Query for the allowed values in a constraint - java

I want to extract values from a CHECK constraint on a database table. The code is:
CONSTRAINT Shop_check_serviceType CHECK (service_type IN ('food or drink', 'entertainment', 'retail'))
In Postgres 12 there is a column named consrc in pg_catalog.pg_constraint. But I use Postgres 14 and I don't know how to extract the values there. I have tried to search the manual without success.

Use the dedicated function pg_get_constraintdef() to reverse-engineer the SQL-DDL code of constraint definition.
SELECT pg_get_constraintdef(oid)
FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint
WHERE contype = 'c' -- CHECK constraint
AND conrelid = 'public.my_table'::regclass -- your table name here
AND connname = 'shop_check_servicetype'; -- lower-cased?
If you did not double-quote the constraint name "Shop_check_serviceType" it has been converted to lower-case.

BTW, the (redundant) column consrc existed up to Postgres 11 and had already been dropped from pg_catalog.pg_constraint in Postgres 12. pg_get_constraintdef() reproduces what used to be in that column.
Quoting the release notes of Postgres 12:
Remove obsolete pg_constraint.consrc column (Peter Eisentraut)
This column has been deprecated for a long time, because it did not
update in response to other catalog changes (such as column
renamings). The recommended way to get a text version of a check
constraint's expression from pg_constraint is pg_get_expr(conbin, conrelid). pg_get_constraintdef() is also a useful alternative.

Cannot apply Flyway migration for a PostgreSQL table

In my Java app, I have the following migration file:
-- code omitted for brevity
create table if not exists demo_table
(
id bigint not null,
"company" varchar(50) not null,
"name" varchar(50) not null
);
create unique index if not exists demo_table_uuid_company_key
on demo_table (uuid, "company");
create index if not exists demo_table_name_company_key
on demo_table ("name", "company");
Although I can run the sql part part part or at a time on PostgreSQL query window, when running my Java app, it throws the following error:
"Unable to create index (name, company) on table demo_table: database column 'name' not found. Make sure that you use the correct column name which depends on the naming strategy in use (it may not be the same as the property name in the entity, especially for relational types)"
I tried many thing e.g. removing the related migration row from flyway_schema_history table, delete indexes on demo_table, etc. But still the same error. If I try to remove double quotes ("") from name, it gives checksum error. So, as the name is reserve word, I use with double quotes. How can I fix it?
On the other hand, I am not sure if I should change these parameters on application.yml:
spring:
flyway:
enabled: true
jpa:
hibernate:
ddl-auto: update
Some minor issues with the script:
Missing comma on first column of create.
This column is also called id but the index references uuid.
Resolving this allowed the script to work perfectly for me (with the quotes as you have them)
If you make these changes and get a checksum error, please run flyway repair

Oracle NUMBER(precision,scale) in HSQLDB

In a unit test I am trying to generate a table in an in-mem HSQLDB, the table contains a column with the definition: #Column(name = "xxx", columnDefinition="NUMBER(10,0) default 0"). NUMBER is not recognized by HSQLDB (version 2.3.3), so I have added a script running this statement first: CREATE TYPE NUMBER AS NUMERIC;. Now it seems to recognize NUMBER, but I get the error unexpected token: ( instead. I cannot edit the column definition, so wow do I correctly map Oracle NUMBER(10,0) to NUMERIC? If I remove the precision and scale from NUMBER it seems to work.
You do not need to define the NUMBER type, as it is supported by HSQLDB.
HSQLDB supports Oracle syntax in one of its compatibility modes. Run this statement to enable it:
SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX ORA TRUE

Java update when data exists and insert if doesnt [duplicate]

In MySQL, if you specify ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and a row is inserted that would cause a duplicate value in a UNIQUE index or PRIMARY KEY, an UPDATE of the old row is performed. For example, if column a is declared as UNIQUE and contains the value 1, the following two statements have identical effect:
INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c=c+1;
UPDATE table SET c=c+1 WHERE a=1;
I don't believe I've come across anything of the like in T-SQL. Does SQL Server offer anything comparable to MySQL's ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE?
I was surprised that none of the answers on this page contained an example of an actual query, so here you go:
A more complex example of inserting data and then handling duplicate
MERGE
INTO MyBigDB.dbo.METER_DATA WITH (HOLDLOCK) AS target
USING (SELECT
77748 AS rtu_id
,'12B096876' AS meter_id
,56112 AS meter_reading
,'20150602 00:20:11' AS time_local) AS source
(rtu_id, meter_id, meter_reading, time_local)
ON (target.rtu_id = source.rtu_id
AND target.time_local = source.time_local)
WHEN MATCHED
THEN UPDATE
SET meter_id = '12B096876'
,meter_reading = 56112
WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT (rtu_id, meter_id, meter_reading, time_local)
VALUES (77748, '12B096876', 56112, '20150602 00:20:11');
There's no DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE equivalent, but MERGE and WHEN MATCHED might work for you
Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Data by Using MERGE
You can try the other way around. It does the same thing more or less.
UPDATE tablename
SET field1 = 'Test1',
field2 = 'Test2'
WHERE id = 1
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0
INSERT INTO tablename
(id,
field1,
field2)
VALUES (1,
'Test1',
'Test2')
SQL Server 2008 has this feature, as part of TSQL.
See documentation on MERGE statement here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510625.aspx
SQL server 2000 onwards has a concept of instead of triggers, which can accomplish the wanted functionality - although there will be a nasty trigger hiding behind the scenes.

Hibernate populate primary key using database trigger

I am using Hibernate 4.1.0.Final with Spring 3
I have the following in Entity class
#Id
#Column(name = "PROJECT_NO")
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.TABLE)
private String projectNumber;
Is it possible to use database trigger to populate the primary key of a table? Or I have to use a CustomGenerator for this?
When I tried the above I have the following exception
org.hibernate.id.IdentifierGenerationException: Unknown integral data type
for ids : java.lang.String
Database trigger doesn't have any sequence, it is using
SELECT NVL (MAX (project_no), 0) + 1 FROM projects
Edit 1
#GeneratedValue(generator="trig")
#GenericGenerator(name="trig", strategy="select",
parameters=#Parameter(name="key", value="projectNo"))
The above throws the following exception
Hibernate: select PROJECT_NO from PROJECTS where PROJECT_NO =?
java.lang.NullPointerException
exception in save null

The problem is that you're using a String instead of a numeric value. Use a Long instead of a String, and your error will disappear.
AFAIK, you can't use a trigger to populate the ID. Indeed, Hibernate would have to retrieve the generated ID, but since it doesn't have an ID, I don't see how it could read back the row it has just inserted (chicken and egg problem).
You could use your SQL query to get an ID before inserting the row, but this strategy is inefficient, and has a risk of duplicate IDs in case of concurrent inserts. So I wouldn't use this strategy. You tagged your post with Oracle. I suggest you use a sequence. that's what they're for.
As of this on the Hibernate 3.3 documentation page you can do that.
select
retrieves a primary key, assigned by a database trigger, by selecting
the row by some unique key and retrieving the primary key value.

Identity column in java db

Is there a way to add an identity column into java DB using netbeans.
the table is PAYMENTS
column name is ID
First hit on google for 'java db identity':
http://www.herongyang.com/JDBC/Derby-DML-Primary-Key-IDENTITY-Column.html
In other words use:
GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY
or
GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY
As part of your primary key declaration.
