Any news about JDBC driver and Hibernate dialect on a public java repository, like mvnrepository? Today I need to download the jdbc driver and hibernate jar, add as an external resource on my maven config file to works.

Good morning!

I am developing a Java project (Spring Boot + Maven + Hibernate) but I've a big issue when I try to define the Hibernate Dialect org.hibernate.dialect.InterSystemsIRISDialect... that dialect is neither in the Hibernate library nor in the IRISDriver class com.intersystems.jdbc

How should I define the IRISDialect in my project?

Thank you in advance!

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.

Ran into an issue with our upgrade from HealthShare Health Connect 2018.1.3 to IRIS HealthShare Health Connect 2022.1, that I thought I would reach out about, I already have a ticket open with WRC and started a chat on Discord. We have a couple of MS SQL tables that I have setup as Linked Tables within Cache to query NPI, Patient Account Information, Visit information, etc.

Several steps should be done in order to secure the connection through xDBC clients to an IRIS Server instance using TLS. Most of the information can be obtained from the documentation about TLS on IRIS here, about configuring the security layer for encrypted connections. In the next paragraphs we will cover an step-by-step guide on how to configure and test the connection using SQL Clients apps using ODBC and JDBC.

In this article, we will establish an encrypted JDBC connection between Tableau Desktop and InterSystems IRIS database using a JDBC driver. While documentation on configuring TLS with Java clients covers all possible topics on establishing an encrypted JDBC connection, configuring it with Tableau might be a little bit tricky, so I decided to write it down.

Securing SuperServer

Before we start with client connections, you need to configure SuperServer, which by default runs on port 1972 and is responsible for xDBC traffic to accept encrypted connections.

Hi all,

I'm trying to use LOAD DATA to insert 11k (11,377) rows of data. LOAD BULK DATA is not available for the version of IRIS I am using.

After calling LOAD DATA it says only 5,500 rows has been inserted. The LOAD DATA docs says any error rows are skipped and a count of skipped rows can be found in %SQL_Diag.Result however there are no results here. There are no errors in the xDBC error log either.

Why have over half the rows been skipped?

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with connecting to IRIS with OLEDB through an OLEDB-ODBC bridge? In this case the client can only speak OLEDB at this moment.

WIN SQL is the normal editor used by most of the users .But we can't download large amount of data using winsql . So I have written a tutorial how to connect with a new Java based editor called Squirrel SQL which can easily download or export data in excel or any other formats. Also I included a Java JCBC connection program to connect with the IRIS database especially a mirroring/failover server.

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Intersystems Caché Database and its jdbc driver. I need to set the connection timeout for the database, but I couldn't find any documentation stating that the jdbc driver for Caché supports setting the connection timeout. However, I noticed that the jdbc driver for the Intersystems Iris Database appears to support this feature.

My question is, can I use the Iris jdbc driver to set the connection timeout for the Caché Database?

The jdbc driver I use: cache-jdbc-2.0.0.jar

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Kalle

I am trying to pinpoint and troubleshoot an issue we have been seeing lately. We have several SQL Outbound Adapter Operations that are seeing issues trying to connect to our MS SQL Servers using the JDBC Gateway for calling insert, select, update, and stored procedure calls.

ERROR <Ens>ErrFailureTimeout: FailureTimeout of 20 seconds exceeded in osuwmc.Visit.

SSH framework is a relatively representative framework of Java, which was popular many years ago. There are Struts+Spring+hibernate and Spring MVC+Spring+hibernate. Of course, I used the second one in college. If I can connect IRIS to Hibernate as a library, does it also mean that IRIS can be developed using SSH framework in theory?

Tools and environment

JDK 1.8

       Maven

       Hibernate 5.X.X

       IRISHealth-2022.1.3

       intellij idea

       Windows 10 64

We are trying to script a High Availability Shutdown/Start script in case we need to fail over to one of our other servers we can be back up within mins. Is there a way to configure the startup procedure to Automatically Stop/Start the JDBC server when shutting down or starting up cache? is there an auto setting we can change?

Thanks

Dear community members!

A very common problem of our users is to use an external database as data source in an IRIS production. As many of you already know, we have two ways to connect directly to an external database, the first one is using an ODBC connection, the second is using JDBC.

In our example we are going to create a connection using JDBC, and we are going to build a simple Docker's project, in this way you will be able to modify the example as you wish.

The code is available from this URL: https://github.com/intersystems-ib/workshop-sql-jgw

In our docker-compose.

The last days I've work with the great new feature: LOAD DATA With this post I would like to share my first experiences with you. The following points do not contain any order or other evaluation. These are only things that I noticed when using the LOAD DATA command. It should also be noted that these points are based on the IRIS Version 2021.2.0.617 which is a preview release. So it may be that my observations do not apply to newer IRIS versions. But maybe they are helpful for others.

1) The file path is on server side

I have done my first tests via JDBC.

Introduction

There are many entities in IRIS which are extremely difficult to transfer to another system.They usually contain important system-stored objects: users, roles, privileges, mappings, and applications. The exception to this list is for resources, which are facilitated by the ability to select and save them from the management portal interface [System > Security Management > Resources] Yet, things are not as good with other system objects.

Get the quick and easy steps for setting up ODBC/JDBC connections to InterSystems IRIS® data platform and InterSystems IRIS for Health™:

• Setting Up JDBC Connections
• Setting Up ODBC Connections

Now in an easy-to-use, checklist format to help you work through the process on your own system.

Enjoy!

Hi Developers,

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am having with the JDBC Gateway Server crashing at the %SYS level. I have numerous Linked Tables that are using JDBC to connect to a MS SQL database/tables to query values. I have written queries in other class files and within the class definition of the linked table to do the queries.

1. Should I be running the query in the class definition of the linked table as a class method? or is it best practice to run the query as a class method outside of the class definition of the linked table?

2. I was reading documentation and came across the Config.

I just wrote up a quick sample to help a colleague load data into IRIS from R using RJDBC, and figured it's worth sharing here for future reference.

Ultimately it was pretty simple, aside from IRIS not liking "." in column names; the workaround is to just rename the columns. Someone better at R than me could probably provide some generic approach. 

# Need a valid value for JAVA_HOME prior to calling library(RJDBC)
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="C:\\Java\\jdk-8.0.322.

I was attempting to test a Linked JDBC View to MS SQL database and noticed I could not connect. When I look at the JDBC Gateway I noticed that at the Server Level it was down. However the page keeps timing out when ever I attempt to make any changes or start it, it will not respond.

I thought I had found the Cache command to start it but it will not start. Is the following steps correct?

As we all know, Caché is a great database that accomplishes lots of tasks within itself. However, what do you do when you need to access an external database? One way is to use the Caché SQL Gateway via JDBC. In this article, my goal is to answer the following questions to help you familiarize yourself with the technology and debug some common problems.

Outline

• What are the connection parameters you need to connect to a remote database?
• What is the JDBC Gateway vs the Java Gateway Service in Ensemble?
• What tools and methods are available to debug issues?

Is it possible to access (read, write) to an external Oracle database via Cache SQL Gateway using JDBC in Cache Object Script?  I am currently using ODBC successfully but wanted to see if JDBC was an option too.  If it is possible, does anyone have a basic Object Script example(s) that I can review?

Thanks!

Hi ,

     When I use jdbc driver to query the column info ,the "REMARKS" field always show the same as the "COLUMN_NAME" field.

When I use the sql "select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns a where a.table_name='some table name ' " to query columns info,there has a "DESCRIPTION" field ,the value is some comment for the current field.

So is there anyway to return the description to the jdbc  remarks field? And is there anyway to update the desciption or remarks field? Or is there some other way that I don't know to manage column comment info?

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?

Hi,

I'm trying to load some data into IRIS using LOAD DATA in the IRIS terminal however I am getting blocked by this error. I have read the documentation on this page trying to set up a gateway connection but get the same Connection cannot be established error.

Hello,

I work on deploying IRIS using Kubernetes operator and Red Hat OpenShift. I encouraged another team working on Java application to consider using IRIS as database. My team deployed IRIS cluster using two mirrored data pods for the other team. The other team asked me for the connection information.

To learn how to use Java with IRIS, I attempted to deploy two apps from Open Exchange:

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/CRUD-GLOBALS-IRISNATIVEAP…

Here I got errors like this:

package com.intersystems.jdbc does not  exist

Hello everyone!

I am writing a SQL CALL (using JDBC) to a stored procedure that outputs a structured object (Oracle Object).

We are planning to build a REST API with the Java Quarkus Framework.

• There'll be a connection pool;
• The DataSource instance will be automatically injected from the connection pool;
• We will use JDBI to do SQL instructions and this will give us automatic Connection and Statement management;

This Caché instance already have COS applications running and consuming connections and licenses.

After doing this, we will migrate to IRIS.

Is there any pitfalls that we must be aware before taking this approach?

If you want to see some code the PoC can be found here.

Thanks.
