[U2] Help diagnosing mysterious database hangs (UV 10.1.25, HP-UX 11.11)
We are experiencing periodic hangs (up to 5 minutes in duration) accessing the UV database. These hangs are manifesting when accessing the database through JDBC, sometimes when calling a stored procedure, sometimes when running queries directly through JDBC. The problem has appeared in two different, unrelated sub-systems (no common tables are accessed by both). Of course, we first suspected locking issues, but we have not been able to find any evidence that this is the case. In most cases, only one process seems to be accessing the table(s) in question at the time of the problem. Any ideas on how to go about diagnosing this? Or thoughts as to what might be the problem? It would be awfully nice to have a log of all of the queries being executed and how long they took, such as you can easily get from other databases, like mysql, or PostGresql. -- Geoffrey Mitchell Programmer/Analyst Home Decorator's Collection 314-684-1062 --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Green Software - Green Business
Ultimately, there's only one kind of green that companies care about (though for those of you outside the US, they print it in more than one color), and the other kind of green won't happen unless it facilitates making more of the first kind. Susan Joslyn wrote: Don Verhagen made the point that we do what comes naturally (conveniently) and sometimes that's green and sometimes it's not. For me, I admit, that's true. My green efforts have stemmed from what is convenient and less expensive, I admit it. I just think that it's lucky we are in an industry / business where being greener and doing what is better and cheaper all line up! My sister's company issued a green offer to the employees that it would pay for a bicycle for any employee that would ride it to work. So my sister jumped on it, got a great new bicycle and rides it to work every day and is the world's biggest enthusiast now. She's lost weight and says she feels 20 years younger. It's a huge triple win. I thought I might hear a few stories like my sister's company bicycle. I guess these kinds of initiatives are still rare, but expect they will become more common -- both for the marketing appeal of being able to claim greenness and because of the price of gas.

Re: [U2] [UV] [UB] Equating Two Arrays in UniBasic
Is R.New or R.SOD being declared as a dimensioned array somewhere?
If both are dynamic arrays, there should be no problem.
I get the error you describe if I try to assign a dimensioned array to a
dynamic array variable, such as:
0001: DIM X(100)
0002: Y=
0003: X=Y
The other way around produces a different error. So, it would seem to
me that R.SOD is dimensioned, except that when I add in the read, I get
FROM unexpected, Was expecting: '(' on the read in addition to the
Array must have subscripts error on the assignment.
Brutzman, Bill wrote:
It is not letting me do it.
When I try something like...
read R.SOD from F.SOH, Order.ID else R.SOD = ''
R.New = ''
R.New = R.SOD
The compiler says... Error... Array must have subscripts.
Unless there is no other way... I would rather not build a new array... via
a loop... inspecting one item at a time.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [U2] locking code question
Look into cvs or Subversion. I have not used either for UV Basic files, but either would work and both are opensource. As stated, it would require a little infrastructure and a paradigm shift in the way you work, but the benefits would probably be worth it. Israel, John R. wrote: Yes and no. Since basic program files are just Unix Dirs and the source code is just text, you could map these files via Samba so that Windows could see it cleanly and use it that way.

Re: [U2] Universe 10.1 Itype possible parsing problem
I would think that honoring a reasonable order of operations when parsing would resolve this. The extraction operator should certainly be higher priority than comparison. In fact, it works correctly in a BASIC program (UV 10.1.8). I compiled and ran the following: 0001: XX= 0002: XX1=5 0003: XX2=X 0004: IF XX1=5 THEN CRT YES ELSE CRT NO It returned YES as expected. If it suffered from the same affliction, it should have returned NO as (XX1) is not = 5. Therefore, it would seem that the parser for the I-Types is, as originally suggested, broken, or, more specifically, is not consistent with the BASIC compiler. I confess, however, that I have not verified the alleged I-type behavior on my system.

Re: [U2] Universe and triggers
I'm not sure in what version it was implemented, but you *can* have triggers on non-SQL files in Universe (and have been able to for some time now). Cataloging the subroutine so that it can be called as a trigger is somewhat weird, and not well documented, but if you search the list archives, you should be able to find what you need to know. We have been using this in production for a couple of years. Actually installing the trigger uses the same syntax as for an SQL table. I believe that this works on all hashed file types (i.e. anything but type 1 or 19 files). Geoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Marcos, Universe seems hellbent on invoking the entire SQL system in order to put a simple trigger on a file. UniData is MUCH more forgiving in that regard. With Universe, I have had a certain amount of success making what I call 'indexed subroutines' where by an index on a file calls a virtual Dictionary subroutine which does, in fact, operate as a rudimentary trigger. You CANNOT affect data going to the actual file record update as you might with an actual trigger, but you can write information to a tracking database and then I have a background phantom in operation which manages email distribution from the triggered events and what not. I *could* even write back to the originating file record that initiated the trigger -- I've closed off the mortal embrace between phantom and virtual subroutine -- but that will always have a lag time between the actual record update event and the final conclusion of the trigger, so I would not consider it a particularly clean solution for true database triggering.

I don't have any idea what you are trying to say. A database should be a black box. You put data in and pull data out. The less you have to know about the details of what goes on inside, the better. You can easily benchmark two black box systems that perform the same function (with unknown implementations), and the results are totally relevant as a comparison of those two systems.

Re: [U2] [UD] Best practices
To me, this is an issue of readability and maintainability. If I read 'IF VOID = THEN DEPOSITED ELSE *Voided*', I can make a reasonable guess at what it is trying to do, without knowing anyghing about the file structure. If you use numeric references to fields, you will probably have to do some research to figure out what the heck the dictionary is tring to accomplish. Do your fellow developers (not to mention future developers and even yourself in 2 years when you've forgotten what the heck this file was for to begin with) a favor, and use the D-type field references in your I-type dictionaries. A corollary to this would be, make sure you choose good names. Bill Haskett wrote: I've been converting dictionaries from a D3 dbms and am wondering what is considered best practices in virtual attribute design.

This doesn't work (at least on UV). The sample happens before the sort, not after. Otherwise, however, it's an ingenious idea. Incidentally, you could do the same thing (at least in UV) without creating a new dictionary, by using EVAL. i.e., SELECT MYFILE BY EVAL RND(@TIME) That way you don't need an extra bogus dictionary in every file you want to do this on.

Re: [U2] UV PERFORM 'SELECT filename ...' in I-Type {Unclassified}
Have you checked the output of the select when performed from inside the I-type? My guess is that it is generating a big ugly error, which is why you are getting no records back. From my experience, performing external selects from within an I-type is more than just a bad idea, it's illegal. The basic SELECT command works, as does the basic SELECTINDEX command. If you do either of these, you want to use a select variable so as to not interfere with any active select lists. You can also do SQL selects using the BCI, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. One gotcha to watch out for if you choose to do this: if you pass @ID as a parameter from your I-type to your subroutine, that parameter is now a reference to Universe's internal @ID variable which is updated every time a select is executed! This can cause some very puzzling results when your parameter value starts mysteriously changing on you! Sometimes I really wish UV had pass by value. I'm also not sure what impact this changing of the @ID might have on other dictionaries in the same list statement. It seems like it could be bad, unless there is some type of stack employed for nested selects, which could be the case, but I don't know. Anyway, this is what I've discovered through a little experimentation. Use at your own risk. :-) HENDERSON MIKE, MR wrote: Folks, We have had a puzzling situation where a particular subprogram works differently when run from a test-harness from TCL, to when it is run as an I-Type subroutine. The sub-routine concerned is about three layers deep in the execution sequence:- Test-Harness does CALL A(parameters), A does CALL PROBLEM(parameters) I-Type says SUBR(X,parameters), and X does CALL A(parameters), A does CALL PROBLEM(parameters) When you LIST file name I-Type name the I-Type returns 'wrong' answers The programmer concerned eventually worked out that the problem was that, from the I-Type, a PERFORM 'SELECT filename with-condition' ALWAYS returned no records, whereas the same select works correctly from the test harness. No, the were no select lists active at the time! The solution was to change the PERFORM 'SELECT filename with-condition' to a Basic SELECT filename and weed out the unwanted records in an internal loop. It may well be that it has always been this way, the I-Type is new. UV 10.0, INformation flavour, Windows 2K3 Ideas, anyone?

Re: [U2] UV Triggers
The correct syntax should be: CREATE.TRIGGER trigger_name [BEFORE | AFTER] UPDATE ON file_name FOR EACH ROW CALLING 'subroutine'; Note the semi-colon. All SQL commands end with one. Failure to include it will result in the SQL+ prompt that you got. The file does not have to be an SQL table, but it cannot be a type 1 or type 19 file (it must have a header to put SICA information in). Also, your trigger subroutine must be globally cataloged. See thread here: http://www.indexinfocus.com/dl/u2list/200207/35152.html Kevin King wrote: I am making my first foray into Universe triggers having knowledge only of how it works with Unidata and the Universe documentation, and am having a devil of a time. Is it a requirement that in Universe, the file must be created via SQL in order to put triggers on it? And then what of this CREATE TRIGGER syntax? The documentation says: CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name [BEFORE | AFTER] UPDATE ...but it doesn't nominate the file where the trigger is to be deployed. I found an example elsewhere that has a bit more syntax: CREATE.TRIGGER trigger_name [BEFORE | AFTER] UPDATE ON file_name FOR EACH ROW But entering that leaves me at a SQL+ prompt and when I cr it gives me a message that says You must create a schema before you may create SQL tables..

Re: [U2] Unique Ids
You can do it with a Universe SQL table (Make MV values unique, that is). In traditional UV tables, however, you are correct. The uniqueness in this case is a combination of the primary key and the MV position. I would also guess that the person in question was referring to multivalues since traditional MV tables (or Universe anyway) have no concept of a controlling attribute (or primary key) of an association. Craig Bennett wrote: David, I just came out of a meeting where it was stated that MV databases allow non-unique keys. perhaps the person was refering to multivalues? If you were modelling parents and children in an SQL database you might use a PARENTS table and a CHILDREN table. Usually neither table would allow duplicate keys. In MV you might have a PARENTS file which had a multivalued attribute CHILDREN. (I don't think) there is a way to make the database enforce a rule which makes all the children of a parent unique, except using triggers.

Re: [U2] Universe CREATE SCHEMA
List UV_USERS to find the initially configured administrator user. On our system it is uvsql. I'm not sure if that is a standard or something that we setup. At any rate, if you haven't done anything with SQL, there should only be one user in there, but you are looking for someone with DBAuth privelege. Once logged in as this user, you should be able to grant CONNECT to whoever. See the Universe SQL reference (under the GRANT command) for details on priveleges required for different operations.

Re: [U2] [UV] Transaction Compile Failure
The help for END TRANSACTION says: Use the END TRANSACTION statement to specify where processing is to continue after a transaction ends. This implies to me that there must be exactly one end transaction for each begin transaction. It also implies that if you do a rollback, execution will resume at your END TRANSACTION statement. It seems to me that this is a pretty lousy syntax, as it seems to support only one active transaction (otherwise, how do you know which one you are acting on?), and, in fact, more than one trasaction in the same program/subroutine could make things pretty confusing. Keep in mind that I haven't tested or tried to use any of this, but I would think you could replace your CONTINUE's with ROLLBACK's, and get rid of your IF @TRANSACTION block, and it should work. Perry Taylor wrote: Logically there *is* an END TRANSACTION at two places. One at the bottom of the loop.. COMMIT END TRANSACTION And the other at the top of the loop... IF @TRANSACTION THEN ROLLBACK END TRANSACTION END This being the case it would seem to me that the compiler cannot deal with a transaction not being in purely straight-line code. The only alternative I see at this point is to put an explicit ROLLBACK / END TRANSACTION at every point along the loop where I would need to bail out of the transaction.

Did you try passing dmask=0775 to smbmount? As I read the man page, that sounds like what you want, but I don't have a windows share handy to try it with. You may need fmask=0775 as well for the files to be writeable, as well as the directories. This is under RedHat 9. YMMV Probably a mask of 000 would be rejected as invalid since the file(s) would be totally useless, but I'm just guessing. A *nix file always has exactly one owner.

Re: [U2] [UV] CONVERT.SQL (UV files SQL tables)
Well, you don't HAVE to convert your files to SQL tables to access them via SQL. By default, you should be able to run any SQL statement against any UniVerse file. To restrict to select access for one or more tables, you can use the HS_FILE_ACCESS file. This is documented in the Using the IBM JDBC Driver for UniData and UniVerse manual, and maybe elsewhere It works for ODBC as well... If you WANT to convert your files to SQL tables, you should be able to grant privileges to PUBLIC, rather than individually granting privileges to each user.
