To incorporate new columns, you must recreate the view.
#Alter table add column update
+-Īdding new columns to a table that has an associated view does not update the view's result set, even if the view uses a wildcard (*) to represent all table columns. ORDER BY projection_name, projection_column_name => SELECT projection_column_name, projection_name FROM projection_columns WHERE table_name ILIKE 'store_orders' => ALTER TABLE public.store_orders ADD COLUMN delivery_date date PROJECTIONS (store_orders_p) Because the statement omits the PROJECTIONS option, Vertica adds the column only to the table's superprojection: To workaround this issue, use the timestamp datatype instead. ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMNS does not work for columns with the date datatype. To add a column with PRIMARY KEY constraint, give the following command.

The following ALTER TABLE…ADD COLUMN statement adds column expected_ship_date to the store_orders table. To see a new table column in the Athena Query Editor navigation pane after you run ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMNS, manually refresh the table list in the editor, and then expand the table again. You can also add a column to an existing table with PRIMARY KEY constraint only if the table is empty and if there is no PRIMARY KEY already existing in the table. ALL PROJECTIONS adds the column to all projections of this table, excluding projections with pre-aggregated data.įor example, the store_orders table has two projections-superprojection store_orders_super, and user-created projection store_orders_p.

The projection list cannot include projections with pre-aggregated data such as live aggregate projections otherwise, Vertica rolls back the ALTER TABLE statement. Vertica adds the column to all buddies of each projection.

The lock also blocks SELECT statements issued at SERIALIZABLE isolation level, until the operation completes.Īdding a column to a table does not affect K-safety of the physical schema design. The lock prevents DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT, and COPY statements from accessing the table. alter table add brandid smallint alter table add column brandid smallint default 1 - this is possible only if the table contains no data add. When you use ADD COLUMN to alter a table, Vertica takes an O lock on the table until the operation completes. Example: ALTER TABLE altertest ADD COLUMN Added1. In this scenario, SQLite appends the new column at the end of the. Alternatively, you can add constraints later (see below) after you've filled in the new column correctly.Before you add columns to a table, verify that all its superprojections are up to date. This approach allows us to complete the ALTER query instantly, without increasing the volume of old data. You can use the SQLite ALTER TABLE statement to add a new column to an existing table. Keep in mind however that the default value must satisfy the given constraints, or the ADD will fail. In fact all the options that can be applied to a column description in CREATE TABLE can be used here. You can also define constraints on the column at the same time, using the usual syntax:ĪLTER TABLE products ADD COLUMN description text CHECK (description '')

To avoid a potentially lengthy update operation, particularly if you intend to fill the column with mostly nondefault values anyway, it may be preferable to add the column with no default, insert the correct values using UPDATE, and then add any desired default as described below. However, if the default value is volatile (e.g., clock_timestamp()) each row will need to be updated with the value calculated at the time ALTER TABLE is executed. Instead, the default value will be returned the next time the row is accessed, and applied when the table is rewritten, making the ALTER TABLE very fast even on large tables. From PostgreSQL 11, adding a column with a constant default value no longer means that each row of the table needs to be updated when the ALTER TABLE statement is executed.
