Instead of two separate fields, it would be easier to use the %TimeStamp (or %PosixTime) type, where the date and time are paired at once. For this type of data, you can make your own indexes for different parts and/or combinations of them: a separate date, a separate time, a separate year, a separate year and month, etc. You can also use these separate parts in the query (in SELECT and WHERE).

select datediff('yy',DOB,current_dateAge from yourtable

The very first message contains a link from where you can download the ODBC-2022.1.0.209.0 driver for different operating systems.

Vitaliy Serdtsev · Aug 3, 2022 go to post

What does the JDBC driver have to do with the question about the ODBC driver?

Unlike JDBC, the ODBC driver still yet needs to be registered in the OS (at least for Windows), which is what the installer does.

If this feature is not available in the Community Edition, then it makes no sense for me to try it. I just thought that in the preview version, all the features for testing are available. But thanks anyway for the quick response.

Let's say you need to write a classmethod that updates a single property.
Update where: in memory or on disk?

Using SQL, you cannot update the value of a field in memory, but only on disk. On the other hand, OpenId() reads data from disk and knows nothing about the changes on disk that occurred after its call.

To avoid confusion, I would look to the side Version Checking (Alternative to Concurrency Argument) or/and <propertyname>GetStored()

I decided to try Columnar Storage (IRIS CE):

Property As %String(STORAGEDEFAULT "columnar");

When compiling a class, I get the following error:

ERROR #15804: Columnar Storage (STORAGEDEFAULT=COLUMNAR) is not available with this license

I turn to the documentation to find out what's the matter:

parameter INDEXNULLMARKER;

Override this parameter value to specify what value should be used as a null marker when a property of the type is used in a subscript of an index map. The default null marker used is -1E14, if none is specfied for the datatype. However %Library.PosixTime and %Library.BigInt datatypes could have values that collate before -1E14, and this means null values would not sort before all non-NULL values.

For beauty, I would also use the value of this parameter, for example:

Class dc.test Extends %Persistent
{

Property idp As dc.test;

Property idpC As %Integer(INDEXNULLMARKER "$c(0)") [ CalculatedPrivateRequiredSqlComputeCode = {{*}=$s({idp}="":$c(0),1:{idp})}, SqlComputed ];

Property Name As %String Required ];

The new version of IRIS 2022.2 has a new feature Columnar Storage, about which the documentation says the following:

Choosing a storage layout is not an exact science. You might need to experiment with multiple layouts and run multiple query tests to find the optimal one.
Therefore, you are unlikely to find an exact answer to your question.

Usually, the more efficient the query is and there are "correct" indexes, the smaller the GREF and, accordingly, the shorter the execution time. But this is influenced by many factors, not just the above: see InterSystems SQL Optimization Guide

    }
    
    Class dc.parent Extends %Persistent

      &sql(insert into dc.child(name,parentvalues('child22',2))
      
      zw ^dc.parentD,^dc.childD
    }
    }

    ^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 ];

    ^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>##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.
