Error while trying to run an andhoc insert query using voltQueueSQLExperimental - stored-procedures

I am getting an error while trying to execute a dynamic insert query in volt db using the voltQueueSQLExperimental() function. The SQL is fine as i ran it separately on the volt web studio. The error is as follows:
Error: VOLTDB ERROR: USER ABORT Attempted to queue DML adhoc sql
'insert into volt_temp_constraints
(asset_id,config_id,session_id,sam_id) values (12,13,'abc',12)' from
read only procedure at
procedures.testPrcUpdateConstraint.run(testPrcUpdateConstraint.java:155)
Please note that the SQL generated is dynamic and adhoc and this cannot be generated statically before hand.

Documentation is not their strength... ;), but I could reproduce your bug.
As I see it VoltDB marks compiled Procedures as read-writer or read-only. As one can infer from here. Unfortunately there currently does not seem to be any other way around it other than creating a INSERT/UPDTE/UPSERT SQLStatement as a Object Property and simply not using it.
Maybe you can contact one of the developers to add a some way on confutation for this.
By the way, the Exception can be found here: https://github.com/VoltDB/voltdb/blob/master/src/frontend/org/voltdb/ProcedureRunner.java in line 620

Execute informix content from file

I need to execute a script (Informix code) in a .sql file for migration purposes. The thing is, I want to load it from a function to be able to use the exception, therefore being able to do a rollback in case of an error.
So, this is the code (still experimenting):
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS "informix".SCRIPT_MIGRATION();
CREATE FUNCTION "informix".SCRIPT_MIGRATION()
RETURNS BOOLEAN as RESULT;
DEFINE lv_execute lvarchar(32739);
DEFINE li_errnum, li_eisam INT;
DEFINE lv_errtxt CHAR(200);
ON EXCEPTION SET li_errnum, li_eisam, lv_errtxt
ROLLBACK;
CALL regista_log('script_migration', get_session_user(), li_errnum, lv_errtxt);
RETURN 'f';
END EXCEPTION;
CALL set_isolation_level();
BEGIN;
LET lv_execute = 'LOAD FROM ''C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\ConstaWeb_Stuff\test.sql'' DELIMITER ''+'' INSERT INTO SCRIPT_MIGRATION_TEMP_TABLE;';
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS SCRIPT_MIGRATION_TEMP_TABLE;
CREATE TABLE SCRIPT_MIGRATION_TEMP_TABLE(
STRING_TO_EXECUTE LVARCHAR(31739)
);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_execute;
COMMIT;
RETURN 't';
END FUNCTION;
CALL SCRIPT_MIGRATION();
That's because we apparently can't execute the load command inside functions. So I'm trying to execute it. But I'm not getting it right, apparently...
The objective here is to execute the script (not a shell command script! it's an Informix script, like creates, loads, unloads, drops...) on a file. I'm open to other ways of doing this.
I'm relatively new to Informix so I'm sure there is still a lot I don't know about it.
As already noted, the LOAD command is not a command recognized by the Informix server. Client products emulate an SQL statement by recognizing the syntax and reading the file and executing appropriate SQL statements. Changing the way you (try to) execute it in a function executing in the server will not help.
Using a shell script instead may help.
If you're migrating an existing Informix database to a new location (machine, version of Informix), then using DB-export and DB-Import may be a good way to go.
The DB-Access command is the 'standard' way to execute scripts from a shell script. You'd need to ensure you set the DBACCNOIGN environment variable to 1. That will then stop if there's an error during the LOAD and rollback the transaction. There's also the DB-Load command, but it will be harder to rollback DDL statements since it does not handle those.
Alternatively, you might find my SQLCMD* program useful — though it too isn't perfect. However, unlike DB-Access, it allows you to control which statements can generate errors that are ignored and which are not (continue [on|off|push|pop]; before and after as appropriate).
With careful packaging, you can use it to create your migration, assuming the DB-Export and DB-Import won't do the job for you automatically.

FireDAC (FDQuery) - database with dot in it's name

I have got this problem with FireDAC -> FDQuery component when it tries to select data from a database with '.' (dot) in its name.
The database name is TEST_2.0 and the error on Opening the dataset says:
Could not find server 'TEST_2' in sys.servers [...]
I have tried {TEST_2.0} (curly brackets) and [TEST_2.0] (square brackets). Also setting QuotedIdentifiers (Format Opetions) property to True does not seem to fix the problem. In SQL query I can add 'SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;' but this breaks inserts to the dataset.
The FDConnection component can connect to that server and that database using MSSQL driver without problems. It seems it is the dataset that dosn't handle it. UniDAC seems to handle everything without any problems.
I am using RadStudio 10.2.
Has anyone found any solution to this? Thanks in advance for any replies
I got a response from Emarcadero and it works for me:
"The problem is not in FireDAC, but in SQL Server ODBC driver
SQLPrimaryKeys function. It fails to work with a catalog name
containing a dot. FireDAC uses this function to get primary key fields
for a result set, when fiMeta is included into FetchOptions.Items. So,
as a workaround / solution, please exclude fiMeta from
FetchOptions.Items."
What is wrong?
I was able to reproduce what you've described here. I've ended up on metainformation command, specifically the SQLPrimaryKeys ODBC function call. I have used SQL Server Native Client 11.0 driver connected to Microsoft SQL Server Express 12.0.2000.8, local database server instance.
When I tried to execute the following SQL command (with TEST_2.0 database created) through a TFDQuery component instance with default settings (linked connection object was left with empty database connection parameter) in Delphi Tokyo application:
SELECT * FROM [TEST_2.0].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
I got this exception raised when the SQLPrimaryKeys function was called with the CatalogName parameter set to TEST_2.0 (from within the metainformation statement method Execute):
[FireDAC][Phys][ODBC][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL
Server]Could not find server 'TEST_2' in sys.servers. Verify that the
correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored
procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.'.
My next attempt was naturally modifying that CatalogName parameter value to [TEST_2.0] whilst debugging, but even that failed with similar reason (just failed for the name [TEST_2), so for me it seems that the SQLPrimaryKeys ODBC function implementation with the driver I've used cannot properly handle dotted CatalogName parameter values (it seems to ignore everything after dot).
What can I do?
The only solution seems to be just fixing ODBC drivers. Workaround I would suggest is not using dots in database names (as discussed e.g. in this thread). Another might be preventing FireDAC from getting dataset object metadata (by excluding fiMeta option from the Items option set). That will bring you the responsability of supplying dataset object metadata by yourself (at this time only primary key definition).

Firebird in IBExpert throws errors while accessing some stored procedure

I am completely new to Firebird; I have been given a Firebird 2.5 database (by our client) - XYZ.fdb
I have registered this XYZ.fdb database in IB Expert.
I am able to run successfully some views and stored procedures. However for some other views or stored procedure, I get the following error:
can't format message 13:896 - message file C:Windows\firebird.msg not found;
invalid request BLR at offset 623; function LTRIM is not defined; module name or entrypoint could not be found; Error while parsing procedure XXXXXXX (stored_procedure name) ;
Error Message:
Access violation at address 00DCA0E5 in module 'IBExpert.exe'. Read of address 00000000.
It was working fine last week; I had tried to restart the system, and install Firebird and IB expert over and over again; I get the above error for a few stored procedures and views, but the other views and stored procedures are working fine.
Since I did not have this issue last week, and in between I reinstalled Firebird and IB Expert a couple of times, I think it has some configuration or registration issue.
Can you provide me a step by step approach to fix this issue - such that I can access all database objects in the Firebird DB using IB Expert ?
The resulting error might be created by an access violation from IBExpert, but the reason is definitely a missing UDF library, for example a .dll file called rfunc.dll or freeadhocudf.dll or whatever it is called.
To find the name of the missing .dll, check the UDFs used in the database by clicking on UDF folder in IBExpert database registration.

Creating a DTS package that uses a stored procedure

We're trying to make a DTS package where it'll launch a stored procedure and capture the contents in a flat file. This will have to run every night, and the new file should overwrite the existing file.
This wouldn't normally be a problem, as we just plug in the query and it runs, but this time everything was complicated enough that we chose to approach it with a stored procedure employing temporary tables. How can I go about using this in a DTS package? I tried going the normal route with the Wizard and then plugging in EXEC BlahBlah.dbo... It did not care for that:
The Statement could not be parsed. Additional information: Invalid object name '#DestinyDistHS'. (Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0)
Can anyone guide me in the right direction here?
Thanks.
Is it an option to simply populate a non-temp table in your SP, call it and select from the non temp table when exporting?
This is only an issue if you have multiple simultaneous calls to the stored procedure. In this case you can't save to a single table.
If you do have multiple simultaneous calls then you might be able to:
Create a temp table to hold results
Use INSERT INTO #TempTable EXEC YourProc
SELECT FROM #TempTable
You might need to do this in a more forgiving command line tool (like SQLCMD). It's not as fussy about metadata.

Calling StoredProcedure in Subsonic throws Error

I setup a simple select SP to return some rows use the templates to generate the StoredProcedures.cs file and then attempt to call the SP and get a Dataset back;
SubSonic.Schema.StoredProcedure sp = GetSPData(userID);
var data = sp.ExecuteDataSet().Tables[0];
The errror I receive is this:
The SelectCommand property has not been initialized before calling 'Fill'.
I am using Subsonic v3.0.0.3.
Am I missing something?
Not sure if answering my own question is bad mojo, but since I figured out the issue I figured I would share for potentially others benefit.
Seems there was a fix for executing stored procedures for Subsonic but it didn't make it into the 3.0.0.3 release. From the GitHub repository download a tarball, unzip, open in VS2008, rebuild (be sure you make a Release build) and use that Subonic.Core.Dll versus the one in the 3.0.0.3 release. This works and the Stored Procedure is successfully executed.
Woot!
