Hi, I'm running into a problem using npx prisma migrate diffnpx prisma migrate diff with my D1 database locally (because I have a qa and prod DB instance and the command can't deal with multiple DBs). Looks like someone else ran into the same problem a few months ago: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1266887370653962422

I was wondering if there were any suggested approaches here?

The product is just isn’t complete, tired of people bringing workarounds instead of just addressing the real issues while they’re very obvious issues

If you're using this for databases larger than 10gb, you very clearly have picked the wrong tool, and done so knowingly up-front.

@celestial, have you looked into the possibility of moving to Durable Objects? The limit there is actually only 1GB for now but it's going up to 10GB when it goes GA. However, you can create millions of them and not have to specify each instance in your workers.tomlworkers.toml file. That's the architecture I'm switching to.

Does d1 support transitions at all and if so how would I use them? I see some documentation for the procedures but it doesnt look like thats supported anymore and nothing I find seems to work. And just using normal sqlite transactions dont work.

Kinda. Not I. The db. It does JavaScript transactions, so because the code has to run in multiple places it's really difficult to have a tradition transaction. You can call things in a batch though,if you just want SQL.

I insert a user, grab the auto incremnet pk, and then update the same table with a snowflake I created using the auto incremenet pk.

Right now if the snowflake fails or something else fails then the user will be left with no snowflake and I want to be able to revert changes.

Im guessing this isnt possible with d1 yet?

cant u do that in the same query? since its the same table

Carson

C

Carson•9/30/24, 3:14 PM

no because the snowflake is created using a function,

user is inseted without snowflake, just the email, hash, firstname, lastname, returning pk
funciton to turn pk to snowflake
then I update the user with the snowflake where pk matches

this is the workflow

        const hash = utils.hashPassword(request.json.password);
        const account = await env.DB.prepare("INSERT INTO users (email, password, firstname, lastname) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) RETURNING pk;")
            .bind(request.json.email, hash, request.json.firstname, request.json.lastname)
            .run();

        if (!account.success) throw new Error();

        const snowflake = utils.createSnowflake(account.results[0].pk);

Since this is 2 remote calls, they are not connected, and cannot rollback. Is Snowflake just random IDs? If yes, can you create them ahead of time without the exact autoincrement and send them together in one query? Or use some other mechanism to generate your ID like UUID, ULID, Nanoid, etc.

Ah alright thats what I was afraid of. Snowflake is just random ids but they are calculated using the pk just so that there arent 2 of the same ids ever. But ill prob just switch over to uuid or something for simplicity sake

o7•9/30/24, 7:49 PM

u can make the snowflake a primary key, or unique, which means sqlite will deny creating another row of the same snowflake

Carson

C

Carson•9/30/24, 7:52 PM

I have it that way curently for my mysql database. My curent codebase uses transactions and the snowflake is unique. The reason I did this was because I didnt want it to fail in the first place. if I just use the auto increment id in my creation of the snowflake then I know that it will be random.

lambrospetrou

lambrospetrou•9/30/24, 7:55 PM

If you are going to use an autoincrement key to generate another primary key you already did the job of guaranteeing uniqueness in the first query, so why use a snowflake afterwards anyway. It's extra overhead really. Either generate it and send with the first query and retry in case a collision happens in a few years, or keep the autoincrement key.

Carson

C

Carson•9/30/24, 7:57 PM

because I want that seccond primary key to be a set length, if I just give each user the id of the auto increment, then users 1-9 will have a id length of 1, 10-99 would be 2, and so on

lambrospetrou

L

lambrospetrou•9/30/24, 7:59 PM

My suggestion is to then to add a PRIMARY KEY on the column of your ID, generate a random ID with UUIDv4 or Nanoid (or UUIDV7 if you need time-ordered IDs), and add a simple retry wrapper around your calls. The collisions will be extremely rare to worry about the 2nd roundtrip that you anyway do right now for all calls, and you get what you want.

Is there currently some workaround to have a db.batchdb.batch operation where a step requires the result of the previous one (the

id

of an inserted element)?

Or some similar workaround that would allow such a transaction?

            .bind(request.json.email, hash, request.json.firstname, request.json.lastname)
            .run();

        if (!account.success) throw new Error();

        const snowflake = utils.createSnowflake(account.results[0].pk);
        const set_id = await env.DB.prepare("UPDATE users SET id = ? WHERE pk = ?;")
            .bind(snowflake, account.results[0].pk)
            .run();
            
        if (!set_id.success) throw new Error();
