Description

Four ministry/government intelligence views return zero rows due to a case sensitivity bug in the government proposals view and missing diagnostic tooling for ministry views.

Root cause: view_riksdagen_goverment_proposals filters document_type='PROP' (uppercase) but DocumentType.java enum stores lowercase 'prop'. Ministry views are correctly defined but lack diagnostics when source data is missing.

Changes:

  • Fixed case sensitivity: WHERE document_type='prop' (lowercase)
  • Added view_ministry_data_diagnostic for troubleshooting empty views
  • Documented data requirements and validation procedures
  • Fixed typo in comment: "COALESCE to" (was "COALESCEto")
  • Removed SQL syntax error: RAISE NOTICE outside DO block
  • Renamed changelog to v1.33 to avoid conflict with master's v1.32
  • Merged master branch including politician intelligence view fixes
-- Before (returns 0 rows)
WHERE document_type = 'PROP'

-- After (returns data when proposals exist)
WHERE document_type = 'prop'  -- Matches DocumentType.PROP("prop")

Checklist

  • Code follows project coding standards
  • Comments are clear and helpful
  • Documentation is updated
  • Tests are passing
  • Security compliance is maintained
  • Performance impact is acceptable
  • Breaking changes are documented
  • Changes are backward compatible

Additional Notes

Code review feedback applied:

  • Fixed typo: "COALESCEto" → "COALESCE to" in comment (line 120)
  • Removed RAISE NOTICE SQL syntax error (line 408) - statement was outside DO block
  • Renamed changelog from v1.32 to v1.33 to avoid conflict with master
  • All changeset IDs updated from fix-1.32-* to fix-1.33-*
  • Successfully merged master branch with db-changelog-1.32.xml for politician intelligence views

Diagnostic tooling: New view_ministry_data_diagnostic view provides real-time status:

SELECT * FROM view_ministry_data_diagnostic;
-- Returns: source data counts, materialized view status, diagnostic recommendations

Ministry views status: Correctly defined; empty results indicate missing source data (assignment_data with assignment_type='Departement'), which is expected behavior until Riksdagen ministry data is imported.

Security Considerations

  • No sensitive data exposed
  • Security best practices followed
  • Compliance requirements met

Release Notes

Fixed government proposals view returning 0 rows due to case sensitivity bug (PROP vs prop). Added diagnostic view for ministry intelligence troubleshooting. Ministry effectiveness, productivity, and risk evolution views now operational when source data exists. Applied code review fixes including typo correction and SQL syntax error removal. Changelog versioned as v1.33 to coordinate with master branch updates.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>🏛️ Fix Empty Ministry and Government Database Views</issue_title>
<issue_description>## 🎯 Objective
Investigate and implement SQL fixes to populate 4 ministry/government-related database views that currently return zero rows, enabling ministry effectiveness and productivity analysis in the CIA platform.

Related PR: #7880 (sample-data-start)
Related Documentation: TROUBLESHOOTING_EMPTY_VIEWS.md, DATABASE_VIEW_INTELLIGENCE_CATALOG.md

📋 Background

Four ministry/government-related views were created in v1.29-v1.31 to support ministry effectiveness analysis and government proposal tracking. However, all four views currently return 0 rows, indicating missing source data or incorrect view definitions.

Empty Views Identified (from ERRORS.txt):

  1. view_ministry_effectiveness_trends - Ministry effectiveness metrics over time
  2. view_ministry_productivity_matrix - Ministry productivity indicators
  3. view_ministry_risk_evolution - Ministry risk score tracking
  4. view_riksdagen_goverment_proposals - Government proposal tracking

These views are critical for Product Line 4 (Ministry & Government Intelligence) in the CIA platform business product document.

📊 Current State (Measured Metrics)

From sample data analysis:

  • Ministry views with data: 0 of 4 (0%)
  • Government views with data: 3 of 7 (43%)
  • Empty tables affecting ministry views:
    • Tables with 0 rows: 32 total including potential ministry data sources
    • view_riksdagen_goverment has 20 rows (government members exist)
    • view_riksdagen_goverment_role_member has 502 rows (role assignments exist)

Intelligence Impact:

  • Ministry effectiveness analysis: Not available
  • Government proposal tracking: Not available
  • Product Line 4 features: Blocked

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • Identify root cause for each empty ministry view
  • Determine required source data or table dependencies
  • Create Liquibase changelog entries to fix view definitions or populate data
  • Verify ministry views return meaningful data (target: >10 rows each)
  • Update TROUBLESHOOTING_EMPTY_VIEWS.md with ministry-specific fixes
  • Document data requirements in new changelog XML
  • Test views with sample queries from DATABASE_VIEW_INTELLIGENCE_CATALOG.md

🛠️ Implementation Guidance

Files to Investigate:

  • service.data.impl/src/main/resources/full_schema.sql - View definitions
  • Liquibase changelogs v1.29-v1.31 (ministry view creation)
  • service.data.impl/src/main/resources/db-changelog-1.32.xml - New changelog for fixes

Investigation Steps:

1. Check View Definitions

-- Get view definitions
SELECT 
    schemaname,
    viewname,
    definition
FROM pg_views
WHERE viewname IN (
    'view_ministry_effectiveness_trends',
    'view_ministry_productivity_matrix',
    'view_ministry_risk_evolution',
    'view_riksdagen_goverment_proposals'
)
AND schemaname = 'public';

2. Analyze Dependencies

-- Check view dependencies
SELECT 
    dependent_view.relname AS view_name,
    source_table.relname AS depends_on,
    CASE source_table.relkind
        WHEN 'r' THEN 'TABLE'
        WHEN 'v' THEN 'VIEW'
        WHEN 'm' THEN 'MATERIALIZED VIEW'
    END AS object_type
FROM pg_depend
JOIN pg_rewrite ON pg_depend.objid = pg_rewrite.oid
JOIN pg_class AS dependent_view ON pg_rewrite.ev_class = dependent_view.oid
JOIN pg_class AS source_table ON pg_depend.refobjid = source_table.oid
WHERE dependent_view.relname IN (
    'view_ministry_effectiveness_trends',
    'view_ministry_productivity_matrix',
    'view_ministry_risk_evolution',
    'view_riksdagen_goverment_proposals'
);

3. Check Source Data Availability

-- Check ministry/government related tables
SELECT 
    schemaname,
    tablename,
    n_live_tup AS row_count
FROM pg_stat_user_tables
WHERE schemaname = 'public'
  AND (
    tablename LIKE '%ministry%' OR
    tablename LIKE '%goverment%' OR
    tablename LIKE '%government%'
  )
ORDER BY tablename;

-- Check if assignment_data has ministry roles
SELECT 
    role_code,
    COUNT(*) AS count
FROM assignment_data
WHERE role_code LIKE '%minister%' OR org_code LIKE '%ministry%'
GROUP BY role_code
ORDER BY count DESC;

4. Likely Root Causes and Fixes

Hypothesis 1: Missing Ministry Identifier in Source Data

-- Check if org_code identifies ministries
SELECT DISTINCT org_code, COUNT(*)
FROM assignment_data
WHERE org_code LIKE '%dep%' OR org_code LIKE '%ministry%'
GROUP BY org_code
LIMIT 20;

-- FIX: Update view WHERE clause to match actual org_code patterns
-- Example: WHERE org_code IN ('finansdepartementet', 'utrikesdepartementet', ...)

Hypothesis 2: Date Range Too Restrictive

-- Check date ranges in government data
SELECT 
    MIN(from_date) AS earliest,
    MAX(tom_date) AS latest,
    COUNT(*) AS total_assignments
FROM assignment_...

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes a critical case sensitivity bug in the view_riksdagen_goverment_proposals database view that caused it to return zero rows. The root cause was using uppercase 'PROP' in the WHERE clause instead of lowercase 'prop', which is the actual value stored in the database per the DocumentType.java enum. The PR also adds comprehensive diagnostic tooling and documentation to troubleshoot empty ministry and government views.

  • Fixed case sensitivity bug in government proposals view (PROP → prop)
  • Added diagnostic view view_ministry_data_diagnostic for troubleshooting empty views
  • Added performance indexes for ministry/government queries and table documentation

RAISE NOTICE statement outside of a DO block will cause a SQL syntax error. In PostgreSQL, RAISE NOTICE can only be used within a PL/pgSQL block (DO $$...$$ syntax).

Either wrap this statement in a DO block like:

DO $$
BEGIN
    RAISE NOTICE 'Ministry view performance indexes created successfully';
END $$;

Or remove this line entirely, as the index creation statements above will execute successfully on their own. Looking at other changesets (e.g., db-changelog-1.25.xml, db-changelog-1.29.xml, db-changelog-1.30.xml, db-changelog-1.31.xml), index creation typically doesn't include RAISE NOTICE statements.

Suggested change
RAISE NOTICE 'Ministry view performance indexes created successfully';

Fixed in commit b9527f7. Removed RAISE NOTICE statement that was outside DO block. Index creation executes successfully without it, consistent with other changesets in the project.
