You need to handle BatchUpdateException properly - how are you doing that currently?

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 00:07:48ID: 24776133


for(i=0;i< queries.lenght;i++)
                 stmt.addBatch(queries[i])

try
{
stmt.BatchExecute();
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 00:10:57ID: 24776141

Well, that's not really handling it at all ;-) You need to commit the ones that were successful. Something like

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 00:40:51ID: 24776198

From the code , it seems like it is either trying commit batch execute if all statements executed fine else rollback all ststements.

But i want to execute all statements in batch. Only thos that were not executed should be rolledbacked and inform me.

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:00:10ID: 24776243

>>Only thos that were not executed should be rolledbacked

You don't need to roll back queries that don't execute - only ones that do.

Does your driver/db continue to process after a BatchUpdateException?

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:09:25ID: 24776270

In any case, you should probably be calling commit in the exception handler to ensure that successful updates are in fact committed

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:10:15ID: 24776276

.. or you could do that in a finally block

i m waiting for transaction to complete. i will let u knw in a while

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:15:34ID: 24776289

hey it rolleback alll statements. there zero rows in db after completion

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:17:26ID: 24776294

See my last comment

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:24:28ID: 24776321

you need to disable auto commit otherwise they will all get rolled back.
And catch BatchUpdateException and handle your logging in there

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 02:17:22ID: 24776400

i did commit but now only 3800 records are getting commited. Earlier count was 7000. Total number of records to update are 99000.

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 02:27:58ID: 24776419

Sounds like your driver might not continue on exception. What query are you executing?

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 02:35:28ID: 24776433

insert into table(column1, column2, column3) values('val1','val2','val3')

all queries are insert queries

Let me brief about history.

I have to write a utility to migrate data from logs to database table. Values in logs are comma separated. I m reading them and creating list of queries.

and than i am trying to insert them in database using batch update.

but it seems some of the values from logs were not read well and therefore creating sytax error.
But expect those queries, i want to insert all othr in database.

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 02:37:17ID: 24776437

use the update count array to determine which are failing

you may be better off not doing the updates via jdbc btw, and instead generte a script and execute that

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-04 at 02:38:09ID: 24776440

You might attach a compressed copy of your log file - it could be useful

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 02:38:41ID: 24776442

> insert into table(column1, column2, column3) values('val1','val2','val3')

you're using a prepared statement to execute it aren't you, and placeholders for the values

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-04 at 11:19:02ID: 24777579

i m not using prepared statement.

also can you pls explain how to create and execute script instead of jdbc.

CRHJ,

Sorry,I cant attach log bcs these are prod logs. but i can give u sample format

> i m not using prepared statement.

you should be, at least for performance reasons.
are all the inserts going into same table?

> also can you pls explain how to create and execute script instead of jdbc.

output the inserts to a file, and execute it as an sql script

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-05 at 22:53:33ID: 24782867

Can you pls give me some demo code for script.

Also please provide some way to execute all queries from batch execution even if some fails.

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-05 at 22:58:33ID: 24782888

depends on the queries you are using

have you turned off auto commit as I suggested earlier?

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-06 at 00:37:19ID: 24783235

Yes i have switched off auto commit. Its not working for me.

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-06 at 00:43:58ID: 24783261

What are you doing now: executing a file import or doing a PreparedStatement insert?

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-06 at 22:58:53ID: 24791755

i am doing statement insert. I could not understand file import. Can you pls send code sample for file import too.

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-07 at 01:54:10ID: 24792467

>>Can you pls send code sample for file import too.

That's db specific and not really to do with Java.

Please post your current PreparedStatement code

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-07 at 02:08:54ID: 24792549

public void performBatch(Connection conn, List queries) throws SQLException
      {
            String query;
            Statement stmt;
      
            
            try {
                  conn.setAutoCommit(false);
                      stmt = conn.createStatement();
        
            for (int i = 0; i < queries.size(); i++)
            {
                  stmt.addBatch((String)queries.get(i));
      
            }
          
              // Execute the batch
//              int [] updateCounts = stmt.executeBatch();
          
          
              // Since there were no errors, commit
              conn.commit();
          }
            catch (BatchUpdateException e)
            {
              // Not all of the statements were successfully executed
              int[] updateCounts = e.getUpdateCounts();
          
              // Some databases will continue to execute after one fails.
              // If so, updateCounts.length will equal the number of batched statements.
              // If not, updateCounts.length will equal the number of successfully executed statements
              processUpdateCounts(updateCounts);
          
              // Either commit the successfully executed statements or rollback the entire batch
              conn.rollback();
          }
            catch (SQLException e)
            {
                  System.out.println("Query Falied to execute:" + (String)queries.get(i));
          }
          finally
          {
                conn.commit();
          }
      
      }

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-07 at 02:12:56ID: 24792567

you rollback the entire batch by the looks, you want to commit the successful ones
and you shouldn't be committing in finally lock, its already been handled

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-07 at 02:20:17ID: 24792603

You need to see the comment i made at http:#24776270 - you're not doing that - in fact you're doing the opposite
      

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-07 at 02:22:32ID: 24792614

though if you you always want commit() all the successful, then you would do the commit() in your finally block, but get rid of the other commits and rollbacks.

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-07 at 02:43:37ID: 24792704

I removed rollback from catch and added commit in place of it than also same problem is occuring.

Also i removed commit from everywhere and tried keeping only in finally block, still same issue.

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-07-07 at 02:44:46ID: 24792713

But if when i am executing queries individually instead of batch, most of the queries are getting executed successfully. But it is taking to much of time.

 

by: objectsPosted on 2009-07-07 at 02:46:17ID: 24792724

have you tried breaking the batch down into smaller batchs. shouldn't need to but worth testing if thats the problem.

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-07-07 at 03:06:46ID: 24792805

If you have a driver/db that doesn't continue on error, there's not much you can do. You'll probably find that a non-batched PreparedStatement insert gets you there faster in the end

 

by: rajeevy69Posted on 2009-08-02 at 02:22:41ID: 24998191

Above things still does not resolve issue. I cant say that it is database issue. So please suggest something
