Hello for demonstration purposes I trimmed out my actual sql query.
I have a SQL query
SELECT *
FROM dbdev.training.courses
where dbdev is my DEV database table name. When I migrate to TEST env, I want my query to dynamically change to
SELECT *
FROM dbtest.training.courses
I tried using input parameters like {env: p('db_name')} and using in the query as
SELECT * FROM :env.training.courses
or
SELECT * FROM (:env).training.courses
but none of them worked. I don't want my SQL query in properties file.
Can you please suggest a way to write my SQL query dynamically based on environment?
The only alternative way is to deploy separate jars for different environments with different code.
You can set the value of the property to a variable and then use the variable with string interpolation.
Warning: creating dynamic SQL queries using any kind of string manipulation may expose your application to SQL injection security vulnerabilities.
Example:
#['SELECT * FROM $(vars.database default "dbtest").training.courses']
Actually, you can do a completely dynamic or partially dynamic query using the MuleSoft DB connector.
Please see this repo:
https://github.com/TheComputerClassroom/dynamicSQLGETandPATCH
Also, I'm about to post an update that allows joins.
At a high level, this is a "Query Builder" where the code that builds the query is written in DataWeave 2. I'm working on another version that allows joins between entities, too.
If you have questions, feel free to reply.
One way to do it is :
Create a variable before DB Connector:
getTableName - ${env}.training.courses
Write SQL Query :
Select * from $(getTableName);
When I query in Aerospike using following it works:
aql> select * from connekt.inapp
as seen below:
However to find an specific entry I am trying following query, but it does not work:
aql> select * from connekt.inapp where DIGEST = "viwZnPMMutuTZkPBV/PPL6hmWW0="
Error: (2) AEROSPIKE_ERR_RECORD_NOT_FOUND
How to get a specific row from Aerospike using aql.
The digest you are seeing "AAAA....=" that was a cosmetic bug in AQL - I believe it was fixed couple of months ago, not sure which version of TOOLS release has it. [Bug - TOOLS-746]
It is rather moot because you already know the digest - you used it in the where = "viwZn...."
BTW, do
$aql
aql>HELP
for info on list of commonly used AQL commands. (Where digest= and edigest = are rarely useful in production. AQL is best used for exploring data, creating and managing Secondary Indexes, developing UDFs and Security management)
After doing some research and going through docs, I realised that in my case, digest is in Base64, format, so I have to query using EDIGEST like following:
aql> select * from connekt.inapp where EDIGEST = "viwZnPMMutuTZkPBV/PPL6hmWW0="
From docs:
When providing the HEX representation of the digest (for example from
the server logs), use DIGEST :
SELECT * FROM [.] WHERE DIGEST='DIGEST_HEX_STRING'
When
providing the Base64 representation of the digest (for example from
asbackup file), use EDIGEST :
SELECT * FROM [.] WHERE EDIGEST=DIGEST_B64_STRING
However when querying like this, in the result digest is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=, which I am not sure why is the case.
With Apache Drill I can get the version through a JDBC connection by dispatching the query: SELECT version FROM sys.version. Is there an analogous way to determine the Hive version?
I know I can use hive --version from a machine where Hive is running and available via the command line. However a query-based approach would fit my use case a little better as JDBC connections may be made from anywhere inside my network.
It's easy if you have a JDBC Connection.
Connection conn = // get it from somewhere
DatabaseMetaData md = conn.getMetadata();
System.out.println(md.getDatabaseMajorVersion() + "." + md.getDatabaseMinorVersion());
I don't know if you can get the information from a SQL/HiveQL query.
you can try this query
select version();
Is any facility like Prepared statement supported in IgniteCache API to avoid query parsing each time? I saw that a Jira issue has been raised for this , and it says its resolved in version 1.5.0.final,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1856 , but i could not find any documentation for this in Apache Ignite site. I know that we can use prepared statement by connecting via JDBC Connection but that does not suit my use case.
My Code looks like below ,this query will be called again and again with different parameters,
IgniteCache<Integer,Subscriber> subscriberCache= rocCachemanager.getCache("subscriberCache");
SqlQuery<Integer, Subscriber> sql = new SqlQuery(Subscriber.class,
"from Subscriber where Subscriber.MSISDNNo=? and Subscriber.status='Active'");
sql.setArgs("SomeNumber");
QueryCursor<Entry<Integer,Subscriber>> cursor =ss.query(sql);
Statements are cached automatically, no action required. If your query text does not change, only parameters do, Ignite will not parse the query again.
I have a Rails 4 application that I use in conjunction with sidekiq to run asynchronous jobs. One of the jobs I normally run outside of my Rails application is a large set of complex SQL queries that cannot really be modeled by ActiveRecord. The connection this set of SQL queries has with my Rails app is that it should be executed anytime one of my controller actions is invoked.
Ideally, I'd queue a job from my Rails application within the controller for Sidekiq to go ahead and run the queries. Right now they're stored in an external file, and I'm not entirely sure what the best way is to have Rails run the said SQL.
Any solutions are appreciated.
I agree with Sharagoz, if you just need to run a specific query, the best way is to send the query string directly into the connection, like:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(File.read("myquery.sql"))
If the query is not static and you have to compose it, I would use Arel, it's already present in Rails 4.x:

You didn't say what database you are using, so I'm going to assume MySQL.
You could shell out to the mysql binary to do the work:
result = `mysql -u #{user} --password #{password} #{database} < #{huge_sql_filename}`
Or use ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(File.read("huge.sql")), but it won't work out of the box if you have multiple SQL statements in your SQL file.
In order to run multiple statements you will need to create an initializer that monkey patches the ActiveRecord::Base.mysql2_connection to allow setting MySQL's CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS and CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS flags.
Create a new initializer config/initializers/mysql2.rb
module ActiveRecord
class Base
# Overriding ActiveRecord::Base.mysql2_connection
# method to allow passing options from database.yml
#
# Example of database.yml
#
# login: &login
# socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
# adapter: mysql2
# host: localhost
# encoding: utf8
# flags: 131072
#
# #param [Hash] config hash that you define in your
# database.yml
# #return [Mysql2Adapter] new MySQL adapter object
#
def self.mysql2_connection(config)
config[:username] = 'root' if config[:username].nil?
if Mysql2::Client.const_defined? :FOUND_ROWS
config[:flags] = config[:flags] ? config[:flags] | Mysql2::Client::FOUND_ROWS : Mysql2::Client::FOUND_ROWS
end
client = Mysql2::Client.new(config.symbolize_keys)
options = [config[:host], config[:username], config[:password], config[:database], config[:port], config[:socket], 0]
ConnectionAdapters::Mysql2Adapter.new(client, logger, options, config)
end
end
end
Then update config/database.yml to add flags:
development:
adapter: mysql2
database: app_development
username: user
password: password
flags: <%= 65536 | 131072 %>
I just tested this on Rails 4.1 and it works great.

Executing one query is - as outlined by other people - quite simply done through
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
You are talking about a 20.000 line sql script of multiple queries. Assuming you have the file somewhat under control, you can extract the individual queries from it.
script = Rails.root.join("lib").join("script.sql").read # ah, Pathnames
# this needs to match the delimiter of your queries
STATEMENT_SEPARATOR = ";\n\n"
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
script.split(STATEMENT_SEPARATOR).each do |stmt|
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(stmt)
end
end
If you're lucky, then the query delimiter could be ";\n\n", but this depends of course on your script. We had in another example "\x0" as delimiter. The point is that you split the script into queries to send them to the database. I wrapped it in a transaction, to let the database know that there is coming more than one statement. The block commits when no exception is raised while sending the script-queries.
If you do not have the script-file under control, start talking to those who control it to get a reliable delimiter. If it's not under your control and you cannot talk to the one who controls it, you wouldn't execute it, I guess :-).
UPDATE
This is a generic way to solve this. For PostgreSQL, you don't need to split the statements manually. You can just send them all at once via execute. For MySQL, there seem to be solutions to get the adapter into a CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS mode.
If you want to execute raw SQL through active record you can use this API:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
If you are running big SQL every time, i suggest you to create a sql view for it. It be boost the execution time. The other thing is, if possible try to split all those SQL query in such a way that it will be executed parallely instead of sequentially and then push it to sidekiq queue.
You have to use ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute or ModelClass.find_by_sql to run custom SQL.
Also, put an eye on ROLLBACK transactions, you will find many places where you dont need such ROLLBACK feature. If you avoid that, the query will run faster but it is dangerous.
Thanks all i can suggest.
use available database tools to handle the complex queries, such as views, stored procedures etc and call them as other people already suggested (ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute and ModelClass.find_by_sql for example)- it might very well cut down significantly on query preparation time in the DB and make your code easier to handle
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-view.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-tutorials-stored-routines-statements.html
abstract your query input parameters into a hash so you can pass it on to sidekiq, don't send SQL strings as this will probably degrade performance (due to query preparation time) and make your life more complicated due to funny SQL driver parsing bugs
run your complex queries in a dedicated named queue and set concurrency to such a value that will prevent your database of getting overwhelmed by the queries as they smell like they could be pretty db heavy

have a look at Squeel, its a great addition to AR, it might be able to pull some of the things you are doing
https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/squeel
http://railscasts.com/episodes/354-squeel
I'll assume you use MySQL for now, but your mileage will vary depending on the DB type that you use. For example, Oracle has some good gems for handling stored procedures, views etc, for example https://github.com/rsim/ruby-plsql
Let me know if some of this stuff doesn't fit your use case and I'll expand
I see this post is kind of old. But I would like to add my solution to it. I was in a similar situation; I also needed a way to force feed "PRAGMA foreign_keys = on;" into my sqlite connection (I could not find a previous post that spelled it out how to do it.) Anywho, this worked like a charm for me. It allowed me to write "pretty" sql and still get it executed. Blank lines are ignored by the if statement.
conn = ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(adapter:'sqlite3',database:DB_NAME)
sqls = File.read(DDL_NAME).split(';')
sqls.each {|sql| conn.connection.execute(sql<<';') unless sql.strip.size == 0 }
conn.connection.execute('PRAGMA foreign_keys = on;')
I had the same problem with a set of sql statements that I needed to execute all in one call to the server. What worked for me was to set up an initializer for Mysql2 adapter (as explained in infused answer) but also do some extra work to process multiple results. A direct call to ActiveRecord::Base.connection.executewould only retrieve the first result and issue an Internal Error.
My solution was to get the Mysql2 adapter and work directly with it:
client = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection
Then, as explained here, execute the query and loop through the results:
client.query(multiple_stms_query)
while client.next_result
result = client.store_result
# do something with it ...
end
