Recently viewed a demo on the new Dynamic Objects in InterSystems (we are still running 2016.1); together with the upcoming IRIS data platform I started thinking about possibilities of building dynamic databases. That is, I can imagine some projects were it might be really nice to store dynamic objects and then run sql queries on them without ever defining the fields of the dynamic objects (i.e. not at storage, but only if you run your sql query). If there is any system where this might be possible it is InterSystems Cache.  Of course, Ithis might not be a good idea for an entirety of reasons,

I just wrote up a quick sample to help a colleague load data into IRIS from R using RJDBC, and figured it's worth sharing here for future reference.

Ultimately it was pretty simple, aside from IRIS not liking "." in column names; the workaround is to just rename the columns. Someone better at R than me could probably provide some generic approach. 

As we all know, Caché is a great database that accomplishes lots of tasks within itself. However, what do you do when you need to access an external database? One way is to use the Caché SQL Gateway via JDBC. In this article, my goal is to answer the following questions to help you familiarize yourself with the technology and debug some common problems.

Hi:

Are these all depreciated in 2022.1? Our tasks don't run as can't find it and using a search of the docs they are last recorded against 2021.1?

There isn't any line in release notes to note that these no longer exist. 

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to write a stored procedure or something to return a ResultSet with Embedded Python.

My goal is the following:

I have a Goal table with a Text field that is free text.

CREATETable Goal (
    Idint,
    TextVARCHAR(5000)
);

I would like to create a procedure that returns all the entities (in the iKnow sense) in a new Entity column.

Python code, i would like to use :

Trying to identify which records in the %SYS.Audit table are fails.

Eg, as user "WORKER", I run an attempted a grant, the terminal returns:

SQL> GRANT SELECT ON newschema.patients TO COORDINATOR
[S1000][Iris ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 112]
[libirisodbc35.so]
[SQLCODE: <-112>:<Access violation>]
[Location: <ServerLoop>]
[%msg: <User WORKER does not have required privileges to grant the privilege(s)>]
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLExecute
 

but the record in the audit table gives

Description: "SQL GRANT Statement"

EventData: "GRANT SELECT ON newschema.patients TO COORDINATOR"

Hi,

My routine contains embedded SQL including this:

&sql(DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR

The error "SQLCODE=-52 : Cursor C10 already declared" comes up on compilation in Studio. Does anyone know a way around it please?

On the Latest GlobalSummit 2022, InterSystems Introduced Cloud SQL. So, you may have lightweight InterSystems IRIS with access to SQL only. Well, what if you would still need some Interoperability features in the cloud as well? There are various solutions on the market nowadays, which offer a bunch of integration adapters out of the box and can be extended with support from the community. Some time ago, I've implemented an adapter for the Node-RED project, which can be deployed manually everywhere you want. Now I would like to introduce a new integration with my recent discovery, n8n.io

How can we insert into a table using a stored procedure? 

Table structure :

Procedure Name:

call Custom_MENS_Other.samplesp('2021-11-02','2021-11-04','H001')

Hello guys,

Does anyone know what is a process status IPQW ?

We get it in jobs that do some SQL..

Hi, 

I am trying to input an entire xml into a sql server table. I am doing this via an operation in Ensemble.

Hi!

I have a question regarding SQL insert/update from the mananger portal's SQL window.

I am trying to do an insert with a value that contains multiple spaces ($32) between two words. This is needed for a comparative reason. But the spaces are automatically trimmed away all the time. How should I write to keep these?

Example:

Insert into TableA
(MyColumn) Values('xxxx    yyyy')

then the spaces are trimmed away and it becomes: 'xxxx yyyy'

But I want to keep the spaces. How do I get around the problem?

Regards,
Michael

Hi ,

     When I use jdbc driver to query the column info ,the "REMARKS" field always show the same as the "COLUMN_NAME" field.

When I use the sql "select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns a where a.table_name='some table name ' " to query columns info,there has a "DESCRIPTION" field ,the value is some comment for the current field.

So is there anyway to return the description to the jdbc  remarks field? And is there anyway to update the desciption or remarks field? Or is there some other way that I don't know to manage column comment info?

Hi,

I encountered a strange issue I just can’t solve and I am running out of ideas. After reading the relevant passages of the documentation, asking the community is my last resort.

The task itself is not complicated at all. I am using an EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to connect to a MS SQL Server (12.0.6433.1) and execute a simple query. Said query is using a temporary table from which I just can’t select any data afterwards. All I get is this error message: <Ens>ErrNoSQLColumns.

I reduced the statement for debugging to this query:

DECLARE @result AS TABLE(

                CaseID varchar(50),

I running a query and get the results inside a result set. Now I have to iterate through the result set many times. From the doc I've seen only the Next() method. Is there a way to reset the cursor? Otherwise what is a good data structure to save multiple rows of a table?

My code in this case is something like this:

   set sql = "SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE X= '"_Y_"'"
   set status = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.rs, sql)
    // somehow iterate the rs more than one time

Hello, new user here ! My admin granted me all access to the domain I'm working on. Nonetheless, I'm unable to perform simple SQL queries such as creating a table or an index.

What I have tried :

Kindly help me on the below points

1)Concatenate the Date column and Time column.

2)Get the current date only without time.

3)Find the current age using DOB column.

Hi

I'm trying to add multiple rows at a time to a SQL table for a persistent object, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. When I try the below it doesn't work.

INSERT INTO Sample_Table.Accounts (Account, AccountName, Bank) 
VALUES 
('123456', 'AccountNameOne', 'BANK1'),
('654321', 'AccountNameTwo', 'BANK2')

Thanks

Hi, we are trying to run a dynamically generated Oracle Insert SQL script using Do $SYSTEM.SQL.DDLImport("Oracle",""," sql.txt",[Error Log]) to insert multiple rows into a Linked Table within HealthConnect to an Oracle database.

We have tried using statements that are accepted within Oracle but not when using Intersystems DLL along the lines of :

An interesting pattern around unique indices came up recently (in internal discussion re: isc.rest) and I'd like to highlight it for the community.

As a motivating use case: suppose you have a class representing a tree, where each node also has a name, and we want nodes to be unique by name and parent node. We want each root node to have a unique name too. A natural implementation would be:

I'm getting wrapped around the axle with CAST and CONVERT and can't seem to find a way to do this (short of adding a stored procedure wrapping $zdt($zdth(posix,-2),3), which I'm refusing to do on principle, because there has to be some way to make this work).

Any ideas?

I am calling a stored procedure over an ODBC connection and every time I call it there are several warnings written to the log event {Found no Parameter 1 (used as 1) for query}.I seem to be getting this on every query executed and that seems to happen a number of times the query parameters are per query and its filling up my disc.

1) Is there a way to suppress these warnings as the query seems to be executed and data written to the database?

Hi,

I'm trying to load some data into IRIS using LOAD DATA in the IRIS terminal however I am getting blocked by this error. I have read the documentation on this page trying to set up a gateway connection but get the same Connection cannot be established error.

This is what is in the %Java Server activity log

Say I have a persistent class in IRIS with an optional property EmailOptIn:

Class Person Extends %Persistent
{
Property Name As %String;
Property EmailOptIn As %Boolean;
}

I later realize that I'm doing a lot of null-checking on this property where I shouldn't need to. The solution is to make this a required property:

Class Person Extends %Persistent
{
Property Name As %String;
Property EmailOptIn As %Boolean [ Required ];
}

Hey Community,
I have an scenario, please advise or suggest possible ways to solve it.
So i have a persistent class to test results of a diagnostic laboratory. The properties are 

• Patient name
• Type of Test
• Order ID
