普通表索引
分区表索引

数据库索引可以提高数据的访问速度，openGauss支持唯一索引、多字段索引、部分索引和表达式索引。

行存表（ASTORE存储引擎）支持的索引类型：btree（行存表缺省值）、hash、gin、gist。行存表（USTORE存储引擎）支持的索引类型：ubtree。
列存表支持的索引类型：Psort（列存表缺省值）、btree、gin。
全局临时表不支持GIN索引和Gist索引。

如上一篇分析数据库表的创建过程，standard_ProcessUtility函数会根据nodeTag(parsetree)的值来确定sql的操作类型，create table一般都是进入T_CreateStmt分支调用CreateCommand函数。create index则进入T_IndexStmt分支调用DefineIndex函数。在调用DefineIndex前会首先执行函数transformIndexStmt，如果语句没有指定索引类型则会使用缺省值。

  if (stmt->accessMethod == NULL) {
        if (!isColStore) {
            /* row store using btree index by default */
            if (!RelationIsUstoreFormat(rel)) {
                stmt->accessMethod = DEFAULT_INDEX_TYPE; //  行存表ASTORE存储引擎缺省值btree
            } else {
                stmt->accessMethod = DEFAULT_USTORE_INDEX_TYPE; // 行存表USTORE存储引擎缺省值ubtree
            }
……
            } else {
                /* column store using psort index by default */
                stmt->accessMethod = DEFAULT_CSTORE_INDEX_TYPE; // 列存表缺省值psort
            }
        }

#define DEFAULT_INDEX_TYPE  "btree"
#define DEFAULT_HASH_INDEX_TYPE "hash"
#define DEFAULT_CSTORE_INDEX_TYPE "psort"
#define DEFAULT_GIST_INDEX_TYPE  "gist"
#define CSTORE_BTREE_INDEX_TYPE "cbtree"
#define DEFAULT_GIN_INDEX_TYPE "gin"
#define CSTORE_GINBTREE_INDEX_TYPE "cgin"
#define DEFAULT_USTORE_INDEX_TYPE "ubtree"

普通表索引

DefineInde

DefineIndex为创建索引主入口函数。通常创建索引以Share锁锁定表，允许并发查询，但禁上对表进行修改。如果创建索引时指定关键字CONCURRENTLY以不阻塞DML的方式创建索引，即允许读取和更新表，以ShareUpdateExclusiveLock锁锁定表。

在这里插入图片描述

    lockmode = concurrent ? ShareUpdateExclusiveLock : ShareLock;
    rel = heap_open(relationId, lockmode);

如果没有指定索引名，ChooseIndexName根据规则生成索引名：

    /*
     * Select name for index if caller didn't specify.
     */
    indexRelationName = stmt->idxname;
    if (indexRelationName == NULL) {
        indexRelationName = ChooseIndexName(RelationGetRelationName(rel),
            namespaceId,
            indexColNames,
            stmt->excludeOpNames,
            stmt->primary,
            stmt->isconstraint);

为index_create函数构造参数IndexInfo结构体：

/*
 * Prepare arguments for index_create, primarily an IndexInfo structure.
 * Note that ii_Predicate must be in implicit-AND format.
 */
indexInfo = makeNode(IndexInfo);

Index_create函数创建索引：
/*
* Make the catalog entries for the index, including constraints. Then, if
* not skip_build || concurrent, actually build the index.
*/
indexRelationId = index_create(rel,
……
关闭表并返回索引表id：

    heap_close(rel, NoLock);
    return indexRelationId;

Index_create函数

打开系统表pg_class：

heap_create创建relcache和索引物理文件：

    /*
     * create the index relation's relcache entry and physical disk file. (If
     * we fail further down, it's the smgr's responsibility to remove the disk
     * file again.)
     */
    StorageType storage_type = RelationGetStorageType(heapRelation);
    indexRelation = heap_create(indexRelationName, namespaceId, tableSpaceId, indexRelationId, relFileNode,
        RELATION_CREATE_BUCKET(heapRelation) ? heapRelation->rd_bucketoid : InvalidOid, indexTupDesc, relKind,
        relpersistence, isLocalPart, false, shared_relation, mapped_relation, allow_system_table_mods,
        REL_CMPRS_NOT_SUPPORT, (Datum)reloptions, heapRelation->rd_rel->relowner, skip_create_storage,
        isUstore ? TAM_USTORE : TAM_HEAP, /* XXX: Index tables are by default HEAP Table Type */
        relindexsplit, storage_type, extra->crossBucket, accessMethodObjectId);

将索引表元信息存入系统表pg_class：

   /*
     * store index's pg_class entry
     */
    InsertPgClassTuple(
        pg_class, indexRelation, RelationGetRelid(indexRelation), (Datum)0, reloptions, relKind, NULL);
 
    /* done with pg_class */
    heap_close(pg_class, RowExclusiveLock);

将索引表元信息存入系统表pg_index：

     UpdateIndexRelation(indexRelationId,
        heapRelationId,
        indexInfo,
……

Index_build建立索引：

    } else if (extra && (!extra->isPartitionedIndex || extra->isGlobalPartitionedIndex)) {
        /* support regular index or GLOBAL partition index */
        index_build(heapRelation, NULL, indexRelation, NULL, indexInfo, isprimary, false, PARTITION_TYPE(extra));
    }

index_build

index_build调用index_build_storage，如果创建的是btree索引最终调用btbuild，如果是hash索引最终调用hashbuild，如果是psort则最终调用psortbuild，更多索引访问方法的信息可查看系统表pg_am。

      
static IndexBuildResult* index_build_storage(Relation heapRelation, Relation indexRelation, IndexInfo* indexInfo)
{
    RegProcedure procedure = indexRelation->rd_am->ambuild;
    Assert(RegProcedureIsValid(procedure));
 
    IndexBuildResult* stats = (IndexBuildResult*)DatumGetPointer(OidFunctionCall3(
        procedure, PointerGetDatum(heapRelation), PointerGetDatum(indexRelation), PointerGetDatum(indexInfo)));
    Assert(PointerIsValid(stats));
    if (RELPERSISTENCE_UNLOGGED == heapRelation->rd_rel->relpersistence) {
        index_build_init_fork(heapRelation, indexRelation);
    }
    return stats;
}
btree索引的procedure为btbuild。
