[CDO] What does CDO_VERSION -2 signify? [message #903101] Wed, 22 August 2012 01:29 Go to next message

Hi,

When I deleted a model object from the CDO server then looked at the object's table to see if it was gone I found that the original table entry for the object was still there and a second entry has been added for the same CDO_ID but with the CDO_VERSION set to -2. The second entry also seems to be empty of any values as if values like strings have been released. What does this entry signify and will the object get purged at a later time? Is there a setting to perform immediate deletes?

Thanks,
Warwick

Hi Warwick,

I think you've hit:

312670: [DB] Delete objects completely from the database in non-branching mode
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312670

It's really very annoying and quite old but apparently noone has found the time to address it, yet ;-(

Cheers
/Eike

Hey Eike,

Thanks for the bug reference. I read the bug description and it was mentioned that the behaviour of not deleting the entry (and signifying it as version -2) is a desirable behaviour for the branching implementation, correct? Why is that? It was inferred in the description but not explained. If that's so then won't the CDO server database only ever continue to grow until it becomes too large to manage?

I'm not using branching and so don't really need those entries. Would there be any problem with my removing those entries using an sql script e.g. Regularly remove all rows for any cdo id that has a -2 version? Or is there a better way to manually remove them? Will the CDO server have any issues with my removing table entries that are deleted outside of the cdo client/server session?

Thanks,
Warwick

Yes.

> Why is that? It was inferred in the description but not explained.
In branching mode objects that have been deleted in branch X can be "resurrected" by merging them from a branch (point)
Y where they're still alive. IIRC the revision caches need to distinguish between the two situations (1) object has been
deleted and (2) object has never existed. I'm not 100% sure anymore, though.

Yes, I think that's the case even for auditing.

I think that should be okay for nonauditing (which includes non-branching).

I don't think so. You may note that I'm "thinking" a lot here. Finding all this out for sure is almost identical to
addrressing the bug I've cited ;-)
