2. Detailed Technical Analysis
2.1 Code Logic Deep-Dive
Core Logic Changes
- flowdb/bin/build/0020_schema_events.sql -
eventstables- Submitted PR Code:
ALTER TABLE events.calls
ALTER COLUMN msisdn TYPE TEXT COLLATE "C";
ALTER TABLE events.calls
ALTER COLUMN msisdn_counterpart TYPE TEXT COLLATE "C";
ALTER TABLE events.calls
ALTER COLUMN imsi TYPE TEXT COLLATE "C";
ALTER TABLE events.calls
ALTER COLUMN imei TYPE TEXT COLLATE "C";- Analysis:
- Current logic and potential issues: The PR correctly identifies that hash strings should use
"C"collation for efficient comparisons and sorting. However, it only alters the columns in thecallstable. The same change needs to be applied to the othereventstables (sms,mds,topups, andlocation_ids) to maintain consistency and ensure efficient comparisons across the entire events schema. - Edge cases and error handling: The current change does not account for any edge cases or error handling. For instance, it does not check if the columns already have the
"C"collation or handle any potential errors during the ALTER TABLE operation. - **Cross-component impact **: This change will affect any part of the system that interacts with the
eventstables, including data processing pipelines, analytics tools, and other services that query or manipulate this data. - **Business logic considerations **: This change should not have any direct impact on business logic, as it only affects the internal data management of the system.
- Current logic and potential issues: The PR correctly identifies that hash strings should use
- LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:
-- Check if the column already has the "C" collation before altering
DO $$
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'calls' AND column_name = 'msisdn' AND collation_name = 'C') THEN
ALTER TABLE events.calls

END IF;
-- Repeat the above logic for other columns and tables
-- ...
-- Handle any potential errors during ALTER TABLE operation
EXCEPTION WHEN others THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'Error occurred while altering table: %', SQLERRM;
END $$;-
Improvement rationale:
- Technical benefits: The suggested improvements ensure that the change is applied consistently across all relevant tables and handles potential errors, making the process more robust and reliable.
- Business value: This change ensures that the system maintains data consistency and efficiency across all
eventstables, which is crucial for accurate analytics and smooth operation. - Risk assessment: The suggested improvements reduce the risk of introducing unexpected issues or breaking existing functionality by handling edge cases and potential errors.

55-56: LGTM: Consistent collation changes across tablesThe addition of
COLLATE "C"to all msisdn/imei/imsi TEXT columns is appropriate for hash string storage and comparison.Also applies to: 60-61, 78-79, 83-84, 100-101, 104-105, 124-124, 127-128, 149-149, 152-153
Line range hint
55-153: Verify index performance impactThe collation changes might affect index performance on these columns. Please ensure that:
- Existing indexes on these columns are rebuilt
- Query performance is validated with the new collation
✅ Verification successful
Collation choice will not impact index performance
The "C" collation is PostgreSQL's default binary collation and is optimal for index performance. Since the collation is set during table creation and indexes are created per partition during data ingestion, no index rebuilding is required.

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash # Search for existing indexes on affected columns rg -i "CREATE\s+INDEX.*(?:msisdn|imei|imsi)" --type sql # Look for performance-related comments or issues rg -i "(?:performance|slow|index).*(?:msisdn|imei|imsi)" --type mdLength of output: 4322

79-80: LGTM: Consistent collation in interaction tablesThe collation changes in calls and sms tables align with the changes in the events schema.
Also applies to: 91-92
39-41: Verify UNIQUE constraint compatibilityThe collation change affects columns in a UNIQUE constraint. Please ensure that:
- The constraint remains valid with the new collation
- No duplicate records exist that might violate the constraint after the change
✅ Verification successful
UNIQUE constraint compatibility verified
The collation change is compatible with the UNIQUE constraint on (msisdn, imei, imsi, tac) as all columns consistently use COLLATE "C". This change actually improves the constraint's reliability by ensuring consistent string comparisons.

flowetl/mounts/dags/extract.sql (1)
2-3: Consider documenting the collation requirementSince this is a significant change affecting multiple tables, consider adding a comment in the SQL file explaining why these columns require the "C" collation. This will help future maintainers understand the reasoning behind this specific collation choice for hash strings.
Add a comment like this at the top of the file:
+-- Hash string columns (msisdn, msisdn_counterpart, imsi, imei) use "C" collation +-- to ensure consistent byte-value ordering across all tables SELECT uuid_generate_v4()::TEXT as id, TRUE as outgoing, event_time::TIMESTAMPTZ as datetime,

2-2: The collation changes look good!The addition of
COLLATE "C"for the hash string columns (msisdn,msisdn_counterpart,imsi,imei) ensures consistent byte-value ordering, which is appropriate for these data types.Please verify that related indexes have been updated. Run this script to check for affected indexes:

No index updates required for this collation change
The
COLLATE "C"addition in the transformation query doesn't affect the source table indexes, as it's applied during the data extraction process rather than modifying the underlying table structure.🏁 Scripts executed
