db audit 2026-08-24: baseline — 419 GB dead TOAST, retention job at 24% of designed rate - #6819
saddlepaddle wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Report-only weekly audit of the production Postgres schema. First run, so this establishes the baseline: no previous report exists on main. Headline findings, all read-only evidence: - 419 GB of dead TOAST on ingest.webhook_events left by 0090's bare DROP COLUMN payload — 68% of the 617 GB database. Live toastable data in that relation measures ~42 MB. - enforce-retention drains ~3.4M rows/day, not the ~14M its comment claims: TIME_BUDGET_MS binds at ~2.35 batches/run, never MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE. 65.4M-row backlog clears ~2026-10-01 if intake stays flat, never if it reaches ~3.4M/day. - automation_events has no row retention and a ~2026-09-14 deadline that depends on an out-of-repo us-east-1 restore. No fix is implied by any of this.

unchanged.
- Around line 537-569: Make the redundant-index evidence internally consistent:
update the SQL to retrieve and join each index’s idx_scan value from the
relevant statistics view, ensure the result table includes the corresponding

by adding the missing entry or correcting the count and table. Preserve the
existing redundancy criteria and ordering.
- Around line 118-123: Update the est_total_error_bytes calculation to use
octet_length(coalesce(error, '')) instead of length(coalesce(error, '')),
preserving the existing sampling, aggregation, and size-estimation logic.
- Around line 620-628: The CHECK-constraint query and the integer-PK query in
§11 have narrower scope than the report claims. Update both queries to include
all intended user schemas, including diag, and include partitioned tables by
removing or broadening the c.relkind='r' restriction; alternatively revise the
findings and summary to explicitly state the narrower scope.
- Around line 326-328: Correct the automation_events backlog evidence to
distinguish the planner estimate from an actual row count: state that EXPLAIN’s
rows=653 is only an estimate and that, as of August 24, 2026, a July 25 cutoff
with August 16 as the oldest complete row means the current backlog is zero.
Keep the future September 14 retention deadline separate.
- Around line 218-220: Update the batch-duration statement in the audit findings
to avoid inferring killed invocations from pg_stat_statements.max_exec_time;
state only that the duration may exceed the deployment timeout unless deployment
timeout and cancellation or retry evidence is available.
- Around line 355-363: Update the foreign-key support query’s NOT EXISTS
subquery to exclude partial indexes by requiring i.indpred IS NULL and invalid
indexes by requiring i.indisvalid, while preserving the existing key-column
matching logic and reported count.
- Around line 237-243: Correct the capacity analysis around
recordWebhookDelivery by not treating pg_stat_statements.calls as inserted-row
count, since conflict updates also increment calls while adding no rows. Use a
metric that counts only newly inserted deliveries, or relabel 3,017,717 as
delivery calls and recompute the intake, net-drain, and backlog estimates
accordingly.

Describe this as documented-domain drift, not a schema violation.
task_statuses.type is text().notNull(), and packages/db/drizzle/0008_add_full_task_status_table.sql adds no CHECK constraint or enum. The database accepts duplicate and triage; only the inline comment documents five values. Rename the finding to avoid overstating database enforcement.

PostgreSQL documentation length(text) characters octet_length(text) bytes
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, the length and octet_length functions serve distinct purposes regarding string measurement [1]. The length(string) function returns the number of characters in a string [2][3][4]. The octet_length(string) function returns the number of bytes in a string [4][5]. For example, when using a multibyte encoding like UTF-8, a character may consist of multiple bytes [1][4]. While length counts each character as one regardless of its byte size, octet_length counts the actual total number of bytes [1][4]. If a server encoding is UTF-8, octet_length('josé') would return 5 (because the character 'é' occupies more than one byte), whereas length('josé') would return 4 [4].

Do not equate pg_stat_statements.calls with inserted rows.
recordWebhookDelivery uses one VALUES tuple, but ON CONFLICT (provider, event_id) DO UPDATE counts redeliveries without adding rows. Its final SELECT returns one row for both inserts and conflict updates, so pg_stat_statements.rows cannot identify new rows. Use a metric that counts only new inserts, or label 3,017,717 as delivery calls and recompute the intake, net-drain, and backlog estimates.

Correct the automation_events backlog evidence.
EXPLAIN ... rows=653 is a planner estimate, not an actual count. On August 24, 2026, the 30-day horizon is July 25, 2026. If August 16 is the oldest complete row, the current backlog is zero. Distinguish this from the future September 14 retention deadline.

🌐 Web query:
PostgreSQL foreign key trigger partial index referencing table indpred RI trigger query partial index invalid index
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, partial indexes are incompatible with foreign key (FK) constraints for two primary reasons related to how the database enforces referential integrity (RI) [1][2][3]. First, a foreign key constraint requires that the referenced columns form a primary key or a unique constraint [1][2]. Because a partial unique index (an index with a WHERE clause) is not considered a complete unique constraint—it only guarantees uniqueness for a subset of the data—it cannot be used as the target of a foreign key reference [1][2]. The database requires a full, unconditional index to guarantee that every row in the referencing table has a valid, non-orphaned counterpart in the referenced table [1][2]. Second, regarding performance, PostgreSQL’s internal RI triggers (e.g., RI_FKey_cascade_del, RI_FKey_check_ins) are designed to perform lookups across the entire scope of the referenced table [4]. These triggers cannot utilize partial indexes for their operations because those indexes do not cover the entire set of records the trigger must validate [5]. Consequently, even if you create a partial index on the referencing table to optimize queries, the internal RI triggers will typically ignore it and perform a sequential scan if no full, covering index is present [6][5]. If you need to enforce conditional referential integrity (e.g., "only enforce this FK when the row is not soft-deleted"), you must implement this logic manually using custom triggers [7]. These triggers can perform the necessary checks (e.g., IF NOT EXISTS... WHERE... IS NULL) using your partial index to maintain efficiency, as they bypass the standard system-enforced RI mechanism [7]. Top results: [1][2][7][5]

site:postgresql.org/docs current pg_index indisvalid indpred partial index planner foreign key referencing columns
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, the catalog column pg_index.indisvalid indicates whether an index is currently valid and safe for use by the query planner [1][2]. If indisvalid is false, the index is considered potentially incomplete; while it may still be maintained by INSERT or UPDATE operations, the planner will ignore it for query execution [1][3][4]. Regarding partial indexes and foreign keys, the following rules apply: 1. Foreign Key Requirements: PostgreSQL foreign key constraints must reference columns that are part of a non-deferrable unique or primary key constraint, or columns of a non-partial unique index [5]. Consequently, a partial index cannot be used to support a foreign key constraint [5]. 2. Planner Usage: For standard queries, the planner can use a partial index only if it can mathematically prove that the query's WHERE clause implies the index's predicate [6][7]. Because the predicate is defined in the indpred column of pg_index [1][2], the planner evaluates this at plan time to determine index applicability [6][7]. 3. Index Maintenance and Validity: During operations like CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY or REINDEX, an index may be marked as invalid (indisvalid = false) [8][4]. It is not safe for the planner to use such an index until it is marked valid, as it may not contain all required data [1][3]. In summary, indisvalid is a critical flag for query planning, and while partial indexes are powerful for specific query optimization, they are strictly prohibited from supporting foreign key constraints, which require full, non-partial uniqueness [6][5].

site:github.com/postgres/postgres RI_FKey_cascade_del index partial indpred pg_index indisvalid
💡 Result:
The terms you mentioned relate to the internal mechanism PostgreSQL uses to manage Referential Integrity (RI) constraints and index usage in the query planner. 1. RI_FKey_cascade_del: This is an internal PostgreSQL trigger function, defined in the source code (ri_triggers.c), used to enforce cascading deletes when a primary key is deleted from a referenced table [1]. It executes the necessary DELETE statements on the referencing (foreign key) table [1]. 2. pg_index: This is the system catalog table that stores information about indexes [2]. Each row represents an index on a table [2]. 3. indisvalid: A boolean column in pg_index [2]. When true, it indicates that the index is valid and can be used by the query planner for scan optimizations [2][3]. If false, the index might still be maintained (updated during inserts/updates) if it is also marked as ready, but the planner will ignore it for queries [3]. 4. indpred: A column in pg_index that stores the expression tree for a partial index predicate (if the index is partial) [2]. If the index is not partial, this column is NULL [2]. 5. Partial Index Interaction: The query planner uses the indpred information to determine if an index is applicable to a specific query [4][3]. If an index is partial, the planner checks if the query's WHERE clauses imply the index's predicate [4]. If the index is also marked indisvalid=true, it is considered for use in the execution plan [3]. In summary, when the PostgreSQL engine processes a query, it consults pg_index to find available indexes [3]. For any index, it checks indisvalid to see if it is safe to use [3] and inspects indpred if it is a partial index to see if it matches the current query context [4]. Meanwhile, functions like RI_FKey_cascade_del handle the logic for maintaining foreign key constraints, which relies on the underlying table structure but is distinct from the index selection logic used by the planner [1].

Two corrections after the report was first drafted. §2: the report said the job averages 2.35 batches per run, derived from assuming the 5-minute cadence its own code comment claims. That was circular. The loop checks the deadline before each batch, so with a 35s mean batch against a 20s budget every invocation runs exactly one batch and deletes exactly 5,000 rows — an invariant, not an average. 1226 invocations over 43.5h therefore implies a ~2.1 minute cadence, not 5. Same conclusion, firmer derivation. Also records that the route sets no maxDuration, and why the batches still complete despite that. §3: the mitigation the retention job defers to was checked in Linear and came back negative. SUPER-191 "Migrate Neon database from US West to US East" is Canceled, last updated 2026-05-07, with no successor and no tracking issue for either index build. The comment at enforce-retention/route.ts:39-47 is waiting on work cancelled three months before it was written, so automation_events has no mitigation before its ~2026-09-14 deadline. Header now records that §2 was fixed in #6842 and the §5 index drop was deliberately deferred, so next week's diff reads cleanly.

Limit the MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE claim to this audit window.
MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE was not binding with the audited TIME_BUDGET_MS=20,000 configuration. It can become binding after the recorded PR #6842 change to 240,000 ms. Replace “never can be” with “was not binding during this audit.” This keeps Line 785 consistent.

Closing — the audit doesn't need to land as a PR. Findings are recorded and were relayed directly; the branch Two things from it that outlive this PR:
|
TIME_BUDGET_MS was 20s. A batch measures 35s mean against production (1226 batches via pg_stat_statements, 582s worst), so the deadline check after batch one always failed and a run deleted 5k rows rather than the 50k MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE implies. MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE has never once been the binding constraint — every recorded batch returned exactly BATCH_SIZE, so the loop never ran out of work either. Net effect was ~3.4M rows/day of drain against ~1.7M/day of intake, not the ~14M/day the comment claimed, leaving a 65M-row over-retention backlog on ingest.webhook_events draining on a ~38 day horizon and going break-even if intake grows. Also sets maxDuration. This was the only job route under apps/api without one, so it took the platform default — shorter than a single batch now costs, meaning runs were killed mid-loop rather than ending on their own budget. 300 matches the other long-running job routes. Batches are slow because each is ORDER BY received_at LIMIT 5000 off the left edge of webhook_events_received_at_idx and every prior delete leaves dead index entries in that prefix for the next batch to walk. That is not addressed here; this only stops the budget from capping the loop at one batch. Found by the 2026-08-24 schema audit (#6819). No schema change.
Report only. This PR adds
db-audit-findings.mdand touches nothing else. Nothing was changed in the database: every statement was aSELECTor a plainEXPLAIN, run withstatement_timeout='60s'anddefault_transaction_read_only=on.Whether to act on a finding is a human call made after reading. Two were made and are recorded in the report so next week's diff isn't confusing: §2 was fixed in #6842 (no schema change), and the §5 index drop was deliberately deferred because
DROP INDEXneedsACCESS EXCLUSIVEand would queue behind a retention batch, stalling webhook inserts. Everything else stands as found.This run establishes the baseline
db-audit-findings.mddoes not exist onmainand has no git history, so there is no "Changes since last report" section and no week-over-week comparison. Every number is a first observation. Next week's run can diff against it, provided the stats window has not reset in between.Stats window: 31 days 5 h (postmaster and
pg_stat_statementsboth reset 2026-07-24 11:00 UTC). Longer than the ~10-day floor, soidx_scan = 0findings are reported at full confidence — read them as "unused for 31 days", never "unused ever".What's urgent
1. 419 GB of dead TOAST on
ingest.webhook_events— 68% of the 617 GB database. Migration0090is a bareALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN "payload", which is catalog-only and reclaims nothing. The dropped column is still inpg_attributeas........pg.dropped.5......... Sampling the one remaining toastable column (error) puts live toastable data in that relation at ~42 MB against a 419 GB TOAST heap.2.
enforce-retentionruns at ~24% of its designed rate. The job (landedcb6df622f, 43.5 h before this audit) works, but its own comment claims "~14M rows/day, comfortably ahead of the ~1.2M/day these tables take on". Measured frompg_stat_statements: a 5,000-row batch averages 35 s against aTIME_BUDGET_MSof 20,000. The deadline is checked before each batch, so every invocation runs exactly one batch and deletes exactly 5,000 rows — an invariant, not an average — andMAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE(50,000) can never be reached. The route also sets nomaxDuration, the only job route underapps/apithat doesn't. Real capacity is 3.38M rows/day, intake is 1.66M/day, net drain 1.72M/day. The 65.4M-row backlog (62% of the table, plainEXPLAINestimate) clears in ~38 days — around 2026-10-01 — but only if intake stays flat. It isn't: a like-for-like hour went 35,162 rows on 08-23 to 110,060 on 08-24. At sustained ~3.4M/day intake, net drain reaches zero and the backlog never clears. Worst observed batch: 582 s, past any normal serverless timeout.These two are the same problem: the TOAST frees itself as the backlog drains, which is why #1 is not a separate task.
3.
automation_eventshas no row retention, a ~2026-09-14 deadline, and its mitigation is cancelled. 54 GB at nine days old, growing ~600k–1.3M rows/day. It's deliberately excluded from the retention job, whose comment defers to a us-east-1 restore that would "rebuild both tables before then with those indexes created on the way in, for free".That restore isn't in the repo, so I checked Linear.
SUPER-191"Migrate Neon database from US West to US East" isCanceled, last updated 2026-05-07 — three and a half months before that comment was written. It's the only matching issue including archived ones, there's no successor under another name, and there's no tracking issue for theautomation_eventsretention or either index build. The free rebuild is not coming.I verified the two enabling indexes really are absent:
automation_eventshas no plainreceived_atindex (both existing ones are partial and exclude exactly the rows retention needs, since payload is already NULL by then), andautomation_runs_event_dedup_idxhasevent_idas its second column, so it can't serve the FK'sON DELETE SET NULL.
