Bug description
create index fs_parent
    on nextclouddev.oc_filecache (parent);

create index fs_parent_name_hash
    on nextclouddev.oc_filecache (parent, name);
  • the database can use fs_parent_name_hash for any operation it would have used fs_parent
  • INSERT and DELETE have to maintain both indices
  • UPDATES of parent have to both indices
Steps to reproduce
  1. Install Nextcloud
Expected behavior

Efficient use of database indices

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the schema or migration definitions for oc_filecache and the fs_parent and fs_parent_name_hash indexes, then inspect how index changes are handled across supported databases. Done means the redundant fs_parent index is no longer created while the useful composite index remains and database behavior is preserved.
