I have two KSQL Tables each having the same key. I am running the following query on them
CREATE TABLE TEMP1 AS SELECT
b.MFG_DATE,
b.rowtime as bd_rowtime,
s.rowtime as sd_rowtime,
b.EXPIRY_DATE as EXP_DATE,
b.BATCH_NO as BATCH_NO,
s.rowkey as SD_ID
FROM GR_SD4 s
INNER JOIN GR_BD4 b ON b.rowkey = s.rowkey;
PARTITION BY s.rowkey;
The resulting table does not get populated with data but when I run the select query separately it populates the data. I am confused on what could be the reason for the table not being populated with data.
The issue may be related to the PARTITION BY clause in your query. Since you are joining two tables, the resulting table will have a composite primary key (rowkey, s.rowkey). The PARTITION BY clause should be updated to reflect this, i.e. PARTITION BY rowkey, s.rowkey. This should ensure that the data is correctly partitioned and can be inserted into the table.

This question is for a database using PostgreSQL 12.3; we are using declarative partitioning and ON CONFLICT against the partitioned table is possible.
We had a single table representing application event data from client activity. Therefore, each row has fields client_id int4 and a dttm timestamp field. There is also an event_id text field and a project_id int4 field which together formed the basis of a composite primary key. (While rare, it was possible for two event records to have the same event_id but different project_id values for the same client_id.)
The table became non-performant, and we saw that queries most often targeted a single client in a specific timeframe. So we shifted the data into a partitioned table: first by LIST (client_id) and then each partition is further partitioned by RANGE(dttm).
We are running into problems shifting our upsert strategy to work with this new table. We used to perform a query of INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM staging_table ON CONFLICT (event_id, project_id) DO UPDATE ...
But since the columns that determine uniqueness (event_id and project_id) are not part of the partitioning strategy (dttm and client_id), I can't do the same thing with the partitioned table. I thought I could get around this by building UNIQUE indexes on each partition on (project_id, event_id) but the ON CONFLICT is still not firing because there is no such unique index on the parent table (there can't be, since it doesn't contain all partitioning columns). So now a single upsert query appears impossible.
I've found two solutions so far but both require additional changes to the upsert script that seem like they'd be less performant:
I can still do an INSERT INTO table_partition_subpartition ... ON CONFLICT (event_id, project_id) DO UPDATE ... but that requires explicitly determining the name of the partition for each row instead of just INSERT INTO table ... once for the entire dataset.
I could implement the "old way" UPSERT procedure: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-UPSERT-EXAMPLE but this again requires looping through all rows.
Is there anything else I could do to retain the cleanliness of a single, one-and-done INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM staging_table ON CONFLICT () DO UPDATE ... while still keeping the partitioning strategy as-is?
Edit: if it matters, concurrency is not an issue here; there's just one machine executing the UPSERT into the main table from the staging table on a schedule.
I have a Postgres table named: services, and it has columns called id, mac_addr, dns_name, hash, and it is partitioned based on mac_addr, so the partition tables names look like: services_3eeeea123e3 and so on. And there are around 20K partition based on mac_addrs
Q1: there was no index created when the tables were created. so now, when I am trying to add an index CREATE INDEX idx_services_id on services (id), it throws an error ERROR: cannot create an index on partitioned table "services"
But I am able to add indexes to individual partitioned tables CREATE INDEX idx_services_3eeeea123e3 on services_3eeeea123e3 (id).
So do I have to create an index on each partition table now? Is there a way to create an index on the base table(services) itself, which will automatically create an index on each partition table?
Q2: When I run a select query, it is fast when I use the direct partition table; however, using the base table is very slow. Any idea what could be the reason.
Fast: SELECT id, dns_name, hash from services_3eeeea123e3 where id='123232'
very slow: SELECT id,dns_name, hash from services where mac_addr='3eeeea123e3' and id='123232'
I have a schema with one table with the majority of data, customer, and three other tables with foreign key references to customer.entry_id which is a BIGSERIAL field. The three other tables are called location, devices and urls where we store various data related to a specific entry in the customer table.
I want to partition the customer table into monthly child tables, and have that part worked out; customer will stay as-is, each month will have a table customer_YYYY_MM that inherits from the master table with the right CHECK constraint and indexes will be created on each individual child table. Data will be moved to the correct child tables while the master table stays empty.
My question is about the other three tables, as I want to partition them as well. However, they have no date information (at all), only the reference to the primary key from the master table. How can I setup the constraints on these tables? Is it even meaningful or possible without date information?
My application logic knows where to insert all the data (it's fairly trivial), but I expect to be able to do simple SELECT queries without specifying which child tables to get it from. So this should work as you would expect from non-partitioned tables:
SELECT l.*
FROM customer c
JOIN location l USING entry_id
WHERE c.date_field > '2015-01-01'
I would partition them by the reference key. The foreign key is used in join conditions and is not usually subject to change so it fulfills the following important points:
Partition by the information that is used mostly in the WHERE clauses of the queries or other parts where partitioning can be used to filter out tables that don't need to be scanned. As one guide puts it:
The objective when defining partitions should be to allow as many queries as possible to fetch data from as few partitions as possible - ideally one.
Partition by information that is not going to be changed so that rows don't constantly need to be thrown from one subtable to another
This all depends of the size of the tables too of course. If the sizes stay small then there is no need to partition.

Use views:
create view customer as
select * from customer_jan_15 union all
select * from customer_feb_15 union all
select * from customer_mar_15;
create view location as
select * from location_jan_15 union all
select * from location_feb_15 union all
select * from location_mar_15;
I know how partitioning in DB2 works but I am unaware about where this partition values exactly get stored. After writing a create partition query, for example:
CREATE TABLE orders(id INT, shipdate DATE, …)
PARTITION BY RANGE(shipdate)
(
STARTING '1/1/2006' ENDING '12/31/2006'
EVERY 3 MONTHS
)
after running the above query we know that partitions are created on order for every 3 month but when we run a select query the query engine refers this partitions. I am curious to know where this actually get stored, whether in the same table or DB2 has a different table where partition value for every table get stored.
Thanks,
table partitions in DB2 are stored in tablespaces.
For regular tables (if table partitioning is not used) table data is stored in a single tablespace (not considering LOBs).
For partitioned tables multiple tablespaces can used for its partitions.
This is achieved by the "" clause of the CREATE TABLE statement.
CREATE TABLE parttab
...
in TBSP1, TBSP2, TBSP3
In this example the first partition will be stored in TBSP1, the second in TBSP2, The third in TBSP3, the fourth in TBSP1 and so on.
Table partitions are named in DB2 - by default PART1 ..PARTn - and all these details can be looked up in the system catalog view SYSCAT.DATAPARTITIONS including the specified partition ranges.
See also http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0021353.html?cp=SSEPGG_10.5.0%2F2-12-8-27&lang=en
The column used as partitioning key can be looked up in syscat.datapartitionexpression.
There is also a long syntax for creating partitioned tables where partition names can be explizitly specified as well as the tablespace where the partitions will get stored.
For applications partitioned tables look like a single normal table.
Partitions can be detached from a partitioned table. In this case a partition is "disconnected" from the partitioned table and converted to a table without moving the data (or vice versa).

After a bit of research I finally figure it out and want to share this information with others, I hope it may come useful to others.
How to see this key values ? => For LUW (Linux/Unix/Windows) you can see the keys in the Table Object Editor or the Object Viewer Script tab. For z/OS there is an Object Viewer tab called "Limit Keys". I've opened issue TDB-885 to create an Object Viewer tab for LUW tables.
A simple query to check this values:
SELECT * FROM SYSCAT.DATAPARTITIONS
WHERE TABSCHEMA = ? AND TABNAME = ?
ORDER BY SEQNO
reference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_9.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0021353.html?lang=en
DB2 will create separate Physical Locations for each partition. So each partition will have its own Table-space. When you SELECT on this partitioned Table your SQL may directly go to a single partition or it may span across many depending on how your SQL is. Also, this may allow your SQL to run in parallel i.e. many TS can be accessed concurrently to speed up the SELECT.
I want to partition an external table in hive based on range of numbers. Say numbers with 1 to 100 go to one partition. Is it possible to do this in hive?
I am assuming here that you have a table with some records from which you want to load data to an external table which is partitioned by some field say RANGEOFNUMS.
Now, suppose we have a table called testtable with columns name and value. The contents are like
India,1
India,2
India,3
India,3
India,4
India,10
India,11
India,12
India,13
India,14
Now, suppose we have a external table called testext with some columns along with a partition column say, RANGEOFNUMS.
Now you can do one thing,
insert into table testext partition(rangeofnums="your value")
select * from testtable where value>=1 and value<=5;
This way all records from the testtable having value 1 to 5 will come into one partition of the external table.
The scenario is my assumption only. Please comment if this is not the scenario you have.
