As a former JAVA developer it has always been a challenge to decide which database was the most suitable for the project we were going to develop, one of the main criteria I used was their performance, as well as their HA configuration capabilities ( high availability). Well, now is the time to put IRIS to the test with respect to some of the most commonly used databases, so I've decided to create a small Java project based on SpringBoot that connects via JDBC with a MySQL database, another of PostgreSQL and finally with IRIS.

Dear experts,

Please, how can I estimated completion time for backups and restores. Is there a script to run and estimated that time?
Thank you so much.

Is anyone like me, and felt really jealous that they didn't have enough points to acquire the IRIS-based Raspberry Pi system when it was offered? Do you have a spare Raspberry Pi 4 handy? If so, I'll walk you through setting up Docker and IRIS on your Raspberry Pi so you can have the smallest IRIS computer in town!

Things you'll need:

Raspberry Pi 4 (at least 4G RAM, but I have several with 8G so that's what I used.

Hello,

Could someone help me with a solution, for example "dump" to IRIS.DAT, I mention that it is difficult to manipulate a file of ~ 200 GB. I would be interested in generating an IRIS.DAT file containing the "schema" without any information.

Thanks !

Hi we have started to get rid of orphaned data and would like to soon compact and truncate the database as will have about 40gb free to return to filesystem after the few weeks of running the new task. 

The idea would be to do this on the shadow server first of mirror rather than primary. 

Is there any reason this is a bad idea? Considering this needs done on both servers of mirrored db? As idea would be to do this on shadow server before we failover to the server a few days afterwards. And do the same for the month afterwards.

Out of curiosity, I was looking in ^ROUTINE global to see how routines are stored internally.

I found out that lot of nodes are displaying "~pointer" as associated value (eg: instead of a string).

What are those pointers ? My guess is that it references some cache internal structure (eg: some nodes inside a B-Tree).

Is there a easily way to see what is behind ? Are pointers useful for user globals or is this something purely internal to Cache database ?

Have a iris.dat file that was zipped in axis but , now I unzipped it and can see the file in my c drive but when I go to iris management console to perform a new db to pull in the current iris.dat file , in the wizard I do not see the iris.dat file listed.

Need some help with getting it restore the Cache backup in my iris community edition. 

thank you,

Hi Community,

This article is a continuation of my article about  Getting to know Python Flask Web Framework

In this article, we will cover the basics of topics listed below:

1. Routing in Flask Framework
2. Folder structure for a Flask app (Static and Template)
3. Getting and displaying data in the Flask application from IRIS.

So, let's begin.

Why can't I switch images when there are many queues

Hi All,

I am a beginner in cache. I need to extract data from multiple tables (4-5) tables based on an SQL query . The data is more than 9 lakhs of records (i checked using count). The total number columns is 16. 

When I am running this SQL query through management portal, I am getting time out exception. Could you please suggest how I can retrieve those records. Which way will be good (Dynamic query using %SQL.Statement or Embedded SQL (not known to me) or Writing to a global will help or not).

Hi All,

I want to move into CACHE/IRIS DBA role. Can anyone suggest what all learning must be done in order to move in this role. 

It would be great if you can provide the learning path as well for the topics. (links from I can learn the provided topics)

Thanks in advance!!

I need to test specific values in %DeepSee.Dashboard.Utils. For that i have to change them but this appears:

ERROR #5883: Item '%DeepSee.Dashboard.Utils' is mapped from a database that you do not have write permission on.

How can i get past it?

I need to split existing tables from database and put some parts of them into a new namespace. I dont know where to start, other than the installer.cls file. If you can provide clear instructions i would be greatful.
Example:
I have NAMESPACE=NEWTEST and DB

The i need to take TABLES from that DB pull specific data from them and bind it to NEWTEST

Hi Community,

My IRIS.DAT file is corrupted on one of my Edge productions in the development environment and as a result, I cannot start production.

I would like to recover it if there is a way to do so, please assist.

Regards,

IRISTEMP - IRIS.DAT took up all the available disk space of almost 2 TB that leads to Production instance down.

After RCA the suspected cause was some SQL query but not confirmed as query result was received within a minute.

Currently we are monitoring the IRIS.DAT and it is continuously increasing and currently we set the MAX size for this DB,  but not sure what will happen once it hit the MAX SIZE ?

Any clue why the IRISTEMP DB is not flushing the data from IRIS.DAT as i believe it is being mostly used for system processes and is in increasing trend at  ~ 1GB/day?

Hello,

searching messages in our Message Bank is quite slow, often runs into timeout.

I wanted to perform a tune table on  Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader because this apparently has not been done yet - the Tune Table utility shows no entries for selectivity, etc.

I tried

 w $SYSTEM.SQL.Stats.Table.GatherTableStats("""Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank"".MessageHeader")

and got this error message

  Table 'Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader' is mapped to a readonly datababase. No tuning will be performed.0 ЉpTable 'Ens_Enterprise_MsgBank.MessageHeader' is mapped to a readonly datababase.

Is there any way to connect PHP Laravel 8 and Cache DB.

I am tried with one post found in DC, but that is not working for me also.

If anyone has any suggestions please help me out in this. 

Hello all; I am using a one-to-many relationship.  I have a Claim (one), in a relationship with Lines (many), but the Claim is storing a list of Lines IDs, rather than the Lines storing the Claim Id.  This seems upside down, and not what I expected.

Class Claim

{
    Relationship ClaimLineRel as ClaimLine [Cardinality = many, Inverse = Claim];
}

Class ClaimLine
{
    Relationship Claim as Claim [ Cardinality = one, Inverse = ClaimLineRel, OnDelete = cascade];
    Index ClaimIndex on Claim;
}

But the storage globals for Claim show data in the ClaimLine spot:

^ClaimD(1)=$lb("",$lb(2,3).

This is the fifth part of the series of articles on migrating from the main databases on the market to InterSystems IRIS. In this part, the procedures for migrating from Oracle Database 21c will be detailed. As described in previous articles, there are currently a few options for how to do the migration, but the two most popular ones include the use of DBeaver (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/DBeaver) or SQLGateway.

Hi Devs!

Is there a way to get a Global that contains pesistence data for a class?

In early versions of IRIS it was classname_"D", like ^Sample.PersonD. Now, at least in IRIS 2022.1  it is something random.

This is a self contained class that can be run from the Intersystems Task Scheduler which records peak usage details for databases and licenses built up throughout the day and retaining 30 days history.

To schedule the task to run every hour:  

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule()

You can also specify your own start time, stop time, and run interval:

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule(startTime, stopTime, intervalMins)

Metrics are stored in ^Metrics in the namespace that the class resides in/is run from.

Hello everyone, I’m a French student that just arrived in Prague for an academical exchange for my fifth year of engineering school and here is my participation in the interop contest.

I hadn’t much time to code since I was moving from France to Prague and I’m participating alone, so I decided to make a project that’s more like a template rather than an application.

I wanted to participate since my field (Data Science and AI) is not often linked with sustainability and the contest was a way for me to express myself in this important subject that is sustainability and Environnement.

Hi Guys

I have a table data in one namespace that I want to access from another Namespace  - is that possible?

Cheers

This GitHub is the simplest way to scrap using IRIS and Python, all of that already incorporated in an IRIS PRODUCTION.
From here you can build any IRIS production in full Python or in ObjectScript as this module is interoperable.

In this GitHub we gather information from a csv, use a DataTransformation to make it into a FHIR object and then, save that information to a FHIR server all that using only Python.

The objective is to show how easy it is to manipulate data into the output we want, here a FHIR Bundle, in the IRIS full Python framework.

In this GitHub we fine tune a bert model from HuggingFace on review data like Yelp reviews.
The objective of this GitHub is to simulate a simple use case of Machine Learning in IRIS :
We have an IRIS Operation that, on command, can fetch data from the IRIS DataBase to train an existing model in local, then if the new model is better, the user can override the old one with the new one.
That way, every x days, if the DataBase has been extended by the users for example, you can train the model on the new data or on all the data and choose to keep or let go this new model.

Hi team,

I'll start with an apology as I am trying to wrap my head around the architecture of how InterSystems IRIS database management works. I am attempting to connect to the platform remotely through say a JDBC or ODBC connection in order to run queries, searches (through SQL statements) on my laptop and was trying to understand whether this would be possible? It is possible to setup an inbound client connection and wanted to better understand the architecture of how the database association works for IRIS database management. Does it use it's own internal SQL database or are we able to connect to our own database and which databases are certified to run against the platform?
