eml# Self-authored for the EML case corpus (no external origin). The data migration
# passed every post-migration check, and each check is real. How many rows the
# migration touched is computed below.
#
# The checks are careful. Each is a per-row assertion over the migrated rows, not
# a spot check; every migrated row is verified, not a sample; a single failing
# row fails the migration; and the checks run in the same transaction as the
# migration.
#
# The migration's WHERE clause matched no rows, and a per-row check over no rows
# passes trivially.

textrows in the table : 2000000
rows the migration matched : 0
rows the checks ran over : 0
rows that failed a check : 0
reported checks passed : 100 per hundred
rows that needed migrating : 740000
left unmigrated : 740000
unmigrated share : 10000 per ten thousand
the post-migration checks
each : a per-row assertion, not a spot check
over : every migrated row, not a sample
a failing row : fails the whole migration
run : in the migration's own transaction
rows that failed a check : 0
verdict : ALL CHECKS PASSED
per-row assertions in the same transaction is the part
done right here, and it is why a genuinely bad migrated
row would fail the run
the migrated rows
the migration's WHERE matched : 0
so rows the checks assert over : 0
a per-row check over zero rows : passes, every one of
none satisfied
what 'all checks passed' means here : nothing was
checked
what it does not mean : that the migration ran
the migration's WHERE clause
what it matched : 0
why : it filters on a status value the rows no longer
use after an earlier migration renamed it
rows that actually needed the change :
740000
did the checks notice they were untouched : no; they
were never in scope
is the pass false : no; it is vacuously true
null control - assert an expected row count
checks pass over empty : 100 per hundred
checks pass when empty is an error :
0
rows a count assertion would flag as unmigrated :
740000
no row changed; an empty change set stopped counting as
a passed migration
what all-checks-passed guarantees
every migrated row satisfies every check : exactly,
per row, in one transaction, none failing
the migration ran : not addressed; the WHERE matched no
rows, and a per-row check over no rows passes trivially
- 740000 rows that needed migrating were untouched, and
every check was green over the empty set
a per-row guarantee is quantified over the rows in scope, and an empty scope
satisfies it completely; 'every migrated row is correct' is most true when no
row was migrated, which is when the migration did nothing
Each check is a per-row assertion over every migrated row in one transaction -
all green. The WHERE matched 0 rows, so the checks passed vacuously over
none, while 740000 rows that needed the change went untouched, 10000 per ten
thousand of them.Trace event types
