[CDO] Delete objects completely from database (turn off versioning) [message #533018]

Hi.

When I remove objects from a list that is backed up by CDO, the object are not really deleted in the database. It is just not visible anymore when accessing the list and in the database "version" is changed to "-2". I don't need the versioning stuff. I need the objects completely removed from the database. This was done by default in an older release. How do I enable it again (resp. disable the versioning? I already set Props.SUPPORTING_AUDITS and Props.SUPPORTING_BRANCHES to "false". I am using DBStore + H2 database with CDO.

Regards,
Kai

Hi Kai,

Generally these negative versions have been introduced to DBStore while
we added branching support. With branching enabled there is an important
difference between an object having no revision *yet* in a branch versus
an object having no revision *anymore* in a branch. In the first case
the framework must consult the baseline of the branch while in the
second case the object has been explicitely deleted in that branch.

While this is important for branching, we realized that there is a
certain impact also on non-branching mode. Without this extra
infromation a client can not know this difference, even though it always
operates on the implicit main branch. I.e. each such object access will
trigger a server round trip just to find out (again) that the object
does not exist (yet or anymore). So it was meant as kind of a protocol
and caching optimization.

If you don't like this feature in non-branching/auditing mode we could
discuss in a bugzilla whether and how we can make that configurable.

Cheers
/Eike

Eike,

wouldn't it be enough to use HorizontalNonAuditMappingStrategy?

@Victor: It seems that this is not enough as I create my mapping by using CDODBUtil.createHorizontalMappingStrategy(false).

@Eike: So when do these data entries get deleted in the database? My app has many store and remove operations. So if any removed object stays in the database the database gets very very large over time.
I also query the database directly by using our sql query api. And now it takes additional where clauses to filter out the removed objects as they still exist in the database.

Here is the Bugzilla enhancement request: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312670

Thanks,
Kai

No, it is a (new) "feature" of the HorizontalNonAuditMappingStrategy.

IIRC never.

We'll se in the bugzilla that you've submitted what we can do.

That would be acceptable, but the DB size impact should be better
considered by HorizontalNonAuditMappingStrategy.
