Hi Tom,
here is a more specific test case:
@Entity @Table(name="ROLE")
class Role {
@Id @Column(name="ID", length=20, nullable=false)
String id
@Column(name="PARENT_ID", length=20, nullable=true)
String parentId
@Column(name="NAME", length=255, nullable=false)
String name
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn( name="PARENT_ID", referencedColumnName="ID",
updatable=false, insertable=false)
RoleType parentRole
}
I have created a tool that imports data from XML file. In this case the XML
would look like:
<data>
<Role id="MAIN" name="Main Role" />
<Role id="USER" name="User" parent_id="MAIN"/>
<Role id="ADMINISTRATOR" name="Administrator" parent_id="MAIN" />
</data>
The MAIN role has NULL in PARENT_ID. The rest of the records have MAIN as a
parent role.
The order of the insert statements is vital for the successful import of the
data.
I have implemented a XML parser that creates new entities and persists them in
the order they are coming from the XML file.
HOWEVER
Hibernate inserts the data in the correct order - e.g. MAIN, USER, ADMINISTRATOR.
EclipseLink however would execute the insert statements in a random order
every time, e.g. USER, MAIN, ... which causes a FK error.
Flushing the session on each persist is not a solution.
EclipseLink needs to execute the database statements in the same order as the
persist() and merge() calls.

Deyan

Can you provide a specific test-case where the order actually causes a problem?
The JPA specification allows a persistence provider to order statements in the
way that is most efficient for it. This, in fact, is essential to solving the
very problem you are worried about. i.e. A JPA provider has to be able to
compute an order of statements that allow foreign key constraints to be
properly satisfied. As long as your entities are configured so that JPA is
made aware of all your constraints, the order of statements should not cause
any problems of that type.
The power of this functionality is that when you are writing your JPA code,
you do not have to think about the database constraints, you just manipulate
your objects and the order will be taken care of.

Well, the order that EclipseLink chooses is RANDOM :)
It is a fairly simple example, only 1 entity with only 1 column.
I'd really expect that the INSERT statements are executed in same order as the
persist() calls.
My real-life use case is importing data from an XML file into the database.
There are relations and FKs in my database and when exported and re-imported the
order of the XML entries, persist() calls and INSERT statements is critical.
EclipseLink basically inserts each XML entry randomly. Currently the only
workaround is to flush after each persist call. It could work for few hundred
calls,
but not for few thousand.
JPA says nothing about the order of the database operations. When writing the
spec they probably have assumed that it would be logical to execute the database
operations in the
same order as the persist() or merge() calls.
This is not the case of mixed remove(), persist() and merge() calls, in our case
we have only persist() calls and the case is very simple.
Best regards,
Deyan

If you want to know the order in which the rows were inserted I use @OrderColumn
(eg. in combinantion with INDEX(..) function in a JPQL for example).
I think that EclipseLink can choose the order in which it commits the entities
to the database... (I haven't read the JPA spec so this is an assumption)

Hi guys,
I am experiencing a weird imho behaviour of Eclipselink and I'd really like
to hear some other opinions .
I have a pretty simple entity with assigned IDs;
@Entity@Table(name="ROLE")
public class Role implements Serializable {
privatestaticfinallongserialVersionUID= 1L;
@Id @Column(name="ID", length=20, nullable=false)
public String id;
}
I am executing the following operations:
public static void main(String[] args) {
EntityManagerFactory emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("EclipseLinkJPATest");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
Role r = new Role();
r.id = "TEST" + i;
em.persist(r);
}
em.getTransaction().commit();
em.close();
emf.close();
}
And I'd expect that the INSERT queries will be executed in the same order as
the persist() method is called:
TEST0, TEST1, TEST2 , etc.
But in the real life the insert queries are in a random order every time:

As you can see the order if insert queries is:
TEST1, TEST6, TEST2, TEST7, TEST4, etc.
That is really weird and wrong ! :)
I dug a lot and could not find a solution.
Please help :)
Thanks in advance,
Deyan
