Hi,


I'm using Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_02, Java Persistence
implementation is toplink included with the server.
My Infomix version is IDS 11.50

The following Java Persistance query:

SELECT DISTINCT a.key1, a.key2, a.key3, a.key4, c.preference, ......
FROM Product a LEFT JOIN a.refSupHeader b LEFT JOIN b.refSup c
WHERE a.type = ?1
ORDER BY a.key1, a.key2, a.key3, a.key4, c.rowNb

for Informix is translated as:

SELECT DISTINCT t0.KEY1, t0.KEY2, t0.KEY3, t0.KEY4, t1.PREFERENCE,
.... FROM p_product t0, OUTER p_ref_sup_header t2, p_ref_sup t1
WHERE ((t0.TYPE = ?) AND ((t2.ID = t0.p_ref_sup_header_id) AND
(t1.p_ref_sup_header_id = t2.ID)))
ORDER BY t0.KEY1 ASC, t0.KEY2 ASC, t0.KEY3 ASC, t0.KEY4 ASC, t1.row_nb ASC
bind => [MAT]

what is totaly wrong. Infomix supports LEFT JOIN, why Java Persistance is
using old OUTER syntax?

The proper query syntax, generated by JP for other database servers is:

SELECT DISTINCT t0.KEY1, t0.KEY2, t0.KEY3, t0.KEY4, t1.PREFERENCE, ......
FROM p_product t0 LEFT OUTER JOIN p_ref_sup_header t2 ON (t2.ID =
t0.p_ref_sup_header_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN p_ref_sup t1 ON (t1.p_ref_sup_header_id
= t2.ID)
WHERE (t0.TYPE = ?) ORDER BY t0.KEY1 ASC, t0.KEY2 ASC, t0.KEY3 ASC,
t0.KEY4 ASC, t1.row_nb ASC
bind => [MAT]

The above query works properly in infomix database when executed in
dbaccess tool.
Is there a way to force Java Persistence to generate right query syntax
like above?

Thank you very match for any help.

I also use Eclipselink on top of Informix.

But even though the SQL syntax is old, as long as Informix supports it, it is not wrong. Are you actually receiving different results from the two queries?

Yes, result of the query is wrong - it doesnt load p_product records where
no record in p_ref_sup exists. Probably (?) because OUTER is missing in
front of "p_ref_sup t1 " in FROM clause of the generated query.

I have not run into problems so far. But I figure it should not be that difficult to copy-paste the generation code for, say, Oracle to the Informix class. Do you know since which version IFX supports the ANSI notations?

The InformixPlatform code for outer-joins is probably old, it use to be
required on Informix as it did not support the standard syntax.

To fix this create your own InformixPlatform subclass and override the
method,
isInformixOuterJoin() to return false.

Please log a bug to have this old syntax removed.

Wow. I'm always impressed with how well the code has been setup. I'll switch to the newer syntax as well.
