Garbage in the compound index after several updates ---------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5877 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5877 Project: Firebird Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Engine Affects Versions: 3.0.3, 2.5.8 Reporter: Dmitriy Starodubov create table test( id numeric(15), state smallint, priority smallint); create descending index idx_desc on test(priority, state); set term ^; execute block as declare variable i integer; begin i = 0; while (i < 1000) do begin insert into test (id, state, priority) values(:i, 1, 1); i = i + 1; end end^ After this "gstat -r" shows expected 1000 records and 1000 index nodes. But after several updates too many nodes are created. update test set state=2; update test set state=3; commit; I repeat it 5 times and get such statistics: TEST (128) Primary pointer page: 166, Index root page: 167 Average record length: 13.74, total records: 1000 Average version length: 13.74, total versions: 1000, max versions: 1 ... Index IDX_DESC (0) Depth: 2, leaf buckets: 5, nodes: 5000 Average data length: 0.01, total dup: 4999, max dup: 4999 And these nodes are not deleted after cleaning table and garbage collecting. SQL> delete from test; SQL> commit; SQL> select * from test; TEST (128) Primary pointer page: 166, Index root page: 167 Average record length: 0.00, total records: 0 Average version length: 0.00, total versions: 0, max versions: 0 ...
