Allow ALGORITHM=NOCOPY for ADD CONSTRAINT

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The ADD FOREIGN KEY and ADD CHECK constraints currently require the table to be rebuilt with ALGORITHM=COPY.

      We could support these operations instantly if the user specified a WITHOUT VALIDATION clause. We currently do support instant ADD FOREIGN KEY after SET foreign_key_checks=0, but there is no such mechanism for ADD CONSTRAINT CHECK.

      When validation is not suppressed, we should only scan the table and validate the added constraints. There is no need to write any data to the table. For LOCK=NONE operation, we may need to ‘subscribe’ to concurrent modifications somehow.
