[0003] For the MySQL database, the DDL operation is obviously a function that all MySQL DBAs criticize, because in MySQL, the table will be locked when DDL is performed on the table, causing a large number of threads on the database to be in the "Waiting for meta datalock" state, which seriously affects the line. The business is running normally

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for online DDL table structure modification of a relational database, and relates to the field of relational databases (MySQL). The method comprises the steps: creating a shadow table according to a DDL function needing to be modified while an original table is not locked and a service system continuously maintains DML operation on the original table; after the shadow table is created, copying the data in the original table into the shadow table; checking the copy data in the shadow table and the data of the original table; and when the verificationresults of the shadow table and the original table are consistent, guaranteeing the consistency of the copied table data, copying and renaming the shadow table of the original table data, replacing the original table. The whole DDL table structure modification process does not affect normal operation of online services at all, and efficient processing of a large number of threads in the table structure modification process is guaranteed, and normal operation of a service system can be maintained, and target writing operation of a front-end application is not affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of relational databases (MySQL), in particular to a method and device for online DDL modification of table structures of relational databases. Background technique [0002] After the project uses the MySQL database to officially launch the production environment, due to business changes or database operation and maintenance, we will always encounter business scenarios where DDL changes are made to data tables, such as adding, modifying, and deleting fields or indexes for certain tables. [0003] For the MySQL database, the DDL operation is obviously a function that all MySQL DBAs criticize, because in MySQL, the table will be locked when DDL is performed on the table, causing a large number of threads on the database to be in the "Waiting for meta datalock" state, which seriously affects the line. Business is running normally. Contents of the invention [0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present inve...
