Hi Edson,

congratulation for figure out this issue and thanks for detailed description and fixed procedure. I will add a link to your last post in sequence-manager documentation and update the procedure example for mssql.

regards,
Armin

Ok, this really solved. Final procedure code (works on SQL2K and SQL2K5):

<code>

CREATE PROCEDURE OJB_NEXTVAL_PROC
@SEQ_NAME varchar(150)
AS
declare @MAX_KEY BIGINT

set nocount off

set @MAX_KEY = 0

UPDATE OJB_NEXTVAL_SEQ
  SET @MAX_KEY = MAX_KEY = MAX_KEY + 1
WHERE SEQ_NAME = @SEQ_NAME

-- return an error if
-- sequence does not exist
-- so we will know if someone
-- truncates the table
if @MAX_KEY = 0
   RAISERROR ('Sequence %s does not exists!', 16, 1, @SEQ_NAME)
else
   select @MAX_KEY

RETURN @MAX_KEY


</code>

I changed from SELECT 1/0 because "Division by zero error" (what procedure is giving the error?!?) is not so intuitive as "Sequence SQ_PERSON_ID does not exists!" (huh, that sequence is missing!).

And don't forget to add to every trigger you write:

on begginning of the trigger:    SET NOCOUNT On
on finish of the trigger:             SET NOCOUNT Off

Put your database in full recovery model, so you have transactional behaviour control (on simple recovery model things works badly - I'm a MS certified SQL professional, but I don't understand why it's not working: it should be!).

And finally, put your app under

useAutoCommit="2"

(on jdbc-connection descriptor, this means "always set autoCommit(false) when open connection" - don't forget, your app became responsible to BeginTransactions and to CommitTransactions, otherwise they will be rolled back). This solved all my transactional problems when using PB API with SQL Server 2K + Service Pack 4 (SP4 is very important for this scenario - look bellow).

History of status for each service pack:

1) With SP2, transactional problems are sparse: from times to times, got deadlock in database due very large views (!) 2) With SP3, transactional problems came frequent. Almost every operational with large tables lead to deadlocks. Performance came terrible (even when there is no deadlock). This two new "features" from SP3 made app almost ununsable. 3) With SP4, transactional problems are sparse, but autonumeration stop to work. Then above statements where executed (corrections on procedure and triggers), and in "useAutoCommit" attribute, plus SQL Server in full recovery model solved.

Now, SQL Server is stable, running 3 medium sized databases (one for VB app, one for pure Servlets/JSP app, and one for a Swing/OJB app), each with about 1Gb of data.

Thanks to you all, I expect this report helps anyone trying to work with SQL Server + OJB + autonumbering + several simultaneous users + heavy transactional control under PB API.

Ok, guys. I think I discovered a piece of solution for this problem:

1) Database must be in Full recovery model
2) Every trigger must start with SET NOCOUNT ON and end with SET NOCOUNT OFF
3) The OBJ_NEXTVAL_PROC should start with SET NOCOUNT OFF

We are in testing fase right now, but appear the problem is solved.

Thanks for tips (special do Armin, who was unique to respond :( ). I'll let you know (during next week) if this really solved. If so, I'll ask to add this notes to documentation, to avoid hours of reserach to others in future.



Best regards,

Edson Richter
