Dyre Tjeldvoll commented on DERBY-3192:
---------------------------------------
Ok, I just assumed that since the exception spec was part of the signature it
had to be identical.
I have added a supportsSessionDataCaching predicate to AppRequester as you
suggest (changed the wording slightly to match that used elsewhere).
I see that there is precedence for doing it this way, but I don't like it. As
long as getClientType() and greaterThanOrEqualTo() are accessible, the
interface is complete and minimal as it should be. Adding convenience methods
on top of that bloats the interface IMHO. (It also needlessly grants the
convenience methods access to the internals of AppRequester)
I tried moving the call to the CodePointTableName constructor into the
try-block as you suggest, but then I get a compilation error because the code
point string is referenced in the catch-block... I guess I could always make a
static final instance in DRDAConnThread, and have a static initializer which
assigns null unless it is a DEBUG build, or something. But then you introduce
the risk of dereferencing that pointer in non-debug mode...

> The reason for doing this is to avoid a rather
> substantial performance hit observed when the client driver is used
> together with an appserver that uses connection pooling. There are two
> problems:
> 1) The connection pool will compare the isolation level it has
> stored for the connection with the value returned from
> Connection.getTransactionIsolation() each and every time someone
> requests a new connection from the pool.
> 2) The users of the connection pool (ab)use it to avoid having to keep
> track of their current connection. So each time a query needs to be
> executed a call to the connection pool's getConnection() method is
> made. Getting a connection from the connection pool like this also
> means that a new PreparedStatement must be prepared each time.
> The net result is that each query results in the following sequence:
> getConnection()
> getTransactionIsolation() --> roundtrip + lookup in server's statement cache
> prepareStatment() --> roundtrip + lookup in server's statement cache
> executeQuery() --> roundtrip
> Arguably this is a "user error" but when suggesting this I'm kindly
> informed that this works "just fine" with other datbases (such as
> PostgreSQL and ORACLE).
> The reason why it works is that these databases do statement caching
> in the driver. I've tried to implement a very (too) simple statement
> cache in Derby's client driver and to re-enable caching of the
> isolation level (see
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1148). With these changes
> I observe a marked performance improvement when running with appserver
> load.
> A proper statment cache cannot be implemented without knowing what the
> current schema is. If the current schema has changed since the
> statement was prepared, it is no longer valid and must be evicted from
> the cache.
> The problem with caching both the isolation level and the current schema in
> the driver is that both can change on the server without the client
> detecting it (through SQL and XA and possibly stored procedures).
> I think this problem can be overcome if we piggy-back the information we
> would
> like to cache on messages going back to the client. This can be done by
> utilizing the EXCSQLSET DRDA command. According to the DRDA spec (v4, volume
> 3,
> page 359-360) it is possible to add one or more SQLSTT objects after SQLCARD
> in the reply,
> I think it would be possible to cache additional session information when
> this becomes relevant. It
> would also be possible to use EXCSQLSET to batch session state changes
> going from the client to the server.
