PolarDB:Create a partial index

Create a partial index when you create a partitioned table

Syntax

CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] table_name
    [(create_definition,...)]
    [table_options]
    partition_options
     ...

create_definition is:

{
    col_name column_definition
  | {INDEX | KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (key_part,...)
      [index_option] [partial_partition_option]
      ...
}

partial_partition_option is:

([PARTITION partition_name0[(SUBPARTITION subpartition_name0[, ...])]][,...]
 )

For more information about other parameters, see CREATE TABLE.

Parameters

Examples

• Create a partial index on a partition

  Create a partitioned table named orders and create a partial index named o_ind_dp(dept_no, part_no) on the orders_202212 partition of December and a partial index named o_ind_amount(amount, order_id) on other historical partitions.

  CREATE TABLE orders
  (
    order_id    INT,
    dept_no     INT,
    part_no     INT,
    country     varchar(20),
    date        DATE,
    amount      INT,
    Primary Key(order_id),
    KEY o_ind_dp(dept_no, part_no) (partition orders_202212),
    KEY o_ind_amout(amount, order_id) 
     (partition orders_202201,
      partition orders_202202,
      partition orders_202203,
      partition orders_202204,
      partition orders_202205,
      partition orders_202206,
      partition orders_202207,
      partition orders_202208,
      partition orders_202209,
      partition orders_202210,
      partition orders_202211
     )
  )
  PARTITION BY RANGE(month(date))
  (
    PARTITION orders_202201 VALUES LESS THAN(2),
    PARTITION orders_202202 VALUES LESS THAN(3),
    PARTITION orders_202203 VALUES LESS THAN(4),
    PARTITION orders_202204 VALUES LESS THAN(5),
    PARTITION orders_202205 VALUES LESS THAN(6),
    PARTITION orders_202206 VALUES LESS THAN(7),
    PARTITION orders_202207 VALUES LESS THAN(8),
    PARTITION orders_202208 VALUES LESS THAN(9),
    PARTITION orders_202209 VALUES LESS THAN(10),
    PARTITION orders_202210 VALUES LESS THAN(11),
    PARTITION orders_202211 VALUES LESS THAN(12),
    PARTITION orders_202212 VALUES LESS THAN(13)
  );

• Create a partial index on a subpartition

  Create a LIST-RANGE subpartitioned table named tenants, create a partial index named ind_id on all subpartitions of the p0 partition and on the p1_1, p1_2, and p1_3 subpartitions of the p1 partition, create a partial index named ind_date on the p0_1 and p0_2 subpartitions of the p0 partition and on the p1_1 and p1_2 subpartitions of the p1 partition.

  CREATE TABLE tenants (
    id INT,
    date DATE,
    count INT,
    KEY ind_id (id)  (
      partition p0, 
      partition p1 (subpartition p1_1, subpartition p1_2, subpartition p1_3)
    ), 
    KEY ind_date (date) (
      partition p0 (subpartition p0_1, subpartition p0_2),
      partition p1 (subpartition p1_1, subpartition p1_2)
    )
  ) PARTITION BY LIST COLUMNS(id)
    SUBPARTITION BY RANGE (month(date))(
    PARTITION p0 VALUES IN (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (
      SUBPARTITION p0_1 VALUES LESS THAN(4),
      SUBPARTITION p0_2 VALUES LESS THAN(7),
      SUBPARTITION p0_3 VALUES LESS THAN(10),
      SUBPARTITION p0_4 VALUES LESS THAN(13)
    ),
    PARTITION p1 VALUES IN (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) (
      SUBPARTITION p1_1 VALUES LESS THAN(4),
      SUBPARTITION p1_2 VALUES LESS THAN(7),
      SUBPARTITION p1_3 VALUES LESS THAN(10),
      SUBPARTITION p1_4 VALUES LESS THAN(13)
    )
  );

Create a partial index on an existing partitioned table

Syntax

CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX index_name
    [index_type]
    ON table_name (key_part,...)
    [index_option]
    [algorithm_option | lock_option | partial_partition_option] ... 

partial_partition_option is:

([PARTITION partition_name0[(SUBPARTITION subpartition_name0[, ...])]][,...]
  )

For more information about other parameters, see CREATE INDEX.

Parameters

Examples

• Create a partial index on a partition

  Create a partial index named o_part_id on the orders_202201 partition of the orders partitioned table.

  CREATE INDEX o_part_id ON orders(part_no, order_id) (partition orders_202201);

  You can also execute the ALTER TABLE ADD KEY statement to create the partial index in the preceding example.

  ALTER TABLE orders ADD KEY o_part_id(part_no, order_id) (partition orders_202201);

• Create a partial index on a subpartition

  Create a partial index named ind_count on all subpartitions of the p0 partition and on the p1_1 subpartition of the p1 partition in the tenants partitioned table.

  CREATE INDEX ind_count ON tenants(count) (partition p0, partition p1 (subpartition p1_1));

  You can also execute the ALTER TABLE ADD KEY statement to create the partial index in the preceding example.

  ALTER TABLE tenants ADD KEY ind_count(count) (partition p0, partition p1 (subpartition p1_1));
