# Table Filter | ||
|
||
A table filter is an interface which determines if a table or schema should be | ||
accepted for some process or not given its name. | ||
|
||
This package defines the format allowing users to specify the filter criteria | ||
via command line or config files. This package is used by all tools in the TiDB | ||
ecosystem. | ||
|
||
## Examples | ||
|
||
```go | ||
package main | ||
|
||
import ( | ||
"fmt" | ||
|
||
"github.com/pingcap/tidb-tools/pkg/table-filter" | ||
"github.com/spf13/pflag" | ||
) | ||
|
||
func main() { | ||
args := pflag.StringArrayP("filter", "f", []string{"*.*"}, "table filter") | ||
pflag.Parse() | ||
|
||
f, err := filter.Parse(*args) | ||
if err != nil { | ||
panic(err) | ||
} | ||
f = filter.CaseInsensitive(f) | ||
|
||
tables := []filter.Table{ | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "employees"}, | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "departments"}, | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "dept_manager"}, | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "dept_emp"}, | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "titles"}, | ||
{Schema: "employees", Name: "salaries"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Person", Name: "Person"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Person", Name: "Password"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Sales", Name: "SalesOrderDetail"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Sales", Name: "SalesOrderHeader"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Production", Name: "WorkOrder"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Production", Name: "WorkOrderRouting"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Production", Name: "ProductPhoto"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Production", Name: "TransactionHistory"}, | ||
{Schema: "AdventureWorks.Production", Name: "TransactionHistoryArchive"}, | ||
} | ||
|
||
for _, table := range tables { | ||
fmt.Printf("%5v: %v\n", f.MatchTable(table.Schema, table.Name), table) | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Try to run with `./main -f 'employee.*' -f '*.WorkOrder'` and see the result. | ||
|
||
## Syntax | ||
|
||
### Whitelist | ||
|
||
The input to the `filter.Parse()` function is a list of table filter rules. | ||
Each rule specifies what the fully-qualified name of the table to be accepted. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
db1.tbl1 | ||
db2.tbl2 | ||
db3.tbl3 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
A plain name must only consist of valid [identifier characters] | ||
`[0-9a-zA-Z$_\U00000080-\U0010ffff]+`. All other ASCII characters are reserved. | ||
Some punctuations have special meanings, described below. | ||
|
||
### Wildcards | ||
|
||
Each part of the name can be a wildcard symbol as in [fnmatch(3)]: | ||
* `*` — matches zero or more characters | ||
* `?` — matches one character | ||
* `[a-z]` — matches one character between “a” and “z” inclusive | ||
* `[!a-z]` — matches one character except “a” to “z”. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
db[0-9].tbl[0-9][0-9] | ||
data.* | ||
*.backup_* | ||
``` | ||
|
||
“Character” here means a Unicode code point, so e.g. | ||
* U+00E9 (é) is 1 character. | ||
* U+0065 U+0301 (é) are 2 characters. | ||
* U+1F926 U+1F3FF U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F (🤦🏿♀️) are 5 characters. | ||
|
||
### File import | ||
|
||
Include an `@` at the beginning of the string to specify a file name, which | ||
`filter.Parse()` reads every line as filter rules. | ||
|
||
For example, if a file `config/filter.txt` has content: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
employees.* | ||
*.WorkOrder | ||
``` | ||
|
||
the following two invocations would be equivalent: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
./main -f '@config/filter.txt' | ||
./main -f 'employees.*' -f '*.WorkOrder' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
A filter file cannot further import another file. | ||
|
||
### Comments and blank lines | ||
|
||
Leading and trailing white-spaces of every line are trimmed. | ||
|
||
Blank lines (empty strings) are ignored. | ||
|
||
A leading `#` marks a comment and is ignored. | ||
`#` not at start of line may be considered syntax error. | ||
|
||
### Blacklist | ||
|
||
An `!` at the beginning of the line means the pattern after it is used to | ||
exclude tables from being processed. This effectively turns the filter into a | ||
blacklist. | ||
|
||
```ini | ||
*.* | ||
#^ note: must add the *.* to include all tables first | ||
!*.Password | ||
!employees.salaries | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Escape character | ||
|
||
Precede any special character by a `\` to turn it into an identifier character. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
AdventureWorks\.*.* | ||
``` | ||
|
||
For simplicity and future compatibility, the following sequences are prohibited: | ||
* `\` at the end of the line after trimming whitespaces (use “`[ ]`” to match a literal whitespace at the end). | ||
* `\` followed by any ASCII alphanumeric character (`[0-9a-zA-Z]`). In particular, C-like escape sequences like `\0`, `\r`, `\n` and `\t` currently are meaningless. | ||
|
||
### Quoted identifier | ||
|
||
Besides `\`, special characters can also be escaped by quoting using `"` or `` ` ``. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
"AdventureWorks.Person".Person | ||
`AdventureWorks.Person`.Password | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Quoted identifier cannot span multiple lines. | ||
|
||
It is invalid to partially quote an identifier. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
"this is "invalid*.* | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Regular expression | ||
|
||
Use `/` to delimit regular expressions: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
/^db\d{2,}$/./^tbl\d{2,}$/ | ||
``` | ||
|
||
These regular expressions use the [Go dialect]. The pattern is matched if the | ||
identifier contains a substring matching the regular expression. For instance, | ||
`/b/` matches `db01`. | ||
|
||
(Note: every `/` in the regex must be escaped as `\/`, including inside `[`…`]`. | ||
You cannot place an unescaped `/` between `\Q`…`\E`.) | ||

||
## Algorithm | ||
|
||
### Default behavior | ||
|
||
When a table name matches none of the rules in the filter list, the default | ||
behavior is to ignore such unmatched tables. | ||
|
||
To build a blacklist, an explicit `*.*` must be used as the first rule, | ||
otherwise all tables will be excluded. | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
# every table will be filtered out | ||
./main -f '!*.Password' | ||
|
||
# only the "Password" table is filtered out, the rest are included. | ||
./main -f '*.*' -f '!*.Password' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Precedence | ||
|
||
In a filter list, if a table name matches multiple patterns, the last match | ||
decides the outcome. For instance, given | ||
|
||
```ini | ||
# rule 1 | ||
employees.* | ||
# rule 2 | ||
!*.dep* | ||
# rule 3 | ||
*.departments | ||
``` | ||
|
||
We get: | ||
|
||
| Table name | Rule 1 | Rule 2 | Rule 3 | Outcome | | ||
|-----------------------|--------|--------|--------|------------------| | ||
| irrelevant.table | | | | Default (reject) | | ||
| employees.employees | ✓ | | | Rule 1 (accept) | | ||
| employees.dept_emp | ✓ | ✓ | | Rule 2 (reject) | | ||
| employees.departments | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Rule 3 (accept) | | ||
| else.departments | | ✓ | ✓ | Rule 3 (accept) | |
