Schnelle Abfrage zur Normalisierung von SQL-Daten

Dies ist meine andere Antwort, erweitert auf drei Spalten:

        -- Some test data
CREATE TABLE the_table
        ( id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
        , name varchar
        , a INTEGER
        , b varchar
        , c varchar
        );
INSERT INTO the_table(name, a,b,c) VALUES
 ( 'Chimpanzee' , 1, 'mammals', 'apes' )
,( 'Urang Utang' , 1, 'mammals', 'apes' )
,( 'Homo Sapiens' , 1, 'mammals', 'apes' )
,( 'Mouse' , 2, 'mammals', 'rodents' )
,( 'Rat' , 2, 'mammals', 'rodents' )
,( 'Cat' , 3, 'mammals', 'felix' )
,( 'Dog' , 3, 'mammals', 'canae' )
        ;

        -- [empty] table to contain the "squeezed out" domain {a,b,c}
CREATE TABLE abc_table
        ( id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
        , a INTEGER
        , b varchar
        , c varchar
        , UNIQUE (a,b,c)
        );

        -- The original table needs a "link" to the new table
ALTER TABLE the_table
        ADD column abc_id INTEGER -- NOT NULL
        REFERENCES abc_table(id)
        ;
        -- FK constraints are helped a lot by a supportive index.
CREATE INDEX abc_table_fk ON the_table (abc_id);

        -- Chained query to:
        -- * populate the domain table
        -- * initialize the FK column in the original table
WITH ins AS (
        INSERT INTO abc_table(a,b,c)
        SELECT DISTINCT a,b,c
        FROM the_table a
        RETURNING *
        )
UPDATE the_table ani
SET abc_id = ins.id
FROM ins
WHERE ins.a = ani.a
AND ins.b = ani.b
AND ins.c = ani.c
        ;

        -- Now that we have the FK pointing to the new table,
        -- we can drop the redundant columns.
ALTER TABLE the_table DROP COLUMN a, DROP COLUMN b, DROP COLUMN c;

SELECT * FROM the_table;
SELECT * FROM abc_table;

        -- show it to the world
SELECT a.*
        , c.a, c.b, c.c
FROM the_table a
JOIN abc_table c ON c.id = a.abc_id
        ;

Bearbeiten:Das scheint gut genug zu funktionieren und ich hasse es, die Ablehnung zu sehen, die ich dort eingefügt habe, also nutzlose Bearbeitung (CrazyCasta).
