PostgreSQL中实现Update前的备份骚操作

参考文章：【PostgreSQL 如何实现upsert与新旧数据自动分离】

背景

很多业务也行有这样的需求，新的数据会不断的插入，并且可能会有更新。 对于更新的数据，需要记录更新前的记录到历史表。 这个需求有点类似于审计需求，即需要对记录变更前后做审计。 本文的目的并不是审计，而且也可能不期望使用触发器。

还有什么方法呢？
PostgreSQL 这么高大上，当然有，而且还能在一句SQL里面完成，看法宝。

骚操作

创建一张当前状态表，一张历史记录表。

postgres=# create table tbl(id int primary key, price int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table tbl_history (id int not null, price int);
CREATE TABLE

插入一条不存在的记录，不会触发插入历史表的行为。
注意替代变量

id=$1 = 2
price=$2 = 7

postgres=# with old as (select * from tbl where id= $1), 
postgres-# new as (insert into tbl values ($1, $2) on conflict (id) do update set price=excluded.price where tbl.price<>excluded.price returning *) 
postgres-# insert into tbl_history select old.* from old,new where old.id=new.id;
INSERT 0 0

postgres=# select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl union all select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl_history ;
 tableoid | ctid  | id | price 
----------+-------+----+-------
    18243 | (0,1) |  2 |     7
(1 row)

插入一条不存在的记录，不会触发插入历史表的行为。

id=$1 = 1
price=$2 = 1

postgres=# with old as (select * from tbl where id= $1), 
new as (insert into tbl values ($1, $2) on conflict (id) do update set price=excluded.price where tbl.price<>excluded.price returning *) 
insert into tbl_history select old.* from old,new where old.id=new.id;
INSERT 0 0
postgres=# select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl union all select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl_history ;
 tableoid | ctid  | id | price 
----------+-------+----+-------
    18243 | (0,1) |  2 |     7
    18243 | (0,2) |  1 |     1
(2 rows)

插入一条已存在的记录，并且有数据的变更，触发数据插入历史表的行为。

id=$1 = 1
price=$2 = 2

postgres=# with old as (select * from tbl where id= $1), 
new as (insert into tbl values ($1, $2) on conflict (id) do update set price=excluded.price where tbl.price<>excluded.price returning *) 
insert into tbl_history select old.* from old,new where old.id=new.id;
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl union all select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl_history ;
 tableoid | ctid  | id | price 
----------+-------+----+-------
    18243 | (0,1) |  2 |     7
    18243 | (0,3) |  1 |     2
    18251 | (0,1) |  1 |     1
(3 rows)

插入一条已存在的记录，并且已存在的记录值和老值一样，不会触发将数据插入历史表的行为。

id=$1 = 1
price=$2 = 2

postgres=# with old as (select * from tbl where id= $1), 
new as (insert into tbl values ($1, $2) on conflict (id) do update set price=excluded.price where tbl.price<>excluded.price returning *) 
insert into tbl_history select old.* from old,new where old.id=new.id;
INSERT 0 0
postgres=# select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl union all select tableoid,ctid,* from tbl_history ;
 tableoid | ctid  | id | price 
----------+-------+----+-------
    18243 | (0,1) |  2 |     7
    18243 | (0,3) |  1 |     2
    18251 | (0,1) |  1 |     1
(3 rows)

执行计划

postgres=# explain with old as (select * from tbl where id= $1), 
new as (insert into tbl values ($1, $2) on conflict (id) do update set price=excluded.price where tbl.price<>excluded.price returning *) 
insert into tbl_history select old.* from old,new where old.id=new.id;

           Index Cond: (id = 1)
