Well the approach is working already interfacing directly with ruby-oci8. I'm in more of a refactor all the things mode right now.
On of the biggest problems for me, is that my test db is an oracle instance over a slow VPN connecting to a underpowered / busy database in a lab god knows where. This gem/app is only ~700 lines of code and the test suite takes > 2 mins to run :( So I have a couple of different reasons for looking into Sequel. One of the biggies is that I'm hoping I can test against a local mysql db with the same schema 95% of the time, and then only test against oracle when I need to verify portability. So I guess I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a best practice as in, how would one of you guys write this code block? This is what I'm doing with ruby-oci8 directly - https://gist.github.com/5be872c941c6e6a0ad28 , the piece of code that calls this bulk insert, slices the array. So basically @all_the_things.slice(500) { |s| bulk_insert(s); these_failed(s) if things_go_boom } The biggest hang up, is that with all the other stupid things I have to deal with, is that I need to batch insert, but I also HAVE to know what records failed and store info on those. The later is what makes this a pain. For instance. If I bulk_insert(100,000) records and then commit. It behaves in a sorta nice way in that it will return an error, a row count of how many where successful inserted, and "discard" the unsuccessful ones. By discard, I mean it provides no information about what elements of the array/records failed. This alone should be enough, just throwing away anything records that failed. But nooooooo. The clients sending the data in are so fubar'd they consistently send duplicate data. So this not only causes issues with the transactional db, but when it data gets moved to the warehouse. So basically. I'm wondering if I could refactor out a ton of code and with Sequel in my tool belt. I'm looking at this right now - http://sequel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Sequel/Database.html#method-i-after_commit and after_rollback So given @stats = 50,000 "rows to be inserted" How can I accomplish / can this be done? DB[:stats].import(cols, @stats, :commit_every => 500) While at the same time: after_commit do |slice_of_500???| after_rollback do |something_else| On Saturday, January 5, 2013 9:59:23 PM UTC-6, Jeremy Evans wrote: > > On Friday, January 4, 2013 7:48:43 PM UTC-8, Brandt Lofton wrote: > > Alright, so I'm new to Sequel and I'm enjoying it quite a bit after > getting over having to make a connection before defining a model class. > > > > > > So here is the logic I need to use. > > > > > > Collect x rows of data, x = ~30k usually > > Loop through these records in batches of say, ~500 > > Model import(those 500 records)Import Fail?
