Support non-nullable field additions in schema migrations via @default - #3046
azproduction wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Adding a non-nullable field to an entity that already has rows threw 'Non-nullable field creation is not supported'. A field can now declare @default(value: ...); the migration adds the column with that constant as its default, which fills every existing row and historical version without a table rewrite, then drops the default so new rows keep coming from the mappings. Fields without @default, and fields whose type or nullability changed (drop + add), are still refused.

🌐 Web query:
site:postgresql.org/docs/current datatype numeric double precision range overflow input 1e999
💡 Result:
PostgreSQL’s current documentation says `double precision` has an approximate range of **1E−307 to 1E+308** and that values too large or small cause an error. So `1e999` is out of range and should error when parsed as `double precision`. The docs give the range, but don’t specifically demonstrate that literal.

Reject Float defaults outside PostgreSQL’s double precision range.
The Float pattern accepts 1e999, and setDefaultValue stores it unchanged. Float columns use PostgreSQL double precision, and migration passes the value as the new column default. PostgreSQL can reject this value as out of range.

Accept the full PostgreSQL Int range.
If a field declares @default(value: "-2147483648"), this check rejects it. PostgreSQL integer accepts that value. Check the lower and upper bounds separately. (postgresql.org)

Description
A project upgrade cannot add a non-nullable field to an entity that already has rows:
Migration.createColumnthrowsNon-nullable field creation is not supported. The only ways around it today are a nullable field that is never really null, or a reindex.This adds a
@default(value: String!)field directive. When a schema migration adds a non-nullable field that declares one, the column is created asOn Postgres 11+ a constant default is stored once in the catalog, so every existing row, including every historical (
_block_range) version, reads it without a table rewrite and without firing the notify triggers. Dropping the default afterwards leaves new rows to the mappings, so the column stays a plainNOT NULLcolumn.Scope is deliberately narrow:
@defaultis accepted only on non-nullable scalar (Int,BigInt,Float,Boolean,String) and enum fields. It is rejected onid, relations, lists, JSON fields, nullable fields, and values that do not parse for the type (Intis checked against the Postgresintegerrange).@defaultis still refused, as before.@default. The migration handles that case as drop + add, and filling it would silently replace the dropped data.@defaultdoes not change field equality, so adding it to an existing field triggers no migration.We hit this running a multi-chain, historical project: a release added required fields to existing entities, and the alternative was reindexing environments whose history cannot be rebuilt. We have run the patched packages through a full project upgrade (IPFS parent, migration at
parent.block) on a copy of that deployment.Type of change
