ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY
ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY
is used to modify existing placement policies that have previously been created. All the tables and partitions which use the placement policy will automatically be updated.
Note
This feature is not available on TiDB Serverless clusters.
ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY
replaces the previous policy with the new definition. It does not merge the old policy with the new one. In the following example, FOLLOWERS=4
is lost when the ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY
is executed:
CREATE PLACEMENT POLICY p1 FOLLOWERS=4;
ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY p1 PRIMARY_REGION="us-east-1" REGIONS="us-east-1,us-west-1";

Examples
Note
To know which regions are available in your cluster, see SHOW PLACEMENT LABELS.
If you do not see any available regions, your TiKV installation might not have labels set correctly.
CREATE PLACEMENT POLICY p1 PRIMARY_REGION="us-east-1" REGIONS="us-east-1,us-west-1";
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT) PLACEMENT POLICY=p1; -- Assign policy p1 to table t1
ALTER PLACEMENT POLICY p1 PRIMARY_REGION="us-east-1" REGIONS="us-east-1,us-west-1,us-west-2" FOLLOWERS=4; -- The rules of t1 will be updated automatically.
