Article Jean Millette · Dec 9, 2023 3m read Working Around SOAP Service Timeouts Some of our applications provide SOAP services that use “DSTIME”-based SQL queries that return records that have recently been added or changed. Since the records don’t change often, these queries usually return a small number of records and therefore take little time. #InterSystems IRIS 5 1 0 473
Question Jean Millette · Apr 26, 2023 Issues with Publishing Power BI Reports with DirectQuery Connection to IRIS? Our team has had success creating and publishing Power BI reports using an ODBC connection to an IRIS database, but there have been concerns about the responsiveness of these reports. As an attempt to improve responsiveness, I'm trying out the "DirectQuery" connection using the InterSystems IRIS connector available in our version of Power BI Desktop (September 2021). The version of IRIS I'm connecting with is "IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2022.2" #Analytics #Visualization #InterSystems IRIS 0 3 0 1.5K

Article Jean Millette · Nov 5, 2021 2m read The Importance of ‘set Row = “”’ in Class Query “Fetch” Method One of our apps uses a class query to support a ZEN Report and works just fine in that report, producing the expected results every time. We’ve since migrated to InterSystems Reports and noticed that, for a report using the same class query, 100s of extra rows with the same column values appear at its bottom. #InterSystems Reports (Logi) #JDBC #ODBC #SQL #Tips & Tricks #InterSystems IRIS 3 0 1 315

Article Jean Millette · Aug 22, 2019 3m read A Case for Thawing Frozen Query Plans After Upgrade Our team is reworking an application to use REST services that use the same database as our current ZEN application. One of the new REST endpoints uses a query that ran very slowly when first implemented. After some analysis, we found that an index on one of the fields in the table greatly improved performance (a query that took 35 seconds was now taking a fraction of a second). #Indexing #Performance #SQL #Caché #InterSystems IRIS 3 4 0 451
Question Jean Millette · Apr 20, 2017 Eclipse SQL Client Plug-In for Caché? Atelier Users:Has anyone found an Eclipse plug-in that provides the capability to connect to a Caché server and give the user a way to write SQL queries using the tables from that server? I'm picturing something like a "WinSQL"-client built as an Eclipse plugin.I've found and tried the following, but I couldn't get it to connect to my local Caché instance.http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/ #Beginner #Terminal #SQL 2 4 0 869

Question Jean Millette · Jul 25, 2016 How to Connect to External Non-Caché DB With COS and Without DSN? We are creating a package (written in Caché Object Script) that will provide access to an external DB (MySQL). Because applications that use our package will be run from machines with various, potentially unexpected, operating systems, we’d like to establish a connection to the external DB without using DSNs (we’ve heard that setting up DSNs on certain non-Windows machines can be cumbersome and problematic). #JDBC #ODBC #ObjectScript #SQL #Caché 0 4 0 1.1K
