Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an application programming interface (API) for the programming language Java, which defines how a client may access a database.

Currently could be downloaded from here.

Question Hour Abdellatif · Jan 27

Hello Community,

I am facing a JDBC connection issue after migrating from Caché 2016 to Caché 2018.1. When I attempt to connect using the following connection settings:

CACHE_DATASOURCE_URL=jdbc:Cache://localhost:1972/TEST

CACHE_DB_USERNAME=test

CACHE_DB_PASSWORD=test
 

I consistently receive the following error:

[Cache JDBC] Communication link failure: Access Denied

This configuration worked perfectly with Caché 2016. I have verified the following:

  1. The namespace (TEST) exists and is correctly specified in the connection URL.
  2. The credentials (username: test, password: test) are correct.

I need to reproduce a table (in fact a view, but let's start with a simple table 😊) in IRIS as the currently used in Oracle.

I need to expose/project one column to JDBC as CLOB, in my class I have the corresponding property defined as:

Property GlobStream As %Stream.GlobalCharacter;

In JDBC this column is projected as LONGVARCHAR, this is compliant with the documentation but I need to project it as CLOB.

In addition, I'm no expert in JDBC but wit seems that LONGVARCHAR has a Maximum Length 32,700 characters in JDBC, not quite enough for an arbitrary stream.

Technical Documentation — Quarkus IRIS Monitor System

1. Purpose and Scope

This module enables integration between Quarkus-based Java applications and InterSystems IRIS’s native performance monitoring capabilities.
It allows a developer to annotate methods with @PerfmonReport, which triggers IRIS’s ^PERFMON routines automatically around method execution, generating performance reports without manual intervention.


2. System Components

2.1 Annotation: @PerfmonReport

  • Defined as a CDI InterceptorBinding.
  • Can be applied to methods or classes.

The Rut

Up until early this year, I haven't been not doing much coding at all -- I had gotten sick of it.

After many years as a hands-on software engineer and data scientist, I got burned out around 2015. I switched to business development roles focused on "external innovation," then joined InterSystems in 2019 as a product manager. I missed the creative aspects of coding, but not the tedium. The endless cycle of boilerplate, debugging, and context-switching had left me creatively depleted.

Hi everyone. Long time no see. Again, I would like to share what I am studying recently Create Foreign Tables Using SQL via JDBC.

Since I am learning about the IRIS BI at the same time, so I started with this Sample-BI docker environment

https://github.com/intersystems/Samples-BI

 

After starting the environment, login to the management portal http://localhost:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp  with the user Superuser.

Switch the namespace to IRISAPP.

 

😀 We will find out that all the sample data are stored in this namespace IRISAPP.

Question Attila Toth · Nov 10, 2025

Hello!

I'm trying to create some foreign tables to a PostgreSQL database. In some cases, columns with certain datatypes cannot be consumed by IRIS and the following error is thrown:

 [SQLCODE: <-237>:<Schema import for foreign table did not return column metadata>]

  [%msg: <Unkown data type returned by external database>]

For example: serial4 typed ID columns are typical examples. Is it possible, what's the best way of resolving these datatypes, which- seemingly- don't have proper JDBC metadata mappings?

How can I create a Task that tells a Ens.BusinessService to execute its SQL query using the EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter?

So far I have come up with

Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.Task.Definition
{

Parameter TaskName As STRING = "OSU - Workday Termination Update";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
    try{
        // Call BusinessService
        set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService",.tService)

        if $IsObject(tService){
            set inputMessage = ##class(Ens.StringContainer).

How to execute a stored procedure in a remote DB2 database?

Hi Everyone,

I want to access a stored procedure in a remote DB2 database. The stored procedure in question is linked and receives a numeric value, returning a cursor with N number of rows. Sometimes the number of rows reaches hundreds of thousands, so I need to apply pagination.

I've been reading about the %ScrollableResultSet library, but it doesn't allow me to call a stored procedure.

Here's part of the code:
Set pValor=12345678
Set callSql="CALL Paquete.ClaseSpRemoto(?)"
Set rs=##class(%ScrollableResultSet).
