PostgreSQL: Autocommit through windows odbc driver doesnt work!!!

Hi All,

I am trying to certify our product with PostgreSQL database and facing an issue with windows odbc driver and need your help to identify the problem.

Our application uses SQLDriverConnect to connect to PostgreSQL server. I am using PostgreSQL odbc driver version 9.4

SQLSetConnectAttr to enable autocommit as below:

Eg: SQLSetConnectAttr(SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON, 0)

But it seems autocommit is not set and hence any queries executed from other session never gets updated data in other session since autocommit of insert statements never happens.

Only workaround I am seeing is to explicitly issue “commit” to save the updates in the database.

Has anyone seen this issue earlier? I see a relevant issue in psqlODBC 09.05.0100 Release something like below:

https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html

1. Don't reset autocommit when a connection is established

If autocommit is disabled on a connection, by calling SQLSetConnectAttr(SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_OFF, 0), before connecting with SQLDriverConnect(), autocommit was incorrectly reset back to on when the connection was established.

Is the above issue fixed? Also in my use-case, I want to enable autocommit at odbc driver level but even that doesn’t work.

The same application works in Linux OS when unix odbc driver is used. This seems to be specific to windows driver.

Please shed some light on this. Do ask me further question if you have any.

Thanks,

Sekhar

By default PostgreSQL "autocommits". If it isn't in your case, your
driver is starting a transaction and not committing it.

HI Joshua,

I perform the following set of operations to set autocommit in postgreSQL through ODBC in windows.
SQLSetConnectAttr(hDbc, SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, (SQLPOINTER) SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON,  0)

ret = SQLDriverConnect(_hdbc, NULL, (SQLCHAR*) dsn.GetChars(), SQL_NTS, NULL, 0, NULL, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);

This doesn't enable autocommit. If I call SQLSetConnectAttr after SQLDriverConnect, autocommit is set.
Any issue with this sequence? I assume It should be possible to set SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT before establishing connection.
Can you please confirm on this behavior?

Thanks,
Sekhar

I would say it is this bug:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/55BD0ABE.5010800@iki.fi

So have you tried the latest psqlodbc version, 09.05.0100 ?

Unfortunately I can't reproduce it.
Could you take the Mylog output of the case?

Hi Adrian,

Sorry for getting back to you late. I tried with psqlodbc version, 09.05.0100 but the issue is still seen?
Let me know what next step I can follow to root cause this? Any tracing you would suggest?

Given that this is the first of two problems you have only on Windows, I
would suspect your Windows setup. So:

How are you installing psqlodbc on Windows?

What version of Windows are you using?

What exactly is your application(the C++ I presume) doing?

Where is the application located, on Windows, on Linux, both?

Have you been able to solve this problem?

I tried the attached test program with psqlodbc-09.05.0100 on both Linux and Windows.  It worked as expected in both
casesof SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON and SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_OFF.  That is, I could see the inserted row from another (psql) session
afterthe test program had finished. 

Could you share the source code of your sample program that doesn't work?

BTW, just out of curiosity, what product are you trying to certify with PostgreSQL?  I'm interested in expanding the
PostgreSQLecosystem.

Sorry, the attached test program is the right one.

Try adding the following line in postgresql.conf and run your program:

    log_statement = 'all'

If SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_OFF is effective, these lines are output in the server log.  This shows that the ODBC driver sent
BEGINat the first SQL statement in a transaction, and the application explicitly committed the transaction with
SQLEndTran(SQL_COMMIT).

LOG:  statement: BEGIN;INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)
LOG:  statement: COMMIT

If SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON is effective, this line is output.  The ODBC driver doesn't send BEGIN.

LOG:  statement: INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)

Hi Takayuki,

Thanks for your in-depth information. It helped a lot. AutoCommit worked the right way as you indicated in your test code.

There was an application problem where-in explicit transaction was opened and before the updates got committed in postgres database, we hit an error (application error) due to which entire transaction got rolled back.

Your helpful suggestion of enabling logging to identify behavior of autocommit helped me catch the exact problem.

Appreciate your help on this. Sincere thanks to everyone who replied to my email with valuable guidance J.

Thanks,
Sekhar

If SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_OFF is effective, these lines are output in the server log. This shows that the ODBC driver sent BEGIN at the first SQL statement in a transaction, and the application explicitly committed the transaction with SQLEndTran(SQL_COMMIT).

LOG: statement: BEGIN;INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)

LOG: statement: COMMIT

If SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON is effective, this line is output. The ODBC driver doesn't send BEGIN.

LOG: statement: INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)

Hi Takayuki,

One thing I wanted to point out is that I didn’t see this issue in Linux OS. The application code is the same for both windows and Linux. In both the cases, we are in a transaction and an error occurred.

In linux, inserts are getting committed. In Windows, inserts are not getting committed. I will fix the application code to resolve the error. But just want to know the reason for different behavior.

When I enabled tracing in both, I see this difference:

Windows (After insert statements in tables):

2016-02-17 16:47:10 GMT ERROR: relation "dm_job_request_s" does not exist at character 24

2016-02-17 16:47:10 GMT STATEMENT: SELECT 1 AS total FROM dm_job_request_s S, dm_job_request_r R WHERE S.r_object_id = R.r_object_id AND arguments_keys = 'OldUserName' and arguments_values = $1 AND request_completed = 0 AND job_name = 'dm_UserRename'

2016-02-17 16:47:10 GMT LOG: statement: ROLLBACK

2016-02-17 16:47:10 GMT LOG: statement: BEGIN

Linux (After insert statements in tables):

< 2016-02-18 01:17:53.173 EST >ERROR: relation "dm_job_request_s" does not exist at character 24

< 2016-02-18 01:17:53.173 EST >STATEMENT: SELECT 1 AS total FROM dm_job_request_s S, dm_job_request_r R WHERE S.r_object_id = R.r_object_id AND arguments_keys = 'OldUserName' and arguments_values = $1 AND request_completed = 0 AND job_name = 'dm_UserRename'

< 2016-02-18 01:17:53.173 EST >LOG: statement: ROLLBACK to _EXEC_SVP_0x35fa4b0

< 2016-02-18 01:17:53.173 EST >LOG: statement: RELEASE _EXEC_SVP_0x35fa4b0

In linux, there is one extra call to release the savepoint which is not the case in windows.

Is this causing the behavior change in windows when compared to linux?

What is the expected behavior when “Release” savepoint is called?

Note: In linux, we are talking to linux PostgreSQL server. In Windows, We are talking to windows PostgreSQL server.

Thanks,
Sekhar

Hi Takayuki,

Thanks for your in-depth information. It helped a lot. AutoCommit worked the right way as you indicated in your test code.

Your helpful suggestion of enabling logging to identify behavior of autocommit helped me catch the exact problem.

Appreciate your help on this. Sincere thanks to everyone who replied to my email with valuable guidance J.

Thanks,
Sekhar

Sorry, the attached test program is the right one.

Try adding the following line in postgresql.conf and run your program:

log_statement = 'all'

LOG: statement: BEGIN;INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)

LOG: statement: COMMIT

If SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON is effective, this line is output. The ODBC driver doesn't send BEGIN.

LOG: statement: INSERT INTO a VALUES(100)

Hi,

It's not the difference between Windows and Linux.
There is an option *Level of rollback on errors* to specify either nop, transaction or statement.

Hello, Sekhar,

As Inoue-san mentioned, the difference of the behavior comes from the "Protocol" connection parameter setting. The parameter is described on the following page. Refer to "Level of rollback on errors". (The description is a bit obscure to me, as the parameter name is strange and the value format is not intuitive...)

https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/config.html

My guess about your setting is:

* On Linux, you don't specify Protocol parameter either in odbc.ini nor in the connection string. So, the default behavior of Sentence(2) is chosen. That is, the failed SELECT statement was only rolled back and other statements including INSERT were committed.

* On Windows, you created a data source with some Windows tool (ODBC Administrator, ODBCCONF.EXE, or PowerShell command). The tool created a data source with the Protocol parameter set to "7.4-1". "-1" means Transaction(1), causing the entire transaction to roll back. Check the "Protocol" value in the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\<data source name>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\<data source name>

You hit the nail on the head J

Thanks Takayuki and Hiroshi Inoue. The protocol parameter you mentioned is the cause for this issue.

In windows, it is set to “7.4-1” by default.

Appreciate all for the help throughout my investigation.

Thanks,

Sekhar
