I have a 'user' table with a field name 'process_salary?' which has a boolean datatype
#user = User.create(params[:user])
if #user.process_salary?
//some code here
else
//some code here
end
When I create a new object of user and check for process_salary it gives me following error
NoMethodError: undefined method `process_salary?' for #<User:0xb6ac2f68>
Why does this error occur? Can I avoid it without changing my column name?
When I check it with the debugger it crashes the first time, but after that it runs properly
The question-mark has a special meaning in ActiveRecord. It can be used to check whether a field is true. You are using it as part of your field name which wasn't such a good idea. You could try if #user.process_salary?? exists but I think ultimately it is easiest to change your database column to be called 'process_salary'.
Side note: The 'rails console' is really helpful for playing around with models.
As cellcortex posted, question marks at the end of column names are tricky in Rails. If you need to have it there for legacy reasons, you might be able access the attribute as follows:
#user['process_salary?']
or the more verbose:
#user.read_attribute['process_salary?']
You can of course test for nil using .nil?.

I am currently in the process of coding a script, using LUA. The script itself is designed to check if certain jobs are whitelisted (its a FiveM script). When switching jobs, it will save your current rank into the database, then switch over to the new job, so if you ever want to go back to the old one you will have your rank restored.
MySQL.Sync.execute('UPDATE users SET `#jobselect` = #currentrank WHERE identifier
= #identifier3', {
['#jobselect'] = currentjob2,
['#currentrank'] = xPlayer.job.grade,
['#identifier3'] = xPlayer.getIdentifier()
})
Through the console, I ran each of those variables, currentjob2, xPlayer.job.grade, etc. They all return what I expected them to. Then when I try to execute that MySQL query, I get the following error:
Unknown Column ''ems_rank'' in 'field list'
ems_rank is the result of the variable currentjob2 (just letting you know)
So, I can tell the issue is that the column's name is just ems_rank whereas the code is reading the quotation marks and assuming the column is called 'ems_rank' when it isnt. So if anybody could help me find a way to remove the quotations, that would be much appreciated.
Bare in mind I am coding all this in LUA.
I have been getting this annoying exception while trying to create a native query with my entity manager. The full error message is:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: During synchronization a new object was found through a relationship that was not marked cascade PERSIST: com.model.OneToManyEntity2#61f3b3b.

at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.QueryImpl.getSingleResult(QueryImpl.java:521)
at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EJBQueryImpl.getSingleResult(EJBQueryImpl.java:400)
The actual code that triggers the error is:
Query query;
query = entityManager.createNativeQuery(
"SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING_INDEX(RecordID,'-',-1) as Decimal)) FROM `QueriedEntityTable`");
String recordID = (query.getSingleResult() == null ?
null :
query.getSingleResult()
.toString());
This is being executed with an EntityTransaction in the doTransaction part. The part that is getting me with this though is that this is the first code to be executed within the doTransaction method, simplified below to:
updateOneToManyEntity1();
updateOneToManyEntity2();
entityManager.merge(parentEntity);
The entity it has a problem with "OneToManyEntity1" isn't even the table I'm trying to create the query on. I'm not doing any persist or merge up until this point either, so I'm also not sure what is supposedly causing it to be out of sync. The only database work that's being done up until this code is executed is just pulling in data, not changing anything. The foreign keys are properly set up in the database.
I'm able to get rid of this error by doing as it says and marking these relationships as Cascade.PERSIST, but then I get a MySQLContrainstraViolationException on the query.getSingleResult() line. My logs show that its doing some INSERT queries right before this, so it looks like its reaching the EntityManager.merge part of my doTransaction method, but the error and call stack point to a completely different part of the code.
Using EclipseLink (2.6.1), Glassfish 4, and MySQL. The entitymanager is using RESOURCE_LOCAL with all the necessary classes listed under the persistence-unit tag and exclude-unlisted-classes is set to false.
Edit: So some more info as I'm trying to work through this. If I put a breakpoint at the beginning of the transaction and then execute entityManager.clear() through IntelliJ's "Evaluate Expression" tool, everything works fine at least the first time through. Without it, I get an error as it tries to insert empty objects into the table.
Edit #2: I converted the nativeQuery part into using the Criteria API and this let me actually make it through my code so I could find where it was unintentionally adding in a null object to my entity list. I'm still just confused as to why the entity manager is caching these errors or something to the point that creating a native query is breaking because its still trying to insert bad data. Is this something I'd need to call EntityManager.clear() before doing each time? Or am I supposed to call this when there is an error in the doTransaction method?
So after reworking the code and setting this aside, I stumbled on at least part of the answer to my question. My issue was caused by the object being persisted prior to the transaction starting. So when I was entering my transaction, it first tried to insert/update data from my entity objects and threw an error since I hadn't set the values of most of the non-null columns. I believe this is the reason I was getting the cascade errors and I'm positive this is the source of the random insert queries I saw being fired off at the beginning of my transaction. Hope this helps someone else avoid a lot of trouble.
I use the following sql statement:
Keyword.where("id IN (#{params[:keyword_ids]})").order("find_in_set(id, '#{params[:keyword_ids]}')")
The Problem at this statement is that if "keyword id" hold the same id more than ones, the call returns it only ones.
But I need the same number(not fulfilled) as well as the same order(which is fulfilled with this statement) which occurs in the array, independent if the same id occurs more than ones.
How should I change that statement to fix.
Thanks, dot
Well, that's not a bug, it's a feature ;)
My first recommendation would be to sanitize your input. Passing params[:keyword_ids] directly to the database, despite the help that the Rails framework does, is prone to lead to some kind of vulnerability sooner or later.
Secondly, the easiest solution is probably to keep the query as is, convert the results to a map and map the input params to the result.
Sth like
keywords = Keyword.where('id IN (?)', checked_keyword_ids)
keyword_map = Hash[keywords.map { |kw| [kw.id, kw] }]
checked_keyword_ids.map { |id| keyword_map[id] }
I am having trouble sending a SQL statement through a DbContext using context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand().
I am trying to execute
CREATE TABLE Phones([Id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
[Number] [int],[PhoneTypeId] [int])
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Phones] ADD CONSTRAINT [DF_Phones_Id]
DEFAULT (newid()) FOR [Id]
GO
This fails with the error string
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ALTER'.
Incorrect syntax near 'GO'.
However running that exact statement in SSMS runs without errors? Any issues I need to resolve regarding the default constraint throught the DbContext. I have see problems with people using constraints and not having IsDbGenerated set to true. I am not sure how that would apply here though.
GO is not a part of SQL, so it can't be executed with ExecuteSqlCommand(). Think of GO as a way to separate batches when using Management Studio or the command-line tools. Instead, just remove the GO statements and you should be fine. If you run into errors because you need to run your commands in separate batches, just call ExecuteSqlCommand() once for each batch you want to run.
I know, necroposting is bad maner, but may be this post would save someone's time. As it was mentioned in Dave's post, GO is not a part of SQL, so we can create little workaround to make it work
var text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("initialization.sql");
var parts = text.Split(new string[] { "GO" }, System.StringSplitOptions.None);
foreach (var part in parts) { context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(part); }
context.SaveChanges();
In this case your commands would be splitted and executed without problems
Dave Markle beat me to it. In fact, you can change "GO" to any other string to separate batches.
An alternative implementation here is to use SMO instead of the Entity Framework. There is a useful method there called ExecuteNonQuery that I think will make your life a lot simpler. Here is a good implementation example.
I'm trying to create a text file that contains the value of a custom field I added on redmine. I tried to get it from an SQL query in the create method of the project_controller.rb (at line 80 on redmine 1.2.0) as follows :
sql = Mysql.new('localhost','root','pass','bitnami_redmine')
rq = sql.query("SELECT value
FROM custom_values
INNER JOIN projects
ON custom_values.customized_id=projects.id
WHERE custom_values.custom_field_id=7
AND projects.name='#{#project.name}'")
rq.each_hash { |h|
File.open('pleasework.txt', 'w') { |myfile|
myfile.write(h['value'])
}
}
sql.close
This works fine if I test it in a separate file (with an existing project name instead of #project.name) so it may be a syntax issue but I can't find what it is. I'd also be glad to hear any other solution to get that value.
Thanks !
(there's a very similar post here but none of the solutions actually worked)
First, you could use Project.connection.query instead of your own Mysql instance. Second, I would try to log the SQL RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info "SELECT ..." and check if it's ok... And the third, I would use identifier instead of name.
I ended up simply using params["project"]["custom_field_values"]["x"] where x is the custom field's id. I still don't know why the sql query didn't work but well, this is much simpler and faster.
