ALTER DEFAULT SHARDING STRATEGY

Description

The ALTER DEFAULT SHARDING STRATEGY syntax is used to alter a default sharding strategy

Syntax

AlterDefaultShardingStrategy ::=
  'ALTER' 'DEFAULT' 'SHARDING' ('DATABASE' | 'TABLE') 'STRATEGY' '(' shardingStrategy ')'
shardingStrategy ::=
  'TYPE' '=' strategyType ',' ( 'SHARDING_COLUMN' '=' columnName  | 'SHARDING_COLUMNS' '=' columnNames ) ',' ( 'SHARDING_ALGORITHM' '=' algorithmName | algorithmDefinition )
algorithmDefinition ::=
  'TYPE' '(' 'NAME' '=' algorithmType ',' 'PROPERTIES'  '(' propertyDefinition ')' ')'  
columnNames ::=
  columnName (',' columnName)+
columnName ::=
  identifier
algorithmName ::=
  identifier
algorithmType ::=
  string

Supplement

• When using the complex sharding algorithm, multiple sharding columns need to be specified using SHARDING_COLUMNS;
• algorithmType is the sharding algorithm type. For detailed sharding algorithm type information, please refer to Sharding Algorithm.

Example

• Alter a default sharding table strategy

ALTER DEFAULT SHARDING TABLE STRATEGY (
    TYPE="standard", SHARDING_COLUMN=user_id, SHARDING_ALGORITHM(TYPE(NAME="inline", PROPERTIES("algorithm-expression"="t_order_${user_id % 2}")))
);
