Re: [JDBC] Still having trouble getting JDBC working

2001-04-19 Thread Dave Cramer

Corey,

This looks like it should work.
The only thing I can think of is that you need to export the classpath so
that it is visible outside of the .cshrc file?

what to you get when you execute

echo $CLASSPATH

The only other possibility is that you are using a real old version of the
driver. At one time the driver was in a package postgresql.Driver

try looking at the contents of the postgres char

jar -tvf postgresql.jar should list the contents.

Other than that your code looks like it should execute

Dave

Subject: [JDBC] Still having trouble getting JDBC working


 Hi
   Can anyone help me with this problem?  I have jdk1.2.2 installed on
 a freeBSD system.  My class path in .cshrc is as follows:

 set CLASSPATH = (/usr/local/lib/postgresql.jar)

 I get this error:

 Exception caught.
 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver
 Exception caught.
 java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
 Ok

 When running the following code (I replaced all the connection stuff with
x's for privacy reasons):

 import java.io.*;
 import java.sql.*;
 import java.util.*;

 public class test{

   public static void main(String args[]){
 Connection  conn; // holds database connection
 Properties prop = new Properties();
 prop.put("jdbc.drivers", "org.postgresql.Driver");
 System.setProperties(prop);
 try {
   Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); // load database
interface
 } catch(Exception exc){
 System.err.println("Exception caught.\n" + exc);
   }
 try {
 conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://:5432/x",
"x", "xx");
 } catch(Exception exc){
 System.err.println("Exception caught.\n" + exc);
   }
 System.out.println("Ok");
 //conn.close();
   }   
  }

 Does the postgresql.jar file need any special permissions?  Right now I
have:

 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  153145 Apr 16 08:53
/usr/local/lib/postgresql.jar

 Any ideas?

 Thanks.

 Hi,
 I`m having huge troubles using postgresql JDBC.
 I do the following:
 while (orderlines.next())
 {
 PreparedStatement as_st=db.prepareStatement(SELECT nr,beschreibung,
 beschreibung_2,preis FROM artikel where nr=?);
 System.out.println(orderlines.getRow()+ : +orderlines.getString(2));
 }
 As result I get:
 1 : KKSC025
 2 : KKTO045
 which is totally okay cause the underlying table data is as follows:
  id |   nr| anzahl | eht 
 +-++-
  1226969416 | KKSC025 | 22 | BU1
  1226969416 | KKTO045 | 22 | KT
 
 So far so good.
 I know want to process the results of that orderlines query by adding:
 as_st.setString(1,orderlines.getString(2));
 as=as_st.executeQuery();
 as.close();
 to the above while loop.
 Output now looks like:
 1 : KKSC025
 2 : Nalo schmal 45/50 rauchbraun
 1) is still correct while 2) has the value of as_st/as now.
 I`m getting desperate on that.
 any help would be greatly appreciated.
 thanks, Rolf

 log shows that no changes have been commited to the
 org/postgresql/util/Serialize.java since 10/09/2000.
 Does this sound about right or did I do something
 wrong with the check out?

 I have made some changes to this code (from an
 earlier check out) to get it to work correctly.
 If others are interested in my changes, how would
 I submit them?

 If anyone else is using Serialize and has made
 improvements to the code, I would be interested
 in seeing them.

Hi Dave and the rest :)

I do many tests in the moment an I think I made a mistake (i'm not
sure). Perhaps, I misunderstand a error message. I tested the SELECT
query once more and the simple one works. (And much faster as with the
ODBC-JDBC-Bridge). But a SELECT query with a bit more complicated
structure, e.g. with and WHERE or ORDER do NOT work (not yet
implemented). I test this in the moment because I don't want to wast
your time once more (sorry for that if so) if I make a mistake.

If the normal driver do not work I will test the one from fastcrypt and
another one I found on blackdown...

If I can not resolve my problem I will contact you once more...

Thank you very much for your interest

 fine, but nothing is being inserted into the database.

The query trace shows that you are starting a transaction (with BEGIN)
and never committing it (no COMMIT or END).  So when you close the
connection, the transaction is rolled back, and its effects go away.

I suppose that having done conn.setAutoCommit(false), you need to add
a command to explicitly commit the transaction, but I don't know JDBC
well enough to know how you do that...

Hello,

I read in comp.lang.java.databases that help is needed with development
of the JDBC driver. Can someone please provide some pointers to what
needs to be done?

What are the open issues? Is it JDBC 2.0 compliance? PostgreSQL 7.1
support?

I've seen a lot of postings about BLOB problems, and JDBC-standard BLOB
support is on the overall todo list
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/todo.html). Is that still open for
development? Is there anyone who has already looked at JDBC-standard
BLOB support? If so, what are the challenges and complications?

I can't promise anything yet, but I'll certainly consider helping with
PostgreSQL/JDBC development. I'm fluent in Java and have developed a
database driver before (for Oracle in a proprietary product). I'm about
to spend quite a lot of time on developing a web application in Java on
top of PostgreSQL, so I certainly have an interest in good JDBC support.

If you're not a developer but a user of the driver, what are your
current complaints or wish list items?

hello.  i occasionally have problems getting large objects from
postgres.  i am confident that this problem is a problem with my code
and not postgres because i cannot find similar complaints and no one
responded to my question from earlier this month (appears later in this
email).

I have a screen that loads several LOs (small images, mostly).
Occasionally the process hangs on the rs.getBytes() line.  Does anyone
know what could be causing this?

Separately, I have written a simple program that queries the table with
the LOs.  No problems - unless I run it while my application is hanging
(then the simple program hangs indefinitely as well).  I am able to run
queries from the command line while this is going on, so it seems like
the byte stream is plugging things up, but everything else is fine.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?  Everything works
perfectly 90% of the time, but 90% isn't that good.  At this point, I'm
not even sure what to try.  Are there any Postgres configuration changes
I could make?  Would Postgres logging tell me anything.

I greatly appreciate your help.  note - i'm running 7.0.3 on

always load many LOs) and i frequently encounter two different problems.

1. fastpath - autocommit is always false...i've verified this several
times. my current workaround is to catch the fastpath error and resubmit
the query...usually works on the second pass and rarely makes it to 4
passes (the current limit i have set).  i have included a stack trace at
the bottom of this message.  does anyone have any ideas on this?  i'm
using 7.0.2 with the 7.0-1.2 jdbc driver.  the occurences seem totally
random...sometimes a page loads perfectly, sometimes i get three
fastpath errors...sometimes the first load gets FP erros, sometimes the
fifth page does.

2. hanging - i recently noticed that the processing sometimes (pretty
frequently) hangs on the line of code that grabs the LO from the
db...i've tried both:

byte[] bytes = rs.getBytes(columnName);
 and
InputStream is = rs.getBinaryStream(columnName);

Same result for both.  It hangs indefinitely.  Similar to the fastpath -
sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't...but it always happens
within 5 screen loads of my stress test page.

does anyone know if these problems were fixed in recent versions of
postgresql?  is anyone having similar problems?  i greatly appreciate
any help!

thanks
chris

The other reason for telling people who are experiencing problems with

already been fixed. 

However a certain degree of caution should probably be exercised here.

 I agree with Bruce.  I think we are in good shape for 7.2.  As long as
 there is an active developer community working on maintaining and 
 upgrading the code base there shouldn't be problems.
 
 Once we get the jdbc.postgresql.org website updated then there can be 
 an
 official place to post patches/updated drivers on a more frequent 
 schedule than the server patch releases if necessary.
 
 Although realistically the same level of control/caution should be 
 used
 in accepting patches into the current release as there is being used
for 
 the rest of the product (i.e. it needs to be a high priority bug and a

 low risk fix to risk destabilizing a production set of code).  Even in

 7.1 there were some jdbc fixes that made it into 7.1.2, and quite 
 frankly I haven't seen anything since 7.1.2 that I would have
considered 
 a candidate for patching into 7.1.3 based on the criteria I feel
should 
 be applied.  The 7.1.2 driver is IMHO high quality, and I use it in 
 production environments.
 
 
 Part of the problem I see is a too frequent habit of telling users on
 this list who are having problems simply to get the latest code from
the 
 truck.  We should instead be telling them to get the latest released 
 code ie. 7.1.2 or 7.1.3.

Agreed.  Part of the problem is that while 7.1.2 jdbc works well for
most uses, it has some gaping holes especially with system catalog
information, and there are so many that we just tell people to get the
CVS version.

Re: [JDBC] next() and PreparedStatement

2001-08-30 Thread Dave Cramer

Hi Mano,

No the problem is not with jdbc. 

I do see a couple of things though

1) the semi-colon isn't necessary, but shouldn't break the code? try
removing it.

2) returning the row that way looks a little dangerous. It is possible
that the statement associated with the row would be gone after
returning.

Re: [JDBC] Read transactions don't work on 7.0.x db's

2001-09-03 Thread Dave Cramer

From my POV there are two costs here:

1) The speed degradation by supporting multiple versions of postgres.

I tend not to be too concerned by speed, and more concerned with ease of
use. If speed really becomes an issue I can go into the code and remove
the offending inefficiency caused by supporting multiple versions.

2) The barrier to entry by new jdbc, and postgres users trying to use
postgres, and jdbc for the first time. If it doesn't work out of the
box, then they will leave.

I have a bias towards making it easier for people to use the software.
However given the speed of server development. How far back are we
going to support ? An argument can be made that since the software is
free then there really is no reason not to upgrade. The biggest reason
for me not to upgrade my server is reliability. What I have now works! I
am hesitant to upgrade the server on a server which needs to run 24/7.
That being said I am more likely to upgrade the jdbc driver, since:
1) it is really easy to back out the upgrade.
2) I have some ability to debug the jdbc driver and figure out what is
going wrong. My ability to debug the postgres server is significantly
less (approaching 0).

So along with making it easier for new people to get the code up and
running with a minimum of effort. I would like to take advantage of new
jdbc features on older servers.


My 2 cents worth

Dave

Re: [JDBC] Troubles using German Umlauts with JDBC

Alexander,

You have to set the encoding when you make the connection.

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(user,user);
props.put(password,password);
props.put(charSet,encoding);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,props);
where encoding is the proper encoding for your database

Chris,

I'm curious; why are you using a hashtable for available connections,
and how do you use it?

I have been using a connection pool that uses a linked list, in LIFO

I can donate the pool code if need be, it has been running for over a
year with no problems.

whether it's active?  that isn't ever really an issue with our approach,
unless i'm misunderstanding your question...this is an
oversimplification,
but: we have a connection pool that has a hashtable of available
connections...there is also a user-connection hashtable with users as
keys and connections as values.  if a user wants to hit the db, the
system first checks the user-connection hashtable.  if no conn is
associated with the user, it grabs a connection from available
connection hashtable and puts it in the user-connection hashtable.  the
user then uses that connection etc etc...when the transaction is closed
(by our system code) the connection is committed, removed from the the
user-connection hashtable, and returned to the available hashtable.
we don't use any threading, so there would never be two threads trying
to use the same connection.

should i be checking for anything else?

i have been able to successfully avoid the problem for the last 20
minutes or so...my connection pooling system calls commit() on
connections before returning them to the available pool (even if they
were already 'committed')...i added a conditional to check whether or
not it was already committed - if it was, i don't run the commit.  this
seems to prevent the transaction isolation level exception that always

I really don't understand why this is happening either.
my current guess is that there is something going on
in the way we are reusing connections.  To answer your
question I don't think there is any relationship between the
2 connections just that after the first one is corrupted
I use the second one until it gets corrupted, then
create new ones and start again.  I have to assume
that we are doing something wrong in our use of
these connections and am focusing my effort in that
direction right now.

Hi Rene,

I am wondering if the driver I am using is outdated (the functionality I
am looking for seems to be already implemented, since Aug 24).

In fact, I see what you saw about the cache, and looking into it a bit
deeper, the cache is effectively updated (at least, on CVS HEAD).

Could anyone tell me the date of the driver jars present on
http://jdbc.fastcrypt.com ?

If it's older than Aug 24, maybe the solution consists simply on
creating the new jar files.

Thank you very much.

Subject: [JDBC] why would an update only work if done twice?


I know this is a mistake I have made, and I am pretty sure it is a
mistake that has been occuring ever since I caught an SQL exception
(tried to insert value with already existing primary key). 

At a guess I'd say that the db didn't recover properly because I didn't
rollback when i caught that exception.

THE PROBLEM
When I do an insert/update on the db using my jdbc code it goes through
correcty and does NOT raise any errors. However an examination of the db
using psql reveals that the table hasn't been updated at all. This is
scary, as it seems I cannot guarantee that any data has ever been
committed (I DO CALL COMMIT).

Furthermore if while my tomcat instance is still running (I have the
struts pooled connection running on top of it) I try and modify that
table in the database from within psql it hangs. It will only complete
when tomcat is stopped (presumably meaning that tomcat is hanging
somewhere despite not throwing an exception or hanging itself).

The SCARY thing is that I can fix this problem, with this code :-


  conn = dataSource.getConnection();
  if (auform.getOldUserName().equals() | auform.getOldUserName()
== null) {
if (adminUser.getAdminAccountAccess()) {
  System.out.println(inserting admin user);
  auuBean.insertAdminUser(conn, saveAdminUser);
} else
  errors = true;
  } else {
System.out.println(updating admin user);
auuBean.updateAdminUser(conn, saveAdminUser,
auform.getOldUserName());
  }
  conn.commit();
  conn.close();

// CODE INSERTED TWICE
  conn = dataSource.getConnection();
  if (auform.getOldUserName().equals() | auform.getOldUserName()
== null) {
if (adminUser.getAdminAccountAccess()) {
  System.out.println(inserting admin user);
  auuBean.insertAdminUser(conn, saveAdminUser);
} else
  errors = true;
  } else {
System.out.println(updating admin user);
auuBean.updateAdminUser(conn, saveAdminUser,
auform.getOldUserName());
  }
  conn.commit();
  conn.close();
// END CONFUSION

  conn = null;
} catch (SQLException e) {
  while (e != null) {
System.out.println(First Error Message:  + e.getMessage());
e = e.getNextException();
  }
  if (conn != null) {
try {
  conn.rollback();
} catch (SQLException f) {
  System.out.println(heavy shit rolling back db transaction);
}
  }
  errors = true;
} finally {
  if (conn != null) {
try {
  conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
  System.out.println(heavy shit losing a db pool connection);
  errors = true;
}
conn = null;
  }
} 

A separate utility bean actually does the update or insert and throws
the exception for the action servlet to catch here.

My fix is the extra update/insert. For some reason this will update the
database whereas NOTHING else will. I have tried vacuuming, reindexing
and they don't seem to change anything.

I am running the latest version sid version of postgresql 7.1.3-4, and
connecting with a struts 1.0 pooled connection through tomcat. The code
above has worked before, but stopped working after it caught an SQL
exception (and before I put the rollback code in).

Can anyone suggest,
a) what the problem could be?
b) how i could fix it? 
c) how to make sure it never happens again?

Dave Cramer writes:

 The one issue I have with a non ant based build system is that it 
 makes it difficult to build the driver on a windows machine.

That is a valid concern that we're going to have to think about before
we move to another method.

 What problems does ant present?

* Ant needs to be installed.  Of course this is not that much of a
problem because you can simply install it.  However, in automated build
environments this might not be so easy, so people are just going to opt
to leave out the JDBC driver.

I'm sure we can use the Makefile to install the ant jar.

* Ant doesn't provide an exit status; you have to watch the build to see
if it works.  This is unacceptable.

Hmmm... I will look into this

* Ant is buggy.  We've had numerous reports of people having trouble
with it for no apparent reason.  I can also confirm from my own
experience that numerous things don't seem to work the way they should
work.

I find this a little hard to believe given the number of projects which
use ant as a primary build tool. jarkarta.apache.org for instance

* In numerous attempts I have failed to convince Ant to place the built
files in a tree different from the source tree.  This really makes it a
pain to build for multiple architectures (in Java, architecture =
different jdk).

I think this can be overcome. I have had no problems with this.

* Ant doesn't support gcj last I checked.  This is a real tragedy
because gcj is the only free(tm) Java compiler available that seems to
have a real future.  Ant doesn't support Kaffe very well, btw.

There are a number of free compilers, sun's is free, ibm's is free

* The Ant language is not nearly as powerful as the stuff you can do in
Makefiles.

No comment  I am Make challenged, but Ant is pretty comprehensive...

* Ant is, well, different.  I have personally spent a lot of effort to
make all parts of PostgreSQL build the same way.  Every new language has
to reinvent configuration and build management:  Perl MakeMaker -- total
junk, Python distutils -- no thanks, Tcl -- well, at least they had the
right idea.  Ant -- one more thing to go wrong.  Currently, everything
you want to switch and change about the build of PostgreSQL you
communicate to the configure script.  How do you change the Java
compiler?  Good question
-- not even the Ant manual can answer that because it depends on your
particular distribution.

Change the $JAVA_HOME environment variable AFAIK

The problem is that Ant is a completely new and different tool that we
have to deal with, but it doesn't actually solve a problem that hasn't
been solved already.

Well, this is a little philosophical, but my current focus is java, and
ant is the de-facto standard for building java programs, so I guess I'm
biased towards it.

One thing it does solve is the ability to resolve inter-dependancies
automatically. I have had builds which can only be built by ant, or by
building the entire source tree at once. This is one feature which is
usefull.

As for a solution. My opinion is that we should support both.

There seems to be enough interested parties to support both build tools.
For the folks that want a Makefile, they can support it. If someone
wants to support the build.xml file, then we should encourage it. I
suspect that one of them will become obsolete on it's own.

[JDBC] Logging in the driver

2001-10-25 Thread Dave Cramer


I am looking at trying to debug the driver for staroffice.

Unless someone can tell me otherwise, this requires logging. Currently
the driver has a rudimentary mechanism for logging

DriverManager.println()

This is ok, but it doesn't provide for various levels of debugging.

One possibility is to use something like log4j, but given the recent
distaste for adding binaries to the download I am reluctant to add a
library.

At this point I will probably add for my own purposes a simple logging
system that can be controlled by level.

A while ago someone posted a message which suggested that they had added
instrumentation to the driver. If this person is still on the list,
please contact me.

Re: [JDBC] DatabaseMetaData.getTables()

2001-10-28 Thread Dave Cramer

It appears the getBytes was previously being used to return a byte array
of any arbitrary column.

Fixes for blobs seem to have broken this. The question is as Jason
pointed out which do we fix.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to be able to return a byte array for any
arbitray column. On the other hand is this the intended use?

Subject: [JDBC] DatabaseMetaData.getTables()


Hi,

There seems to be a problem with DatabaseMetaData.getTables() when I do
the following:

ResultSet R=conn.getMetaData().getTables(null, null, %, null);

It throws a NullPointerException:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.postgresql.jdbc2.DatabaseMetaData.getTables(DatabaseMetaData.java:17
32)
at Test.main(Test.java:66)

Looking at the source, ResultSet.getBytes() is called and it returns
null, causing this exception to be thrown. However I can use
ResultSet.getString() without a problem. I'm using 7.1.3 at the moment.
Does ResultSet.getBytes() need to be fixed or should getTables() be
modified?

I'd be grateful for any insights. Or you can just tell me to use the
latest cvs version of PostgreSQL :) What is the consensus on supporting
older versions, will you phase out old code when 7.2 comes out?

This is what the documentation says:

public byte[] getBytes(int columnIndex)
throws SQLException   

  Retrieves the value of the designated column in the current
row
  of this ResultSet object as a byte array in the Java
  programming language. The bytes represent the raw values
  returned by the driver.

It seems to imply that it _should_ return a byte array for any arbitary
column. But as usual, it's up to us to decide. I think it's reasonable,
since we are working with byte arrays in the code anyway.

Dave,

I share your concerns about this functionality.  In fact last month I
wrote the following in response to a patch to this functionality.

I wouldn't mind this being pulled out of the main code line for now and
moved to contrib until it becomes more robust.

  Robert,
  
  
  Thanks for the patch.  While I didn't review it too closely, what I
  saw seemed fine.
  
  However, I have concerns about the feature as a whole, which really
  has nothing to do with your patch.
  
  I don't like the approach taken here for serialization.  It seems to
  me that this is a half baked attempt to reimplement native java
  serialization.  Why not just use java serialization to do what it
was
  intended for?  We could then store the results of the serialization
in
  a bytea column, or a LargeObject, or even in a separate table as is
  done here.  However, I am unsure of the desireabilty of creating
these
  additional tables.  The bigest reason I don't like the additional
  tables is that the serialized objects don't ever get deleted.
  
  To the extent that this is documented, I think the feature should be
  marked as experimental with a caution that it may be changed in
major
  non-backwardly compatible ways in the future.
  
  thanks,
  --Barry


There are two areas in the current code that I am uncomfortable with.
This serialize code and the code in org/postgresql/xa.  Have you looked
at the xa code?

 I suppose we could return it as a string when we are in doubt? Is

 returned as?

The backend will presently default to treating 'unknown' as type 'text'
if it hasn't got any better idea what to do, so I think it's reasonable
for JDBC to do likewise.

I believe the only case in which you could see 'unknown' reported as a
query result type is if a string literal is SELECTed without any
processing being done on it, viz

SELECT 'foo'

As soon as the literal is passed to a function or operator, sorted,
grouped, etc, the system will insist on resolving it to a non-unknown
type.  If the usage context doesn't provide any other hint, 'text' will
be the chosen type.

Hi there,

I'm using PostgreSQL ver 7.1 and I am having a bit of a problem with the
jdbc driver. I want to use some of the ResultSet methods, but I seem to
be having difficulity using some of them. I can't seem to do anything
against an updatable ResultSet, such as moveToInsertRow or updateString.
Here is a snipnet of my code

Statement SQLStatement =
Conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_
UPDATABLE);
String query = select * from cust_acct;;
ResultSet sr = SQLStatement.executeQuery(query); sr.moveToInsertRow();
sr.updateString(compname,props[4]);
sr.insertRow();
sr.close();
SQLStatement.close();

And this is the error I get

I don't like this patch.  If anything I think we should remove the 
dependency on ANT, not remove the dependency on make.

By requiring ANT, we provide yet another hurdle for someone wanting to 
use JDBC with postgres.  I would prefer that the build environment be 
the same for the database as for the jdbc code.

Anything that makes it more difficult to download the source and get 
going with it is a negative in my opinion.  And from my perspective 
requiring the download of an additional tool (ANT in this case) makes it

more difficult.

I already know that some binary distributions of postgres do not include

JDBC simply because it is too complex to get ANT installed in their 
build environment. (complex perhaps isn't the right word, but it is more

work than they are willing to put in for a small feature of postgres).
