RES: PGJDBC 8 transaction problem

From
"Rodrigo Willian Bonatto"
Date:
Hi Oliver and Dave,

I agree with you. I could use conn.commit(), but I have a particular
environment here and I'll try to explain.

My application use XML in my business tier to create and validate my
business rules.

My application use the connection provided by a data source Application
Server and I use my own XML tags, like <query/> to get some information
from database to be used in my business rules.

Some times I need to update some records and use these data in my
business rules and I need to this using my own XML tags.

In some cases I use BEGIN with COMMIT in the body of my own XML tag
<query/> to perform some updates and queries without java code.

Using BEGIN and COMMIT with PGJDBC 7.4 works perfectly but not with
version 8.x.

I could use another XML tag to perform update separately from another
SQL queries, but I would like to know if PGJDBC 8 supports BEGIN and
COMMIT in a single statement.


Regards,

Rodrigo

The more recent drivers implement support for returning multiple
resultsets from a query correctly, which older drivers didn't do. Your
Statement will actually have four results associated with it -- one for
each of BEGIN, UPDATE, COMMIT, SELECT. I would expect executeQuery() to
throw an exception because the query returned something other than a
single resultset.

You will need to use Statement.execute() / Statement.getMoreResults() /
Statement.getResultSet() to step to the 4th result and retrieve the
SELECT's results (you could also get at the UPDATE's update count in a
similar way).

Also, you should avoid explicit BEGIN/COMMIT statements if you can --
Connection.setAutocommit() / Connection.commit() is the recommended way
to manage transaction boundaries.

Rodrigo,

Then you will have to process all of the result sets that come back
from the query.

As Oliver said, each one of your queries will produce a result set.

BEGIN/COMMIT should work fine, they're just not the recommended way of
doing things. It sounds like you have your reasons for using them ..

As I said in my original reply, the problem lies in how you are
processing the results from a multistatement query:

>> You will need to use Statement.execute() / Statement.getMoreResults() /
>> Statement.getResultSet() to step to the 4th result and retrieve the

It's not really a problem with BEGIN/COMMIT at all, I would expect that
you'd see the same issue with just an "UPDATE ...;SELECT ..." query
