the more I am working through this issue, the more I get convinced that it's a Derby issue. When the select statement is modified slightly (not using joining of tables on themselves, but rather using IN), then everything works without a hiccup:
SELECT P1.ID , R1.description P1.BOOK P1.NOMINAL P1.NOMINAL * R1.Factor FROM P_TABLE P1, R_TABLE R1 WHERE P1.IN_ID = R1.IN_ID AND R1.IN_ID in ( select R2.IN_ID from P_TABLE P2, R_TABLE R2 where P2.IN_ID = R2.IN_ID AND P2.NOMINAL <> 0 AND R2.IType='X' GROUP BY R2.IN_ID HAVING COUNT(*) >1 ) So, this leads me to believe that SELECT statements such as this causes a problem within Derby: select * from TABLE T1, ( select <field> from TABLE T2 ) as M where M.<field> = T1.<field> ----- Forwarded by Pavel Bortnovskiy/JEFCO on 01/20/2011 03:55 PM ----- From: Pavel Bortnovskiy/JEFCO To: Derby Discussion <derby-user@db.apache.org> Date: 01/20/2011 01:28 PM Subject: Can it be that Derby (in-memory) is deadlocking on this query? Hello: while running my application, I noticed that when the following query (which uses a subquery with tables joining on themselves) is executed, the application processes 185 records and then sits indefinitely in ResultSet.next() method: SELECT P1.ID , R1.description P1.BOOK P1.NOMINAL P1.NOMINAL * R1.Factor FROM P_TABLE P1, R_TABLE R1, ( select R2.IN_ID from P_TABLE P2, R_TABLE R2 where P2.IN_ID = R2.IN_ID AND P2.NOMINAL <> 0 AND R2.IType='X' GROUP BY R2.IN_ID HAVING COUNT(*) >1 ) as MULTI WHERE P1.IN_ID = R1.IN_ID AND MULTI.IN_ID = R1.IN_ID Then I tried running AquaDataStudio with this query and it's been over 16 minutes without any results back: However, when I run the subquery itself, it executes practically instanteneously: And if I replace the subquery with where R1.IN in ('P32764', 'P32765', ... [all results from subquery]), it executes in a few ms: I have a suspicion that Derby (which is running in in-memory only mode) is deadlocking. What can I do on my end (without exposing our data) to help you diagnose this. Please respond as soon as you can, since this is quite important and urgent. Thank you, Pavel.
