SQL

Hi Community!

There are two general ways to execute arbitrary SQL  in serverside ObjectScript code: EmbeddedSQL and ObjectScript SQL a.k.a. Dynamic SQL.

E.g. if we want to get the value of the property of instance with a certain ID using SQL we can do:

&sql(SELECT Name INTO :name FROM Sample.Person WHERE ID=1)

write name

Same result with %SQL.Statement:

set rs=##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect(,"SELECT Name as name FROM Sample.Person where ID=1")
  do rs.%Next()
  write rs.name

Just wondering an Insight in the difference between these two indexes

IdKey / PrimaryKey
================= 

Property Identifier As %Integer

Index Index1 on Identifier [Idkey]

Index Index2 on Identifier [PrimaryKey]

What's the difference?

1. If I don't have Index1 and only have Index2,  then cache does still make its own id.
So how and why  do I ever use the PrimaryKey.  In Joins ??

Table1.Identifier = Table2.Identifier instead of Table1.Id = Table2.id ??
But I can still use Table1.Id = Table2.Id as cache still made one ID field

So where is PrimaryKey useful in cache?

2. If I declare Index1 , I am not able to have any Bitmap indexes [Cache throws an error on compilation saying I have an Idkey index]

I try to create a column with computeonchange. 

Its works with CREATE TABLE sql command, but if i use ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN sql command this computeonchange doesn't works.

any reason why?

example:

CREATE TABLE MyStudents (   Name VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,   surname VARCHAR(16))

alter table MyStudents add column fullname Varchar(50) COMPUTECODE { SET {fullname}={Name}_ "?" _{surname}} COMPUTEONCHANGE (Name,surname)  

insert into SQLUser.MyStudents (Name, surname) values ('name1',null)

update MyStudents set name = 'name' where name = 'name1'

this not updates fullname column value....

but it's works with a create table command.

CREATE TABLE MyStudents (   Name VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,   surname VARCHAR(16),   fullname Varchar(50) COMPUTECODE { SET {fullname}={Name}_ "?" _{surname}} COMPUTEONCHANGE (Name,surname)  )

SetIdentityInsert call controls the ability of the user to specify a value for the IDENTITY property when saving a new object, a value for the IDENTITY column or an explicit ROWID value in an SQL INSERT. If IDENTITY_INSERT is false and the user specifies an explicit IDENTITY or ROWID value when saving a new object or inserting a new ROW then an error condition is reported.

Setting takes effect immediately and lasts for the duration of the process or until SetIdentityInsert is called again.

My question is how can I change this setting system-wide?

Is there a way or can it be done to use conditional logic in sql like so

 Query Q1(formal as %String) As %SQLQuery [ Final ]
{
    
    SELECT patientnumber,ID, CASE
    WHEN ID = 50 THEN "The is 50"
    WHEN ID = 30 THEN "This is 30"
    ELSE "The quantity is under 30"
END FROM Audit.Table WHERE ID = :formal AND EndDate is null} 

}

Problem

I'm working on exporting data from an Intersystems Cache database through the Cache ODBC Driver. There is a particular table that is giving me an error message. The ODBC Driver crashes and reports an error from the Cache system. I think I was able to trace down where the error is coming from, but I do not know how to debug or fix the error.

The table I am trying to extract is called SEDMIHP.

Here's the Error:

[Cache Error: <<UNDEFINED>%0AmBd16^%sqlcq.PRD.3284 ^SEDMIHP(4,77)>]
[Location: <ServerLoop - Query Fetch>]

Research/Trial & Error

I was able to open up Cache Management Studio and find the class that matched up with the table name. I should mention that this is my very first time working with Intersystems Cache, so I apologize if I'm sounding dumb or inexperienced here.

Within the SQLMap, I found this code

Hi, I'm looking for a way to implement the JDBC pattern "executeBatch" in ObjectScript: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/jdbc/jdbc-batch-processing.htm

Since Ensemble 2017.2.2 there is a new method called executeParametersBatch : https://docs.intersystems.com/ens20172/csp/docbook/relnotes/index.html#D...

Even in the Ensemble 2018.1 change log, mention a patch on this method: https://docs.intersystems.com/ens20181/csp/docbook/relnotes/index.html#J...

Do you have any examples or tracks to use the executeParametersBatch method of %Net.Remote.Java.JDBCGateway?
Otherwise have you found other workaround for batch insert in JDBC through an EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter

I have this query That I am trying  to use in my class when testing on the terminal I expect to get the results printed on the terminal but I am only getting zero printed please can anyone out there advice on what I am doing wrong

Method PatientInfo(ID As %String) As %Status
{ #dim status as %Status=$$$OK
  SET myquery="SELECT GUID, IDType,IDValue FROM MergeHyland.TypeTwoDimesionCollection WHERE GUID ="_ID
  SET rset=##class(%ResultSet.SQL).%Prepare(myquery,.err,"")
    WHILE rset.%Next() {
    WRITE !,rset.GUID & ":" & rset.IDType& ":" & rset.IDValue
    }
  WRITE "End of data"
    return status
}

Let's say I have this property:

Property FavoriteColors As List Of %String;

I heed to convert it to JSON using SQL or at least without object access (so direct global access).

What's the fastest way to do that?

I thought about JSON_ARRAY and JSON_ARRAYAGG sql functions but they don't do that.

I have an sql statement that I would like to execute but I get the error

"zSearchChanges+5^MergeHyland.TypeTwoUtil.1 *KeyID"

and here is my sq

l  "&sql(SELECT Key INTO :KeyID FROM MergeHyland.TypeTwoDimesionalTable WHERE Key = :Key)" any ideas why 

A very simple SQL

SELECT field1 F1, count(field2) CntF2
FROM GCT.PA_Data
where field1 is not null
group by field1

gives an error back:

 [SQLCODE: <-461>:<Communication link failure>]

  [%msg: <Connection 'TRAKCARELIVE': Execute: SQLState: (HY000) NativeError: [10053] Message: [Cache ODBC][State : HY000][Native Code 10053] [c:\intersystems\ensemble\bin\cache.exe] Software caused connection abort> ]

It does work in another (test) environment, but not on live. Any idea why?

Dear all,

In our application made in Caché object script, when we deploy some classes modified we have the option of calling "Purge queries" feature of Caché.

We only were doing this call when a %Persistent class definition (table) was modified, as we assume that no other changes affect the cached queries and we don't  want to purge them by default, as the first run of a query becomes slow.

We had a case where no table definition was changed but a purge queries was the solution.

Do you know if any other change could affect the cached queries and a purge queries is necessary? 

Regards,
