This commit only expands an existing developer helper test in the LND codebase. It adds configuration options so engineers can locally test migrating graph data between different database backends (bbolt, sqlite, postgres). The test is skipped by default and does not change any production code, network behavior, or user-facing functionality. There is no security issue here.

This commit fixes a database migration rollback script. When undoing the invoices-related database schema, the script previously tried to drop indexes that either had wrong names or did not exist, and it forgot to drop one index that actually exists. This is a cleanup/maintenance fix for a 'down' migration; it does not change normal runtime behavior or fix an active security vulnerability.

sqldb: add missing index for settled invoices

45/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Informational 19/100

This commit adds a database index on the 'settle_index' column of the 'invoices' table. An index is like a lookup table that makes certain database queries much faster. The commit title says it is a 'missing' index, suggesting it should have existed already. Without it, operations that look up settled invoices by their settle index could be slow, especially as the database grows. This is a performance fix, not a code change that directly prevents or enables an attack.

This commit is a performance optimization for LND's database migration from the older key-value store to the new SQL store. It changes how channel and routing-policy records are verified after being copied: instead of reading back each channel one at a time, the code now collects a batch and reads them together. There is no security fix here and no indication it closes a vulnerability; it is purely about reducing database round trips during an upgrade.

This commit is a performance optimization for a database migration in the Lightning Network Daemon (LND). It changes how the software verifies that closed channel identifiers were copied correctly from an older key-value database to a newer SQL database. Instead of checking each identifier one at a time, it now checks them in groups (batches). This should make the migration faster but does not change what data is stored or fix a security vulnerability.

This commit changes how LND validates data copied from an older key-value database into a newer SQL database during a one-time migration.

The change still checks that every copied entry matches the original, and it still reports an error if anything does not match.

graph/db: move sanity check out of insertChannel

We do this so that this lookup is only done in the situation it is
actually needed. During a migration, we dont need to special case this
AlreadyExists error since we will terminate the transaction either way.
So there is no need for the extra lookup during the migration.

A timing analysis showed that this query was significantly impacting the
performance of the migration when run with a postgres backend.

This change is a performance optimization for LND's database code. It moves a 'does this channel already exist?' check from inside a helper function to the caller, so the check is skipped during database migrations where it isn't needed. The commit message says this significantly speeds up migrations on PostgreSQL. There is no direct evidence this fixes a security vulnerability.

This commit adds input validation to LND's database configuration settings. Previously, users could set SQL batch sizes larger than the database can actually handle, which could cause database queries to fail. The change enforces safe maximums for SQLite and Postgres, preventing misconfiguration rather than fixing an active vulnerability.

multi: remove DefaultQueryConfig

And always make use of either the new DefaultSQLiteConfig or
DefaultPostgresConfig.

This commit removes a one-size-fits-all database query configuration and replaces it with separate SQLite and PostgreSQL defaults. It also threads the correct configuration through graph migration and lookup code instead of silently using a hard-coded default. The change is primarily a correctness and maintainability improvement; it does not appear to fix an active vulnerability, but it prevents potential bugs where the wrong database backend settings could be used during graph data migration or node lookups.

config+sqldb: make native SQL query config options configurable

Here, we make the sql query option params (batch size and pagination
size) configurable. The defaults for SQLite vs Postgres are still the
same but will be changed in an upcoming commit.

This commit simply exposes two internal database tuning knobs—batch size and pagination size—for SQLite and Postgres as user-configurable options. It does not change any security behavior, fix a bug, or alter access controls. It is a routine configuration enhancement.

graph/db: fix progress logs

45/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit fixes progress logging counters in database migration code. Three migration functions were incrementing a 'count' variable but not a separate 'chunk' variable, which is likely used to decide when to print progress updates. The fix adds the missing 'chunk++' increments so progress logs are emitted at the intended intervals. There is no security relevance visible in the code change.

graph/db+sqldb: find best default query cfg values for sqlite & postgres

This commit adds a BenchmarkFindOptimalSQLQueryConfig test in the
graph/db package which runs ForEachNode and ForEachChannel queries
against a local backend using various different values for the sql
QueryConfig struct. This is done to determine good default values to
use for the config options for sqlite vs postgres.

AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This commit is a performance tuning change, not a security fix. It adds a benchmark to find the best default query batch/page sizes for SQLite versus Postgres in LND's graph database code, then splits the previous single default config into separate SQLite and Postgres defaults. There is no indication it fixes a vulnerability or changes any security behavior.
