SQLCancel not working with UDB?

We have a setup with a v7 client accessing a v8 UDB server running on
AIX. When I call SQLCancel from a second thread on a long running query,
SQLCancel itself simply waits for statement completion too. That was not
the idea, no? Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is it not supported
(despite being described in the DB2 help)?

What's your long-running query doing on the server?

It's doing something like

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM HugeTable A, HugeTable B

which is, obviously, designed to be running for quite a while so I can
test SQLCancel. It does not work with something like

SELECT *
FROM BigTable
WHERE SomeField LIKE '%m%'

either, though. During the fetch phase it works OK, but that is not
where I need it. It should abort the execution of the initial
SQLExec/SQLPutData.

The way I read the CLI Reference is that SQLCancel does not guarantee that
the statement execution is indeed terminated because it says: "How the
function is canceled depends upon the operating system." and later on "If
the original function is canceled, ..."

Damn, I hate APIs where the name lies :-)

The Truth in Advertising act says that we should have called it
SQLAttemptCance l :-)

Well, that was Microsoft who named this one, I believe. Nevertheless, at
least your docs could make a little more specific claims as to where
it's supported and where not.

Peter,

When you run the same query from CLP, can you CTRL-C it?
I have never had a case where I couldn't CTRL-C, but it is thinkable and
would need to be looked at.

my preferred editor, Advanced Query Tool, stopped supporting asynchronous
queries in V8. they said it was because V8 stopped supporting it. so,
empirically, it worked. now it doesn't.

now, AQT is an ODBC based product; so shouldn't necessarily behave the
same on *nix. but if it is the same codebase.....

In reply to Robert's post, and speaking as the developer of AQT. In
DB2 v7 we used the "asynchrono us queries" capability of the DB2 ODBC
Driver; we ran queries asynchronously and issued the SQLCancel in the
same thread. This async capability appears to be removed in the DB2 v8
ODBC Driver. To circumvent this, we are using multi-threading; the
queries run in one thread, a second thread runs the cancel if the user
selects this. The second thread does an SQLCancel; this seems to work
fine for cancelling the query (we have done much testing of this). The
SQLCancel returns immediately (I have *never* find it to hang), though
as Knut says, it can take a while for the query to actually terminate.

No, I cannot. Same behavior: it waits for completion of the statement,
but then aborts the fetching of results:

db2 => select count(*) from bookop where bookop_text like '%m%'

1
-----------

0 record(s) selected.

I tested this repeatedly. Normal execution takes about 7 secs. Hitting
Ctrl+C right after starting it takes 7 secs as well.

The setup is as follows:

DB2 v7 client on Windows 2K accessing a DB2 v8 server on AIX.

I shall try to test it with a v8 client as well.

peo

Hi: Is it possible for me to create/open web application from remote machine other than port 80? And create application directly under virtual web site instead of creating a virtual directory? Because there is a developing server in our company running IIS with multiple web sites, each one has its own port number. In real scenario, no applications will run under virtual directory, but directly under a site. Thanks!
