These are mainly used to -help avoid confusion if the Synapse codebase is rolled back after the database is -updated. They work as follows:</p> -<ul> -<li> -<p>The Synapse codebase defines a constant <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code> -which represents the expectations made about the database by that version. For -example, as of Synapse v1.36, this is <code>59</code>.</p> -</li> -<li> -<p>The database stores a &quot;compatibility version&quot; in -<code>schema_compat_version.compat_version</code> which defines the <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> of the -oldest version of Synapse which will work with the database. On startup, if -<code>compat_version</code> is found to be newer than <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, Synapse will refuse to -start.</p> -<p>Synapse automatically updates this field from -<code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>.</p> -</li> -<li> -<p>Whenever a backwards-incompatible change is made to the database format (normally -via a <code>delta</code> file), <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> is also updated -so that administrators can not accidentally roll back to a too-old version of Synapse.</p> -</li> -</ul> -<p>Generally, the goal is to maintain compatibility with at least one or two previous -releases of Synapse, so any substantial change tends to require multiple releases and a -bit of forward-planning to get right.</p> -<p>As a worked example: we want to remove the <code>room_stats_historical</code> table. Here is how it -might pan out.</p> -<ol> -<li> -<p>Replace any code that <em>reads</em> from <code>room_stats_historical</code> with alternative -implementations, but keep writing to it in case of rollback to an earlier version. -Also, increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>. In this -instance, there is no existing code which reads from <code>room_stats_historical</code>, so -our starting point is:</p> -<p>v1.36.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=59</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code></p> -</li> -<li> -<p>Next (say in Synapse v1.37.0): remove the code that <em>writes</em> to -<code>room_stats_historical</code>, but don’t yet remove the table in case of rollback to -v1.36.0. Again, we increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, but -because we have not broken compatibility with v1.36, we do not yet update -<code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>. We now have:</p> -<p>v1.37.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code>.</p> -</li> -<li> -<p>Later (say in Synapse v1.38.0): we can remove the table altogether. This will -break compatibility with v1.36.0, so we must update <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> accordingly. -There is no need to update <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, since there is no -change to the Synapse codebase here. So we end up with:</p> -<p>v1.38.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=60</code>.</p> -</li> -</ol> -<p>If in doubt about whether to update <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> or not, it is generally best to -lean towards doing so.</p> -<h2 id="full-schema-dumps"><a class="header" href="#full-schema-dumps">Full schema dumps</a></h2> -<p>In the <code>full_schemas</code> directories, only the most recently-numbered snapshot is used -(<code>54</code> at the time of writing). Older snapshots (eg, <code>16</code>) are present for historical -reference only.</p> -<h3 id="building-full-schema-dumps"><a class="header" href="#building-full-schema-dumps">Building full schema dumps</a></h3> -<p>If you want to recreate these schemas, they need to be made from a database that -has had all background updates run.</p> -<p>To do so, use <code>scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh</code>. This will produce new -<code>full.sql.postgres</code> and <code>full.sql.sqlite</code> files.</p> -<p>Ensure postgres is installed, then run:</p> -<pre><code>./scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh -p postgres_username -o output_dir/ -</code></pre> -<p>NB at the time of writing, this script predates the split into separate <code>state</code>/<code>main</code> -databases so will require updates to handle that correctly.</p> -<h2 id="boolean-columns"><a class="header" href="#boolean-columns">Boolean columns</a></h2> -<p>Boolean columns require special treatment, since SQLite treats booleans the -same as integers.</p> -<p>There are three separate aspects to this:</p> -<ul> -<li> -<p>Any new boolean column must be added to the <code>BOOLEAN_COLUMNS</code> list in -<code>scripts/synapse_port_db</code>. This tells the port script to cast the integer -value from SQLite to a boolean before writing the value to the postgres -database.</p> -</li> -<li> -<p>Before SQLite 3.23, <code>TRUE</code> and <code>FALSE</code> were not recognised as constants by -SQLite, and the <code>IS [NOT] TRUE</code>/<code>IS [NOT] FALSE</code> operators were not -supported. This makes it necessary to avoid using <code>TRUE</code> and <code>FALSE</code> -constants in SQL commands.</p> -<p>For example, to insert a <code>TRUE</code> value into the database, write:</p> -<pre><code class="language-python">txn.execute(&quot;INSERT INTO tbl(col) VALUES (?)&quot;, (True, )) -</code></pre> -</li> -<li> -<p>Default values for new boolean columns present a particular -difficulty. Generally it is best to create separate schema files for -Postgres and SQLite. For example:</p> -<pre><code class="language-sql"># in 00delta.sql.postgres: -ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN col BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE; -</code></pre> -<pre><code class="language-sql"># in 00delta.sql.sqlite: -ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN col BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0; -</code></pre> -<p>Note that there is a particularly insidious failure mode here: the Postgres -flavour will be accepted by SQLite 3.22, but will give a column whose -default value is the <strong>string</strong> <code>&quot;FALSE&quot;</code> - which, when cast back to a boolean -in Python, evaluates to <code>True</code>.</p> -</li> -</ul> - - </main> - - <nav class="nav-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> - <!-- Mobile navigation buttons --> - - <a rel="prev" href="../opentracing.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> - </a> - - - - <a rel="next" href="../development/experimental_features.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> - </a> - - - <div style="clear: both"></div> - </nav> - </div> - </div> - - <nav class="nav-wide-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> - - <a rel="prev" href="../opentracing.html" class="nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> - </a> - - - - <a rel="next" href="../development/experimental_features.html" class="nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> - </a> - - </nav> - - </div> - - - - - - - - - <script type="text/javascript"> - window.playground_copyable = true; - </script> - - - - - - <script src="../elasticlunr.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="../mark.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="../searcher.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - - - <script src="../clipboard.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="../highlight.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="../book.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - - <!-- Custom JS scripts --> - - <script type="text/javascript" src="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.js"></script> - - - - - </body> -</html> \ No newline at end of file
