#SQL

Background: We have our own SQL map that predates InterSystems'. A program writes an XML file for each table map class as $system.OBJ.Export would. $system.OBJ.LoadDir loads the XML files into .cls files.

The reason is a long story, but we need to update parameter EXTENTSIZE (only) in existing classes. This does not seem to happen. As a test I used $system.OBJ.Export to make an XML file and edited EXTENTSIZE in the two places it appears in the XML:

<StorageStrategy>SQLStorage</StorageStrategy>
<Parameter name="EXTENTSIZE"><Default>1001</Default></Parameter>

<Storage name="SQLStorage">
<Type>%Storag

Hi,

I'm doing a query in SQL and I need to sort my data by some non-repeated field.

Unfortunately, my data is grouped in a way that I cannot guarantee that any column will not have repeated data, so one solution would be to take the row number.

Also, the Cache is not accepting Row_Number () in my querry and I would like to know if there is another solution to return line numbers or some way to add this function to the Cache.

Best regards.

Cache ODBC State S1000 Native Code 400 Illegal Value

This is my query:

select  DateTijdSec from 
 GLPPatTcActie 
 where pnr = '27085070017' and LTestId->Makey='BLA' and VerzamelDatTijd < '2021-03-04-2021 09:04' and glpactieid->makey in ('TAV','TMA') order by DateTijdSec desc

Most likely there is a wrong date time in the table, how can i get the data?

Olá a todos!

Estou com dificuldades de fazer meu select para retornar palavras que contém acentos.

Na minha tabela TESTE, por exemplo, tenho palavras no campo NOME como Fábio e Fabio, porém se eu coloco a instrução:

SELECT * FROM TESTE
WHERE nome LIKE 'FÁBIO'

a instrução só traz FÁBIO.

Como eu faço para trazer todas as palavras: FÁBIO, FABIO, FABÍO, FABIÓ, FÁBÍÓ, FÂBIO, etc...

Conto com sua ajuda!

Hello everyone!I'm having trouble making my select to return words that contain accents.

Hi,

Im wondering if its possible to pass a SQL query through to the Power BI IRIS Connector? I can't currently see an option - and have tried through advance editor to use M Query syntax to attempt this with no luck. 

Has anyone else in the community had any luck or know if this is supported?

Thanks.

It is common to test a connection sending a general SQL instruction to the database, in Oracle we send select 1 from dual, for example, and in IRIS what the best option?

I am trying to use Dynamic SQL because I need to supply data at runtime.
The generated query returns 0 rows for some reason. If I copy/paste the query into Monitor, it works correctly. I am suspecting it has something to do with dates being the wrong format (I am supplying them in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format). Is that the cause? And if so, how do I supply dates in correct format?

Hi! I have a complex SQL select query which I execute via %ResultSet. It also includes a UNION. The select statement within the union should only be done when an external parameter is set, and I'm not sure of way of doing that within SQL, other than something like

SELECT FOO FROM BAR

WHERE (some conditions)

UNION

SELECT FOO2 FROM BAR2

WHERE :doUnion = 1 AND (some conditions)

...this works, but I don't think it's particularly optimal as I believe it will still execute the second SELECT regardless of :doUnion. It's also sort of hard to read...

It might be there's a better way of doing this in SQL, but

I'm participating in the Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL with Joel Solon. The course is very nice and I will share with you some tips I got during the training. Tips presented in the day 4:

1. All data are stored in Globals and Global names start with ^. Example of global: ^animal. Global can have multiples locations to the data ("sub data"). Example: ^animal(1).
2. ^%* globals are accessible from any system-wide (from any namespace).
3. Globals enables IRIS to support multimodel data (object, relational, document, multidimensional, etc).
4. To see globals go the Management Portal >

Why when I use a SQL on the Cache, the condition between "the expression" and "the expression", not permite to me, delete the all ID of this data class?

Hi folks!

Sometimes when we develop a mockup or PoC there is a need for a simple interface that will provide data in IRIS in JSON against SQL queries.

And recently I contributed a simple module that does exactly that:

accepts SQL string and returns the JSON.

How to install? Just call:

zpm "install sql-rest"

If you install it in a namespace X it will setup a /sql endpoint to your system that will accept POST requests with SQL string and will return the result for you for the data available in the namespace X.

I have one block of code that not working as it was supposed to in in SQL. I am using it in a routine

&sql(update X_X.X  set LocalEnvironment=1 where %ConfigName IN('X_X_X', 'Y_Y_Y'))

using the above SQL query I am trying to set a property(LocalEnvironment) which is defined as boolean. But the query is not enabling the property. FYI- We have extended businessprocess class to create a new property.

1. You can see your class catalog using %Dictionary classes and see your sql objects into INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
2. Is possible use SQL inside your ObjectScript methods using Dynamic SQL or Embedded SQL.
3. You can pass parameters into Dynamic SQL string using ? (eg.: where country = ?) and pass parameters to Embedded SQL using colon (ed.: where country = :variable).

When using "IDENTITY" as my primary key, I can select the last inserted ID with 

SELECT LAST_IDENTITY() FROM %TSQL_sys.snf;

Actually this is how Hibernate + Iris' Driver acquires the inserted ID when mapping with

@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)

Now, considering that I am using the type "SERIAL" as my primary key instead, how can I get the last inserted ID?

Note that with "SERIAL" I can forcefully insert any value for this ID, from which Iris will continue generating values...

CREATE TABLE test (
    test_id serial NOT NULL,
    name varchar(100) NULL,
    CONSTRAINT pk_test

I have vendors asking for verification that messages for locations are coming through to them.  I can get generic ADT_A01 type of numbers in Activity.  I'd really like to get some good SQL queries that can give me a count of MSH.4s (for example) for a day for X Operation.  I'm not sure which table to look at for that information.

Hello,

I have established an ODBC connection with our client based on credentials they provided.    The test connection was successful and after using the Link Table wizard I can now see the client's tables and properties.    However when we try to execute a query in IRIS we are getting error code -226.   I'm trying to determine if this could be just a simple setting problem in IRIS or something with the client.   

We have tried with PostgreSQL as well as with TSQL.  Same result for each.

Has anyone seen this error before and could it be pointing me in a certain direction?

Hello all,

I have a Business Service which retrieves data via a SQL adapter and writes the data in text file. My production is doing the job, but instead of the Business Operation output being one file, I am getting many files, with 1 , 2 or 3 rows only. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thank you 

Image search like Google's is a nice feature that wonder me - as almost anything related to image processing.

A few months ago, InterSystems released a preview for Python Embedded. As Python has a lot of libs for deal with image processing, I decided to start my own attemptive to play with a sort of image search - a much more modest version in deed :-)

---

A tast of theory 🤓

In order to do an image search system, fist it's necessary select a set of features to be extracted from images - these features are also called descriptors.

Hello fellow community members,

Hi Developers!

Here're the technology bonuses for the InterSystems Multi-Model Contest that will give you extra points in the voting:

• InterSystems Globals (key-value)
• InterSystems SQL
• InterSystems Objects 
• Your data model
• ZPM Package deployment
• Docker container usage

See the details below.

In the Inbound SQL Adapter settings, is it possible to specify more than 1 field as the Key Field Name? 

Because of the way the Query is being index in Ensemble by the Key Field Name, sometimes transactions get missed and I would like to see if we can add an additional key to the mix to ensure all the transactions are picked up. In this case the InterfaceTrigger is an ID that is auto generated by the table, and I would like to use that as well to ensure we don't miss transactions, and it does not throw any warning messages when it executes the Delete Query.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I am trying the Export and Import application as per this link referred here: ExImData

I have the following sample class I am trying to import:

Class Persistent.PersonBackup Extends %Persistent
{Property Name As %String;Storage Default
{
<Data name="PersonBackupDefaultData">
<Value name="1">
<Value>%%CLASSNAME</Value>
</Value>
<Value name="2">
<Value>Name</Value>
</Value>
</Data>
<DataLocation>^Persistent.PersonBackupD</DataLocation>
<DefaultData>PersonBackupDefaultData</DefaultData>
<IdLocation>^Persistent.PersonBackupD</IdLocation>
<IndexLocation>^Persistent.PersonBackupI</IndexLocation>

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to know if the execution of the command $System.SQL.PurgeForTable went well/wrong?

The documentation describes that a string is returned, but in fact there is a nice Quit "" in the code.

Maybe inside PurgeForTable^%apiSQL there is any process variable set when it goes well/wrong?

Thank you very much!

Since I'm just starting to use this aspect of IRIS I can't tell if this is a bug or some kind of nuance.  If I run a single column query like this, I get results:

However if I try to retrieve using a DISTINCT or GROUP BY, I get no results:

And again except with a GROUP BY, with no results:

If I add in some other columns I still get no results HOWEVER, if I add in a date column, I now get results:

What am I missing here?  Is this by design and if so, what governs whether a return set is returned or not?  I did purge my query cache in case something was happening there but it did not fix this.

DataGrip is a multi-engine database environment targeting the specific needs of professional SQL developers, DataGrip makes working with databases an enjoyable and productive experience.

To work with InterSystems IRIS from DataGrip you'll need to add InterSystems JDBC driver first (once per DataGrip) and after that add all your InterSystems IRIS connections.

Part 1: Add InterSystems IRIS JDBC Driver

1. Go To File → DataSources

2. Go to + → Driver

3. Set Driver properties:

• Name: InterSystems IRIS
• Class: com.intersystems.jdbc.IRISDriver
• Add JDBC Driver file: path to /<IRIS>/dev/java/lib/JDK18/int

Given a complex method flagged with [ SqlProc ] so it is available as an SQL stored procedure, what's the best way to report a non-system error detected in that method - say, for example, an error %Status - so that the SQL query calling it fails descriptively? Is it best to create and throw an exception, or are there special % variables involved (like in a trigger)? I haven't been able to find an answer in the documentation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The question is about queries on the System->SQL page. I have a class with a few columns on a global and the test output looks as expected, below. This works as expected as well returning a single row: select * from Utils.RoutineAuditReport where counter=4. However, other columns give an odd error like " Field 'AG' not found in the applicable tables^ SELECT * FROM Utils . RoutineAuditReport WHERE UserR = "AG". As you can see below, both the UserR column and the AG entry in it do exist. What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Anna

I have an SQL text index defined like this

Index TextIndex On (Text) As %iFind.Index.Basic(IGNOREPUNCTUATION = 1, INDEXOPTION = 0, LANGUAGE = "en", LOWER = 1);

If I run a query like this:

SELECT
Text
FROM Post
WHERE %ID %FIND search_index("TextIndex",'ABC')

I get 20 results with posts containing the term ABC.

But each post can contain the term ABC several times.

Is there a way to get a total count of ABC term?

Is there a way to get a count of ABC term in each Post?

I am trying to create an ODBC class that includes all of these as records, but I don't see how I can since the first record has 3 subscripts, the rest have 4 subscripts:

Here is my current storage definition:

<ExtentSize>100000</ExtentSize>
<SequenceNumber>25</SequenceNumber>
<SQLMap name="Test">
<Data name="ModificationDate">
<RetrievalCode> set {ModificationDate}={L4}</RetrievalCode>
</Data>
<Data name="Operator">
<Delimiter>":","|"</Delimiter>
<Piece>36,2</Piece>
</Data>
<Data name="CreationDate">
<Delimiter>":",","</Delimiter>
<Piece>24,1</Piece>
</Data>

Hi folks!

Do we have an embedded REST API in IRIS which accepts arbitrary SQL and returns data in JSON?

Or if anyone did something like this?

The idea is to have something like MDX2JSON but SQL2JSON.

Thanks!
