Question Jeffrey Drumm · Apr 30, 2025

I ran into a situation where VS Code consumed all available web sessions and was unable to get to the Management Console to clear them. I was able to establish a terminal session, though.

Is there a method or routine available through the IRIS terminal that allows one to clear web sessions? I've searched the administration and class documentation and haven't found a solution.

I recently had to refresh my knowledge of the HealthShare EMPI module and since I've been tinkering with IRIS's vector storage and search functionalities for a while I just had to add 1 + 1.

For those of you who are not familiar with EMPI functionality here's a little introduction:

Enterprise Master Patient Index

In general, all EMPIs work in a very similar way, ingesting information, normalizing it and comparing it with the data already present in their system.

Question Pravin Barton · Apr 29, 2025

I have an IRIS persistent class with a %Stream property whose value is a JSON object. I'd like to use a SQL trigger to pull some value out of the JSON and persist it in another property, for easy querying and indexing. See below for a minimal example:

Class PAB.DebugStream Extends %Persistent
{

Property Contents As %Stream.GlobalCharacter;
Property msg As %String;
ClassMethod InsertRow()
{
    set stream = ##class(%Stream.GlobalCharacter).%New()
    $$$ThrowOnError(stream.Write({"msg":"hello world!"}))
    &sql(insert into PAB.

Question Scott Roth · Apr 28, 2025

I am struggling with returning a SQL Query Result that may have multiple rows that can be searched.

 set query = "SELECT Facility FROM FROM osuwmc_EnterpriseDirDB.RelationshipMedCtrID WHERE OSUmedcenterID = ?"
 SET rset = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
 SET qStatus = rset.%Prepare(query)
 SET rset = rset.%Execute($Get(ID))
 do rset.%Display()

I need to take the values that are returned and say search them for a single value. How would I go about returning the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot into a Array or List for it to be searchable.

Hi developers!

While developing web apps the security practice I consider safe and convenient is to create a special Role (e.g. equal application name) which contains security resources which application will need (SQL tables, priviledges, database access, etc) and assign it to the Web Application.
So the user gets this role once it loggs in to the application (via password, no password or delegated).

Convenient, right?

So, the question is, when I deploy the app as an IPM module what should I put as a database access?

I combined @Rodolfo Pscheidt https://github.com/RodolfoPscheidtJr/ollama-ai-iris with some files from @Guillaume Rongier https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/iris-rag-demo.

My own project is https://github.com/oliverwilms/ollama-ai-iris

I can run load_data.py and it connects to IRIS (same container).

When I try to run query_data.py https://github.com/oliverwilms/ollama-ai-iris/blob/main/query_data.py , it cannot connect to ollama:

ConnectionError: Failed to connect to Ollama. Please check that Ollama is downloaded, running and accessible.

I wonder if I need to add in query_data.

When working with InterSystems IRIS, database developers and architects often face a critical decision: whether to use Dynamic SQL or Embedded SQL for querying and updating data. Both methods have their unique strengths and use cases, but understanding their performance implications is essential to making the right choice. Response time, a key metric in evaluating application performance, can vary significantly depending on the SQL approach used. Dynamic SQL offers flexibility, as queries can be constructed and executed at runtime, making it ideal for scenarios with unpredictable or highly variable query needs. Conversely, Embedded SQL emphasizes stability and efficiency by integrating SQL code directly into application logic, offering optimized response times for predefined query patterns.

In this article, I will explore the response times when using these two types of SQL and how they depend on different class structures and usage of parameters. So to do this, I'm going to use the following classes from the diagram:
