Create a Ustore table.

Run the CREATE TABLE statement to create a Ustore table.

gaussdb=#CREATE TABLE ustore_table(a INT PRIMARY KEY, b CHAR (20)) WITH (STORAGE_TYPE=USTORE);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "ustore_table_pkey" for table "ustore_table"
CREATE TABLE
gaussdb=#\d+ ustore_table
Table "public.ustore_table"
Column |     Type      | Modifiers | Storage  | Stats target | Description
--------+---------------+-----------+----------+--------------+-------------
a      | integer       | not null  | plain    |              |
b      | character(20) |           | extended |              |
Indexes:
"ustore_table_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, ubtree (a) WITH (storage_type=USTORE) TABLESPACE pg_default
Has OIDs: no
Options: orientation=row, storage_type=ustore, compression=no, segment=off

Delete a Ustore table.

gaussdb=#DROP TABLE ustore_table;
 DROP TABLE

Create an index for a Ustore table.

Currently, Ustore supports only multi-version indexes of the B-tree type. In some scenarios, to distinguish from the B-tree indexes of Astore tables, the multi-version B-tree indexes of Ustore tables are also called UB-tree indexes. (For details about the UB-tree, see UB-Tree.) You can run the CREATE INDEX statement to create a UB-tree index for the "a" attribute of a Ustore table.

If no index type is specified for a Ustore table, a UB-tree index is created by default.

UB-tree indexes are classified into RCR UB-tree and PCR UB-tree. By default, an RCR UB-tree is created. If WITH option index_txntype is set to pcr or GUC parameter index_txntype is set to pcr during index creation, a PCR UB-tree is created.

gaussdb=# CREATE TABLE test(a int);
CREATE TABLE
gaussdb=#CREATE INDEX UB_tree_index ON test(a);
CREATE INDEX
gaussdb=#\d+ test 
Table "public.test"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
 a      | integer |           | plain   |              |
Indexes:
    "ub_tree_index" ubtree (a) WITH (storage_type=USTORE) TABLESPACE pg_default
Has OIDs: no
Options: orientation=row, compression=no, storage_type=USTORE, segment=off

-- Delete a Ustore table index.
