Parse Query Missing Values - objective-c

I'm running a query to fetch all objects that are contained in the objectStrings but not all objects returned in the query.
var queryRestaurants = PFQuery(className: "Restaurant")
queryRestaurants.whereKey("objectId", containedIn: objectStrings)
queryRestaurants.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objectsRestaurants: [AnyObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if objectsRestaurants!.isEmpty { //if objects != nil {
println("ERROR, NO RESULTS")
} else {
restaurantArray = objectsRestaurants!
println(objectsRestaurants)
}
I double checked my backend and the objectIds in objectStrings are valid.
Example of what objectStrings looks like:
var objectStrings = [7US4aCNtae, odRzaG2zPn, T3QPXn8fvi, B4UDIKfR2t, ScuShpQbj2]
Why is Parse not fetching every object with objectIds contained in objectStrings? Only some of them are returned.
Update:
After many tests, i found that if I remove B4UDIKfR2t, all the values can be found. Once I add it back, some objects are missing again. But there's nothing different about B4UDIKfR2t and it can be fetched on its own just fine.
I just tried fetching only B4UDIKfR2t and the value that is missing odRzaG2zPn. They both are fetched successfully when its just the two of them.
Any idea what the problem is here?

How do perform a graph query and join?

I apologize for the title, I don't exactly know how to word it. But essentially, this is a graph-type query but I know RavenDB's graph functionality will be going away so this probably needs to be solved with Javascript.
Here is the scenario:
I have a bunch of documents of different types, call them A, B, C, D. Each of these particular types of documents have some common properties. The one that I'm interested in right now is "Owner". The owner field is an ID which points to one of two other document types; it can be a Group or a User.
The Group document has a 'Members' field which contains an ID which either points to a User or another Group. Something like this
It's worth noting that the documents in play have custom IDs that begin with their entity type. For example Users and Groups begin with user: and group: respectively. Example IDs look like this: user:john#castleblack.com or group:the-nights-watch. This comes into play later.
What I want to be able to do is the following type of query:
"Given that I have either a group id or a user id, return all documents of type a, b, or c where the group/user id is equal to or is a descendant of the document's owner."
In other words, I need to be able to return all documents that are owned by a particular user or group either explicitly or implicitly through a hierarchy.
I've considered solving this a couple different ways with no luck. Here are the two approaches I've tried:
Using a function within a query
With Dejan's help in an email thread, I was able to devise a function that would walk it's way down the ownership graph. What this attempted to do was build a flat array of IDs which represented explicit and implicit owners (i.e. root + descendants):
declare function hierarchy(doc, owners){
owners = owners || [];
while(doc != null) {
let ownerId = id(doc)
if(ownerId.startsWith('user:')) {
owners.push(ownerId);
} else if(ownerId.startsWith('group:')) {
owners.push(ownerId);
doc.Members.forEach(m => {
let owner = load(m, 'Users') || load(m, 'Groups');
owners = hierarchy(owner, owners);
});
}
}
return owners;
}
I had two issues with this. 1. I don't actually know how to use this in a query lol. I tried to use it as part of the where clause but apparently that's not allowed:
from #all_docs as d
where hierarchy(d) = 'group:my-group-d'
// error: method hierarchy not allowed
Or if I tried anything in the select statement, I got an error that I have exceeded the number of allowed statements.
As a custom index
I tried the same idea through a custom index. Essentially, I tried to create an index that would produce an array of IDs using roughly the same function above, so that I could just query where my id was in that array
map('#all_docs', function(doc) {
function hierarchy(n, graph) {
while(n != null) {
let ownerId = id(n);
if(ownerId.startsWith('user:')) {
graph.push(ownerId);
return graph;
} else if(ownerId.startsWith('group:')){
graph.push(ownerId);
n.Members.forEach(g => {
let owner = load(g, 'Groups') || load(g, 'Users');
hierarchy(owner, graph);
});
return graph;
}
}
}
function distinct(value, index, self){ return self.indexOf(value) === index; }
let ownerGraph = []
if(doc.Owner) {
let owner = load(doc.Owner, 'Groups') || load(doc.Owner, 'Users');
ownerGraph = hierarchy(owner, ownerGraph).filter(distinct);
}
return { Owners: ownerGraph };
})
// error: recursion is not allowed by the javascript host
The problem with this is that I'm getting an error that recursion is not allowed.
So I'm stumped now. Am I going about this wrong? I feel like this could be a subquery of sorts or a filter by function, but I'm not sure how to do that either. Am I going to have to do this in two separate queries (i.e. two round-trips), one to get the IDs and the other to get the docs?
Update 1
I've revised my attempt at the index to the following and I'm not getting the recursion error anymore, but assuming my queries are correct, it's not returning anything
// Entity/ByOwnerGraph
map('#all_docs', function(doc) {
function walkGraph(ownerId) {
let owners = []
let idsToProcess = [ownerId]
while(idsToProcess.length > 0) {
let current = idsToProcess.shift();
if(current.startsWith('user:')){
owners.push(current);
} else if(current.startsWith('group:')) {
owners.push(current);
let group = load(current, 'Groups')
if(!group) { continue; }
idsToProcess.concat(group.Members)
}
}
return owners;
}
let owners = [];
if(doc.Owner) {
owners.concat(walkGraph(doc.Owner))
}
return { Owners: owners };
})
// query (no results)
from index Entity/ByOwnerGraph as x
where x.Owners = "group:my-group-id"
// alternate query (no results)
from index Entity/ByOwnerGraph as x
where x.Owners ALL IN ("group:my-group-id")
I still can't use this approach in a query either as I get the same error that there are too many statements.

Why is this attempt at getting length property on array failing in AS3?

I'm getting data from an SQL database.
var result: SQLResult = sqlStatement.getResult();
var resultsArray:Array;
if (result != null)
{
resultsArray = result.data;
trace(resultsArray.length);
}
When there's data in the database, the above code works fine. When there's not data, it errors out on the trace line...
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Why is that? Why is it making it through the conditional when result is null?
Thank you.

API returns array of JSON for only one result

Currently working on an API which given an address returns information about is. Some of the rows in our tables are duplicates, however being as there is over 15 million I cant go and find the duplicates. Instead I have opted to use
var query = `SELECT TOP 1 * from my_TABLE where..conditions`;
This ensures that only one row of the duplicates are returned.
The problem is when this is sent back as a JSON it comes as an array with one object.
In the Server.js file
// create Request object
var request = new sql.Request();
// query to the database
request.query(query, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
console.log("Error while querying database :- " + err);
res.send(err);
}
else {
res.send(result)
}
Returns this:
[{
Address:'our info'
}]
is there a way to have it respond with
{
Address:'our info'
}
Because from DB you've get list of object anyway, even there is only 1 item.
It works as you expected when you try to return json with the first element of your array.

NHibernate Criteria Filtering

I use this code to filter database records
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_searchCriteria.MessageType))
{
var messageType = (AutotransferMessageType)Enum.Parse(typeof(AutotransferMessageType), _searchCriteria.MessageType, true);
if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(AutotransferMessageType), messageType))
{
criteriaQuery.CreateAlias("AutotransferInputRecord", "AutotransferInputRecord")
.Add(
Restrictions.Eq(
"AutotransferInputRecord." + AutotransferLogSearchCriteria.MessageTypePropertyName,
messageType));
}
else
{
criteriaQuery.Add(Restrictions.IsNull("AutotransferInputRecord"));
}
}
AutotransferMessageType is enumerable type
public enum AutotransferMessageType
{
[DisplayName("MT202")]
[DatabaseName("MT202")]
MT202,
[DisplayName("MT210")]
[DatabaseName("MT210")]
MT210,
//...
}
My filter outputs the results when I enter MT202, for example. (It's the right behavior).
When I input just number, for example, 202, I get no results (It's the right behavior too).
But when I try to input some line, "mt", for example, I get error
Unexpected application error has been occured:
'Requested value 'mt' was not found.'
How to make the filter do not show any results when I input a line?
Your error is coming from the line that parses the enum. Use Enum.TryParse instead:
AutotransferMessageType msgEnum;
var enumPrasedOk = Enum.TryParse(_searchCriteria.MessageType, true, out msgEnum);
if(enumPrasedOk){
//Do something
}else{
//Handle case where enum was not found for some reason (if need be)
}
Also please note that you can not look up the enum this way using it's description (in your case they are the same so it is ok).

"update" query - error invalid input synatx for integer: "{39}" - postgresql

I'm using node js 0.10.12 to perform querys to postgreSQL 9.1.
I get the error error invalid input synatx for integer: "{39}" (39 is an example number) when I try to perform an update query
I cannot see what is going wrong. Any advise?
Here is my code (snippets) in the front-end
//this is global
var gid=0;
//set websockets to search - works fine
var sd = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:0000");
sd.onmessage = function (evt)
{
//get data, parse it, because there is more than one vars, pass id to gid
var received_msg = evt.data;
var packet = JSON.parse(received_msg);
var tid = packet['tid'];
gid=tid;
}
//when user clicks button, set websockets to send id and other data, to perform update query
var sa = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:0000");
sa.onopen = function(){
sa.send(JSON.stringify({
command:'typesave',
indi:gid,
name:document.getElementById("typename").value,
}));
sa.onmessage = function (evt) {
alert("Saved");
sa.close;
gid=0;//make gid 0 again, for re-use
}
And the back -end (query)
var query=client.query("UPDATE type SET t_name=$1,t_color=$2 WHERE t_id = $3 ",[name, color, indi])
query.on("row", function (row, result) {
result.addRow(row);
});
query.on("end", function (result) {
connection.send("o");
client.end();
});
Why this not work and the number does not get recognized?
Thanks in advance
As one would expect from the initial problem, your database driver is sending in an integer array of one member into a field for an integer. PostgreSQL rightly rejects the data and return an error. '{39}' in PostgreSQL terms is exactly equivalent to ARRAY[39] using an array constructor and [39] in JSON.
Now, obviously you can just change your query call to pull the first item out of the JSON array. and send that instead of the whole array, but I would be worried about what happens if things change and you get multiple values. You may want to look at separating that logic out for this data structure.
