PostgreSQL version: 7.4.7
Operating system: Debian Linux (+ Win 2k)
Description: Strange behavoir of batches
Details:
Good greetings,
I had a strange behaiviour while I was working with the postgres, I have to
admit that I used it wrong in the first place but the 'trouble' was still
there, you don't have to fix this (cause it does not happen in 'common'
behaivour) but you should know.
some more information you might want to have:
Programming Language: Java (jdk 1.5.0_04)
postgres driver: pg74.216.jdbc3.jar
Postgres lives on Debian Linux, Server on Win 2k
I used Batches to write some Information into the db.
for I understood the ussage of addBatch false I called it everytime, but the
last one.
In my Program there were 3 blocks of inserting done in a row. 5 blocks of
insterting per call.
first block insterted 93 rows (in table A)
second instered 82 rows (in table B)
third 2 (in table C)
fourth 9 (in table D)
[whereas Tables B,C and D have a reference on Table A]
fith entered a reference to all 93 rows of (table A) in table (E).
in the fith block at row 82 the batch failed because It did not match the
foreign key constraint of table A TO table D
In the debugging process I changed the order of inserting and it worked
(means I inserted into A, C, D, B and then the 93 references in Table E).
this way it worked out, I got no trouble and everything was where it
belonged to.
(now I'm calling addBatch in every row and it works in every order)
If this was not understandable or you want to have some more information (or
some sample code) don't hestiate to mail me, but as I have lots of work It
may take a day or two till I anser.
Please notice that I may not give you the original code or database
structure cause my company does not develop this project open source.
(and please forgive my bad english)
Zo Phar
