How to change update statement before executing: Linq2Sql Classes - linq-to-sql

I have implemented Change Tracking (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280462.aspx) on some tables I am using Linq2Sql on.
As a part of this I need to add the below SQL to the start of the update statements generated.
DECLARE #originator_id varbinary(128);
SET #originator_id = CAST('SyncService' AS varbinary(128));
WITH CHANGE_TRACKING_CONTEXT (#originator_id)
....generated statements....
....
....
I know I can create stored procedures and manually map the fiels but I would like to avoid this if possible.
does anyone know a way to override and edit the SQL on SubmitChanges()?

You can override the Update method by implementing partial classes on your datacontext that LINQ to SQL will call instead. Just give it the signature:
partial void UpdateClassName(ClassName instance)
You can also pass through to what it would normally do using:
ExecuteDynamicInsert(instance);
Unfortunately there is no mechanism just to get the intended SQL back for inserts/update/deletes (you can get SELECT statements with GetCommand on the DataContext)

ServiceStack.OrmLite: Inserting or updating columns that are not represented in the POCO?

I looked through the docs and I didn't find anything on this subject, but I thought I'd ask, to be sure:
Is there a way for OrmLites INSERT and UPDATE APIs to make it possible in one query, to insert/update columns that are not present in the POCO?
DateTime myTimestamp = DateTime.Now;
db.Insert<MyPoco>(myPoco, new { MyNewColumn=myTimeStamp });
or something like it?
I know that I can make a custom SQL, so either make a second query, inserting the custom columns, or write the whole thing myself, but I'd like to avoid that and let OrmLite do what it's supposed to do.
OrmLite is a typed code-first ORM where each POCO is the authoritative source which maps 1:1 to their respective RDBMS tables.
You can’t use OrmLite’s typed APIs with an unknown or dynamic schema and would need to Execute Custom SQL INSERT, e:g:
db.ExecuteSql(
"INSERT INTO page_stats (ref_id, fav_count) VALUES (#refId, #favCount)",
new { refId, favCount });

Calling MySQL stored procedure in ROR 4

There are few example out there but non of them are very clarified (or on old version).
I want to call MySQL procedure and check the return status (in rails 4.2). The most common method I saw is to call result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("call example_proc()"), but in some places people wrote there is prepared method result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute_procedure("Stored Procedure Name", arg1, arg2) (however it didn't compiled).
So what is the correct way to call and get the status for MySQL procedure?
Edit:
And how to send parameters safly, where the first parameter is integer, second string and third boolean?
Rails 4 ActiveRecord::Base doesn't support execute_procedure method, though result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection still works. ie
result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("call example_proc('#{arg1}','#{arg2}')")
You can try Vishnu approach below
or
You can also try
ActiveRecord::Base.connections.exec_query("call example_proc('#{arg1}','#{arg2}')")
here is the document
In general, you should be able to call stored procedures in a regular where or select method for a given model:
YourModel.where("YOUR_PROC(?, ?)", var1, var2)
As for your comment "Bottom line I want the most correct approach with procedure validation afterwards (for warnings and errors)", I guess it always depends on what you actually want to implement and how readable you want your code to be.
For example, if you want to return rows of YourModel attributes, then it probably would be better if you use the above statement with where method. On the other hand, if you write some sql adapter then you might want to go down to the ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute level.
BTW, there is something about stored proc performance that should be mentioned here. In several databases, database does stored proc optimization on the first run of the stored proc. However, the parameters that you pass to that first run might not be those that will be running on it more frequently later on. As a result, your stored-proc might be auto-optimized in a "none-optimal" way for your case. It may or may not happen this way, but it is something that you should consider while using stored procs with dynamic params.
I believe you have tried many other solutions and got some or other errors mostly "out of sync" or "closed connection" errors. These errors occur every SECOND time you try to execute the queries. We need to workaround like the connection is new every time to overcome this. Here is my solution that didn't throw any errors.
#checkout a connection for Model
conn = ModelName.connection_pool.checkout
#use the new connection to execute the query
#records = conn.execute("call proc_name('params')")
#checkout the connection
ModelName.connection_pool.checkin(conn)
The other approaches failed for me, possibly because ActiveRecord connections are automatically handled to checkout and checking for each thread. When our method tries to checkout a connection just to execute the SP, it might conflict since there will be an active connection just when the method started.
So the idea is to manually #checkout a connection for the model instead of for thread/function from the pool and #checkin once the work is done. This worked great for me.

Generic SQL for update / insert

I'm writing a DB layer which talks to MS SQL Server, MySQL & Oracle. I need an operation which can update an existing row if it contains certain data, otherwise insert a new row; All in one SQL operation.
Essentially I need to save over existing data if it exists, or add it if it doesn't
Conceptually this is the same as upsert except it only needs to work on a single table. I'm trying to make sure I don't need to delete then insert as this has a performance impact.
Is there generic SQL to do this or do I need vendor specific solutions?
Thanks.
You need vendor specific SQL as MySQL (unlike MS and Oracle) doesn't support MERGE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_(SQL)
I suspect that sooner rather than later, you're going to need a vendor specific implementation of your DB layer - SQL portability is pretty much a myth as soon as you do anything even slightly advanced.
I am pretty sure this is going to be vendor specific. For SQL Server, you can accomplish this using the MERGE statement.
If you are using SQL Server 2008, use Merge Statement. But keep in mind that if your Insert part has some condition involve, then it cannot be used. In which case you need to write your own way for accomplishing this. And in your case it has to be since you are involving MySQL which does not have a Merge Statement.
Why are you not using an ORM layer (like Entity Framework) for this purpose?
Just some pseudo code(in C#)
public int SaveTask(tblTaskActivity task, bool isInsert)
{
int result = 0;
using (var tmsEntities = new TMSEntities())
{
if (isInsert) //for insert
{
tmsEntities.AddTotblTaskActivities(task);
result = tmsEntities.SaveChanges();
}
else //for update
{
var taskActivity = tmsEntities.tblTaskActivities.Where(i => i.TaskID == task.TaskID).FirstOrDefault();
taskActivity.Priority = task.Priority;
taskActivity.ActualTime = task.ActualTime;
result = tmsEntities.SaveChanges();
}
}
return result;
}
In MySQL you have something similar to merge:
insert ... on duplicate key update ...

Calling Stored Procedure with Hibernate and Spring

There are a lot of examples over the net which describe how to call a stored procedure using Hibernate, however, when using Spring, the picture changes a bit.
I have a stored procedure in MySQL which I want to call:
in SQL I need to write the following:
CALL inrange(32.342324,32.234234);
It returns a row with the following: `{INT},{INT},{FLOAT}`
With Spring, I use the HibernateTemplate way of executing hibernate operations, I know that some of you won't like it, but this is the how the project was when I started, and I'm not so eager changing it, maybe in the future...
Currently, I have the following code in Java, which tries to call the procedure:
List<Object[]> resultset = hibernateTemplate
.findByNamedQuery("inrange",
person.getAddress().getLatitude(),
person.getAddress().getLongitude());
When I run it, I get the following Hibernate exception:
org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateSystemException:
Named query not known: inrange;
I figured that this is happening duo the fact that I didn't declare the stored procedure in hibernate.
My question is:
how do I declare it ?
Is there a special way of declaring it in the Spring's application context file ?
You can call native sql queries within hibernate.
Look at this link:
http://www.mkyong.com/hibernate/how-to-call-store-procedure-in-hibernate/
Btw if you want to call stored procedures you could simply use a Spring JdbcTemplate.
Notice that an hibernate extension can fit to your needs:
http://www.hibernatespatial.org/
You're confusing Hibernate's named queries with MySQL's stored procedures.
If you want to call the MySQL stored proc, there is no benefit to doing so through Hibernate's API. I recommend you use Spring's JdbcTemplate to perform the query.
If you absolutely must use Hibernate, something like this should work:
SQLQuery query = hibernateTemplate.getCurrentSession()
.createSQLQuery("SELECT inrange(:latitude, :longitude)";
query.setDouble("latitude", ...);
query.setDouble("longitude", ...);
List<Object[]> result = query.list(); // requires casting for generics
You need to add the named query to your hibernate mapping file.
Can you share your hibernate mapping file? You can find some samples here.
Along with the previous link you can go through this also.
It will be easier if you can share the POJO, hibernate mapping and the procedure you are using.
This blog will be of help for you. I hope you will not have any problem with using the getHibernateTemplate().execute(HibernateCallback) method.
You can use JPA as Spring supports it either in Core or Spring Data.
Calling the stored procedure can be done using the StoredProcedureQuery as follows:
StoredProcedureQuery query = entityManager
.createStoredProcedureQuery("count_comments")
.registerStoredProcedureParameter(
"postId", Long.class, ParameterMode.IN)
.registerStoredProcedureParameter(
"commentCount", Long.class, ParameterMode.OUT)
.setParameter("postId", 1L);
query.execute();
Long commentCount = (Long) query
.getOutputParameterValue("commentCount");

Override SQL generated by LINQ to SQL?

Is it possible to override the SQL generated by LINQ to SQL, for optimisation purposes?
You could use the ExecuteQuery method instead. This is useful if you want to leverage a function that's available in SqlServer but not in Linq (IE PIVOT, etc...)
For instance:
var query = db.ExecuteQuery<MyType>( #"SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...");
One way I have used:
Create a stored proc, use the linq to sql designer to drag the proc into the design surface. Call the resulting method instead.
