插入,更新,删除操作在具有大量数据的表中会变的很慢。通过分区表的分区交换可以快速实现这个过程。
分区交换的条件
分区交换总是涉及两个表。数据从源表交换到目标表。所以目标表必须总是空的。
分区交换有很多要求的条件,下面是一些比较重要的:
- 源表和目标表(或者分区)必须有一样的列,索引,并且使用同样的分区列。
- 源表和目标表(或者分区)必须在同一个文件组中
- 目标表(或者分区)必须是空的
如果这些条件不满足,会报错。
分区交换示例
分区交换要使用 ALTER TABLE SWITCH 语法。下面是使用这个语法的4中方式:
- 从一个无分区的表交换到另一个无分区的表
- 从一个无分区的表交换到另一个分区表的一个分区
- 从一个分区表的一个分区交换到另一个无分区的表
- 从一个分区表的一个分区交换到另一个分区表的一个分区
下面的例子中,不会创建任何的索引,并且它们所有的分区都在PRIMARY文件组中。
这些示例并不意味着在实际使用时的例子。
1.无分区表到无分区表的交换
第一种方式,交换一个无分区表的所有数据到另一个空的无分区表
ALTER TABLE Source SWITCH TO Target
交换前:
交换后:
这种方式不是很常用,但是它确实是学习 ALTER TABLE SWITCH语法的比较好的方式,
因为它不要求必须要创建 分区函数(partition functions) 和 分区架构(partition schemes):
-- Drop objects if they already exist IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesSource') DROP TABLE SalesSource; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesTarget') DROP TABLE SalesTarget; -- Create the Non-Partitioned Source Table (Heap) on the [PRIMARY] filegroup CREATE TABLE SalesSource ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON [PRIMARY]; -- Insert test data INSERT INTO SalesSource(SalesDate, Quantity) SELECT DATEADD(DAY,dates.n-1,'2012-01-01') AS SalesDate, qty.n AS Quantity FROM GetNums(DATEDIFF(DD,'2012-01-01','2016-01-01')) dates CROSS JOIN GetNums(1000) AS qty; -- Create the Non-Partitioned Target Table (Heap) on the [PRIMARY] filegroup CREATE TABLE SalesTarget ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON [PRIMARY]; -- Verify row count before switch SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesSource; -- 1461000 rows SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesTarget; -- 0 rows -- Turn on statistics SET STATISTICS TIME ON; -- Is it really that fast...? ALTER TABLE SalesSource SWITCH TO SalesTarget; -- YEP! SUPER FAST! -- Turn off statistics SET STATISTICS TIME OFF; -- Verify row count after switch SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesSource; -- 0 rows SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesTarget; -- 1461000 rows -- If we try to switch again we will get an error: ALTER TABLE SalesSource SWITCH TO SalesTarget; -- Msg 4905, ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. The target table 'SalesTarget' must be empty. -- But if we try to switch back to the now empty Source table, it works: ALTER TABLE SalesTarget SWITCH TO SalesSource; -- (...STILL SUPER FAST!)
2.无分区表到有分区表的交换
第二种方式,使用 ALTER TABLE SWITCH 语法交换无分区表的所有数据到一个分区表指定的空的分区。
ALTER TABLE Source SWITCH TO Target PARTITION 1
交换前:
交换后:
如下sql
-- Drop objects if they already exist IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesSource') DROP TABLE SalesSource; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesTarget') DROP TABLE SalesTarget; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.partition_schemes WHERE name = N'psSales') DROP PARTITION SCHEME psSales; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.partition_functions WHERE name = N'pfSales') DROP PARTITION FUNCTION pfSales; -- Create the Partition Function CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION pfSales (DATE) AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES ('2013-01-01', '2014-01-01', '2015-01-01'); -- Create the Partition Scheme CREATE PARTITION SCHEME psSales AS PARTITION pfSales ALL TO ([Primary]); -- Create the Non-Partitioned Source Table (Heap) on the [PRIMARY] filegroup CREATE TABLE SalesSource ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON [PRIMARY]; -- Insert test data INSERT INTO SalesSource(SalesDate, Quantity) SELECT DATEADD(DAY,dates.n-1,'2012-01-01') AS SalesDate, qty.n AS Quantity FROM GetNums(DATEDIFF(DD,'2012-01-01','2013-01-01')) dates CROSS JOIN GetNums(1000) AS qty; -- Create the Partitioned Target Table (Heap) on the Partition Scheme CREATE TABLE SalesTarget ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON psSales(SalesDate); -- Insert test data INSERT INTO SalesTarget(SalesDate, Quantity) SELECT DATEADD(DAY,dates.n-1,'2013-01-01') AS SalesDate, qty.n AS Quantity FROM GetNums(DATEDIFF(DD,'2013-01-01','2016-01-01')) dates CROSS JOIN GetNums(1000) AS qty; -- Verify row count before switch SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesSource; -- 366000 rows SELECT pstats.partition_number AS PartitionNumber ,pstats.row_count AS PartitionRowCount FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats AS pstats WHERE pstats.object_id = OBJECT_ID('SalesTarget') ORDER BY PartitionNumber; -- 0 rows in Partition 1, 365000 rows in Partitions 2-4 -- Turn on statistics SET STATISTICS TIME ON; -- Is it really that fast...? ALTER TABLE SalesSource SWITCH TO SalesTarget PARTITION 1; -- NOPE! We get an error: -- Msg 4982, ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. Check constraints of source table 'SalesSource' -- allow values that are not allowed by range defined by partition 1 on target table 'Sales'. -- Add constraints to the source table to ensure it only contains data with values -- that are allowed in partition 1 on the target table ALTER TABLE SalesSource WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT ckMinSalesDate CHECK (SalesDate IS NOT NULL AND SalesDate >= '2012-01-01'); ALTER TABLE SalesSource WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT ckMaxSalesDate CHECK (SalesDate IS NOT NULL AND SalesDate < '2013-01-01'); -- Try again. Is it really that fast...? ALTER TABLE SalesSource SWITCH TO SalesTarget PARTITION 1; -- YEP! SUPER FAST! -- Turn off statistics SET STATISTICS TIME OFF; -- Verify row count after switch SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesSource; -- 0 rows SELECT pstats.partition_number AS PartitionNumber ,pstats.row_count AS PartitionRowCount FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats AS pstats WHERE pstats.object_id = OBJECT_ID('SalesTarget') ORDER BY PartitionNumber; -- 366000 rows in Partition 1, 365000 rows in Partitions 2-4
3.分区表交换到一个无分区表
第三种方式,使用ALTER TABLE SWITCH语法,把一个分区表的指定分区的数据交换到一个空的无分区表。
ALTER TABLE Source SWITCH PARTITION 1 TO Target
交换前:
交换后:
如下sql:
-- Drop objects if they already exist IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesSource') DROP TABLE SalesSource; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.tables WHERE name = N'SalesTarget') DROP TABLE SalesTarget; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.partition_schemes WHERE name = N'psSales') DROP PARTITION SCHEME psSales; IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.partition_functions WHERE name = N'pfSales') DROP PARTITION FUNCTION pfSales; -- Create the Partition Function CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION pfSales (DATE) AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES ('2013-01-01', '2014-01-01', '2015-01-01'); -- Create the Partition Scheme CREATE PARTITION SCHEME psSales AS PARTITION pfSales ALL TO ([Primary]); -- Create the Partitioned Source Table (Heap) on the Partition Scheme CREATE TABLE SalesSource ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON psSales(SalesDate); -- Insert test data INSERT INTO SalesSource(SalesDate, Quantity) SELECT DATEADD(DAY,dates.n-1,'2012-01-01') AS SalesDate, qty.n AS Quantity FROM GetNums(DATEDIFF(DD,'2012-01-01','2016-01-01')) dates CROSS JOIN GetNums(1000) AS qty; -- Create the Non-Partitioned Target Table (Heap) on the [PRIMARY] filegroup CREATE TABLE SalesTarget ( SalesDate DATE, Quantity INT ) ON [PRIMARY]; -- Verify row count before switch SELECT pstats.partition_number AS PartitionNumber ,pstats.row_count AS PartitionRowCount FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats AS pstats WHERE pstats.object_id = OBJECT_ID('Sales') ORDER BY PartitionNumber; -- 366000 rows in Partition 1, 365000 rows in Partitions 2-4 SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SalesTarget; -- 0 rows -- Turn on statistics SET STATISTICS TIME ON; -- Is it really that fast...? ALTER TABLE SalesSource SWITCH PARTITION 1 TO SalesTarget; -- YEP!

4.分区表交换到分区表

交换前:
交换后:

错误信息(Error messages)
sql server 会提供详细的信息,当条件不满足时。你可以通过运行下面的查询,查看与 ALTER TABLE SWITCH有关的信息。
SELECT message_id, text FROM sys.messages WHERE language_id = 1033 AND text LIKE '%ALTER TABLE SWITCH%';
