$system.SQL.SetIdentityInsert(1) is deprecated and replaced by $system..SQL.Util.SetOption(IdentityInsert ,1) 

from class docs:>>>
https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls?LIBRARY=%25SYS&CLASSNAME=%25SYSTEM.SQL.Util#METHOD_SetOption

IdentityInsert - Set the IDENTITY_INSERT option for this process. IDENTITY_INSERT
controls the ability of the user to specify a value for the IDENTITY property when
saving a new object, a value for the IDENTITY column, or an explicit ROWID value in an SQL INSERT.

Notes

  • Changing this configuration setting takes effect immediately and lasts for the duration of the process or until $SYSTEM.SQL.Util.SetOption("IsolationMode",pValue) is called again.
  • This is a per-process setting.

Sounds good to me

As I expected, it's one of the new storage features that cause the irritation

/// Use hashed global names
Parameter USEEXTENTSET = 1

from docu  https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20253/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GOBJ_storageglobals#GOBJ_storageglobals_hashed

When you set USEEXTENTSET to 1, each index is also assigned to a separate global, instead of using a single index global with different first subscripts. Again, this is done for increased performance.

Not explicitly mentioned - this also affects  IDKEY !

And the example presented shows in detail that 
IdLocation and DataLocation are NOT identical anymore, as it used to be for decades

You can get the required Global reference like this programmatically:

 ; get compiled class  with your classname
USER>set classname="oex.Dir"
USER>set dic=##class(%Dictionary.CompiledClass).%OpenId(classname)
 ; get relationship to CompiledStorage
USER>set stor=dic.Storages.GetAt(1)
 ; get name of the ID-Global
USER>Write stor.IdLocation
^oex.DirD
USER>

I'm surprised that   data is already imported via SQL but ^myclassD has no content.
So take a look into the related generated class:

Storage Default
{
<Data name="DirDefaultData">
<Value name="1">
<Value>%%CLASSNAME</Value>
- - - - - -
after all properties
</Data>
<DataLocation>^oex.DirD</DataLocation>
<DefaultData>DirDefaultData</DefaultData>
<ExtentSize>986</ExtentSize>
<IdLocation>^oex.DirD</IdLocation>
<IndexLocation>^oex.DirI</IndexLocation>

 <IdLocation> is the one to go for
with all the new Storage strategies (columnar, sharded, ...  )
This might be quite an exotic global name and rarely the traditional.

Happy New Year!
Here is a draft version of ZPretty.mac for ISIS
I'm not sure if this is worth to be public at all.

ZPretty ; make JSON readable
#; input= JSON string 
Do(input) public {
    if $e(input)="{" do ##class(%JSON.Formatter).%New().Format(input)
    else  write "<UNDEFINED>"
    quit ""
    }
tst  public ; 
    set jsn={"Name":"Li,Robert K.","SSN":"672-92-9664","DOB":"1975-01-12","Home":{"Street":"986 Washington Blvd","City":"Boston","State":"PA","Zip":"95802"},"Office":{"Street":"6012 First Place","City":"Reston","State":"MT","Zip":"77739"},"Spouse":{"Name":"Avery,Zelda H.","SSN":"323-13-7437","DOB":"1943-03-27","Home":{"Street":"196 Main Drive","City":"Youngstown","State":"WY","Zip":"53229"},"Office":{"Street":"4056 Franklin Court","City":"Bensonhurst","State":"IA","Zip":"27688"},"FavoriteColors":["Black"],"Age":77},"Age":45,"Title":"Associate Marketing Manager","Salary":10421}
    quit jsn

ZPretty is not in OEX anymore for various version conflicts
But in IPM you may find this workaround left over.

user>zpm "install pretty-json-upd"

For this and other incompatibilities introduced by version changes the
repo on GitHub is broken and not available until several fixes.
Workaround for the left over version is ZPM once again

USER>zpm "install objectscript-native-api"


Studio-2024.1.5.649.0-win.msi  is still available from WRC download for contracted customers
It works perfectly for me on  IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2025.1

My guess youw workaroud ERROR 2 cause ERROR 1

ERROR 2:
Your import of the code is just WRONG.   Wherever you may have it copied  it from

jsn(jsn) 
	if $e(jsn)="{" write $$Do^ZPretty(jsn)
	else  write "<UNDEFINED>"
	quit }

 jsn(jsn)  is a Label with a parameter

But if your COPY/ TEXT manipulator doesn't understand ObjectScript and 
inserts a BLANK before jsn(jsn)  ,  it's no longer a label anymore but just nonsens 
therefore :

ERROR: ONAPI.demo.cls(Menu+35) #1026: Invalid command : 'jsn(jsn)' :
Offset:7 [Menu+34^ONAPI.demo.1]

The compiler is right ! Your code is broken

ERROR 1:
now as the label jsn doesn'1 exist anymore, this MUST be an ERROR

 if pop do jsn(..iris.ClassMethodValue("ONAPI.Person","JSON",pop))

ERROR: ONAPI.demo.cls(Menu+9) #8: <NOLINE> [Menu+8^ONAPI.demo.1] 
TEXT:     if pop do jsn(..iris.ClassMethodValue("ONAPI.Person","JSON",pop))

The compiler is right again! Your code is broken. The label jsn() is destroyed

In Intersystems ObjectScript blanks and tabs are not just for illustration
or visualization but are an essential part of the language with some functionality.
Somehow like exact indenting in Python, just ~60 years longer

In my Studio such typing errors are flagged red immediately during typing.
So I wonder where the obviously broken source came from and how you worked on it

What you describe is a Basic Class Query. Slightly advanced to embedded SQL
BUT inside a Custom Class Query 
https://docs.intersystems.com/supplychain20251/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GOBJ_queries_userqueries

You have Exec, and Fetch methods. 
They can mask whatever you like as long as you feed the formal requirements.
Define the following class methods in the same class:

  • querynameExecute — This method must perform any one-time setup.
  • querynameFetch — This method must return a row of the result set; each subsequent call returns the next row.
  • querynameClose — This method must perform any cleanup operations.

Where queryname is the name of the query.

Each of these methods accepts an argument (qHandle), which is passed by reference. You can use this argument to pass information among these methods.

So you can mask your DELETE (implemented by embedded SQL) or any other way
It's not the standard way, but nothing prevents you as long as the formalism is served.

You may reduce the number of  XDBC connects by 50%
#1)
Create an SQL function for the update

CREATE FUNCTION done_func(integer,varchar) RETURNS integer
    AS 'update my_postgres_table set status=$2 where id=$1'
    LANGUAGE SQL
    IMMUTABLE
    RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
    RETURN 1 ;

#2)
run your SELECT, adding the function in your WHERE clause which is always TRUE
 

select * from my_postgres_table limit 10000 Where 1 = done_Func(id,'S')

You should check the exact syntax for PostgreSQL
I just composed it guided by
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createfunction.html

@Evgeny Shvarov  you  pointed me to the correct place
Did some checks using the most native approach.

 set sc=$system.OBJ.Import(file, . . . . .

Removing the Export Tag from the 2nd line in the 'hidden XML'  names DFI

<Export generator="IRIS" version="26" zv="IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2024.3 (Build 217U)" ts="2025-09-21 16:53:05">

ends with unknown flle type !!!

After re-insert of that Export Tag all import works perfect


​​​​​​might be necessary to teach VScode to add that tag
