Upsert (INSERT ON CONFLICT DO) is a new function of PostgreSQL 9.5. Of course, at higher isolation levels serialization errors are thrownwhen something inconsistent with the higher level's guarantees wouldotherwise need to occur (even for the IGNORE variant). The syntax for … On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 1:13 PM, tango ward. INSERT has been augmented with a newclause, but that clause does not unreasonably fail to play nice withany other aspect of insertion. Attached WIP patch extends the INSERT statement, adding a new ONCONFLICT {UPDATE | IGNORE} clause. All columns of the excluded alias would be null in the case of insert (especially the primary key column), and thus if a query insert into foobar values(2, '2') on conflict (id) update set other_col=excluded.other_col returning excluded.id returns a non-null value, then it was an update. You don't accept that value locks must be easily released in theevent of a conflict. FWIW, somewhat extensive stress-testing has revealed no bugs that youmight associate with these problems, with and without extended bufferpinning, and with artificial random sleeps added at key points in aneffort to make any race condition bugs manifest themselves. Yes, that's what I figured out eventually. Needless to say, if there is arace condition you can take it that it's very difficult to isolate. insert into p values (4, 'a') on conflict (a) do update set b = excluded.b; postgres=# insert into p values (4, 'b') on conflict (a) do update set b = excluded.b; ERROR: attribute number 3 exceeds number of columns 2 I attach my patch here for your reference, which I polished … After a long time of waiting, PostgreSQL 9.5 introduced INSERT ON CONFLICT [DO UPDATE] [DO NOTHING]. Yesterday, I understood that I had broken a sequence of an auto-increment column in my PostgreSQL database. The new (post-update) values of the table's columns are used. Here's what we are going to talk about: This design was made more complicated when theneed to *release* value locks became apparent (Heikki ended up makingsome changes to HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty(), as well as sketching adesign for what you might call a "super delete", where xmin can be setto InvalidTransactionId for speculatively-inserted heap tuples). A candidate row will only be inserted if that row does not violate any unique constraints. There was some useful discussion on this questionbetween myself and Heikki back around December/January. Interlocking with VACUUM, race conditions===============================. Old versions ofthis patch used to sit on the B-Tree buffer pin to prevent concurrentdeletion only as long as value locks were held, but maybe it isn'tgood enough to sit on the pin until before we lock/update, as valuelocks are released: dropping the pin implies that the heap tuple canphysically go away, and in general the same TID may then containanything. update resolve the problem: the problem was that i declared two different mode for make unique email and username, for resolve this problem i delete unique near the collums and use only unique constraint "UX" for email and username. It is a very importantpoint in my opinion. However, it ismore or less independently planned, and entirely driven by the INSERTModifyTable. Also, some of the restrictions that I already mentioned- on updatable views, inheritance, and foreign tables - are probablyunnecessary. I thought, only the columns that I declared inside the ON CONFLICT()  parenthesis can be called in SET. Running the stress tests (with random delays inkey points in the code) for several days reveals no bugs. They allow you to do something like this: INSERT INTO upsert (key, val) VALUES (1 'val') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATEval = VALUES(val); The implication is that the updated value comes from the INSERT'sVALUES() list, but emulating that seems like a bad idea. 2. So, for example, during parseanalysis, UPDATE transformation occurs in an ad-hoc fashion tightlydriven by the parent INSERT, but using the existing infrastructure(i.e. The first scenario is one in which weupdate despite our update's (or rather insert's) "predicate" not beingsatisfied (according to our MVCC snapshot). An SQL UPDATE statement is used to make changes to, or update, the data of one or more records in a table. However, Heikki did understand the concerns that informed bydesign. Search everywhere only in this topic Advanced Search. AFAICT, the question ofwhether or not this should be mandatory is just a detail of thefeature's high level design, as opposed to something expected tosignificantly influence the implementation. Starting with version 9.5, PostgreSQL allows “upserts” (update or insert) of rows into a table via the ON CONFLICT clause of the INSERT statement. INSERT INTO upsert(key, val) VALUES(1, 'insert') ON CONFLICT UPDATESET val = 'update'; Essentially, the implementation has all stages of query processingtrack some auxiliary UPDATE state. We still dothat (unprincipled deadlocks are our only alternative), but now holdon to the pin for longer, until after tuple locking. After all, in order to makea conclusive determination about the qual not being satisfied, we needto lock the tuple. Here is a table of key, value pairs: demo=# SELECT * FROM kv; key | value -----+----- host | 127.0.0.1 port | 5432 (2 rows) A common use case is to insert a row only if it does not exist – and if it does, do not overwrite. The following illustrates the syntax of the UPDATE statement: UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2, ... WHERE condition; In this syntax: First, specify the name of the table that you want to update data after the UPDATE keyword. Note that making mandatory (via syntax) merging on one particularunique index buys the implementation no useful leeway. Still,interactions with SSI, and preserving the guarantees of SSI shouldprobably be closely considered by a subject matter expert. If might not be, since _bt_checkunique() looks at laterB-Tree pages (the value locked page is merely "the first leaf page thevalue could be on"). Rather, its parent manages theprocess as the need arises. Postgresql, update if row with some unique value exists, else insert , This newly option has two varieties: INSERT ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE: If record matched, it is updated with the new data value. I see an elephant in the room:... and deleted_date is null There can be rows with non-null deleted_date, which are ignored by your test with SELECT but still conflict in the unique index on (feed_id,feed_listing_id).. Aside, NOT IN (SELECT ...) is almost always a bad choice. This is an open item. On 05/09/2018 07:04 PM, tango ward wrote: Sorry, I modified the school_system_id in CONFLICT CLAUSE. As you'd expect, I've included both isolation tests and regressiontests covering a reasonable variety of cases. There is a newExecUpdate() call site within ExecLockUpdateTuple(). On 05/09/2018 09:50 PM, tango ward wrote. Prerequisites It seems utterly arbitrary to me to suggest that on theone hand it's okay to introduce one particular "MVCC violation", butnot another equivalent one. \"UPSERT\" is a DBMS feature that allows a DML statement's author to atomically either insert a row, or on the basis of the row already existing, UPDATE that existing row instead, while safely giving little to no further thought to concurrency. INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE with _any_ constraint ‹ Previous Topic Next Topic › Classic List: Threaded ♦ ♦ 26 messages 1 2. Therefore, it seems worth considering thepossibility that the nbtree README's observations on the necessity ofholding a pin to interlock against VACUUM (for non-MVCC snapshots)apply. I've tentatively added code to keepa buffer pin for longer, but that's probably not good enough if weassume that it's necessary at all. It's probably a good idea to begin using my B-Tree verification tool[7] for testing...on the other hand, it doesn't know anything aboutMVCC, and will only detect the violation of invariants that arelocalized to the B-Tree code, at least at the moment. Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint […] The PostgresSQL INSERT doc u mentation specifies an ON CONFLICT … As in previous incarnations, we lock each tuple (although, of course,only with the UPDATE variant). conflict_target can perform unique index inference. In previous revisions, when we went to lock + update a tuple, no"value locks" were held, and neither were any B-Tree page buffer pins,because they were both released at the same time (recall that I callmy heavyweight lock on B-Tree leaf pages a value lock). It is convenient to be able to re-use infrastructure in such away as to more or less handle the UPDATE independently, driven by theINSERT, except for execution which is more directly handled by theINSERT (i.e. Checking all columns is a) not. The REPLACE statement (a MySQL extension) or UPSERT sequence attempts an UPDATE, or on failure, INSERT.This is similar to UPDATE, then for unmatched rows, INSERT.Whether concurrent access allows modifications which could cause row loss is implementation independent. I was conflicted on whetheror not I should include the "unpin later" logic at all; for now I'veleft it in, if only as a placeholder. When performing inference, it consists of one or more index_column_name columns and/or index_expression expressions, and an optional index_predicate. This modified text is an extract of the original Stack Overflow Documentation created by following contributors and released under CC BY-SA 3.0 This allows INSERT statements toperform UPSERT operations (if you want a more formal definition ofUPSERT, I refer you to my pgCon talk's slides [1], or the thread inwhich I delineated the differences between SQL MERGE and UPSERT [2]).The patch builds on previous work in this area, and incorporatesfeedback from Kevin and Andres. ON CONFLICT UPDATE with view with subset of columns. transformStmt()/transformUpdateStmt() is called, and isinsulated from having to care about the feature as a special case).There are some restrictions on what this auxiliary update may do, butFWIW there are considerably fewer than those that the equivalent MySQLor SQLite feature imposes on their users. PostgreSQL added … Upserts are comparedagainst "equivalent" inserts when we know we'll never update, andagainst "equivalent" updates when we know we'll never insert. PostgreSQL's INSERT...ON CONFLICT construct allows you to choose between two options when a proposed record conflicts with an existing record. But the "INSERT part" of thequery has no additional limitations, so you may for example putsubqueries within a VALUES() clause, or INSERT...SELECT...ON CONFLICTUPDATE... just as you'd expect. ExecModifyTable() is never called with this specialauxiliary plan state passed directly. Although what I've done is a temporary kludge, the basic idea offorcing a particular type of relation scan has a precedent: UPDATEWHERE CURRENT OF artificially forces a TID scan, because only a TIDscan will work correctly there. INSERT ON Introduction to the PostgreSQL upsert. Ultimately, wewere unable to reach agreement on an approach and discussion taperedoff. It's far from obvious tome what side of this question Andres is on at this stage, for example.Robert might have something to say here too. I'm not sure whether or not we shouldassume equivalent transformations during any UPDATE before triggers. In the PostgreSQL, the below query is used to upsert the table using the INSERT ON CONFLICT command: Anyway, the greater point here is that fundamentally, AFAICT Heikkiand I were in agreement. Compatibility INSERT conforms to the SQL standard, except that the RETURNING clause is a PostgreSQL extension, as is the ability to use WITH with INSERT, and the ability to specify an alternative action with ON CONFLICT. To date, on-list discussion around UPSERT has almost exclusivelyconcerned what I've called "value locking"; the idea of locking valuesin unique indexes in the abstract (to establish the right to insertahead of time). Plus, there's the additional planning and parsingoverhead. He recognized the need to be able to easily *release* valuelocks, so as to avoid "unprincipled deadlocks", where under highconcurrency there are deadlocks between sessions that only UPSERT asingle row at a time. I already mentioned the inability to reference rejected rows in anUPDATE, as well as my unease about VACUUM interlocking, both of whichare open item. One of those two outcomes must be guaranteed, regardless of concurrent activity, which has been called \"the essential property of UPSERT\". The concern is that it might bedeleted *and* garbage collected in the interim between finding theconflict tuple, and locking it (in practice this interim period isonly an instant). Recall that when we find a conflict (within _bt_checkunique()), itmust be conclusively committed and visible to new MVCC snapshots; weknow at that juncture that it's live. When we are inserting a new row into a particular table, the PostgreSQL will upgrade the row if it is already present, or else, it will add the new row. In general,at least with Postgres it's entirely possible that values rejecteddiffer from the values appearing in the VALUES() list, due to theeffects of before triggers. I'm not sure how widely appreciated this pointis, but I believe that Heikki appreciates it. I don't want an implementation that is in any wayinferior to the "UPSERT looping subxact" pattern does (i.e. We should be able to come with reasonable behavior for atleast some of those. Itcan be discussed entirely independently of all of this new stuff, andthank goodness for that. The effect is similar to MySQL: INSERT INTO customers (id, first_name, last_name, email) VALUES (30797, 'hooopo1', 'wang', '[email protected]') ON CONFLICT(id) DO UPDATE SET first_name = EXCLUDED.first_name, last_name = EXCLUDED.last_name; Batch Upsert. Search everywhere only in this topic Advanced Search . The second scenario is onein which the same "predicate" is also not satisfied according to ourMVCC snapshot, but in a slightly different way. Youmay specify a unique index to merge on from within the INSERTstatement, thus avoiding the risk of inadvertently having the updateaffect the wrong tuple due to the user failing to consider that therewas a would-be unique violation within some other unique indexconstraining some other attribute. Okay, I think I manage to solve it by adding balance = excluded.balance inside the parenthesis of ON CONFLICT clause. We may have to interlock against vacuum by sitting on theB-Tree buffer pin (but not the value lock) throughout locking +update. You may write the DML statementlike this: INSERT INTO upsert(key, val) VALUES(1, 'insert') ON CONFLICT WITHINupsert_pkey UPDATE SET val = 'update'; I think that there is a good chance that at least some people willwant to make this mandatory. Both DO NOTHING and DO UPDATE have their uses depending on the way the data you're adding relates to the existing content. I havemade a concerted effort to break the patch in that way, and I'm nowrunning out of ideas. It is likely worthwhile to teach theoptimizer that we really don't care about how the one and only baserel within the UPDATE auxiliary subquery (the target table) isscanned, if only to save a few cycles. Just forexample, the unprincipled deadlocks test case that illustrated theproblem with early "promise tuple" style approaches to value locking[6] involved only a single unique index. This can be revisited.). If anyone finds my (virtually unchanged) page heavyweight lock basedvalue locking approach objectionable, I ask that the criticism beframed in a way that makes a sharp distinction between each of thefollowing: 1. PostgreSQL also has INSERT… ON CONFLICT UPDATE grammar from 9.5. Marked as the number #1 wanted feature in Postgres that has been missing for years by many people, upsert support has landed in the ... being an extension of the INSERT query can be defined with two different behaviors in case of a constraint conflict: DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE. I think that without initially realizing it, I copied the SQLitesyntax [3]. This post continues to dive deeper into the topic. We can also choose to update instead of doing nothing: sql postgres=# insert into users values (uuid_generate_v4(), 'Lucie', 'Hawkins', 'Lucie-Jones@gmail.com') on conflict (email) do update set first_name = excluded.first_name, last_name = excluded.last_name; I've also triedto break up the discussion usefully (the question of how everythingfits together at a high level can hopefully be discussed separatelyfrom the question of how "value locks" are actually implemented). Postgres on conflict do update DO NOTHING – means do nothing if the row already exists in the table. This is onthe same dedicated 8 core server, with plenty of concurrency. When we left off, Heikki continued to favor an approach that involvedspeculatively inserting heap tuples, and then deleting them in theevent of a conflict. Perhaps we can come up with amore tasteful syntax that covers all interesting cases (consider theissues with partial unique indexes and before triggers for example,where a conclusion reached about which index to use during parseanalysis may subsequently be invalidated by user-defined code, orambiguous specifications in the face of overlapping attributes betweentwo unique composite indexes, etc). UPSERT in PostgreSQL 9. I think it's fairto say that that design became more complicated than initiallyanticipated [4] [5]. This tutorial will explain how to use Postgres to update from another table. I think it makes sense to deal with it a bit later. If you are using an earlier version, you will need a workaround to have the upsert feature. Any expression using the table's columns, and/or columns of other tables mentioned in FROM, can be computed. I've tried to break it up into pieces, but it isn't allthat suitable for representing as cumulative commits. When comparing updating with updating upserting, it's a similar story.100,000 tuples are pre-inserted in each case. If the index used in ON CONFLICT() is a partial index, predicates of the index (WHERE …) must be added after the ON CONFLICT clause. Is anyone in this camp? This option basically helps to perform DML actions like, Insert IF not Exists, Update IF Exists. My bad. But if we do,EvalPlanQual() is (once the tuple is locked) only ever evaluated on aconclusively committed and locked-by-us conflict tuple as part of theprocess of updating, even though it's possible for the UPDATEpredicate to be satisfied where conceivably it would not be satisfiedby the tuple version actually visible to the command's MVCC snapshot.I think this is the correct behavior. This happens to insulate ExecUpdate() from havingto care about "invisible tuples", which are now possible (although westill throw an error, just with a useful error message that phrasesthe problem in reference to this new feature). When this runs, if there is a conflict found the record will not be entered into the DB. there is no ExecModifyTable() call in respect of this newauxiliary ModifyTable plan). Use multiple conflict_target in ON. This is probably too paranoid, though: the fact that the upserter'stransaction is running ought to imply that GetOldestXmin() returns anXID sufficient to prevent this. Thanks, J-- Adrian Klaver [hidden email] Alban Hertroys-4. On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 12:07 PM, Adrian Klaver. In other words: I'm relying on the way VACUUM actually works toprevent premature garbage collection. It feels natural and appropriate to me that if the special UPDATE qualisn't satisfied, we still lock the tuple. Postgres will insert a record if it doesn’t exist, or it will update that particular record if it already does exist. Examples include MySQL's INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, or VoltDB's UPSERT statement.The absence of this fea… And this process is known as upsert, which is the combination of insert or update command. Once data has been added to a database, the SQL UPDATE command can be used to modify the column values in the rows of a table. I guess that's fair enough, but I*really* don't want to *mandate* that users specify the name of theirunique index in DML for obvious reasons. Update rules get applied by the rule system when the result relation and the For ON INSERT rules, the original query (if not suppressed by INSTEAD) is done SELECT * FROM shoelace WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT shoename FROM For ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, it is optional to specify a conflict_target; when omitted, conflicts with all usable constraints (and unique indexes) are handled. But this is aparticularly unsympathetic case, because I've deliberately exaggeratedthe effects of heavyweight lock contention on leaf pages by using aserial primary key. (Actually, that isn't quite true, sinceat least for now table inheritance, updatable views and foreign tablesare unsupported. Granted, it is kind of bizarre that theauxiliary query may have a more complex plan than is necessary for ourpurposes, but it doesn't actually appear to be a problem when"rescanning" (Like a SELECT FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE's node, we callEvalPlanQualSetTuple() directly). Having taken into account the experience of myself and Heikki, andall that is implied by taking that approach ***while avoidingunprincipled deadlocks***, you continue to believe that an approachbased on speculative heap insertion, or some alternative scheme isbetter than what I have done to the nbtree code here, or you otherwisedislike something about the proposed value locking scheme. INSERT INTO upsert (key, val) VALUES (1, 'insert') ON CONFLICT UPDATE SET val = 'update'; Essentially, the implementation has all stages of query processing track some auxiliary UPDATE state. We may or may not also actually proceedwith the update, depending on whether or not the user-specifiedspecial update predicate (if any) is satisfied. Basically, I want to be comfortableabout my rationale for it being okay that a "non-MVCC" "index scan"doesn't hold a pin, but right now I'm not. OTOH, I'm not sure that there existsanything that looks like a precedent for relying on blocking vacuum inthis manner, and it might turn out to be limiting to rely on this.And, I hasten to add, my fix (sitting on a B-Tree pin throughout rowlocking) is in another way perhaps not paranoid enough: Who is to saythat our conflicting value is on the same B-Tree leaf page as ourvalue lock? Why bother introducinga complicated distinction, if it's a distinction without a difference?I'd rather have a behavior that is consistent, easy to reason about,and easy to explain. We’ve been talking about offline-first with Hasura and RxDB (essentially Postgres and PouchDB underneath).. With "equivalent" upserts, it's about ~66,000 TPS. That makes it impossible for the heap tuple slot to fail torelate to the tuple from the B-Tree, that is under consideration forlocking/updating. As I mentioned, I have incorporated feedback from Kevin Grittner. In addition, stresstesting is an important part of my testing strategy. On an 8 core test server, I can sustain ~90,000 ordinary inserttransactions per second on an unlogged table defined as follows: create unlogged table foo( merge serial primary key, b int4, c text); In all cases pgbench uses 8 clients (1 per CPU core). I can sustain ~98,000TPS with plain updates, or ~70,000 TPS with "equivalent" upserts.B-Tree index page heavyweight lock contention probably explains someof the difference between "UPSERT inserts" and "UPSERT updates". It is a discussion and guide to implementing CouchDB style conflict resolution with Postgres (central backend database) and PouchDB (frontend app user database).. Afterall, it wasn't as if we could abort a subxact to release locks, whichis what the "UPSERT looping subxact" pattern does. ExecLockUpdateTuple() locks andpotentially updates tuples, using the EvalPlanQual() mechanism (evenat higher isolation levels, with appropriate precautions). The performance of the patch seems quite good, and is something thatthese stress-testing bash scripts also test. I couldn't come up with a convenientway to artificially inject disable_cost into alternative scan types,in the less invasive style of isCurrentOf, because there is noconvenient qual to target within cost_qual_eval(). thanks all for the support. WHERE condition – update some fields in the table. PostgreSQL - Upsert query using ON CONFLICT clause I want to insert data from a source that can contain duplicate data or data that may exist into the table, so simple I want to add data that do not exist in the table and update the table if data exist. The PostgreSQL UPDATE statement allows you to modify data in a table. It's possible to imagine a worldin which HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() is smart enough to realize thatthe tuple UPSERT wants to lock is not visible to anyone (assuming MVCCsemantics, etc), and never can be. However, unlike with that SQLite feature, CONFLICT onlyrefers to a would-be duplicate violation, and not a violation of anyother kind of constraint. When using the UPDATEstatement, all of the rows in the table can be modified or just a subset may be updated using a condition. Reply | Threaded. Pinning the heavyweight lock page's buffer iscertainly justified by the need for non-speculative inserters to see aflag that obligates them to acquire the heavyweight page lockthemselves (see comments in patch for more), but this other reason iskind of dubious. The patch has been committed , and will appear in PostgreSQL 9. Recall that we aren't quite dealing with MVCCsemantics here, since in READ COMMITTED mode we can lock aconclusively committed + visible tuple with *no* version visible toour command's MVCC snapshot. The way MySQL handles the issue seemsquestionable. You don't need a uniqueindex at all, and as I showed in my pgCon talk, there are raceconditions even for a trivial UPSERT operations in all major SQL MERGEimplementations. Once you buy into the idea that we must avoidholding on to "value locks" of whatever form - as Heikki evidently did- then exactly what form they take is ultimately only a detail.Granted, it's a very important detail, but a detail nonetheless. I welcome new, interesting test cases.). In PostgreSQL 9.5, the ON CONFLICT clause was added to INSERT. A day before yesterday, I got an email like, does it require to add a unique index on those columns which we require to be in ON CONFLICT clause? The per-tuple expression context of the auxiliary query/plan is usedwith EvalPlanQual() from within ExecLockUpdateTuple() (the new routinetasked with locking and updating on conflict). Given therestrictions necessarily imposed on this pseudo-rescanning(principally the outright rejection of anything that necessitatesPARAM_EXEC parameters during planning), this is safe, as far as I'maware. In this statement, the target can be one of the following: (column_name) – a column name. Performing inference, it consists of one or more index_column_name columns and/or index_expression expressions, and is thatthese.
