SQL Adapter Issue

Does the SOA SQL Adapter support to return a collection of records when the Query contains multiple values for a single key ?
Can I provide a query like
Select EmployeeID, Salary from Employees where EmployeeID = 345 or EmployeeID = 4545 or EmployeeID = 7777
The SQL Adapter configuration wizard does not have a way to specify the query above.
In the last step of the wizard, I hard coded the above query but the SQL adapter is only returning a single record instead of 3 records.

Thanks for your response!
Let me describe my scenario in more detail.
The Client invoking the web-service will be passing information about various employees.
The XSLT will extract all the EmployeeID's from the Client Request and will build a string like
EmployeeID=1234 or EmployeeID=5678 or EmployeeID=9999.
Now a parameter called EID will be populated with the above string value.
In the SQL Adapter Wizard, I have the query Select EmployeeId, Ssn from Employees where EID. Note that EID is a parameter. I cannot declare 3 or 4 paramenters because the client can send hundreds of EmployeeID's. I don't know how many.
SOA suite runs this fine but only one row is returned.
So my question is For one column but multiple Selection criteria values for this column, Will SQL Adapter support returning a collection?

Hi,
Please try checking the user account or user group on which the send port runs (check host instance) has sufficient rights
on:
1. the database which contains the table,
2. the user defined table itself or the stored
procedure.
It should have connect permissions to the database and executing permissions.
And you can refer here

WCF-SQL adapter issue

Hi all,
I have ne issue with adapter when i am polling data from sqldb the dataset is creating in biztalk how can i add the elements in that,i am using this first time.
Regards,
Raman

What do you mean "add the elements"?
If you add a column to the SQL ResultSet, just add the corresponding Element to the Schema in the Schema Designer.
If the ResultSet changes significantly, you can just re-run the Wizard.
There is nothing special or remotely complicated about this.

WCF-SQL Adapter Hangs in Active State for hours

I'm at a new client, and doing a simple test with a content-based-routing solution picks up a file, maps it, and is supposed to update a SQL database. The WCF-SQL send port is stuck in the "active" state. No messages in EventLog. If there's
an issue, I don't know why it doesn't just suspend.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neal Walters

Hi Neal,
Few things to check IMO,
Check if the host instance is running properly
Check the version of the Host instance, If required make the host instance to 32 bit.
If it is using any schemas then make sure the binaries are deployed and gace'ed
Try to restart the BizTalk host instance to see if it makes a difference
Check if your SQL Database Instance is UP and running , Make sure the BizTalk service Account has proper rights on the SQL server and has execute permission on the SQL Stored procedure (if using one)
Check if you have anything on the SQL server event viewer.
Try to complete you routing of file using a send port also which will copy the input message to a temp folder location , Try Using Failed Message Routing to see
if it helps!
There is an article

WCF-SQL xmlpolling issue

I have an issue with the xml im getting back from biztalk using a wcf-sql adapter.
Im getting a strange blank namespace on a child element.
<ShippedPackages xmlns="http://Correct.Schema">
<Package xmlns="">
<SALESORG>4000</SALESORG>
<SOLDTO>5111632</SOLDTO>
<PICKUP>5314125</PICKUP>
<SOURCE>14</SOURCE>.....
Im getting this blank namespace in <package>
here are my settings for the receive location
the receive pipeline is 'XMLreceive'
XmlStoredProcedureRootNodeName - ShippedPackages
XmlStoredProcedureRootNodeNamespace - http://Correct.Schema
inbound operation type is xmlpolling
PolledDataAvailableStatement - SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM [Shopping].[dbo].[VW_DHLGMPartner_ShippedPackages]
Pollingstatement - SELECT * FROM [Shopping].[dbo].[VW_DHLGMPartner_ShippedPackages] AS Package
FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

Hi,
Please follow the blog ->
All about Legacy SQL Adapter and migrating it to WCF SQL Adapter
Snippet from the blog which says:
Issue
Records fetched by WCF Sql Adapter have blank XMLNS with every record unlike the legacy Sql Adapter where there are no such blank namespaces coming
along. This results in validation failure wherever the polled schema is being used as a SOURCE SCHEMA.
Resolution
Additionally following 2 changes need to be made:
Need to feed in the "PolledDataAvailableStatement" as it is a mandatory field before the polling operation could start.
Marked "UseAmbientTransactions" as false to eliminate the error.
For the blank namespace problems - the
ElementFormDefault property needs to be set to 'False'.

BTS 2010: SQL Adapter Class not registered

Hi,
after adding a host instance to the SQL Adapter, we receive every time a Class not registered error. The host instance is 32-bit and default for the SQL Adapter.
Any ideas or is anyone facing the same issue?
KR
Peter

I would suggest to refer the post below before repairing.
The
error threshold has been exceeded. The receive location is shutting down
Looks like a mismatch between 32 bit calls executing in 64 bit host, confirm that your host is indeed a 32 bit host.
Try to check below things
1) check the account have access in db
2) Check the BizTalk server build configuration, what is Platform target (Any CPU/ 32 Bit/ 64 bit) ?
3) Try for another 32 bit Host Instance which have both receive and send handler (like 32 bit BizTalkServerApplication default host instance)
4) check installed adapter pac bit version.

SQL Performance issue: Using user defined function with group by

Hi Everyone,
im new here and I really could need some help on a weird performance issue. I hope this is the right topic for SQL performance issues.
Well ok, i create a function for converting a date from timezone GMT to a specified timzeone.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION I3S_REP_1.fnc_user_rep_date_to_local (date_in IN date, tz_name_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN date
IS
tz_name VARCHAR2(100);
date_out date;
BEGIN
SELECT
to_date(to_char(cast(from_tz(cast( date_in AS TIMESTAMP),'GMT')AT
TIME ZONE (tz_name_in) AS DATE),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
INTO date_out
FROM dual;
RETURN date_out;
END fnc_user_rep_date_to_local;The following statement is just an example, the real statement is much more complex. So I select some date values from a table and aggregate a little.
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stampThis statement selects ~70000 rows and needs ~ 70ms
If i use the function it selects the same number of rows ;-) and takes ~ 4 sec ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin'),
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin')I understand that the DB has to execute the function for each row.
But if I execute the following statement, it takes only ~90ms ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_gmt(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin','ny21654'),
noi
from
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stamp
)The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!
Usually i would say, that I use the third statement and the world is in order. BUT I'm working on a BI project with a tool called Business Objects and it generates SQL, so my hands are bound and I can't make this tool to generate the SQL as a subselect.
My questions are:
Why is the second statement sooo much slower than the third?
and
Howcan I force the optimizer to do whatever he is doing to make the third statement so fast?
I would really appreciate some help on this really weird issue.
Thanks in advance,
Andi

Hi,
The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!Not exactly. Plans are the same - true. They uses slightly different approach to call function. See:
drop table t cascade constraints purge;
create table t as select mod(rownum,10) id, cast('x' as char(500)) pad from dual connect by level <= 10000;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 't');
create or replace function test_fnc(p_int number) return number is
begin
    return trunc(p_int);
end;
explain plan for select id from t group by id;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from t group by test_fnc(id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from (select id from t group by id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));Output:

Notice update or delete in Database via WCF SQL Adapter

Hi Folks,
i try to notice any changes in a database table via SQL Adapter: so i check for a special column wich contains '0' for new datasets and '1' for those i already copied via BizTalk.
This works fine as long as you only insert datasets, update or delete is not recocnized...
Whats the best or possible way to react on these actions too?
Thanks for your Ideas!

Hi,
I am shure there are many different approaches so here is what I have in mind:
In case you need to react to deleted rows in your original table you need a sub table to trigger your biztalk for datasets that do not exist any longer.
In this table you need 2 colums:
first one to correlate to your original data row (id),
second one to hold the status: For ex. 0= new, 1=update, 3=deleted
Then you need a
Trigger event on your original table that sets the status for the modified data id in your new table.
You can then poll on this sub table as you already mentioned in your question.

How do you configure a WCF-SQL adapter to write data from a SQL2012 "always on" database?

Hi All,
I have a BizTalk environment. I have to write the data from BizTalk to the database which is configured using ALWAYS ON availability group.
I use WCF-SQL adapter to write the data. My question is this setup a supported?

The answer is NO.
Refer: Can
I use a BizTalk WCF-SQL send adapter with a SQL 2012 Always on Database?
A snippet quoted below.
In summary (in order of preference):
Disable AlwaysOn Availability Groups / Mirroring on SQL server if you need to connect to this SQL server which has this enabled
Disable transactions and implement logic to be able to handle duplicates .
Disable transactions and handle the duplicates or lost messages with custom logic (e.g. Send twice and compare and implement error handling). You need to write your own DTC handling this which
is probably very complicated.
Disable transactions and live with risk of duplicates or lost messages without handling duplicates.
Refer: SQL Server AlwaysOn feature does not support MSDTC transactions.

How to track the sql commands issued against database

Hello, We are using an interface developed by oracle forms. Its giving some error while pressing an icon. I can not able to trace out from where it arises. This error is displayed by form developed by oracle forms. I dont have source code to track it. I would like to know , which SQL statement rises the error, so that I can update the oracle object and can able to solve the problem if I can able to find the exect SQL statment issued before the error was displayed. kindly help me . thanks.

Did I miss some thing? And you asked for a sql statement ? How did you come to know that its a sql statement that is causing the error? And if that's actually a sql statement error, isn't it associated with a meaningful message ?
Find the developer who coded the application, he would be the best person to track the error and tell you its resolution IMO.

Jdbc-odbc java error using SQL adapter in o9iASWireless

I've used the SQL adapter in the previous releases of wireless without any problem. Most of the time I would use it for all the wireless PLSQL applications in the Oracle database and it works very OK.
I have also used it to connect with a SQLserver database to try out some queries. In this case I would use the standard JDBC/ODBC bridge driver from SUN.
In release 2.0 I can't connect with this SQL Server database anymore.
I've added a system DSN to the ODBC configuration of the Windows 2000 server. This will give access to a internal SQL server database via TCP. A password username is required.
When I try to add a SQLservice in the service designer using the SQL adapter I will use the following parameters:
JDBC connect string: JDBC:ODBC:<DSNNAME>
JDBC driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
un: <username>
pw: password>
Query (without ';'): select count(*) from <tablename>
Minimum number of Database connections in the pool 5
Maximum number of Database connections in the pool 100
Increment size for the connection pool 1
Idle Timeout (in minutes) 30
Now I get the following error:
2/8/03 2:27:59 PM ERROR : [ApplicationServerThread] webtool.common.PtgErrorLog.outputError(PtgErrorLog.java:28)

I got the error 'java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcConnection' in my log and tried to find out the meaning of this error at java.sun.com. It's stil not clear what exactly causes the error but it looks like a data formatting error.
java.lang.ClassCastException
(Thrown to indicate that the code has attempted to cast an object to a subclass of which it is not an instance. For example, the following code generates a ClassCastException:
Object x = new Integer(0);
System.out.println((String)x); )
Is it just a data formatting problem or has it something to do with the JDBC/ODBC driver version of the JDK from the appliction server release 2.0.
I remember that I was always able to connect to the SQL server database with previous releases also with a count query. I've also used JDK 1.3.1 with o9iAS release 1.0.2.1.
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help.

PL/SQL speed issues when using a variable

I have a very strange issue that is causing problems.
I am running Golden connecting to a 11g database.
I created a procedure to insert records into a table based on a query. The source query includes variables that I have populated prior to the insert statement. The problem is that if I use the variable for one very specific where statement, the statement goes from running in less than 1 second, to running in 15 minutes. It gets even more strange though. Not only does a 2nd variable not cause any problems, the exact same variable in the same statement works fine.
This procedure takes 15 minutes to run.

    v_start_period date;
    v_end_period date;

    select add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1), trunc(sysdate,'mm')

end;The only difference between the two is where I replace the first v_end_period variable with trunc(sysdate,'mm').
I've been googling for possible solutions and keep running into something called "parameter sniffing". It appears to be a SQL Server issue though, as I cannot find solutions for Oracle. I tried nesting the insert statement inside it's own procedure with new variables populated by the old variables, but nothing changed.

You are not describing procedures. You are listing anonymous PL/SQL blocks.
As for the code - this approach to assigning PL/SQL variables are highly questionable. As the functions are native PL/SQL functions too, there is no need to parse and execute a SQL cursor, do context switching, in order to assign values to PL/SQL variables.
This is wrong:
select
    add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1), trunc(sysdate,'mm')
    into v_start_period, v_end_period
from dual;This is correct:
v_start_period := add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1);
v_end_period := trunc(sysdate,'mm');Just as you would not use +"select 1 into plVariable from dual;+", instead of a standard variable assignment statement like +"plVariable := 1;"+.
As for the performance/execution difference. Does not make sense. I suggest simplifying the code in order to isolate the problem. For example, take that in-line SQL (aliased as a in the main SQL) and create a testcase where it uses the function, versus a PL/SQL bind variable with the same data type and value as that returned by the function. Examine and compare the execution plans.
Increase complexity (if no error) and repeat. Until the error is isolated.
The 1st step in any troubleshooting, is IDENTIFYING the problem. Without knowing what the problem is, how can one fix it?

Video Adapter Issues?

I just went through a download of recommended Lenovo updates and now have problems starting up the computer. I get consistent blue screen telling me that I may have memory or video adapter issues. Is this a video adapter or is there another cause? I wasn't getting this prior to the update at the end of July...

What ThinkPad exactly are we discussing here?

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?
==============================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .csv format. Here is our data look like.
======================
Date1,date2,Political party,Name, ROLE
20-Jan-66,22-Nov-69,Democratic,"John ", MMM
22-Nov-70,20-Jan-71,Democratic,"John Jr.",MMM
20-Jan-68,9-Aug-70,Republican,"Rick Ford Sr.", MMM
9-Aug-72,20-Jan-75,Republican,Henry,MMM
------ ALL NULL -- record
20-Jan-80,20-Jan-89,Democratic,"Donald Smith",MMM
======================
Our Expernal table structures is as follows
CREATE TABLE P_LOAD
DATE1 VARCHAR2(10),
DATE2 VARCHAR2(10),
POL_PRTY VARCHAR2(30),
P_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
P_ROLE VARCHAR2(5)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY P_EXT_TAB_D
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED by NEWLINE
SKIP 1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LDRTRIM
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
DATE1 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
DATE2 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
POL_PRTY CHAR (30) Terminated by "," ,
P_NAME CHAR (30) Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ,
P_ROLE CHAR (5) Terminated by ","
LOCATION ('Input.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
It created successfully using SQL Developer
Here is the issue.
It is not loading the records, where fields are enclosed in '"' (Rec # 2,3,4,7)
It is loading all NULL value record (Rec # 6)
*** If we remove the '"' from input data, it loads all records including all NULL records
Log file has
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field P_NAME
KUP-04036: second enclosing delimiter not found
KUP-04101: record 2 rejected in file ....
Our questions
Why did "REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS" not working?
Why did Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' not working?
Any idea?
Thanks in helping.

I don't think this is a SQLDeveloper issue. You will get better answers in the Database - General or perhaps SQL and PL/SQL forums.
