#SQL

Presenter: Anton Umnikov
Task: Run SQL queries quickly on huge amounts of data
Approach: Use a shared-nothing architecture to leverage a cluster of small, cost-effective servers
 

Explains how a shared nothing architecture allows you to leverage a cluster of small, costeffective servers to serve query results that would have taken much longer on a single, big and expensive box. This brings affordable horizontal scalability.

Task: Upgrade to a new version of Caché without concerns about slowing existing SQL queries
Approach: Use the new Frozen Plans feature in Caché

Stream datatypes are not displayed when you execute SQL (in SMP for example).

If I have defined a class query in one of my classes and I want to use that query from a method of another class, what are the pros and cons of using the %SQL.Statement interface versus the %Library.ResultSet interface?

I believe %SQL.Statement is the newer interface.

So if the old way is:

USER>s rs=##class(%Library.ResultSet).%New("%Library.File:FileSet")
 
USER>s sc=rs.Execute("c:\s\","*.txt")
 
USER>w sc
1
USER>while rs.%Next() {w !,rs.Data("Name")}

...

then the new way is:

Hello! 

I'm trying to run a simple SQL query in atelier but it complains about the manager.  I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but here is what I got so far:

What is the recommended approach to handle the following scenario: Large number of HL7 messages are serviced via Ensemble. Those messages are then transformed and routed to an Operation which calls a web service which does a number of different activities. If will do address normalization, location geo coding, MPI lookup and resolution, and insert into a SQL Server database to stage for an analytics product. Unfortunately all of this work takes time and the first thing that happens in the web service is a lock taken out on the Patien in SQL Server. Each call can take seconds where the message

In MSSQL I think you can do something like this:

select *
from HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository.COLUMNS
where TABLE_NAME='Aggregation'

How can I do this in Cache SQL?

[%msg: < Table 'HS_IHE_ATNA_REPOSITORY.COLUMNS' not found>]

I am pleased to announce the next 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.595.0.

It may look like a slow week, with less than fifty changes having been checked in, but this kit includes the following fixes to problems found by you, the ones running the kits in the field:

• ALE2845, which fixes the cachejdbc.jar version
• JN1637, which fixes an issue that blocked debugging Atelier when used in conjunction with Kerberos
• DLP3508, which fixes a JSON issue with $compose()

The rest of the fixes have been spread among different areas of the product, chief among them DOCUMENT Data Model, SQL and Atelier.

Caché Monitor is a database\sql tool primarily for InterSystems Caché but can also connect to MS SQL Server, MS Access and more databases. Within Caché Monitors Server Navigator you see all available Namespaces on your Caché Servers. No need to know the name of the Namespace, no need to configure many many JDBC Connections by hand. Just click on the namespace and see all objects like tables, views, classes and more...

Here is my original query:

SELECT EventType, InitiatedAt, COUNT(*) as cnt
FROM HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository.Aggregation
WHERE EventType = 'LOGIN'
AND LocalDateTime > '2016-02-16 11:00:00'
GROUP BY EventType, InitiatedAt

This gives me data like this:

However, I need to get the data back as two columns with all but the last concatenated and delimited, more like this:

I tried this:

Looking at a property defined as follows:

Property SystemTime As %Library.TimeStamp [ SqlComputeCode = {Set {*}=$ZDATETIME($NOW(),3,1,0)}, SqlComputed ];

The documentation talks about using SqlComputed and SqlComputeCode with SqlComputeOnChange (specifying which events will trigger computation), and about using them with the Calculated keyword (so it's always computed). I don't see any specific explanation of the case above, though, when neither SqlComputeOnChange nor Calculated is specified.

From a bit of testing, it seems that the behavior is:

Hi,

Do you know how to export SQL errors to a text file from a terminal session in Caché?

Thanks

What do you do if you want to have the ID field have a meaningful name for your application? 

Sometimes it comes to pass that when you're making a new table that you want to have the unique row identifier (a.k.a. IDKEY) to be a field that has a name that is meaningful for your data.  Moreover, sometimes you want to set this value directly.  Caché fully supports this functionality and it works   Suppose you have a class Test.Kyle.  The data will be stored like so:

^Test.Kyle(IDKEY)=$LB("",Field1,Field2,...,Fieldn)

Attached to this post is a PDF document outlining some of the key enhancements included with 2016.2. I will be giving a WebEx session that is open to all tomorrow at 11 AM EST. Once the WebEx is over I will be adding a link to the recording for those who cannot attend.

Hi!

Is there any simple way to query data about processed messages in all Ensemble productions?

What I ultimately would like to do is to periodically export that data to another system and run statistics on it.

I've been digging around in the SQL tables view and Ens.MessageHeader seems to contain most of what I'm after.

Using ODBC I could access that table view and query data, but only for one namespace per DSN it seems.

The object and relational data models of the Caché database support three types of indexes, which are standard, bitmap, and bitslice. In addition to these three native types, developers can declare their own custom types of indexes and use them in any classes since version 2013.1. For example, iFind text indexes use that mechanism.

I'd like to have an array as a parameter for a SQL 'WHERE... IN' statement. The array would be modified in javascript on the browser. Here's a simplified example:

<tablePane  width="25%" id="testTable" sql="SELECT Id from Tracking_Data.Person WHERE Id IN (?)" showQuery="true">
<parameter/>
</tablePane>
<button caption="Test" onclick="zenThis.composite.testTestTable();"/>

ClientMethod testTestTable() [ Language = javascript ]
{
  var table = zenThis.composite.getChildById("testTable");
  table.setProperty('parameters', 1, [1,2]);
}

New to CSP and Zen.  I've been going through tutorials and have made some progress.  Using the "Contacts" tutorial as an example, I'm trying to create a "ViewContact" page.  I want this to be linkable so I'm using URI Parameters, which I understand.  However, what I'm not sure about is how to retrieve a specific record.  Should I use a SQL statement?  If so, how?

Let's say I just wanted to display the property "Name" for the contact with ID 12.  What would be the best way to do so?

Introduction

Impedance mismatch is a term commonly used to describe the problem of an object-oriented (OO) application housing its data in legacy relational databases (RDBMS). C++ programmers have dealt with it for years, and it is now a familiar problem to Java and other OO programmers.

Introduction

With the maturation and wide acceptance of Java, object-oriented programming has moved to the foreground of the application development landscape. Because of their rich data models and support for productivity-enhancing concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, object technologies like Java, C++, and COM, are favored by today's application developers.

Customers who switch to Caché from relational databases report that their average performance is up to 20 time faster, running on the same hardware, with no changes to the application. What is it about Caché that lets applications run so fast?
