Support ALGORITHM=NOCOPY for CHANGE virtual column expression

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Currently, the ALTER TABLE operation ALTER_STORED_GCOL_EXPR (changing the expression of a generated stored column, or materialized virtual column) is only supported by ALGORITHM=COPY, which does a full rebuild of the table.

      We could support the operation with ALGORITHM=NOCOPY by validating all data and executing UPDATE of the data. Concurrent non-locking MVCC reads would be possible, but concurrent writes to the table could lead to locking conflicts.
