JDBC Object Types - Data Fixes

XML files containing one or more data fix sql statements, sql statements to back up data, and validation statements used to determine whether the data fix should be committed or rolled back.

Object Type Identification

  • If a file has .xml extension, then it is considered a data fix file

3

The root element for the data fix

Description

/DataFix

FixSQL

/DataFix

10

The SQL which implements the data fix. It can be multiple statements delimited by a semicolon or slash

BackupSQL

/DataFix

11

SQL to perform necessary backup of data before executing FixSQL. This can be one or more statements delimited by a semicolon or slash

Include ${{FD_PROJECT_VERSION}} in the title of your backup table to easily identify it after execution

ConnectStringProperty

/DataFix

12

The JDBC connection string for the database.Ā The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file

UserProperty

/DataFix

13

User to connect to database with. The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file

PasswordProperty

/DataFix

14

Password for the database user.Ā The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file

Validations

/DataFix

15

The rule(s) used to validate the data fix before committing changes

Validation

/DataFix/Validations

18

A single validation rule

Description

/DataFix/Validations/Validation

21

A description for the validation rule

ValidationSQL

/DataFix/Validations/Validation

22

Select query which is executed before and after the FixSQL is executed, and result is compared with before and after values.Ā This must be one valid SQL statement, not followed by a semicolon

Environment

/DataFix/Validations/Validation

23

The expected results defined by an environment

EnvironmentCode

/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment

26

Before

/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment

27

Contains results to check before FixSQL is executed

After

/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment

28

Contains results to check after FixSQL is executed

UpdateCount

/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment

29

Results to compare return of JDBC executeUpdate() of FixSQL. If the FixSQL contains more than one statement, it is the sum of the updated rows

Operators

N/A

42

Complex type containing list of accepted operators to be used in validations

Data Fix Source Examples

The first example is a simple data fix that updates one row of a table, then verifies only the expected row is updated.

Product Price Fix
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <DataFix xmlns="http://flexagon.com/database/datafix"> <Description>Fix list price of product ID 47809</Description> <FixSQL>update product_list set list_price = 150 where product_id = 47809;</FixSQL> <BackupSQL>create table product_list_bkp as (select * from product_list)</BackupSQL> <Validations> <Validation> <Description>Make sure product_id = 47809 has a list_price of 150</Description> <ValidationSQL>select count(*) from product_list where list_price = 150 and product_id = 47809</ValidationSQL> <Environment> <EnvironmentCode>DEV</EnvironmentCode> <Before> <Equals>0</Equals> </Before> <After> <Equals>1</Equals> </After> <UpdateCount> <Equals>1</Equals> </UpdateCount> </Environment> </Validation> </Validations> </DataFix>

This example updates a row on the order_header table, then validates that the order_item total matches the updated order_header total.

Order Header Fix

This example is a data fix that updates the price of multiple products, then verifies the amount of items affected by this change.
