I would like to reformat all of our SQL to have a concise coding style.
This makes it far easier to understand the code for a casual contributor,
and lets us spot errors more easily.
Most importantly, it makes it much easier to grep (search) the code because it is more likely to be in the same syntax
Some key changes:
* SQL keywords are always UPPERCASE, e.g. `SELECT WHEN AS END ...`
* types, variables, aliases, and field names (identifiers) are always lower case
* `LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'` is now `LANGUAGE plpgsql` (no quotes)
* a few minor spacing/semicolon cleanups
P.S. Per @TomPohys request, `TABLE` is spelled using upper case despite being a type for consistency with PG Docs. Same for `LANGUAGE SQL` vs `LANGUAGE plpgsql`.
Replacing materialized view by a tables with update from trigger on change only.
Start with the most simple cases.
Just replicate the change on:
* `osm_water_polygon` to `osm_water_lakeline`,
* `osm_water_polygon` to `osm_water_point`.
Use a view to factorize the `osm_water_lakeline` and `osm_water_point_view` definition and reuse it in the trigger.
The update of `osm_important_waterway_linestring` is more complex, as it is a merge of `osm_waterway_linestring`. It not done in the same way. At the end of the transaction we remove impacted and recompute them.
The goal is to update more quickly the content of derivated table by just updating the changing content. It replaces the update of materialized view because their need a full recompute (with lock issue).
Note, an advanced version of differential update over materialized view as already implemented in the building cluster PR #725.
It addresses #814 and a part of #809.
Tag all SQL materialized views with a machine-readable comment
to indicate that this materialized view can be created without
data:
/* DELAY_MATERIALIZED_VIEW_CREATION */
In the next version of tools this comment can be optionally
replaced with the "WITH NO DATA" parameter, thus allowing
a much faster execution of the SQL script. All materialized
viewes will be populated with data in parallel afterwards
using the `refresh-views` tools script.
