Indeksy na kolumnach z wartościami nullowymi cz. 2

Jest jeszcze jeden sposób indeksowania, który pozwala nam na bardzo wygodne korzystanie z indeksów i wyszukiwanie wartości nullowych. Mianowicie indeks jest prostym indeksem składającym się z dwóch kolumn – tej po której chcemy wyszukiwać i wartości stałej. Np: 

create index kolumna_IDX on tabela (kolumna, TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd'));

i wtedy możemy pisać zapytania: 

select * from tabela where kolumna is null

i indeks zadziała! Zrobiłam też porównanie dla tabeli, gdzie stosunek ilości nullowych wierszy do wszystkich w tabeli wynosi: 1.002/131.002 I założyłam indeks 

create index AA2_IDX on AAAAA2_TEST (NVL(MODIFY_DATE,TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd')))

Koszt zapytania: 

select COUNT(*) from aaaaa2_test WHERE NVL(modify_DATE,TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')) = TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'syyyy-mm-dd')

wyniósł 38 zaś dla indeksu: 

create index AA_IDX on AAAAA2_TEST (FROM_DATE, TO_DATE('4000-01-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd'))

i zapytania: 

select COUNT(*) from aaaaa2_test WHERE FROM_DATE IS NULL

wyniósł 28. Dla większej ilości nullowych rekordów tzn. 11002/131.002 stosunek kosztów wyniósł 43/28, a więc znów zdecydowanie na korzyść indeksu dwukolumnowego.

Simple trick to DRY your Grails controller

Grails controllers are not very DRY. It's easy to find duplicated code fragments in default generated controller. Take a look at code sample below. It is duplicated four times in show, edit, update and delete actions:

class BookController {
def show() {
def bookInstance = Book.get(params.id)
if (!bookInstance) {
flash.message = message(code: 'default.not.found.message', args: [message(code: 'book.label', default: 'Book'), params.id])
redirect(action: "list")
return
        }
        [bookInstance: bookInstance]
    }
}

Why is it duplicated?

There is a reason for that duplication, though. If you move this snippet to a method, it can redirect to "list" action, but it can't prevent controller from further execution. After you call redirect, response status changes to 302, but after method exits, controller still runs subsequent code.

Solution

At TouK we've implemented a simple trick to resolve that situation:

  1. wrap everything with a simple withStoppingOnRender method,
  2. whenever you want to render or redirect AND stop controller execution - throw EndRenderingException.

We call it Big Return - return from a method and return from a controller at once. Here is how it works:

class BookController {
def show(Long id) {
withStoppingOnRender {
Book bookInstance = Book.get(id)
validateInstanceExists(bookInstance)
            [bookInstance: bookInstance]
        }
    }

protected Object withStoppingOnRender(Closure closure) {
try {
return closure.call()
        } catch (EndRenderingException e) {}
    }

private void validateInstanceExists(Book instance) {
if (!instance) {
flash.message = message(code: 'default.not.found.message', args: [message(code: 'book.label', default: 'Book'), params.id])
redirect(action: "list")
throw new EndRenderingException()
        }
    }
}

class EndRenderingException extends RuntimeException {}

Example usage

For simple CRUD controllers, you can use this solution and create some BaseController class for your controllers. We use withStoppingOnRender in every controller so code doesn't look like a spaghetti, we follow DRY principle and code is self-documented. Win-win-win! Here is a more complex example:

class DealerController {
@Transactional
def update() {
withStoppingOnRender {
Dealer dealerInstance = Dealer.get(params.id)
validateInstanceExists(dealerInstance)
validateAccountInExternalService(dealerInstance)
checkIfInstanceWasConcurrentlyModified(dealerInstance, params.version)
            dealerInstance.properties = params
saveUpdatedInstance(dealerInstance)
redirectToAfterUpdate(dealerInstance)
        }
    }
}
