This can be done much easier, for example:

Include %occUtility

Class dc.test Extends %Persistent [ ClassType = persistent, ProcedureBlock, SqlTableName = demo ]
{

Property Foo As %String [ SqlFieldName = FooBar ];

Property Bar As %Boolean;

ClassMethod Test()
{
  
  ; d ##class(dc.test).Test()
  d ..%KillExtent()
  
  &sql(insert into dc.demo(FooBar,Bar)values('f1',0))
  &sql(insert into dc.demo(FooBar,Bar)values('f2',1))
  &sql(insert into dc.demo(FooBar,Bar)values('f3',null))
  
  s tablename=$$$comClassKeyGet(..%ClassName(1),$$$cCLASSsqlqualifiednameQ)
  
  s rs=##class(%ResultSet).%New("%DynamicQuery:SQL")
  d rs.Prepare("select * from "_tablename)
  d rs.Execute()
  while rs.Next() {
    w ! f i=1:1:rs.GetColumnCount() w rs.GetColumnHeader(i)," = ",$$quote(rs.GetData(i))," "
  }
  
  d rs.%Close()
}

}

Output:

USER>d ##class(dc.test).Test()
 
ID = 1 Bar = 0 FooBar = "f1"
ID = 2 Bar = 1 FooBar = "f2"
ID = 3 Bar = "" FooBar = "f3"

See $SYSTEM.SQL.SetServerInitCode() (there are differences for IRIS)

Simple example:

Class dc.test
{

ClassMethod Test()
{
  
  s programname=$zcvt(##class(%SYS.ProcessQuery).%OpenId($j).ClientExecutableName,"L")

  i programname="blablabla.exe" {

    ;useful work

    s $EC="ERROR"
    ;or
    s $ROLES="r1"
  }
}

}

USER>d $SYSTEM.SQL.SetServerInitCode("d ##class(dc.test).Test()")

Now, when connecting from a specific program via ODBC/JDBC to namespace "USER", an error will occur. You can configure something another.

See Parent-Child Relationships and Storage

Demonstration: 

  1. Class dc.child Extends %Persistent
{
Property name;
Property parent As dc.parent;
// Relationship parent As dc.parent [ Cardinality = parent, Inverse = child ];
}

Class dc.parent Extends %Persistent
{
Property name;
// Relationship child As dc.child [ Cardinality = children, Inverse = parent ];
ClassMethod Test()
{
  d ..%KillExtent()
  d ##class(child).%KillExtent()
  
  &sql(insert into dc.parent(name) values('parent1'))
  &sql(insert into dc.parent(name) values('parent2'))

  &sql(insert into dc.child(name,parent) values('child11',1))
  &sql(insert into dc.child(name,parent) values('child12',1))
  &sql(insert into dc.child(name,parent) values('child21',2))
  &sql(insert into dc.child(name,parent) values('child22',2))
  
  zw ^dc.parentD,^dc.childD
}
}
    USER>d ##class(dc.parent).Test()
^dc.parentD=2
^dc.parentD(1)=$lb("","parent1")
^dc.parentD(2)=$lb("","parent2")
^dc.childD=4
^dc.childD(1)=$lb("","child11",1)
^dc.childD(2)=$lb("","child12",1)
^dc.childD(3)=$lb("","child21",2)
^dc.childD(4)=$lb("","child22",2)
  2. Important: do not touch the existing Storages in both classes!!!
    Class dc.child Extends %Persistent
{
Property name;
//Property parent As dc.parent;
Relationship parent As dc.parent [ Cardinality = parent, Inverse = child ];
Storage Default
{
...
}
}

Class dc.parent Extends %Persistent
{
Property name;
Relationship child As dc.child [ Cardinality = children, Inverse = parent ];
ClassMethod Test()
{
 ...
}
Storage Default
{
...
}
}
    USER>d ##class(dc.parent).Test()
^dc.parentD=2
^dc.parentD(1)=$lb("","parent1")
^dc.parentD(2)=$lb("","parent2")
^dc.childD=4
^dc.childD(1,1)=$lb("","child11",1)
^dc.childD(1,2)=$lb("","child12",1)
^dc.childD(2,3)=$lb("","child21",2)
^dc.childD(2,4)=$lb("","child22",2)
  3. Important: now remove Storage from dc.child class and recompile both classes. Note that now the Storage of the dc.child class has changed.
    USER>d ##class(dc.parent).Test()
^dc.parentD=2
^dc.parentD(1)=$lb("","parent1")
^dc.parentD(1,"child",1)=$lb("","child11")
^dc.parentD(1,"child",2)=$lb("","child12")
^dc.parentD(2)=$lb("","parent2")
^dc.parentD(2,"child",3)=$lb("","child21")
^dc.parentD(2,"child",4)=$lb("","child22")
^dc.childD=4
^dc.childD(1,1)=$lb("","child11",1)
^dc.childD(1,2)=$lb("","child12",1)
^dc.childD(2,3)=$lb("","child21",2)
^dc.childD(2,4)=$lb("","child22",2)

    Now the data in ^dc.childD from the previous test/step is hanging in the air and cannot be accessed via SQL

Based on the above, the answer to your question will depend on what and how exactly you changed in your classes.

PS: for simplicity, I would advise you to create a clone of your dc.child class (without Relationship) and already take the "disappeared" data from it. After linking the tables (possibly with subsequent copying of data from the old Storage to the new one), the clone with the data can be deleted.

Now on evaluation.intersystems.com for Windows/MacOSX/Container allows to download the version of IRIS 2020.1CE, and for the rest - IRIS 2021.2CE.

What happened and when will the problem with downloading the latest version disappear once and for all?

It gives an incorrect result for some data, for example:

Detector("abbz", "abzz")
Detector("aaz", "azz")
Detector("azz", "aaz")

Without loops:

 

size = 82 (likely the code can be further reduced)

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean
{
 s a=$zu(28,a,6),b=$zu(28,b,6) q $l(a)=$l(b)&(a'=$tr(a,b,a_b))&(b'=$tr(b,a,b_a))
 ;or
 s a=$zu(28,a,6),b=$zu(28,b,6) q $l(a)=$l(b)&(a'=$tr(a,b,a_b))&(a'=$tr(a,a_b,b))

I follow a simple rule: first I change the data, and only then I put the constraints in the code. Not the other way around.

Excellent work.yes

You have come up with an additional optimization different from mine. Your code can be improved to 66.

 

size = 68

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean
{
 f i=65:1:91{q:$$r(a)'=$$r(b)} q i=91
r(x)q $l($$$UPPER(x),$c(i))
}
 

size = 67

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean
{
 f i=0:1:91{q:$$r(a)'=$$r(b)} q i=91
r(x)q $l($zu(28,x,6),$c(i))
}

$$$ALPHAUP(x) == $zu(28,x,6)

 

size = 66

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean
{
 f i=90:-1:0{q:$$r(a)'=$$r(b)} q 'i
r(x)q $l($zu(28,x,6),$c(i))
}

(And I think you may be waiting a long time for the Encoder game to close)
The author seems to have forgotten or this no longer relevant. I'm not interested in opening code when there are no alternatives and there is no competitive spirit.

size = 74

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean

 q $$r(a)=$$r(b)
r(x)f i=65:1:90{s $li(y,i)=$l($zcvt(x,"u"),$c(i))} q y

I'm not publishing the option with size = 73 yet, to wait, maybe someone will guess how to do it or offer an ever shorter option (by analogy with Code Golf - Encoder).

UPD: I managed to reduce size to 72.

Example

Class dc.golf.Anagram
{

ClassMethod Detector(
  a As %String,
  b As %String) As %Boolean
{
  f c="a","b"{
    s @c=$zstrip($zcvt(@c,"U"),"*W")
  }
  w $$$quote(a),":",$l(a)," - ",$$$quote(b),":",$l(b),!
  q $tr(a,b)=$tr(b,a)&($l(a)=$l(b))
}

}

Output (tested on IRIS 2021.2CE):

USER>w ##class(dc.golf.Anagram).Detector("apple", "pale")
 
<UNDEFINED>zDetector+2^dc.golf.Anagram.1 *a

If I change Undefined, then there is no error, but the result is incorrect:

USER>d $system.Process.Undefined(2)
 
USER>w ##class(dc.golf.Anagram).Detector("apple", "pale")
"apple":5 - "pale":4
0

The code works correctly if change the signature of the method (ProcedureBlock/PublicList/new), but this is a violation of the conditions of the task.

I already tried option 1 with Timeformat=1 for the avg and didn't work.
Have you changed the TimeFormat at the process or system level? If at the process level, then most likely you have changed this value in one process, and are executing the query in another. Therefore, there is no effect. If at the system level, then the query should work.

To avoid uncertainty, change the definition of the field 

Property PackingTimeSpent As %Time;

and execute in SMP for Display Mode 

select PackingTimeSpent from MSDS_Serenity.KitlabelAssoc

The hh:mm:ss format string should be displayed.

so eg. select %external(CAST(+avg(166.38) as TIME)) didn't work for me
Two remarks:
  • this will work as intended only if you have changed the TimeFormat=1 at the system level
  • avg(166.38) - it's pointless to write like that.
you mentioned the example above and I'm not sure to which one are youi refering to with so many replies, so can you point me to which one exactly
See Time-to-String Conversionlink

Try this (does not depend on the TimeFormat value of the current locale): 

select TO_CHAR(avg(PackingTimeSpent),'HH24:MI:SS') average from MSDS_Serenity.KitlabelAssoc where label='00007IT4'

PS: By the way, I noticed in your screenshots the differences in queries: somewhere you write 

where label='00007IT4'
somewhere you write 
where ID='00007IT4'

Is this how it should be? To avoid unnecessary questions, please do not change everytime the names of the fields in the queries. This is misleading.

If the data already exists, then this is a non-trivial task, especially if inheritance or Parent/Child is present, since this will lead to a change in the storage scheme of your data.

The easiest way to do this is through an intermediate (temporary) table:
  1. create a new class with the same structure, but with a new primary key;
  2. move data from the old class into it using SQL (not the merge command);
  3. delete data/indexes in the old class, then change the primary key in it;
  4. move data from the new class to the old class, using the merge command;
  5. delete the new class with the data;
  6. rebuild the indexes if there are any.

From doc:

AVG returns either NUMERIC data type values or DOUBLE data type values. If expression is data type DOUBLE, AVG returns DOUBLE; otherwise, it returns NUMERIC.

For non-DOUBLE expression values, AVG returns a double-precision floating point number.proof

The specification of the field [%Time(FORMAT=1)] plays absolutely no role in the case of an aggregate function, since AVG returns just a number (DOUBLE or NUMERIC).

Above I gave links to examples of how a number can be converted to TIME, then to STRING.

For example:

  1. if in the current locale TimeFormat = 1
    select %external(CAST(+166.38 as TIME))

    2. Important: it is necessary to convert a float number to an integer type, otherwise you will get zero.

  2. if in the current locale TimeFormat <> 1
    select TO_CHAR(166.38,'HH24:MI:SS')

It is very strange that the mechanism ^%SYS("CSP", "MimeFileClassify") does not work for you.

According to the sources of %CSP.StreamServer, it can be seen that all the work takes place in the FileClassify method, where ^%SYS("CSP", "MimeFileClassify") is also used.

I used ZEN on Caché and all was fine.

Can you give a simple CSP example to reproduce your situation?
