Re: [dba-dev] Where to find all open DB connections and closes them
Hi Fernand, When opening a DatasourceBrowser with the dispatcher using loadComponentFromURL(.component:DB/DataSourceBrowser, _beamer, 0, aProps) I have a connection opened with the database server. How can i find this opened connection and close it with the API ? I tried and found a activeConnection on the derivided rowset orowset.activeconnection.dispose or orowset.activeConnection.close does nothing the connection stays open on the server site, only closing OO closes this connection Since you say in your other mail that disabling connection pooling doesn't change the behavior, I can't think of any legitimate reason for keeping the connection open - so, it sounds like a bug. And yet more, there's no chance to iterate over opened connections, and forcefully close them (as this would ... irritate a lot of other components). Sorry to say. Interesting question would be whether this also happens with MySQL over JDBC, for instance. (One reason why this is interesting is because the JDBC driver has built-in logging capabilities, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Logging_JDBC_Activity.)

Hi Fernand, How and in witch format can i provide the ComponentData Argument when using LoadFromURL i try to set the filter to new value Looking into the code, it seems to me that the only parameter in the component data which is respected so far is the ActiveConnection.

Re: [dba-dev] UnoComponent: invoking from form control
Hi Peter, in Uno dialogs you can bind an event to a dialog control: either a macro or a method of a uno component. In form controls I'm missing the latter. Any hints? (hoping Frank is reading here yet) I can't remember ... that's so long ago ... :-P No, this doesn't work for form controls, they basically accept the script URL you attach to an event to the scripting framework. The feature of calling methods of an UNO component has, sadly, been implemented bypassing the scripting framework, so this doesn't work for form controls. However, it should be easy to embed a macro in the document which does nothing but instantiating a service and calling a method, shouldn't it?

Re: [dba-dev] ODBC from AS/400, results dependent on server version
Hi Terrence, I wonder if this behaviour is right. And if it is wrong, does anybody care, given the age of V5R2? V6R1 of the o/s has been in production for a couple of years, and V7R1 is anticipated shortly. In short, is this a candidate for a bug report? Normally I'd say every bug is worth a bug report ... In this concrete case, given the ... difficulty for the core development team to get their fingers on a AS/400 DB, the age of the DB system in question, and the suspicion that this is a problem of the ODBC driver (the OBJECT suggests that it returns some kind of binary data type for the columns in question), I'd say that in reality, the issue would just add to the pile ... :-\ Ciao Frank -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer frank.schoenh...@sun.com - - Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Impress http://graphics.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@dba.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@dba.openoffice.org
Re: [dba-dev] issue 94543, some progress and request for help
Hi Terrence,
Ocke would be better to answer (most of) your questions, since a) I'm no
active Base developer anymore :) and b) the ODBC driver is his domain.
But since he's on vacation currently, let me jump in.
(*) I am not satisfied with my analysis of the impact of the change.
For me to make any progress on this, I think I shall have to start
over with {OpenGrok, considering the confusion I got into in my
first attempt at analysis. Perhaps someone here just knows that
the change looks right or wrong? Of course, having found the bug
at two places, I have to fear that there is a third place which I
have not found.
Chances are good there's no third place. First, grok says fraction is
used nowhere else, and second, connectivity/source/drivers/odbc(base)
are the only two folders which are that close to the ODBC API that they
use this time.
(*) Contributing Patches
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Contributing_Patches
assumes a working copy from cvs. I lack that, so submitted a diff
of from the files that I have. Is this of any use?
Well, as long as a patch -p... -i patch_file succeedes, any patch
file is of use :)
Your current patch file doesn't allow for this, since the file names
therein are *.cxx_some_suffix, which means manual work (typing the
proper file names) when applying the patch. Possible, but annoying.
If you do not have a VCS, on top of which you do your patches, try
copying the source module which you intend to patch aside (say, cp -a
connectivity connectivity.org) and diff -ru the original to your
patched version.
Another problem with your patch is that it is not complete: There is no
DateTimeToTimestamp which takes a TIMESTAMP_STRUCT and delivers a
DateTime, only the other way 'round. So, what you probably want to do is
to introduce a TimestampToDateTime method in the OTools class, which
does the proper calculation.
(*) Along the way, a couple of things in the cod have raised my
eyebrows a little bit. Are they candidates for fixes?
- The last case the switch structure ending at
connectivity/source/drivers/odbcbase/OTools.cxx line 394 lacks
a break statement.
Worth fixing. Just pushed that fix to CWS dba33f.
- Line 248 of the same file assigns a literal constant to
_nColumnSize. I think it would be better to use
SQL_TIMESTAMP_LEN defined at unixODBC/inc/sql.h line 55.
Looks less than optimal. The same probably holds for the other two cases
above the one in question, right? However, I'd like to hear Ocke's
opinion on this before tampering with it.
Where did the multiplcation by 1000 come from? And is there some
context in which it is the right thing to do? Which leads to further
questions ...
Such specifications of ODBC that I have found on the net agree that
ODBC expresses fraction as a number of nanoseconds. But these
specifications all apply to ODBC 3 or 3.5 or 3.51. Did older version
of ODBC do it differently? Does some particular (incorrect) ODBC
driver do it differently? Does anybody care?
Is there a standard set of backends against which to test ODBC
functionality? Is there even a standard set of test of ODBC
functionality?
For the standard set of tests - I would delegate this to our QA folks.
In general, I assume there might be backends where the 1000 makes sense,
otherwise the issue would probably have popped up much earlier. So, to
be on the safest possible side, one would have to introduce a setting to
the driver which controls how the DateTime-TIMESTAMP_STRUCT conversion
is done (we have lots of such settings, to care for different backend
behaviors. Not nice at all, but necessary, often enough).
I *think* this might be overkill, assuming that date/time fields
continue to work after the patch, with some set of backends (the usual
MS suspects come to my mind, plus MySQL, and the like). However, I again
would like to hear Ocke's opinion on that.
Thanks Ciao
Frank

[dba-dev] resigning as Base project lead (and as Base team member)
Hello fellow Base users and developers, of the ~2000 mails I sent to d...@dba and us...@dba (wow! 20% of the mails were from me? My mail client must be lying to me ...), this is one of the more difficult ones. Effective immediately, I'll be resigning from the position of Base's project lead. Along with that, I will probably significantly reduce my contribution to those lists, and definitely to overall Base. Background: Some time ago, I've been asked whether I could imagine working, on a per-project basis, in another part of Sun's [1] OpenOffice.org team. To be precise, the talk was about Impress. Well, after some consideration, I said I could. But - I don't like the idea of doing things only half. If I were to go to the Impress team, I would want to be an Impress developer, not half an Impress and half a Base developer. Consequently, I decided to accept this offering, but only as full-time assignment. Hey, this was *the* chance to get rid of the responsibility for all the crimes I committed in Base! :) So, here I am: still with Sun/Oracle, still with OpenOffice.org, but not with Base anymore. Well, of course I'll continue to be available for consultation (though my bad memory is proverbial, at least for my wife, I'll probably remember a few things I did to the code). And the next show stopper fix in some code area of mine will probably also be done by /me. But I'll stop contributing significant changes to Base. I certainly see this change with mixed feelings. I started in the Base team more than 10 years ago, in my first job ever, immediately after university, still some time before StarDivision was bought by Sun, and StarOffice was open sourced as OpenOffice.org. Times were interesting and challenging, we did some things pretty well, and some things went ... not as good as I would have hoped. Still, Base is an important part of my (professional, at least) life. On the other hand, other challenges lie ahead. Impress is pretty new to me, there'll be a lot to learn. And who knows - perhaps I'll return to Base when the Impress team recognizes my inherent inability to understand the basics of their work - YMCA color models, or however those are called, and such ... I'm going to send another mail regarding my suggestion for a project lead successor (it won't surprise you too much). Also, I still owe some of you an Apfelstrudel - I hope we can still do that at some point in time :) See you around, the OpenOffice.org community isn't *that* big that I'll be completely out of your way ...

[dba-dev] Base project lead suggestion
Hi, if you're reading your mails in the order they were written by their authors, you know by know that I resigned from the Base Project Lead role. Which means we need to find somebody else ... It won't come as a big surprise to you that I suggest Ocke Jansen (usually merely known as Ocke, sometimes as oj - the only person I know whose IZ nick name is accepted by our SQL parser) as my successor in this role. Ocke surely knows his ways around in the Base project, he joined the Base team even 3 months earlier than I did, nearly 11 years ago. To me, he is the canonical choice.

Re: [dba-dev] Problem: OpenOffice Base and PostgreSQL stored procedures
Hi Marc, I can, however, set the query editor to native SQL mode, then the SQL code is passed as is to the database backend and no error is output. But with native SQL mode, I loose the possibility to have OpenOffice ask the user for parameters. I can only use calls without parameters. But most stored procedurs actually require paramates. Indeed, native queries do not allow for parameters. This is caused by the fact that for recognizing the parameters, Base would need to parse the statement, which contradicts the do-not-parse restricting imposed by the native flag. Some of the underlying APIs (JDBC, for instance) support retrieving parameter information from the database/driver, but that's not used in Base currently. Issue 66559 would probably fix this, at least for all JDBC based connections (the issue talks about HSQL only, but that wouldn't matter much). Another option - which I am not sure an issue exists for - would be to let the creator of the native query define which parameters to ask the user for - would be the responsibility of the creator then to ensure consistency. There is a second (and maybe unrelated) problem: OpenOffice Base seems for each query to send a generated query to the database server to check if that table in the query exists. It does something like SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename WHERE 0 = 1 This will of course never return any data, but it will raise an error if tablename does not exist, so I assume this is done to check for the presence of a table. But again, this does not work when a query instead of table specifies a stored procedure in a SELECT. For historic reasons, the WHERE 0 = 1 thing is done for retrieving column information, with a fallback to ask the meta data of the prepared statement. I suppose the latter didn't work properly formerly, for a certain set of database/drivers, so WHERE 0 = 1 had been invented (well, that's not really an invention of Base), since the meta data of a result set (which is forced to be empty) were more reliable than the meta data of the prepared statement. If you're saying this happens even for native queries, then please submit an issue for it - it should be done for non-native queries only, IMO.

Hi Drew, The request is to enhance the query parser components to recognize a command such as CALL somefunction( params ) - allowing escape processing for function parameters -- I don't know what the implications are regarding column names They need to be provided by the DB then, there's not much chance base could obtain them beforehand (as it does when parsing normal SELECT statements). -- Also don't know the cost of supporting this only for the data sources that can utilize it, adding another item/option overhead I suppose --- Question - do the different data sources (SDB, MySQL native, etc) supply code/configuration options to the query component runtime, or is that (the query component code) singular and within it accounts for the different data sources? The parser, and the query designer are pretty generic, they take into account a limited set of meta data provided by the database/driver itself, for instance the list of supported functions, the stuff listed in XDatabaseMetaData, and such. However, there's an awful lot of features which is not covered by meta data, and thus needs either an explicit option, or guesswork, or finally is supported in the parser/designer even if the underlying DB can't handle it. Also, call CUSTOMProcedure( p1...pn ) CUSTOMProcedure returnS a read only result set containing ONE row, columns named p0 to p(n-1) and call CUSTOMFunction( p1...pn ) CUSTOMFunction returns a read only result set with zero or more rows, columns named IN returned result set. Not sure it is feasible to distinguish those. I think recognizing CALL something( parameter_list ) would be sufficient. For the column information, one would have to rely on the DB/driver, anyway, and the number of rows is not of interest to the parser/query designer at all.

Re: [dba-dev] Recovery process
Hi Peter, seems the recovery process for base has some shortcomings yet. Neither a created report nor the basic code is restored after crashing and starting the recovery (WinXP and m6). A known issue? http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65597 Accidentally, I spent the last ... let me see ... two and a half weeks nearly exclusively to lay some very basic foundations to fix this. (Not in Base. In the framework of the other applications, which needs some heavy re-factoring, so the auto-recovery mechanism can be generalized, so Base can gain control over how emergency-save and crash-recovery are actually done.)

Re: [dba-dev] problem repaint formcontrols ..
Hi Cor, While working in m6, writer document with form controls. When editing some text, the form control becomes invisible. Which can be corrected by zooming / scrolling. Was the same in M5, maybe earlier? Known problem? Not that I know. Cannot reproduce out of the box, interesting questions include: design mode or alive mode or both? Control is anchored where? Does the typed text overlap with the control position? Does your page have a non-default background? Does it affect transparent or non-transparent controls only, or both? Do you use a OS/Desktop with desktop theming, or one without (such as WinXP classic)?

Re: [dba-dev] method setBinaryStream not working with Oracle BLOB using jdbc
Hi Peter, fine, so I consider this a bug in OpenOffice. Quite reasonable. Ocke just reworks the [B|C]LOB handling, it seems this code was never confronted with reality before. How to workaround? Sorry, don't have to offer anything here. BLOB is highly ... under-implemented currently :-\ If you're interested in, we could upload a CWS snapshot when Ocke finished his fixes, so you can test them in your real life scenario, and give us early feedback.

Re: [dba-dev] Opening a GridControl in a UNO Dialog
Hi Noel, This sounds a little familiar to something we discussed on this list in the past ( it wasn't exactly the same thing, but if you remember we talked about using form control models ( especially data aware ones ) with the toolkit controls in dialogs ) as such I darkly remember, now that you mention it ... Btw I use currently use the form control models with the toolkit controls ( and it seems to work well ) in ooo-build, the (self imposed) limitation is that this is only available 'transiently' when importing MSO 'Userform' controls. Not sure if any of the work I have done is that useful in this case but I'd happily attach it/upload [*] etc. somewhere should you want it or think it's useful. Sure, im always interested in seeing what you're doing to ¨my¨ form controls :) In anycase I am interested in upstreaming this code anyway but I was thinking about doing that in the context of a future vba support CWS. Any concrete time line for this? However, as I said at the moment it really isn't suitable to be used with Openoffice directly ( lack of ui/persistence support for one ) and I haven't had the time to concentrate on that part of it :-/ It sounds though that any work in this area would be relevant to ( and affect ) a 'proper' solution for what I would like to do, so I am very interested I think having a solution without UI and persistence is a great first step, I'd be willing to get this into MWS in such a shape (and add some test cases to ensure it doesn't break, and then officially declare it as feature). So, when you upstream this, I'd be more than happy to have a look at it.

Re: [dba-dev] Opening a GridControl in a UNO Dialog
Hi Fernand, For months i am looking for the best solutions to manipulating data in Dialogs instead of forms. Just this morning, sitting in the subway and having no newspaper to read :), I wondered whether it would make sense to implement the runtime code for all the database controls in dialogs. Adding a full-blown dedicated UI for creating database dialogs would be an additional effort, but perhaps it would be valueable having only the runtime, i.e. the ability to programmatically create and execute such dialogs. As a first step, at least. So i was missing a GridControl. Last week i Readed on Gulfoss that a new AWT UNO Dialog GridControl is coming, I discused with the makers why there is no dataloader available. They told me that this GridControl is a developer tool and we have to build our proper Loading stuff. I can do that but it wil be terible slow using loops over the resultset. Not olnly that, it won't scale. IIRC, the API for the new table control requires you to have all data in memory, something you usually won't do with a complete result set. Instead, there you usually only hold the data which is displayed (plus some cached data), and re-fetch everything else as needed.

Re: AW: AW: [dba-dev] internationalization of exception messages in a database driver extension
Hi Michael, I'm a bit confused. Actually our driver extension is written in Java, Ah - actually I don't know much (put carefully) about implementing UNO components in Java, so I hope that Ariel's idea solves your problem (I suppose it does, given Ariel's expertise :) ). So, assuming it does, some general remarks only: XSingleServiceFactory can be considered the legacy version of XSingleComponentFactory (and the same holds for the XMulti- versions). So, in general you should use the Component-version, and only fall back to the Service-thing if you interface with code which still needs it. In my understanding (and it's well possible that other major differences slip my attention), the most important advantage of the Component-API is that you have the XComponentContext, which can provide, well, context for your component, which reliefs implementations from accessing all kind of global shared data (which is a paint in the neck).

Re: [dba-dev] internationalization of exception messages in a database driver extension
Hi Michael, I'm looking for a possiblity to provide the user with custom exception messages in a database driver extension, according to the locale of his installation/system. The prefered solution from my side would be to provide the messages strtings in some sort of plain text ressource file(s) and fetch them from there in the driver. I know that css.resource.OfficeResourceBundle is working fine (we use it in our drivers, too), but its drawback is that it's based on .res files, compiled from .src files when building OOo. Since I assume that your driver is not built in an OOo build env, but with the ODK, this is probably no option. I also know that the dialog localization feature is based on text files, but I'm somewhat lost on the details. AFAIK, the css.resource services can be used to access such files, but that's an educated guess only. I suggest you play a little with the StringResourceWithLocation service. The documentation of those services/interfaces seems to be ... above average :), so http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/resource/StringResourceWithLocation.html might indeed help you.

Re: [dba-dev] connect to ldap fails with authentication
Hi Peter, in m58 and in former installations I cannot connect to a ldap datasource if a password is required. Without password the connect succeeds. Maybe it has something to do with the name of the user: CN=install,OU=Admins,OU=xxx DC=de I tried the user/pw authentication with Thunderbird Addressbook and LDAPExplorerTool2 without any problems. So the problem is on oo side? Probably yes :-\ You submitted an issue for this, but neither from the issue nor from this mail here I get whether it ever worked for you ...? That is, we upgraded the underlying code which provides LDAP access in m53 (IIRC), and if this is the version where it stopped working for you, than that's a regression in that code (SeaMonkey 1.1x, as opposed to stone-aged Mozilla 1.7.x), or in the way how we use it. Perhaps this issue is a good chance to get rid of the LDAP-via-Mozilla implementation, and write a dedicated LDAP driver, which directly uses OpenLDAP or some such ...

Re: [dba-dev] Resultset FetchDirections
Hello Fernand, The DEV guide told us to set the approriate FetchDirection in the Statement object. OK: but where can I find more information about this Fetch settings ? In theory: http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/sdbc/FetchDirection.html In practice: All of OOo's own driver implementaions completely ignore this setting, it's only applied if you bridge to an external driver (JDBC/ODBC/ADO). So, the respective chapter in the DevGuide (where did you read that) seems to be inspired by the theory, not the practice. Or is the FetchDirection automaticly set by the ResultsetType in the Statement object No. Ciao Frank -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer frank.schoenh...@sun.com - - Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Base http://dba.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@dba.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@dba.openoffice.org
