Support for Sybase Database

[hrabe]

fyi, start with sybase support following http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/How+to+add+support+for+new+databases guidlines. I'm in contact with Bernd Rücker to provide CI asap.

Who had the idea of a unique constraint on a nullable column? For each database there is a given workaround expect Sybase.

[frederikherema1]

Wich column are you reffering to?

[hrabe]

searching for workaround for h2 expression

alter table ACT_RU_EXECUTION
    add constraint ACT_UNIQ_RU_BUS_KEY
    unique(PROC_DEF_ID_, BUSINESS_KEY_);
   
alter table ACT_HI_PROCINST
    add constraint ACT_UNIQ_HI_BUS_KEY
    unique(PROC_DEF_ID_, BUSINESS_KEY_);

[hrabe]

Found a solution for Sybase 15:

create unique index ACT_UNIQ_RU_BUS_KEY on ACT_RU_EXECUTION
  (case when BUSINESS_KEY_ is null then ('pk-' + ID_) else ('bk-' + BUSINESS_KEY_) end, PROC_DEF_ID_);

But next problem raises on ant task 'create.db.schema' cause of the sql autocommit default which is false. Sybase can not create a functional index on a multi-statement transaction. The autocommit could be set over the specific db properties file which can lead to an undefined db state if one transaction cause an error.

The CycleDbSqlSessionFactory#dbSchemaCreate() must also be able to switch the autocommit mode.

Another option is to use mutiple sql files each executes in one transaction.

Feedback?

By the way: The same problem one of our customers experienced on Informix. The nullable but unique business key seems to get a problem on some databases…

The Autocommit-Mode sounds reasonable 🙂

To support these scripts is it necessary to add autocommit="true" at sql on target name="create.db.schema"

[transconnect]

Hi all,

I have ported activiti 5.5 to Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (>= Rel 9). But i'm not familar with Maven and though a have not followed the tips explained in the wiki. If subject of interest, I can post these scripts here.

But my problem was, that the Sybase JDBC driver jConnect does not Support JDBC-conform BLOB/CLOB access.
Though I have changed all mybatis mappings like that:


jdbcType=BLOB, typeHandler=org.apache.ibatis.type.ByteArrayTypeHandler

Another problem is, that the used alias name membership refers to a reserved word. Though I have changed this to membershp to solve the problem.

In the global mappings.xml I have added the type handlers

               <typeHandlers>
                  <typeHandler javaType="_byte[]" jdbcType="LONGVARBINARY" handler="org.apache.ibatis.type.ByteArrayTypeHandler"/>
                  <typeHandler javaType="string"  jdbcType="LONGVARCHAR"   handler="org.apache.ibatis.type.StringTypeHandler"/>
               </typeHandlers>

With best regards, Torsten

Patches for version 5.5 attached to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-726

@Torsten
- How you solve the constraint problem with nullable columns?
- How you find the problem with the reserved key word membership? All maven tests run successfully on sybase.

I used the sybase sql type image instead of blob/clob. So no changes to the mapping are necessary.

Hi hrabe,

How you solve the constraint problem with nullable columns?

No problem on ASA using
create index ACT_UNIQ_RU_BUS_KEY on ACT_RU_EXECUTION (PROC_DEF_ID_, BUSINESS_KEY_);create index ACT_UNIQ_HI_BUS_KEY on ACT_HI_PROCINST (PROC_DEF_ID_, BUSINESS_KEY_);

How you find the problem with the reserved key word membership? All maven tests run successfully on sybase.

After startup, some action (I think the deployment of BARs) failed with an error message pointing to a problem with reserved words.

I used the sybase sql type image instead of blob/clob. So no changes to the mapping are necessary.

I used also Image-Type in the database column in ASA. But the mybatis configuration uses Blob/Clob, the jConnect driver does not support. Dou You have used jConnect or jTDS? On ASA jTDS does not work, only jConnect.
