hi jakob, The UPDATE statement in the 3. transaction will have no effect on the database, because after the DELETE statement no more objects with userid="id1" are available. The statements are generated because OJB sees the data in the cache and generates UPDATEs instead of INSERTs. This is quite dangerous, because you won't see any error and the data is NOT written in the db. I know, it is quite seldom (and surly not optimal) to delete an entry and then re-insert it, however this may happen :) Clearing the cache correctly after the DELETE statments, will cause OJB to generate INSERT statements.
There is a little mistake in my previous mail, the SELECT statment in the 2. transaction is generated only using my implementation of the PersistentBroker. :( danilo > hi danilo, > > imo loading all object to delete them from the cache is the only way, > because the cache does not know which objects will be deleted by the query. > > >>The UPDATE statements in the 3. block will have no effect on the > >> database, this is from my point of view a seldom >>but potentially > >> dangerous BUG!!! > > could you please be more specific about this one ? > > > jakob > > Danilo Tommasina wrote: > >Hello, > > > >I noticed an odd behaviour when using *broker.deleteByQuery*, this issue > > seems to be known (see developer mailist, msg 652 [VOTE] deleteByQuery > > leaves Cache in an inconsistent state), however no info is still > > available in the javadoc nor a solution seems to be available.
