DBMS Support

• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• MariaDB

Planned Development

• SQL Server 2017+
• SQLite 3.8.8+

Usage

The same API works for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB. The package picks the grammar from your connection's driver.

MySQL / MariaDB

MySQL and MariaDB keep partitions inside the partitioned table instead of as separate tables, so a few things work differently:

• Range partitioned tables use RANGE COLUMNS and get a {table}_default partition for values below MAXVALUE. New range partitions are split off from it, so create them in ascending order. Only the end value is used. Use dateTime rather than timestamp columns as range keys.
• List partitioned tables use LIST COLUMNS and get a {table}_default partition that holds NULL. Pass integers (not numeric strings) as list values for integer columns.
• Hash partitioned tables use KEY partitioning. Each createHashPartition call adds one partition. MySQL ignores the modulus and remainder because it distributes rows itself. You can't attach or detach hash partitions.
• attachRangePartition / attachListPartition add a partition named after the table you pass and move that table's rows into it. The table stays behind, empty.
• detachPartition moves the partition's rows into a new table named after the partition, then drops the partition.
• Every primary/unique key must include the partition column, as in PostgreSQL. You can keep $table->id() with a composite key such as 'id', 'created_at'.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Range Partitioning

Instead of importing Illuminate's Schema import this package's schema:

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

Template Usage

Range Partition

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createRangePartitioned('[YourTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {
    //...
}, '[compositeKeyOne]', '[compositeKeyTwo]', '[rangePartitionKey]');

Enter null for [compositeKeyOne], [compositeKeyTwo] if you don't need a primary key.

Creating a Range Partition for a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createRangePartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[startDate]', '[endDate]');

Attaching a Range Partition to a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::attachRangePartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[startDate]', '[endDate]');

List Partition

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createListPartitioned('[YourTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {
    //...
}, '[compositeKeyOne]', '[compositeKeyTwo]', '[listPartitionKey]');

Enter null for [compositeKeyOne], [compositeKeyTwo] if you don't need a primary key.

Creating a List Partition for a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createListPartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[listPartitionValue]');

Attaching a List Partition to a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::attachListPartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[listPartitionValue]');

Hash Partition

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createHashPartitioned('[YourTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {
    //...
}, '[compositeKeyOne]', '[compositeKeyTwo]', '[hashPartitionKey]');

Enter null for [compositeKeyOne], [compositeKeyTwo] if you don't need a primary key.

Creating a Hash Partition for a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::createHashPartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[hashModulus]', '[hashRemainder]');

Attaching a Hash Partition to a Partitioned Table

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::attachHashPartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[suffixForPartition]', '[hashModulus]', '[hashRemainder]');

Removing a Partition

use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use ORPTech\MigrationPartition\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::detachPartition('[YourPartitionedTableNameHere]', function (Blueprint $table) {}, '[partitionTableName]');

Commands

New Series of Range Partition Migrations

This command will create a new series of migrations for all range partitioned tables.

php artisan partition:range

New Series of List Partition Migrations

This command will create a new series of migrations for all list partitioned tables.

php artisan partition:list

New Series of Hash Partition Migrations

This command will create a new series of migrations for all hash partitioned tables.

php artisan partition:hash

Listing Partitions

This command will list all the partitioned tables.

php artisan partition:partitions

Important

• This package currently supports PostgreSQL Range Partitions.
• You shouldn't define any primary keys in your migration. The package creates a composite key while setting up the table.
• You need to create an initial partition to start using the tables. (PostgreSQL)

Testing

composer test
