Abstract
Incremental View Maintenance (IVM) is a technique to maintain materialized views which computes and applies only the incremental changes to the materialized views to make refresh more efficient, but this is not implemented on PostgreSQL yet. In this talk, we will discuss what is necessary to implement IVM and our idea about the first version of IVM implementation on PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL has supported materialized views since 9.3. This feature is used to speed up query evaluation by storing the results of specified queries. One problem of materialized view is its maintenance. Materialized views have to be brought up to date when the underling base relations are updated. Incremental View Maintenance (IVM) is a technique to maintain materialized views which computes and applies only the incremental changes to the materialized views rather than recomputing the contents as the current REFRESH command does. This feature is not implemented on PostgreSQL yet. In this talk, after introducing some studies and discussions about IVM including our PoC (Proof of Concept) implementation, we will discuss what is necessary to implement this on PostgreSQL. For example, we have to decide how to extract changes on base tables, how to compute the delta to be applied to materialized views, when to maintain materialized views, and so on. Also, I will show our idea about the first version of IVM implementation on PostgreSQL.

Hi, hello everyone Thank you for coming to this talk. The presentation title is to what implementing incremental view maintenance on Postgres and I Would like to talk
about our work in progress implementation of incremental view maintenance on Postgres This is a technique to update material views Efficiently Before starting I would appreciate if you hold your questions
Until to the end of presentation. Thank you. I My name is Yugo Nagata an engineer at SRA OSS in Japan. I Have a postgres
Experiments Take any kind of support consulting and some education about Postgres internal architecture and currently I am in charge of around the section and especially I Am working on incremental view maintenance
today's topic This is a outline of this talk firstly I Introduce views materialized views and what is incremental view maintenance. This is called
IBM IBM then I talk about what to be considered to implement this and It's my explaining Our work in progress patches. I patch this idea and how it works Next I'll show some behavior examples and a simple performance evaluation I performed
Finally, I summarize this after some discussions I'll talk about what is incremental view maintenance
Let's start about views View is a virtual relation based on the result of stored state query and view is defined by a definition query on base tables
this is a Sorry, this is a simple example of a simple natural join views In the database only the definition query is stored So and the content state is not content
So the result is needed to be computed when query is issued to view On the other hand material view passes the results of the definition query
in the table like form So this does not need to compute the result when a query select query is issued on to this view It enables faster access to data using the normal abuse
However, the data is not always up to date so materialized view needs to matter maintenance of the data each data the data of material view is computed at the definition time
If the view is created This way is similar to create table as statements Maran that is the view That the result of the view definition query is computed and said
The result is inserted into the view To keep consistency between the materialized data and the views tables. We have to maintenance of this view so Refreshing materialized view is a way of the maintenance in process QL
When refresh materialized view command is issued The contents of materialized view is replaced with the data The result of the query is
Definition query is computed and result is inserted to the temporary table And then the data is replaced with the current materialized view data Might were by swapping
this means this need To recomputed all the result of query from scratch to refresh materialized view With concurrently option the materialized view is refreshed with
A weaker lock and without locking out concurrent select on the materialized view In this case the result of the differential query is computed and then that so this different is
Computed and this is merged to materialized view This has a weaker lock but it is safe that we need to recomputed all the result of the definition query from scratch
Incremental view maintenance We call RVM is another technique
to maintenance view maintenance materialized view This computed and applies only the incremental changes to the materialized view This figure out RVM
Formally This Base tables data and This is a B definition query and using this table data and query We can compute it content of materialized view
and Then where some update is issued on the base table. This table is modified to This is updated updated base tables content We can compute The applet so up to date the latest materialized views content by
Using view definition and this new contents of the table This is the computation and this is that the refresh command is doing on the other hand
Update to base tables from the from the change of base tables we can compute the change of the materialized view and Applying this change to the old materialized views data and we can get
New up-to-date materialized view contents data This red line is that what IVM is doing I'll explain the basic theory of IVM in this slide
So This is a view definition the view definition is described in Relational algebra form this is a simple example This is a natural drawing view of table R and R and S
Okay and This In this notation This navra are
embedded Greek Delta R is a tuples deleted from this table and This third triangle are there are is a tuples inserted to this table You think this
changes deltas and this view definition we can compute changes on view now will be an database In natural joint case this is
Like this and After that applying these changes to the view we can get Up to date materialized view data This is an example In this case the contents of R is like this
contents of table S is like this and this is a natural joint view Okay after table R is changed
R is changed the first rows this data is changed So number R is like this. This is a Or number R. This is an older data and Delta R is this is a new data This is a changes on the table
and in this case we can compute the change on the view by calculate joining this changes and Table S and the result is like like this number V on delta V
Finally the view is updated by applying applying these changes like this number V and delta V Applying this way this
Tuples in view is updated updated like this Next I Explained or Implementation idea of IVM
There are several considerations for implementing IVM first have to extract changes on base tables
About this we use after triggers and pruncheon tables I Explained about this in other thread Also logical decoding of a word bar is another idea
But we have not a conscious this will so we use after trigger second How to compute that delta changes on to be applied to material abuse
This is basically based on relational algebra algebra In theory we can handle barriers view definition Complex view definition, but We start we start from a simple view definition that is
selection project on join use Sorry, yeah Fine fine to mutt maintain paint up late, but as abuse There is a two approaches in theory
One is immediate maintenance and another is deferred maintenance in immediate maintenance views Updated in the same transaction where the base table is updated
On the other hand in deferred maintenance The views are updated after the transaction is commit For example fan view is access it as a response to use command right to fresh command or
The view is updated periodically and so on And Rest how to handle views with top of duplicates what distinct clothes?
This is an example of views with double duplicate There are two semi tuples this is duplicate and Suppose applying this change to this view
In This case only one couple is this only one top must be deleted rather than deleting all of them We cannot use simple direct a direct settlement because this we
delete both of two of tuples and matching The Values of the column another problem view with distinct class
in this case Duplicate is duplicate in best table is eliminated by distinct class Suppose uprising these changes to dispute
For Everything this purpose a popular should be This tupper should be deleted if and only if Depreciate over the Tupper becomes zero after this step deleted if
this means Deleting this table only one so if best table had Only one this table this channel deleted disputes, but This best table have to this tuples
We can delete this top from view because One couple is one couple is left in view in best relations Also, thank inside in this couple Additional topic cannot be in fact if there is already already the same one
This table is already exist in the view so after is that applying these changes? We cannot insert a new table in this view
Other implementation or I mean we last year we proposed an I will implementation at PC conf you
28 2018 this is a POC a proof-of-concept implementation of using a tupper row or IDs Or ID due to all ideas this can handle builds with the priesty correctly
The OID is used as a primary keys on Tupper's in materials views OID is System current so this is invisible to use us so we can handle views with Tupper duplicate correctly
if Tupper's Value is same OID is different so we can Use OID Also, this kink is not supported in this implement and in this implementation
material views can be Incrementally updated using refresh command, so this was a kind of deferred maintenance But This there are some problems on this approach First of all or why the system come is removed
In postgres 12, so we can't use this approach any longer Also, there was some difficulty to implement difficulty for implementation because this needs Many changed in executor nodes
for example Therefore After some surveys on IOM we started to work on a new IOM implementation The working in progress part of this new implementation has been submitted to the business hackers mailing list
From now I explain this implementation This provides a kind of immediate maintenance That is material view
Updated automatically and incrementally after their best tables are updated This is performed in Aptatouria Also this support of views including the duplicate tupper's or distinct growth in view definition
For this purpose we use counting algorithm What is counting algorithm? Counting this algorithm is an algorithm for handling tupper duplicates or distinct in
maintenance in maintenance view maintenance In this algorithm the number of tupper is counted and stored in material view Example sorry This means first tupper Has
One tupper this tupper has two tupper's answer this tupper is has one diversity and then then Just this changes applied to the view
for tupper insertion And the tupper had to be inserted into a view that count is increasing Okay
This is insertion and This counter is incremented and fender tupper are to be deleted from the view the current is decorative And if the count becomes zero and this is one to From one to two, but if this is from
from one to zero This count if the count becomes zero the tupper must be deleted from the view Next actually how this works in detail and how to implement it
Think waiting material view to create material views with supporting with IVM support this syntax is used create incremental material view This command create material view
Which is automatically and incrementally updated after base table change it Please note that this syntax is just tentative in the In the current part so it may be changed in future
This is a example create a incremental matters view. This incremental is Every option During fighting Matter as view is populated. It's a number of the top up counted by
Adding counter a star is a star and group by is to the way And this result of counting is stored in the material view as a special common name
We use IVM counter in the current party this is a equivalent query performed at creating materials view Select count as IVM count and group by this is columns
In target list and also in the after polygons On all base tables are created
They are created for insert delete and apply to query and as a statement level trigger and with crunch on tip, I'll explain the next slide and Not that this polygons are created Automatically and internally instead of issuing create trigger settlement directory. This is
similar to the implementation of foreign key consolines This is a great example Decavalent query of this equation create trigger
This same a Frontion table is a feature of after three words introduced from since postgres QL 10 Using this feature Changes on table can be referred in the trigger function by using table name specified by
referencing Class right this in difference in new table as I've a new table all the table as I've been all tape In this case
IVM all the tape contains a purpose deleted from the table in this in a statement and I've a new table content of toughest and newly inserted to the table in this settlement in theory This is collecting
Nabla are on data are respectively In the after trigger function change on views are calculated This is performed by rewriting the view definition query Specifically by replacing the base table in the query with a function table specified
And friends the trigger is created and also Count us and group by is added to count the diversity of tuples and the result in stored inserted into
temporary tables Which corresponds now will be and There's a way that changes on view and this is a equivalent query Okay This is
same Previewed query in the current Asta and the counter by is added and since the difference is The table name is the press it by transition tape their tables name And this is all the table on this new table
After calculate this changes the view can be updated by merging this for each tuple in changes table if Corresponding a tupper already existed in the view the value of I've M count is
updated instead of executing delete and insert delete or insert a settlement simply And then the current becomes Zero the corresponding Tupper is deleted from the view
This process is performed by using modifying CTE Like this And this is a fan applying Double division
and After searching material abuse and if the same Tupper is Existing in the view so I've M current is updated and if not
If the current becomes zero so Tupper is deleted And Tupper insertion example a updated I've M count If the Tupper is already in the view and if not
insert the new Tupper's in into the view Finally fan what is the view? Is accessed that is the fan select query is issued for much as a view and there are two cases
One is view is defined with distinct class and case as us is Distinct is not used Then this thing is used in query all come except to I've M count
of each tap return Not that the diversity of the tablets are already eliminated by A grape by so this is a correct result of distinct And if distinct is not is not used in view
Each Tupper is returned I've M count, but it's timeless This is performed by rewriting the query to replace the view with a sub query
which joins The view itself and generate a series like this generation one to the I mean kind of value
I'll show some example behavior This is a simple example This created simple matter as a view with I've M option And after and that context is at this and
Inserting a couple in its best relation best table And then Select query for this view returns the new tupper's That is a view is
automatically updated This is a simple example This is an example view with double duplicate This is a best table and matters view with incremental option is created like this
Base table has a four rows, but the contents of matter view is actual three rows
And this is because diversity is eliminated by group by And then And after that the contents of matter view is that The result return result shows There's four rows
After inserting a low 5b into the best table and very thing 1 a and 3c from this base table
After that the contents is correctly updated The before content is that and the new contents is like this 1 a 1 a is deleted and
the 1b and 1c C is deleted and B is added as an example
so IBM current clamp is Normally invisible for users as shown before however this can be visible If this is specified explicitly in the target list this may change in future, but
This means the a 5b is There are two beats in materials view and one is in materials views and then explain command is performed You can see the internal
mechanism you try uses of generate speeds like this explain result finally I'll show the result of a simple performance evaluation I use the two materialized view of a simple natural joint and the
Pg bench table is Used the tables are used and the scale factor is 100 and one view is a normal materialized view and another is a materialized view with incremental option and
The different definition is the same first of all I measured execution time of refresh of a normal materialized view in this case it looks
It took more than 10 seconds On the other hand after creating index on matters view and updating And one over the best table the view Pg bench account
It takes only 18 milliseconds And the contents of matters view is updated automatically and correctly this is rapid than normal refresh command
however after dropping the index I think the best table took about four seconds Although this is a faster than normal refresh
But this shows the appropriate index is necessary on the test view for efficient IVM this Information is a working progress. So there are many restrictions the current implementation supports
view with selection projection in a joint and distinct aggregation and group by and Self-join sub query after joining city window function set operations are not supported for now
However, I would like to deal with a part of Applications by the first list of IVM and about a timing of view maintenance the current
implementation supports only a kind of Immediate maintenance that is views updated immediately immediately after a base table is modified On the other hand, we also need deferred maintenance In that approach views
Updated after the transaction for example by the command is a command like refresh So to implement this deferred approach we need I think we need mechanism to maintain change logs of base table
For example, we're Maintaining that changes Ocado in base table and maintain and control
What log is needed and what log it's Unnecessary and can be deleted and so on Also, there could be another immediate
Mean there is implementation in that The view updated at the end of transaction that modified the best tables instead of after triggers In this case Several tables related
Several table are changes several best table can be changing. So this approach also need to Implement log change log maintenance mechanism as well as deferred maintenance
There will be discussion about counting algorithm implementation of this part firstly in our implementation IVM count is tolerated as a special current name. So Maybe this name has to be inhibit in user table or at rest in materials view
However, I'm not sure it is accessible to use such a special current name There is as a better way Second
General rate series function is used from material views with Table duplicate is accessed Actually This does not Have to be generate a series function. We are able to make a new set of returning function for this pump this purpose
but there Despite of their performance issues And this is a problem first due to using such a function Planar low number estimation gets wrong. So this can
have an impact on performance and also the cost of Joining the function and as a view it could be high So due to this performance issues, so maybe
We might have to add a new plan node To support to implement counting algorithm instead of using a set returning functions other issues
Fine concurrent transactions modify best tables. There could be a long lock waiting Raise conditions that these are the wrong result of the maintenance This is a big problem
so We need more investigation investigation for this issue I mean we are investigating now in addition we Could do some optimizations for example
Counting algorithm is not Necessary not needed if a view does not have distinct work Duplicates double duplicate so in that case We can skip extra work for counting Also fan say overhead of IVM is higher than normal refresh
We should use Later a normal refresh instead of IVM for make this decision We would we can use
optimizers cost estimation This might be useful sorry In this talk we explain our implementation of increment implementation of incremental view maintenance On post work you will and this are always a kind of immediate view maintenance using after real
This can handle views with Topics duplicate and distinct class using counting algorithm
This is a back in progress and so there are a lot of to do in future By the first Brief of IBM I direct support aggregation and group by and I would like to implement
Defied maintenance after that of course we also resolve concurrent transaction issued and consider some optimizations This Working in process patch a has been submitted to pieces have got the list
The subject is implementing Incremental view maintenance, so we are so happy if you give us any suggestion opinion comments on this thread Thank you, that's all any question
Collect the ID of the piece that would have been affected by the change
Reusing the view definition with a filter for just
You're gonna run into problems when you get into aggregates that are not reversible and some are reversible
But that's a loss Can I put it in the next No Okay The whole point of the story I don't know if anybody else thinks about this but
I like the idea of actually doing it but if there is some
Option to do
If we use low-level trigger Calculation of change the own view is necessary for each rose
I think It Have a rise overhead So so I think it is better to use statement level
What do you do what is your opinion about? These are block tables materializing logs versus what I understand to be temporary tables in your implementation right now Seems like you'd be doing inserts into either the temporary table or the materialized view log in either case Why choose one versus the other?
Why not create a materialized view log? At the temporary table? No
The question is why we don't use a transition road I'm just trying to work Like Oracle Why not do that
I just started Small stuff so But To support deferred maintenance
We need Some log mechanism log maintenance mechanism So I'd Implement designed log mechanism eventually
This is a somewhat other folk and Pink passing passing a scared statement
And expanding after this select after this target raised If The table
If this name is crumb is there just ignore it
Yes, yes, yes, I'm aware Yes, I Realize this thank you for solution. Thank you. Thank you
