chamikaJ 0bb748cf89 feat(database-migrations): implement grouping-specific sort orders and constraints
- Added new sort order columns for tasks based on different grouping types (status, priority, phase, member).
- Updated database functions to handle these new sort orders, ensuring proper task updates during sorting operations.
- Implemented a migration to fix existing sort order constraint violations, ensuring data consistency across projects.
- Enhanced functions to avoid sort order conflicts and maintain unique sort orders within each project.

All database DDLs, DMLs and migrations relates to the application should be stored here as well.

Worklenz Database

Directory Structure

  • sql/ - Contains all SQL files needed for database initialization
  • migrations/ - Contains database migration scripts
  • 00-init-db.sh - Initialization script that executes SQL files in the correct order

SQL File Execution Order

The database initialization files should be executed in the following order:

  1. sql/0_extensions.sql - PostgreSQL extensions
  2. sql/1_tables.sql - Table definitions and constraints
  3. sql/indexes.sql - All database indexes
  4. sql/4_functions.sql - Database functions
  5. sql/triggers.sql - Database triggers
  6. sql/3_views.sql - Database views
  7. sql/2_dml.sql - Data Manipulation Language statements (inserts, updates)
  8. sql/5_database_user.sql - Database user setup

Docker-based Setup

In the Docker environment, we use a shell script called 00-init-db.sh to control the SQL file execution order:

  1. The shell script creates a sql/ subdirectory if it doesn't exist
  2. It copies all .sql files into this subdirectory
  3. It executes the SQL files from the subdirectory in the correct order

This approach prevents the SQL files from being executed twice by Docker's automatic initialization mechanism, which would cause errors for objects that already exist.

Manual Setup

If you're setting up the database manually, please follow the execution order listed above. Ensure your SQL files are in the sql/ subdirectory before executing the script.
