I am trying to resolve some connectivity issues between Business Objects and a Progress Open Edge database.
I am trying to find a system table (or tables) that can tell me what is running on the progress open edge database. I only have ODBC access to it.
Special bonus points if the running sql can be returned!
Thanks in advance....
It sounds like you want the "client statement cache".
This is available in 10.1C and higher. Once enabled for a session it will track the database access statements (SQL queries for SQL connections or 4gl stack trace for 4gl connections) as they occur. Is does not keep a history -- only the most recent statement is available.
I am a 4GL guy so you will have to excuse my SQL ineptitude but you can use SQL connections to fiddle with system tables.
The _Connect VST is what you are looking for. For best results use the _Connect-Id key which is "off by one" from the Usr# (Id fields on VST tables are indexed, no other fields are).
If you have access to the server, you can enable the client statement cache via PROMON. Select the "R&D" menu, then option 1, then option 18. Choose "1-Single" for SQL connections.
If you want to code it with SQL you need to muck about with the _Connect. _connect-cachingType and _Connect._connect-cacheinfo[1] fields.
_connect-cachingType = 1 will give you your most recent SQL statement (or 4gl statement if it is a 4gl connection)
_connect-cacheinfo is an array. element 1 is the only element with anything in it for SQL connection. (4gl connections may have a procedure stack trace...)
OE Databases have what is termed a "Statement Cache."
There's a KB on the technology here, and a discussion on accessing the cache information via the database's VST tables here.

Why would the TrackedMessages_Copy_BizTalkMsgBoxDb SQL Agent job start failing with "Query processor could not produce a query plan"?
Query processor could not produce a query plan because of the hints defined in this query. Resubmit the query without specifying any hints and without using SET FORCEPLAN. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8622).
Our SQL guys are talking about amending the stored proc. but we've told them to treat BizTalk db's as a black box
It should go without saying, but before anything, make sure to backup your databases. In fact, if your regular backup jobs are running, you may be able to restore a backup and compare things to when it was working on this server. That said -
Check the SQL Agent Job to make sure no additional steps have been added/no plan has been forced/no hints are being used; it should just have one step called 'Purge' that calls the procedure below with the DB server and DTA database name as parameters.
Check the procedure (BizTalkMsgBoxDb.dbo.bts_CopyTrackedMessagesToDTA) to make sure it hasn't been altered.
If this is a production or otherwise sensitive box, back up the DBs and restore them to a local dev environment before proceeding!
If this is not production, see if you can run the procedure (perhaps in a transaction that you rollback) directly in SSMS. See if you get any better errors. Add print statements to see if you can find out exactly where it's getting conflicting hints.
If the procedure won't run, consider freeing the procedure cache (DBCC FREEPROCCACHE) and seeing if the procedure will run.
If it runs in your dev environment from a backup, you may have to start looking at server/database settings. I can't think of which ones off the top of my head that would cause this error though.
For what it's worth, well intentioned DBAs break BizTalk frequently. They decide that an index is missing or not properly covering, or that security could be improved, or that the database should be treated like other databases they administer are treated. I've seen DBAs do really silly things to the BizTalk databases that get very hard to diagnose.
Did you try updating the statistics on the database table referenced by the stored procedure (which is run by the SQL Server Agent job? The query planner uses those to decide how best to execute your SQL.
I want to transfer tables data from SQL server to Informix and vice versa.
The transferring should be run scheduled and sometimes when the user make a specific action.
I do this operation through delete and insert transactions and it takes along long time through the web between 15 minute to 30 minute.
How to do this operation in easy way taking the performance in consideration?
Say I have
Vacation table in SQL Server and want to transfer all the updated data to the Vacation table in Informix.
and
Permission table in Informix and want to transfer all the updated data to the Permission table in SQL Server.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an SQL Server DBA. However, I have been an Informix DBA for over ten years and can make some recommendations as to its performance.
Disclaimer aside, it sounds like you already have a functional application, but the performance is a show-stopper and that is where you are mainly looking for advice.
There are some technical pieces of information that would be helpful to know, but in their absence, I'm going to make the following assumptions about your environment and application. Please comment or edit your question if I am wrong on any of these.
Database server versions. From the tags, it appears you are using SQL server 2012. However, I cannot determine the Informix server and version. I will assume you are running at least IDS 11.50 or greater.
How the data is being exchanged currently. Are you connecting directly from your .NET application to Informix? I would assume that is the case with SQL Server and will make the same assumption for your Informix connection as well.
Table structures. I assume you have proper indexing on the tables. On the Informix side, dbschema -d *dbname* -t *tablename* will give the basic schema.
If you haven't tried exporting data to CSV and as long as you don't have any compliance concerns doing this, I would suggest loading the data from a comma-delimited file. (Informix normally deals with pipe-delimited files, so you'll either need to adjust the delimiter on the SQL Server side to a pipe | or on the Informix import side). On the Informix end, this would be a
LOAD FROM 'source_file_from_sql_server' DELIMITER '|' INSERT INTO vacation (field1, field2, ..)
For reusability, I would recommend putting this in a stored procedure. Just wrap that load statement inside a BEGIN WORK; and COMMIT WORK; to keep your transactional integrity. Michał Niklas suggested some ways to track changes. If there is any correlation between the transfer of data to the vacation table in Informix and the permission table back in SQL Server, I would propose another option, which is adding a trigger to the vacation table so that you write all new values to a staging table.
With the import logic in a stored procedure, you can fire the import on demand:
EXECUTE PROCEDURE vacation_import();
You also mentioned the need to schedule the import, which can be accomplished with Informix's "dbcron". Using this feature, you'll create a scheduled task that executes vacation_import() periodically as well. If you haven't used this feature before, using OAT will be helpful. You will also want to do some housekeeping with the CSV files. This can be addressed with the system() call, which you can make from stored procedures in Informix.
Some ideas:
Add was_transferred column to source tables setting its default value to 0 (you can use 0/1 instead of false/true).
From source table select data with was_transferred=0.
After transferring data update selected source row, set its was_transferred to 1.
Make table syncro_info with fields like date_start and date_stop. If you discover that there is record with date_stop IS NULL it will mean that you are tranferring data. This will protect you against synchronizing data twice.
How to Synchronize local database(datas) value to Server(Hosting) database values in SQL server 2008 R2? ex:from our client having a pc wen they are enterting entry it will insert kay ah...but in our concern keeping backup from server Hosting i mean IBM server...suppose client
connecting internet connection means clicking single button event want to transfer OUR own server database also..can u got it
Is there such any option there? Please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
I suggest that use Redgate Data compare tools in order to synchronize data from one database to another database.
You can also use some query such as following query in order to determine deferent record in two database and synch them
USE Datbase1
INSERT INTO Schema1.Table1 (columns)
SELECT t1.Columns
FROM Datbase2.Schema2.Table2 t1
LEFT JOIN Schema1.Table1 t2 ON t1.keyColumn = t2.Keycolumn
WHERE t2.keycolumn IS NULL
The RedGate will be costly for you. Use can use Open Source Database compare and sync tool as
Open DBDiff
I have used it for my Live Databases compare with Local Database. Still today I have not found any issue.
Hope It will help you.
Open DBDiff is an open source database schema comparison tool for SQL Server 2005/2008.
It reports differences between two database schemas and provides a synchronization script to upgrade a database from one to the other.
How to create a small and simple database using Oracle 11 g and SQL Developer ?
I am seeing too many errors and I cannot find any way to make a simple database.
For example
create database company;
Caused the following error:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
create database company
Error at Command Line:1 Column:0
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01100: database already mounted
01501. 00000 - "CREATE DATABASE failed"
*Cause: An error occurred during create database
*Action: See accompanying errors.
EDIT-
This is completely different from MySQL and MS-SQL that I am familiar with.
Not as intuitive as I was expecting.
First off, what Oracle calls a "database" is generally different than what most other database products call a "database". A "database" in MySQL or SQL Server is much closer to what Oracle calls a "schema" which is the set of objects owned by a particular user. In Oracle, you would generally only have one database per server (a large server might have a handful of databases on it) where each database has many different schemas. If you are using the express edition of Oracle, you are only allowed to have 1 database per server. If you are connected to Oracle via SQL Developer, that indicates that you already have the Oracle database created.
Assuming that you really want to create a schema, not a database (using Oracle terminology), you would create the user
CREATE USER company
IDENTIFIED BY <<password>>
DEFAULT TABLESPACE <<tablespace to use for objects by default>>
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE <<temporary tablespace to use>>
You would then assign the user whatever privileges you wanted
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO company;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO company;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO company;
...
Once that is done, you can connect to the (existing) database as COMPANY and create objects in the COMPANY schema.
Actually the answer from Justin above could not be more incorrect. SQL Server and MySQL are for smallish databases. Oracle is for large enterprise databases, thus the difference in it's structure. And it is common to have more than one Oracle database on a server provided that the server is robust enough to handle the load. If you received the error posted above then you obviously are trying to create a new Oracle database and if you are doing that then you probably already understand the structure of an Oracle database. The likely scenario is that you attempted to create a database using dbca, it initially failed, but the binaries were created. You then adjusted your initial parameters and re-tried creating the database using dbca. However, the utility sees the binaries and folder structure for the database that you are creating so it thinks that the database already exists but is not mounted. Dropping the database and removing the binaries and folders as well as any other cleanup of the initial attempt should be done first, then try again.
From your question description, I think you were to create a database schema, not a database instance. In Oracle terminology, a database instance is a set of files in the file system. It's more like data files in MySQL. Whereas database in MySQL is somewhat equivalent to Oracle's schema.
To create a schema in Oracle: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_6014.htm
To create a database instance in Oracle (I personally prefer CDBA):
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/create.htm#ADMIN11068
Notice the Oracle Express edition does not support mounting more than one database instance at one time.
In normal condition, I can add schemas in the dbml file to empty database with code below.
But now when I run this code, I take the error "Cannot drop database "test" because it is currently in use." How can I do it?
Dim db As New UI_Class.UIData
If db.DatabaseExists Then
db.DeleteDatabase()
End If
db.CreateDatabase()
It might happen as your SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) must be holding it.
Most likely something is connected to the db.
Common causes are:
Some other tool connected
Trying to delete the database you connected to.
Another user connected to the db.
