Backfills for tables with text valued PKs always fail.
To reproduce:
- Create a table with PK of type
text
:
{
"name": "01_create_table",
"operations": [
{
"create_table": {
"name": "foo",
"columns": [
{
"name": "id",
"type": "text",
"pk": true
}
]
}
}
]
}
- Insert a row into the table
insert into foo(id) values (1)
- Try to add a column that requires a backfill:
{
"name": "02_add_text_column",
"operations": [
{
"add_column": {
"table": "foo",
"up": "id || '-description'",
"column": {
"name": "description",
"type": "text",
"nullable": false
}
}
}
]
}
The migration fails with:
ERROR Failed to start migration: failed to backfill column: pq: operator does not exist: text > integer
