    OFFSET & LIMIT does not make it into the generated sql

    greiezer

      Hi,

      Im using the following JBoss-QL query in JBoss 3.2.3 for a ejbSelect method:

      SELECT OBJECT(p) FROM Category AS c, IN (c.products) AS p
      WHERE c = ?1
      AND p.state IS NOT NULL
      AND p.state = 'passiv'
      ORDER BY p.name
      OFFSET ?2
      LIMIT ?3


      But as yoy can see in the following the generated sql does not contain the OFFSET & LIMIT options.

      21:02:35,221 DEBUG [Category#ejbSelectActiveProducts] SQL:
      SELECT t0_p.productId, t0_p.type, t0_p.manufacturer, t0_p.productLink, t0_p.name, t0_p.description, t0_p.listPrice, t0_p.marge, t0_p.porto, t0_p.state, t0_p.registered, t0_p.modified, t0_p.weight, t0_p.keyWords, t0_p.category_fk
      FROM t_category t1_c INNER JOIN t_product t0_p ON t1_c.categoryId=t0_p.category_fk
      WHERE (t1_c.categoryId=?)
      AND t0_p.state IS NOT NULL
      AND t0_p.state = 'passiv'
      ORDER BY t0_p.name ASC

      I have also downloaded jboss-3.2.5, but the generated sql is here too missing the OFFSET & LIMIT options.
      Then I experimented with the EJBQLToSQL92Compiler setting in (jboss-3.2.5/server/default/conf/standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml) but that does not help either.
      What else could I try?
      Has anybody managed to get this working?

      Regards

      Andreas

          Don't look at the SQL. It works (I use it), it just isn't handled at SQL level.

            Thanks for the reply Joachim.

            OK, I have 107 products which are related to a category.

            CategoryLocal cat = CategoryUtil.getLocalHome( ).findByPrimaryKey( categoryId );
            Collection products = cat.getActiveProducts( offset, limit )


            At this point I would expect that 'products' has size=limit, but the actual size is 107.

            So to actually actually access the wanted data in the first run, one must use a for loop.
            for ( int i = 0, imax = offset + limit; ( i < imax ) && it.hasNext( ); i++ )
            {
             _log.debug(" --> for : i : " + i );
             Object obj = it.next( );
             if ( i >= offset )
             {
             _log.debug(" --> lst.add( getData( obj, type ) ) : " + obj + ", " + type );
             lst.add( getData( obj, type ) );
             }
            }
            


            Is this also the case for you, or can you just iterate over a 'limit'-sizes collection?

              Andreas,


              When I use limit, it effectively only return the number of records according to the limit (or less if there are less records).

              From your code, I would assume you are using a session facade. So, you would need to post the session facade code.

              In fact, the call you published only has two parameters, and the finder has three, so maybe something goes wrong there.

              Kind regards,
              Joachim

                Hi Joachim,

                Sorry, didn't want do upset you :-)
                It was and is also my intention to post a working solution to the forum.
                I am not able to figure it out my self and you wrote in your reply that you have it working for you.
                I would very much appreciate if you could find some time to look at the code and debugging output below.

                Regards

                  Andreas,

                  I don't see anything wrong.

                  You could try to enable trace logging and see whether this given any extra clues.

                  If that doesn't make you any wiser, then try to build a small testcase and submit that in a bugreport on sourceforge.

                    Joachim,

                    Resetting the ql-compiler to its default value did the trick!

                    <ql-compiler>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.JDBCEJBQLCompiler</ql-compiler>
                    <!--
                    <ql-compiler>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.EJBQLToSQL92Compiler</ql-compiler>
                    -->


                    I am a lucky man now:-)
                    Thank you for your help

                    Andreas

                        I am using JBOSS 3.2.3. (with MYSQL)

                        I am not able to get the finder query with LIMIT with 3.2.3.

                        The following is the query used:

                        SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM CUSTOMER o LIMIT ?1

                        I have not modified any configuration.

                        Am I missing anything? Any suggestions?
