Re: [JDBC] Transaction size limit Data Truncation

2001-09-14 Thread Alexaki Sofia


Thanks for your reply.

As far as transaction is concerned, my question was if there is any limit
to the number of statements (select/insert/update) that can be
in one single transaction.
Is is possible postgresql buffer size influence transaction
limit?
I had a transaction with thousands of statements that I neeeded
to split it into a number smaller transaction in order to be able to
store it.

I am unsure what you mean by very long transaction.  A transaction is
defined by issueing a 'begin' statement, followed sometime later by a
'commit' or 'rollback'.  Therefore a long transcation would imply a long
period of time between the begin and the commit or rollback.  There is
no limit that I am aware of on the length in time for a transaction.

n your second questions, what sort of data truncation are you talking
about?  Could you provide an example?

Let's say that I have a field in a table having tha type VARCHAR(100)
And I store to this field a value having 200 characters. Only the
first 100 characters of the value will be stored.
I think that in this case according to JDBC, a Data Truncation warning
should be  reported.

 Hello,

 I use the PostgreSQL 7.0.2 JDBC Driver.

 I can see that very long transaction are not supported. Is there any

 My second querstion is about data truncation. As I can see postgresql
 JDBC driver doesn't report a DataTruncation warning when  a data
 value is truncated. Is there any other way to detect data truncation?

 Thanks in advance for your help.

Where or how did you see that?

What does that mean exactly? What went wrong with the original
long transaction?

Was it an executeBatch() with a lot of statements, or a lot of
individual statements? What version of the PostgreSQL driver and
backend are you running?

Our driver does not yet support DataTruncation warnings. That's
documented on http://lab.applinet.nl/postgresql-jdbc/

Alexaki,

I am unsure what you mean by very long transaction.  A transaction is 
defined by issueing a 'begin' statement, followed sometime later by a 
'commit' or 'rollback'.  Therefore a long transcation would imply a long 
period of time between the begin and the commit or rollback.  There is 
no limit that I am aware of on the length in time for a transaction.

My guess is that you mean by 'long transaction' is really 'long 
statement'.  In postgres versions prior to 7.0 the server had an 8k 
limit on statement/query length.  That was removed in 7.0, however the 
7.0 jdbc driver still had the limit.  I believe the 7.0.3 jdbc driver 
finally removed the 8K statement length limit and it is certainly 
removed in the 7.1 driver.

On your second questions, what sort of data truncation are you talking 
about?  Could you provide an example?

thanks,
--Barry
