IBM DB2 JDBC Driver CallableStateme nt update count

Hi,

When using a CallableStateme nt with the IBM DB2 Universal JDBC Driver
the executeUpdate and getUpdateCount( ) methods on CallableStateme nt
always return -1. According to the JDBC specification it should return
the number of rows affected by the stored procedure and 0 if no rows
are affected (and it does this for all other database's jdbc drivers).

I opened a PMR with IBM and received the following explanation. IBM
claims that stored procedures on DB2 do not return this update value.
The database itself does not return an update value. So, there is no
way to return this value to the JDBC driver, instead of returning an
incorrect value, they have chosen to always return -1.

I am prepared to accept this explanation, but unfortunately it makes
it difficult to write generic cross-database platform code. Is there
any way of detemining the number of rows that a stored procedure
affects(perhpas from the catalog tables) without actually writing
extra code in the SQL Stored Procedure.

Cheers
Otto

nope. Any attempt to write cross-database platform code will
collapse as soon as it has to either run fast or address stored
procedures. DBMSes are mutually alien and disjoint in their
needs and implementations surrounding those issues.

I am not sure how JDBC can return the number of rows updated (or
inserted/deleted) in a stored procedure because there are typically (or at
least possible) multiple SQL statements in a Stored Procedure.

Within a DB2 stored procedure, it can be written to capture and return the
number of rows updated for a specific SQL statement, and then return it as
an out parameter (which I do frequently). This can done with GET_DIAGNOSTICS
ROW_COUNT in a SQL Stored Procedure, or examining the ERRD(3) field in the
SQLCA for a SP written in C, etc.

Thanks for this, but I beg to differ on this. Considering we have
successfully written cross-database platform high performance stored
procedures :-)
The one thing it does take is a lot of time and effort. We have
written wrappers that ensure that JDBC drivers do behave similarly.
Within constraints cross-platform database access is possible...

Sure, we are interested in the last updated/inserted/deleted statement
typically.

number of rows updated for a specific SQL statement, and then return it as
an out parameter (which I do frequently). This can done with GET_DIAGNOSTICS
ROW_COUNT in a SQL Stored Procedure, or examining the ERRD(3) field in the
SQLCA for a SP written in C, etc.
This is what i am trying to avoid, having to explicit code for this on
DB2 in the application code.
Applicaton code writters need to be immune from this (it all happens
magically for them :-) )
I would likes some JDBC wrapping code to determine the number of rows
affected and mimic the
stored proc update count value functionality that is supplied by other
DB vendors.

ERRD(3) is what i am after, the rowcount of the last INSERT/DELETE/
UPDATE statement.

The LAST UDI statement of the procedure only?
I'd have guessed that it shoudl contain the SUM of all UDI statement
rowcounts. Can you clarify?

The LAST UDI statement rowcount for the procedure is returned. Not the
sum.
That doesn't make much sense to me. Why the last and not the first? Or the
3rd?

....which doesn't make it any better. So why use such a crappy "feature" in

Hello, my Java-program can't load the JDBC driver. I always get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when I run it. The JDBC Driver is in the directory: C:\programs\ora92\jdbc\lib I think I have to set ORACLE_HOME environment variable and CLASSPATH, but I have no idea how ?????????

Hi everyone Description of the problem: Using a PreparedStatement to write down an integer (int) plus a timestamp for testing purposes. When read out again the integer looks very different.

This means that the value written and the value read sometimes do not match, which is of course inacceptable for all real world...

Hi, I am configuring the same DB2 v8.1 JDBC universal driver (db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar) from DB2 SP5 fix pack under WSAD 5.1.x environment and WebSphere application Server 5.0.2 on Windows 2000 machines. I configured a connection pool data source using type 4 for a local test environment in WSAD 5.1.x, and a connection pool data source on the WebSphere Server too. Both data sources are accessing the same database.
