[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3360) Custom Oracle Batcher to allow batch updates for versioned data

[Fabian Depry (JIRA)]

Fabian Depry commented on HHH-3360:
-----------------------------------

Thank you for your reply. It makes sense.

I was actually never able to get to the underlying OraclePreparedStatement from the JBoss wrapped prepared statement. The best I could get was an Oracle-specific class that also has the "setExecuteBatch(int)" and the "sendBatch()" methods so I could call those methods the same way it was done in the posted files. But I realize trying to use their proprietary class instead of the public OraclePreparedStatement is not an acceptable solution anyway.

I already added a post in the JBoss forum on how to access the underlying prepared statement (http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=158861), but I don't have much hope since JBoss does provide a method to get the underlying prepared statement; it's just that it is not an OraclePreparedStatement like expected but some kind of Oracle-specific wrapper.

Maybe I should ask the Oracle folks instead of the JBoss folks...

Anyway, thanks again for the answer, that did help :-)

Fabian

> We have developed a custom Oracle Batcher which allows batching versioned data. The Oracle JDBC driver does not return update counts when using the standard JDBC 2.0 batching mechanism, however the proprietary Oracle batching mechanism allows obtaining the total batch row update count. The update counts are absolutely necessary to detect stale updates.
> Although it is not exactly the same, the total row update count is actually enough information to be able to batch versioned data and still detect stale updates.
> We'd like to contribute the attached files. They have a compile time dependency on Oracle JDBC. If this is not acceptable, it could be easily solved by using reflection.
> Another Batcher is provided for when the Oracle connection is being managed through c3p0 (a common deployment scenario). This has a compile time dependency on c3p0.
> A few "dirty" tricks were necessary to pull this off without patching other classes. Specifically, it was necessary to override Java private semantics to obtain BasicExpectation.expectedRowCount. This could be easily solved by adding an accessor method to the Expectation interface.
> There is one issue which we are not completely sure of, however so far we have not found any problems. When the Expectation is NONE, there is no way to check whether the total row count is correct or not, even if other batched updates do have expectations with expected row counts. Our understanding is that actually, since batching requires all statements to be of the same type (since the same PreparedStatement / CallableStatement is being used), then either ALL expectations will be NONE, or all will have an expected row count. We'd welcome comments from the Hibernate team. This could also be probably handled better by improving the Expectation interface.
> Oracle JDBC docs that explain the Oracle batching model: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/oraperf.htm#i1059054
> As expected, implementing this solution has resulted in drastical improvement in batch processing.
