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

File Extensions 

NameDescription
.xmlExtensible Markup Language file format used to create common information formats and share both the format and the data using standard ASCII text.

XML Schema

Elements without min/max occurrences listed have the default values for cardinality, which are minOccurs="1" and maxOccurs="1"

Details of data fix elements are described in the table below. 

ElementPathXSD Line NumberDescription
DataFix/3The root element for the data fix
Description/DataFix9A description for the data fix being run
FixSQL/DataFix10The SQL which implements the data fix. It can be multiple statements delimited by a semicolon or slash
BackupSQL/DataFix11

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/DataFix12The JDBC connection string for the database. The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file
UserProperty/DataFix13User to connect to database with. The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file
PasswordProperty/DataFix14Password for the database user. The object attribute will be used if property is not specified in file
Validations/DataFix15The rule(s) used to validate the data fix before committing changes
Validation/DataFix/Validations18A single validation rule
Description/DataFix/Validations/Validation21A description for the validation rule
ValidationSQL/DataFix/Validations/Validation22Select query which is executed before and after the FixSQL is executed, and result is compared with before and after values. This must be one valid SQL statement, not followed by a semicolon
Environment/DataFix/Validations/Validation23The expected results defined by an environment
EnvironmentCode/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment26FlexDeploy environment code, or DEFAULT to apply to any deploy environment not explicitly specified
Before/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment27Contains results to check before FixSQL is executed
After/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment28Contains results to check after FixSQL is executed
UpdateCount/DataFix/Validations/Validation/Environment29Results to compare return of JDBC executeUpdate() of FixSQL. If the FixSQL contains more than one statement, it is the sum of the updated rows

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>

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

            <ValidationSQL>select case when o.order_total = l.line_item_total then 1 when o.order_total <> l.line_item_total then 0 end

                           (select order_id, sum(unit_price * quantity) as line_item_total 
                           from order_items where order_id = 1 group by order_id) l
                           where o.order_id = l.order_id</ValidationSQL>

                </After>
                <UpdateCount>

            </Environment>
        </Validation>
    </Validations>

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