,如列定义、约束等),检查是否存在不受支持的约束类型。如果存在不受支持的约束,报告错误。
  • 针对表级约束,检查约束类型是否受支持。
  • 针对列级约束,检查每个列的约束列表中的约束类型是否受支持。

  其次,我们再来看看 CheckCStoreRelOption 函数,该函数主要检查 PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS 是否小于 MAX_BATCHROW 的值。StdRdOptions 是一个用于存储关系选项的数据结构,它在代码中用于表示存储引擎的特定选项。
  其源码如下:(路径:src/gausskernel/optimizer/commands/tablecmds.cpp

void CheckCStoreRelOption(StdRdOptions* std_opt)
{
    Assert(std_opt);
    if (std_opt->partial_cluster_rows < std_opt->max_batch_rows && std_opt->partial_cluster_rows >= 0) {
        ereport(ERROR,
            (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_TABLE_DEFINITION),
                errmsg("PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS cannot be less than MAX_BATCHROW."),
                errdetail("PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS must be greater than or equal to MAX_BATCHROW."),
                errhint("PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS is MAX_BATCHROW multiplied by an integer.")));
    }
}

  以下是函数的解释:

  1. 首先,函数使用 Assert(std_opt) 确保传入的 StdRdOptions 结构体非空。
  2. 如果 PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS 的值小于 MAX_BATCHROW 并且大于等于0,报告错误。这是因为在列存储表中,PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS 表示部分数据块的行数,而 MAX_BATCHROW 表示每个批处理的最大行数。这两个参数应该满足 PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS >= MAX_BATCHROW 的关系。
    报告的错误信息包括:
  • "PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS" 不能小于 "MAX_BATCHROW"
  • "PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS" 必须大于或等于 "MAX_BATCHROW"
  • 提示说明 "PARTIAL_CLUSTER_ROWS""MAX_BATCHROW" 乘以一个整数。

  了解完了函数,我们再分别来看一下函数中的以下两个函数

AlterTableCreateToastTable(rel_oid, toast_options, ((CreateStmt *)stmt)->oldToastNode);
AlterCStoreCreateTables(rel_oid, toast_options, (CreateStmt*)stmt);

  其中,AlterTableCreateToastTable 函数的作用是为表创建 TOASTThe Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique)表,用于存储那些超过一定大小的大型列数据TOAST 表存储的是被压缩和分割成块的列值,以优化数据库性能和存储空间的使用。

参数解释:

  1. rel_oid:要创建 TOAST 表的主表的对象标识符(OID)。
  2. toast_options:创建 TOAST 表的选项,包括压缩、存储引擎等设置。
  3. ((CreateStmt *)stmt)->oldToastNode :源表的 TOAST 表节点(如果存在的话),用于在执行 ALTER TABLE 操作时将现有的 TOAST 表与新创建的 TOAST 表进行合并。

  AlterTableCreateToastTable 函数源码如下:(路径:src/common/backend/catalog/toasting.cpp

/*
 * AlterTableCreateToastTable
 *		If the table needs a toast table, and doesn't already have one,
 *		then create a toast table for it.
 *
 * reloptions for the toast table can be passed, too.  Pass (Datum) 0
 * for default reloptions.
 *
 * We expect the caller to have verified that the relation is a table and have
 * already done any necessary permission checks.  Callers expect this function
 * to end with CommandCounterIncrement if it makes any changes.
 */
void AlterTableCreateToastTable(Oid relOid, Datum reloptions, List *filenodelist)
{
    Relation rel;
    bool rel_is_partitioned = check_rel_is_partitioned(relOid);
    if (!rel_is_partitioned) {
        /*
         * Grab an exclusive lock on the target table, since we'll update its
         * pg_class tuple. This is redundant for all present uses, since caller
         * will have such a lock already.  But the lock is needed to ensure that
         * concurrent readers of the pg_class tuple won't have visibility issues,
         * so let's be safe.
         */
        rel = heap_open(relOid, AccessExclusiveLock);
        if (needs_toast_table(rel))
            (void)create_toast_table(rel, InvalidOid, InvalidOid, reloptions, false, filenodelist);
    } else {
        rel = heap_open(relOid, AccessShareLock);
        if (needs_toast_table(rel))
            (void)createToastTableForPartitionedTable(rel, reloptions, filenodelist);
    }

    heap_close(rel, NoLock);
}

  在 AlterTableCreateToastTable 函数中, if (needs_toast_table(rel)) 判断的是是否需要为某个表创建 TOAST 表。其中,needs_toast_table 函数中有如下代码段:

    // column-store relations don't need any toast tables.
    if (RelationIsColStore(rel))
        return false;

  因为 TOAST 表的创建和维护会增加一些开销,而对于列存储表来说,通常已经具备了高效存储和压缩的特性,所以不像行存储表那样需要单独的 TOAST 表来处理大型列数据。

  AlterCStoreCreateTables 函数的作用是为一个列存储表执行一些列存储特定的操作,主要包括以下几个方面:

  1. 创建 CStore 子表(Delta 表) : 对于列存储表,通常会有一个主表和一个或多个子表(如 Delta 表)。Delta 表用于存储新增和修改的数据,以便在之后的时间点将这些变更合并到主表中。这个函数可能会创建或配置 Delta 表。
  2. 配置存储选项: 列存储表可能有一些特定的存储选项,这些选项可能会影响数据的存储、压缩、索引等方面。函数可能会根据提供的参数进行相应的存储选项配置。
  3. 处理 TOAST 表: 尽管列存储表不需要创建 TOAST 表,但在某些情况下可能需要处理 TOAST 相关的选项,例如对于那些不同存储方式混合的列存储表

  AlterCStoreCreateTables 函数源码如下所示:(路径:src/common/backend/catalog/cstore_ctlg.cpp

/*
 * AlterTableCreateDeltaTable
 * 如果是一个 ColStore 表,就应该调用这个函数。
 * 这个函数用于创建一个 Delta 表。
 */
void AlterCStoreCreateTables(Oid relOid, Datum reloptions, CreateStmt* mainTblStmt)
{
    Relation rel;

    /*
     * 获取目标表的排它锁,因为我们将会更新它的 pg_class 元组。
     * 这对于目前的所有使用情况来说都是多余的,因为调用者已经有了这样的锁。
     * 但是为了确保并发读取 pg_class 元组的其他进程不会出现可见性问题,我们保险起见加上这个锁。
     */
    rel = heap_open(relOid, AccessExclusiveLock);
    
    /*
     * Dfs 表将会使用 AlterDfsCreateTables 函数处理。
     */
    if (!RelationIsCUFormat(rel)) {
        heap_close(rel, NoLock);
        return;
    }

    if (!RELATION_IS_PARTITIONED(rel)) {
        /* create_delta_table 函数完成所有工作 */
        // 用于创建 Delta 表的,Delta 表存储了列存储表中发生的数据变更(如插入、更新、删除操作)的信息,以便后续进行数据恢复或查询。
        (void)CreateDeltaTable(rel, reloptions, false, mainTblStmt);
        // 用于创建 CUDesc 表,也就是变更描述表,CUDesc 表用于记录列存储表中数据变更的信息,如插入、更新、删除的数据。
        (void)CreateCUDescTable(rel, reloptions, false);
        // 通过静态方法调用来创建列存储表的存储空间
        CStore::CreateStorage(rel, InvalidOid);
    } else {
        createCUDescTableForPartitionedTable(rel, reloptions);
        createDeltaTableForPartitionedTable(rel, reloptions, mainTblStmt);
        CreateStorageForPartition(rel);
    }

    heap_close(rel, NoLock);
}

  这里重点看一下 CStore::CreateStorageCreateStorageCStore 类中的静态方法 ,用来创建列存储表的存储空间,源码如下所示:(路径:src/gausskernel/storage/cstore/cstore_am.cpp

/* DONT call in redo */
// 提醒不要在恢复(redo)过程中调用这个函数
void CStore::CreateStorage(Relation rel, Oid newRelFileNode)
{
	// 获取表的元组描述(Tuple Descriptor)。
    TupleDesc desc = RelationGetDescr(rel);
    // 获取表的属性数量。
    int nattrs = desc->natts;
    // 获取表的属性信息数组。
    Form_pg_attribute* attrs = desc->attrs;
    // 获取表的持久性信息,即表是持久性表还是临时表。
    char relpersistence = rel->rd_rel->relpersistence;

	// 获取表的关系文件节点信息。
    RelFileNode rd_node = rel->rd_node;
    // 如果 newRelFileNode 是有效的(即指定了新的关系文件节点),则将当前表的关系文件节点更新为新的关系文件节点。
    if (OidIsValid(newRelFileNode)) {
        // use the new filenode if *newRelFileNode* is valid.
        rd_node.relNode = newRelFileNode;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < nattrs; i++) {
    	// 如果当前属性已被标记为删除(attisdropped 为 true),则跳过此属性。
        if (attrs[i]->attisdropped)
            continue;
        // 获取当前属性的属性编号。
        int attrid = attrs[i]->attnum;
		
		// 创建一个 CFileNode 实例,用于表示关系文件节点和属性编号。
        CFileNode cnode(rd_node, attrid, MAIN_FORKNUM);

        // create cu file in disk.
        // 创建一个 CUStorage 实例,表示列存储单元(Column Unit)的存储。
        CUStorage* custorage = New(CurrentMemoryContext) CUStorage(cnode);
        Assert(custorage);
        // 调用 custorage 的 CreateStorage 方法来创建存储空间。它会在磁盘上创建相应的 CU 文件。
        custorage->CreateStorage(0, false);
        // 删除之前创建的 custorage 实例。
        DELETE_EX(custorage);

        // log and insert into the pending delete list.
        // 将关系文件节点、属性编号、持久性信息和表的拥有者信息传递给它,以记录创建存储空间的操作。
        CStoreRelCreateStorage(&rd_node, attrid, relpersistence, rel->rd_rel->relowner);
    }
}

  调试信息如下所示:
【OpenGauss源码学习 —— 列存储(创建表)】_第4张图片
