Room Database Migration doesnt properly handle ALTER TABLE migration












18
















Java.lang.IllegalStateException



Migration didn't properly handle
user(therealandroid.github.com.roomcore.java.User).



Expected:



TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT',
notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, age=Column{name='age',
type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=0},
id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true,
primaryKeyPosition=1}}, foreignKeys=} Found:

type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1},
age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=false,
primaryKeyPosition=0}}, foreignKeys=}




I'm trying to perform a simple migration, I have a class called Userand it have two columns ID (primary key) and NAME TEXT and then I populate database with two users data, then I add the column AGE in the object User and in the Migration constant I add an alter table to add this new column and lastly I replace version of the database 1 to 2.



Here is the code



User.class



@Entity(tableName = "user")
public class User {

@PrimaryKey
private int id;

@ColumnInfo(name = "name")
private String name;

@ColumnInfo(name = "age")
private int age;


public int getId() {
return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public int getAge() {
return age;
}

public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
}


Database class



@Database(entities = {User.class}, version = 2)
public abstract class RoomDatabaseImpl extends RoomDatabase {
abstract UserDao userDao();
}


Migration code



public static Migration MIGRATION_1_2 = new Migration(1, 2) {
@Override
public void migrate(SupportSQLiteDatabase database) {
database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'age' INTEGER");
}
};


and it call



Room.databaseBuilder(context, RoomDatabaseImpl.class, "Sample.db")
.addMigrations(MIGRATION_1_2)
.allowMainThreadQueries()
.build();


Before change the object adding AGE and performing the migration I add two register and it works.



After performing the migration, I just tried to add a new User as bellow:



  User user = new User();
user.setName("JoooJ");
user.setId(3);
user.setAge(18);

List<User> userList = new ArrayList<>();
userList.add(user);
App.database(this).userDao().insertAll(userList); // The crash happens here


Other informations:



Android Studio 3 and I didn't tested in the actual.



Dependencies:



compile "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.0.0-alpha9-1"
annotationProcessor "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0-alpha9-1"

compile "android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2:1.0.0-alpha9-1"
gradle 2.3.3


Can someone help me please, I realy don't know what im doing wrong or if it is a bug.

    Room expects the column order to match the field order. It would appear that the results of the ALTER TABLE are resulting in a different order.

The error message is hard to parse, but there's a difference:




TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}}, foreignKeys=} Found:

Age is nullable but Room expected it to be not null.



Change your migration to:



database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'age' INTEGER NOT NULL");




Since this exception explanation is VERY difficult to parse, I have created a small script that does the diff for you.



Example:



mig "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Migration failed. expected:TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}}, foreignKeys=} , found:TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}}, foreignKeys=}"


Result:

    Works like a charm, thanks for helping. And now I understand, when you perform migrations, you must specify the DEFAULT value for the new column to be populated.

    I also found something interesting: if you created indices in your @Entity annotation in your model, you need to also do it in SQL in your migration script, for example CREATE INDEX index_History_nodeId` ON History (nodeId)` and if you don't you'll get a Migration didn't properly handle

I too wrote a small JS script which you can find https://hrankit.github.io/RoomSQLiteDifferenceFinder/



The process is pretty Simple.




  1. Input the Expected error log in Expected column which is the Left One.


  2. Input the Found error log in Found column which is the Right One.


  3. Press Go. button. The error logs get converted to JSON.


  4. Press Compare button and Voila, you have the difference you need.



This plugin finds out the difference in the two Expected and Found dump from the Android Studio Logcat.

None of the answers are correct in any of the links. After much experiments, found a way for it. The ALTER query needs to be written in the following way to make it work:



database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'age' INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0")


However, the Integer DEFAULT value can be anything.



If you want to add String type column, add in the following manner:



database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'address' TEXT")


This works like a charm.

I faced this issue today, I just changed int fields to Integer in Entities. As int cannot be null but Integer objects could be null.

    If you are getting notNull differences, you can simply mark your class field with @NonNull annotation, or change your sql with ALTER TABLE. But if you are getting column type differences, such as expected: TYPE=TEXT, then found TYPE='' (COLLATE NOCASE), or expected INTEGER, found INT, then the only solution is to drop and recreate your table. Sqlite does not allow changing column types.



    Use INTEGER in Sqlite instead of INT and mark your Java entity with @ColumnInfo(collate = NOCASE) (if you use NOCASE in Sqlite).



    Take a look at the json file under appschemas to get the sql for the expected queries.



    static final Migration MIGRATION_2_3= new Migration(2, 3) {
    @Override
    public void migrate(SupportSQLiteDatabase database) {

    database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_tmp");

    database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `table_tmp` ...");

    database.execSQL("insert into table_tmp (`id`, `name` , ...");

    database.execSQL("DROP INDEX IF EXISTS `index_table_name`");

    database.execSQL("CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS `index_table_name` ON `table_tmp` (`name`)");

    database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table");

    database.execSQL("alter table table_tmp rename to table");

    }

        Works like a charm, thanks for helping. And now I understand, when you perform migrations, you must specify the DEFAULT value for the new column to be populated.

        I also found something interesting: if you created indices in your @Entity annotation in your model, you need to also do it in SQL in your migration script, for example CREATE INDEX index_History_nodeId` ON History (nodeId)` and if you don't you'll get a Migration didn't properly handle

      The error message is hard to parse, but there's a difference:




      TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}}, foreignKeys=} Found:




      Found




      TableInfo{ name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}}, foreignKeys=}




      Age is nullable but Room expected it to be not null.



      Change your migration to:



      database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'age' INTEGER NOT NULL");




      Since this exception explanation is VERY difficult to parse, I have created a small script that does the diff for you.



      Example:



      mig "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Migration failed. expected:TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}}, foreignKeys=} , found:TableInfo{name='user', columns={name=Column{name='name', type='TEXT', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}, id=Column{name='id', type='INTEGER', notNull=true, primaryKeyPosition=1}, age=Column{name='age', type='INTEGER', notNull=false, primaryKeyPosition=0}}, foreignKeys=}"


      Result:

      I too wrote a small JS script which you can find https://hrankit.github.io/RoomSQLiteDifferenceFinder/



      The process is pretty Simple.




      1. Input the Expected error log in Expected column which is the Left One.


      2. Input the Found error log in Found column which is the Right One.


      3. Press Go. button. The error logs get converted to JSON.


      4. Press Compare button and Voila, you have the difference you need.



      This plugin finds out the difference in the two Expected and Found dump from the Android Studio Logcat.

      None of the answers are correct in any of the links. After much experiments, found a way for it. The ALTER query needs to be written in the following way to make it work:



      database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'age' INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0")


      However, the Integer DEFAULT value can be anything.



      If you want to add String type column, add in the following manner:



      database.execSQL("ALTER TABLE 'user' ADD COLUMN 'address' TEXT")


      This works like a charm.

              If you are getting notNull differences, you can simply mark your class field with @NonNull annotation, or change your sql with ALTER TABLE. But if you are getting column type differences, such as expected: TYPE=TEXT, then found TYPE='' (COLLATE NOCASE), or expected INTEGER, found INT, then the only solution is to drop and recreate your table. Sqlite does not allow changing column types.



              Use INTEGER in Sqlite instead of INT and mark your Java entity with @ColumnInfo(collate = NOCASE) (if you use NOCASE in Sqlite).



              Take a look at the json file under appschemas to get the sql for the expected queries.



              static final Migration MIGRATION_2_3= new Migration(2, 3) {
              @Override
              public void migrate(SupportSQLiteDatabase database) {

              database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_tmp");

              database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `table_tmp` ...");

              database.execSQL("insert into table_tmp (`id`, `name` , ...");

              database.execSQL("DROP INDEX IF EXISTS `index_table_name`");

              database.execSQL("CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS `index_table_name` ON `table_tmp` (`name`)");

              database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table");

              database.execSQL("alter table table_tmp rename to table");

But if you are getting column type differences, such as expected: TYPE=TEXT, then found TYPE='' (COLLATE NOCASE), or expected INTEGER, found INT, then the only solution is to drop and recreate your table. Sqlite does not allow changing column types.



                Use INTEGER in Sqlite instead of INT and mark your Java entity with @ColumnInfo(collate = NOCASE) (if you use NOCASE in Sqlite).



                Take a look at the json file under appschemas to get the sql for the expected queries.



                static final Migration MIGRATION_2_3= new Migration(2, 3) {
                @Override
                public void migrate(SupportSQLiteDatabase database) {

                database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_tmp");

                database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `table_tmp` ...");

                database.execSQL("insert into table_tmp (`id`, `name` , ...");

                database.execSQL("DROP INDEX IF EXISTS `index_table_name`");

                database.execSQL("CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS `index_table_name` ON `table_tmp` (`name`)");

                database.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table");

                database.execSQL("alter table table_tmp rename to table");

                }
                };
