WMCore Database Schema - Database schema definitions for WMCore components

WMCore Database Schema

Database schema definitions for WMCore components, including both MariaDB and Oracle backends.

WMBS (Workload Management Bookkeeping Service) provides the database schema for managing workloads and jobs.

Python Package

This repository is also available as a Python package on PyPI:

pip install wmcoredb

Usage

This is a data-only package that provides SQL schema files. After installation, the SQL files are available in the package data directory.

To access the SQL files programmatically:

import pkg_resources

# List all SQL files in the package
sql_files = pkg_resources.resource_listdir('wmcoredb', 'sql')

# Get the path to a specific SQL file
file_path = pkg_resources.resource_filename('wmcoredb', 'sql/mariadb/wmbs/create_wmbs_tables.sql')

# Read the SQL content
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
    sql_content = f.read()

Development

For local development and testing:

# Build the package
python -m build

# Install locally for testing
pip install dist/wmcoredb-*.whl

CI/CD Pipeline

The continuous integration pipeline is split into three workflows:

SQL Linting

Validates SQL syntax and formatting using SQLFluff:

• MariaDB files using default SQLFluff rules
• Oracle files using custom rules defined in .sqlfluff.oracle
• Enforces consistent SQL style and formatting
• Runs on every push and pull request

MariaDB Schema Validation

Automatically tests schema deployment in MariaDB:

• Runs only after successful linting
• Tests against multiple MariaDB versions:
  • 10.6 (LTS)
  • 10.11 (LTS)
  • 11.4 (Latest)
• Deploys and validates:
  • TestDB Schema
  • WMBS Schema
  • Agent Schema
  • DBS3Buffer Schema
  • BossAir Schema
  • ResourceControl Schema
• Verifies table structures and relationships
• Checks for any critical database errors

Oracle Schema Validation

Tests schema deployment in Oracle:

• Runs only after successful linting
• Uses Oracle XE 18.4.0-slim container
• Deploys and validates the same schemas as the MariaDB workflow:
  • TestDB Schema
  • WMBS Schema (tables, indexes, and initial data)
  • Tier0 Schema (tables, indexes, functions, and initial data)
  • Agent Schema
  • DBS3Buffer Schema
  • BossAir Schema
  • ResourceControl Schema
• Comprehensive verification steps:
  • Table structure validation
  • Index creation and type verification
  • Foreign key relationship checks
  • Initial data population verification
  • Cross-database compatibility with MariaDB
• Includes proper error handling and cleanup procedures
• Uses SQL*Plus for schema deployment and verification

Schema Components

The WMAgent database schema consists of several components:

1. WMBS (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/wmbs/)

   • Core workload and job management
   • Tables for jobs, subscriptions, and file tracking
   • Initial data for job states and subscription types

2. Agent Database (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/agent/)

   • Core agent functionality
   • Component and worker management

3. BossAir (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/bossair/)

   • Job submission and tracking
   • Grid and batch system integration

4. DBS3Buffer (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/dbs3buffer/)

   • Dataset and file management
   • Checksum and location tracking

5. ResourceControl (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/resourcecontrol/)

   • Site and resource management
   • Threshold control

6. Test Database (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/testdb/)

   • Simple test tables for database validation
   • Used for testing database connectivity and basic operations
   • Includes tables with different data types and constraints
   • Available for both Oracle and MariaDB backends

7. Tier0 Schema (src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/tier0/)

   • Run management and tracking
   • Stream and dataset associations
   • Lumi section processing
   • Configuration management
   • Workflow monitoring

WMBS Schema Initialization

The WMBS schema is initialized first and consists of three files:

src/sql/{oracle,mariadb}/wmbs/
├── create_wmbs_tables.sql   # Core WMBS tables
├── create_wmbs_indexes.sql  # Indexes for performance
└── initial_wmbs_data.sql    # Initial data for job states

These files are executed in order by execute_wmbs_sql.py to set up the base WMBS schema before other components are initialized.

Database Backend Support

The schema supports two database backends:

• Oracle (src/sql/oracle/)

  • Uses NUMBER(11) for integers
  • Uses VARCHAR2 for strings
  • Uses GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY for auto-increment
  • Includes sequences and functions where needed
  • Uses slash (/) as statement terminator for DDL statements (CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX)
  • Uses both semicolon (;) and slash (/) for PL/SQL blocks (functions, procedures, packages)
    • Semicolon terminates the PL/SQL block
    • Slash executes the block

• MariaDB (src/sql/mariadb/)

  • Uses INT for integers
  • Uses VARCHAR for strings
  • Uses AUTO_INCREMENT for auto-increment
  • Uses ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
  • Includes equivalent functionality without sequences

Database Compatibility

The SQL files are designed to be compatible with:

MariaDB

• 10.6 (LTS)
• 10.11 (LTS)
• 11.4 (Latest)

Oracle

• Oracle XE 18.4.0-slim container
• Oracle 19c

The CI pipeline automatically tests schema deployment against these versions to ensure compatibility.

Contributing

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for details on our code of conduct and the process for submitting pull requests.

Usage

To create the database schema:

1. For Oracle:

@src/sql/oracle/testdb/create_testdb.sql
@src/sql/oracle/tier0/create_tier0_tables.sql
@src/sql/oracle/tier0/create_tier0_indexes.sql
@src/sql/oracle/tier0/create_tier0_functions.sql
@src/sql/oracle/tier0/initial_tier0_data.sql
@src/sql/oracle/wmbs/create_wmbs_tables.sql
@src/sql/oracle/wmbs/create_wmbs_indexes.sql
@src/sql/oracle/wmbs/initial_wmbs_data.sql

2. For MariaDB:

source src/sql/mariadb/testdb/create_testdb.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/tier0/create_tier0_tables.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/tier0/create_tier0_indexes.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/tier0/create_tier0_functions.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/tier0/initial_tier0_data.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/wmbs/create_wmbs_tables.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/wmbs/create_wmbs_indexes.sql
source src/sql/mariadb/wmbs/initial_wmbs_data.sql

Schema Generation

The SQL schema files are generated from Python code in src/python/db/ (not included in the package). Each component has its own schema generation code:

from WMCore.Database.DBCreator import DBCreator

class Create(DBCreator):
    def __init__(self, logger=None, dbi=None, params=None):
        # Schema definition in Python

The schema files can be executed using execute_wmbs_sql.py, which handles:

• Database backend detection
• Schema file location
• Transaction management
• Error handling

Note: The schema generation code in src/python/db/ is for reference only and is not included in the PyPI package. The package only contains the final SQL files in src/sql/.

WMAgent DB Initialization

It starts in the CMSKubernetes init.sh script, which executes init_agent() method from the CMSKubernetes manage script.

The database optios are enriched dependent on the database flavor, such as:

    case $AGENT_FLAVOR in
        'mysql')
            _exec_mysql "create database if not exists $wmaDBName"
            local database_options="--mysql_url=mysql://$MDB_USER:$MDB_PASS@$MDB_HOST/$wmaDBName "
        'oracle')
            local database_options="--coredb_url=oracle://$ORACLE_USER:$ORACLE_PASS@$ORACLE_TNS "

It then executes WMCore code, calling a script called wmagent-mod-config.

with command line arguments like:

    wmagent-mod-config $database_options \
                       --input=$WMA_CONFIG_DIR/config-template.py \
                       --output=$WMA_CONFIG_DIR/config.py \

which internally parses the command line arguments into parameters and modifies the standard WMAgentConfig.py, saving it out as the new WMAgent configuration file, with something like:

    cfg = modifyConfiguration(cfg, **parameters)
    saveConfiguration(cfg, outputFile)

With the WMAgent configuration file properly updated, named config.py, now the manage script calls wmcore-db-init, with arguments like:

wmcore-db-init --config $WMA_CONFIG_DIR/config.py --create --modules=WMCore.WMBS,WMCore.Agent.Database,WMComponent.DBS3Buffer,WMCore.BossAir,WMCore.ResourceControl;

This wmcore-db-init script itself calls the WMInit.py script, executing basically the next four commands:

wmInit = WMInit()
wmInit.setLogging('wmcoreD', 'wmcoreD', logExists = False, logLevel = logging.DEBUG)
wmInit.setDatabaseConnection(dbConfig=config.CoreDatabase.connectUrl, dialect=dialect, socketLoc = socket)
wmInit.setSchema(modules, params = params)

In summary, the WMAgent database schema is an aggregation of the schema defined under each of the following WMAgent python directories:

WMCore.WMBS             --> originally under src/python/db/wmbs
WMCore.Agent.Database   --> originally under src/python/db/agent
WMCore.BossAir          --> originally under src/python/db/bossair
WMCore.ResourceControl  --> originally under src/python/db/resourcecontrol
WMComponent.DBS3Buffer  --> originally under src/python/db/dbs3buffer

The wmcore-db-init script itself calls the WMInit.py script, executing basically the next four commands:

wmInit = WMInit()
wmInit.setLogging('wmcoreD', 'wmcoreD', logExists = False, logLevel = logging.DEBUG)

Tier0 Schema

The Tier0 schema is designed to support the Tier0 data processing system. It includes tables for:

• Run management and tracking
• Stream and dataset associations
• Lumi section processing
• Configuration management
• Workflow monitoring

Oracle Implementation

The Oracle implementation uses modern features like:

• IDENTITY columns for auto-incrementing IDs
• Inline foreign key constraints
• Organization index tables for performance
• Deterministic functions for state validation

The schema initialization includes:

• Table definitions with constraints
• Index definitions for performance
• Helper functions for state validation
• Initial data for run states, processing styles, and event scenarios

MariaDB Implementation

Tier0 system does not - yet - support multiple database backends. For the moment, we have not converted the Tier0 schema to be compliant with MariaDB/MySQL.

Test Database Schema

The Test Database schema provides a simple set of tables for testing database connectivity and basic operations. It includes:

• Tables with different data types (INT, VARCHAR, DECIMAL)
• Primary key constraints
• Table and column comments
• Cross-database compatibility

Oracle Implementation

The Oracle implementation uses:

• NUMBER for numeric columns
• VARCHAR2 for string columns
• Table and column comments
• Primary key constraints

MariaDB Implementation

The MariaDB implementation provides equivalent functionality using:

• INT and DECIMAL for numeric columns
• VARCHAR for string columns
• InnoDB engine specification
• Compatible comment syntax
