How to pass session variables in JDBC url properly? - java

I have to increase group_concat_max_len.
I cannot do it by preparestatement, and also I cannot do it in mysql my.conf file.
I found on mysql docs that there is an option to pass session variables in url.
But there is no example, I tried to do it like that:
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://xxxx.xx.xx.xx/dbName?sessionVariables=group_concat_max_len:204800
and I have this exception:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ':204800' at line 1
And also I tried it like like this:
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://xxxx.xx.xx.xx/dbName?sessionVariables=group_concat_max_len,204800
because the official docs says:
sessionVariables
A comma-separated list of name/value pairs to be sent as SET SESSION ... to the server when the driver connects.
Since version: 3.1.8
Any ideas???

Try this:
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://xxxx.xx.xx.xx/dbName?sessionVariables=group_concat_max_len=204800

If you need to add more than one session parameter you can do it like this:
jdbc:mysql://localhost/database?sessionVariables=FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0&sessionVariables=SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0

The MySQL Connector/J Configuration Properties documentation has been updated since with a better description, especially when it comes to setting multiple system variables in the connection URL :
sessionVariables
A comma or semicolon separated list of name=value pairs to be sent as
SET [SESSION] ... to the server when the driver connects.
Since version: 3.1.8
Which results in URLs like this one :
jdbc:mysql://xxxx.xx.xx.xx/dbName?sessionVariables=group_concat_max_len=204800,bulk_insert_buffer_size=42
Semicolons can be used instead of commas. A mix of the two can be used within the same URL.
This will only work for system variables that have a SESSION scope (you can find out which ones can be set at SESSION-level by looking at the list of Server System Variables).
The connection will fail if the variable doesn't exist, if it is not a server system variable or if its scope is GLOBAL-only.

connection error with db2 jdbc

Can anyone offer a clue on how to diagnose the error listed below? Note, I CAN connect to this DB2 instance via DB2 connect, but not thru jdbc.
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: Unable to open a test
connection to the given database. JDBC url = jdbc:db2://dxxx_xxx.xxx.com:5000/XXXXX:deferPrepares=false, username = NNNNN. Terminating connection pool. Original Exception: ------

The error message is pretty self-explanatory:
Invalid database URL syntax
You must not have any spaces in the URL, and key-value pairs are separated with semicolons, not commas. Note that you must put a semicolon after the last value too.
jdbc:db2://dxxx_xxx.xxx.com:5000/XXXXX:deferPrepares=false;username=NNNNN;
Details can be found in the manual.
Take a look at this information taken from the DB2 documentation (added link of the reference below).

Heroku won't accept needed URL argument to prevent MySql zeroTimeBehavior error

I've developed a Play/Scala application that runs on my local MySql. But a needed database URL argument, zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull (Java TimeStamp) gets mangled by some further concatination of the URL that Heroku does and so my app can't get a connection to ClearDB (the Heroku MySql offering).
Here is my DB URL:
db.default.url="mysql://be32d43afc3cb7:c73c404d#us-cdbr-east-03.cleardb.com/heroku_6cf0eb306e78bc8?reconnect=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull"
and the subsequent Heroku version that it transmogrifies:
JDBC URL = jdbc:mysql://us-cdbr-east-03.cleardb.com/heroku_6cf0eb306e78bc8?reconnect=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&connectionCollation=utf8_general_ci
Something mysterious is going on with the ? and & deliminators.
Heroku says the error is caused by:
java.sql.SQLException: The connection property 'zeroDateTimeBehavior' only accepts values of the form: 'exception', 'round' or 'convertToNull'. The value 'convertToNull?useUnicode=yes' is not in this set.
So, is there some other way I can configure this argument? Without it, I get this error:
play.core.ActionInvoker$$anonfun$receive$1$$anon$1: Execution exception [[SQLException: Value '0000-00-00 00:00:00' can not be represented as java.sql.Timestamp]]
This strike a bell with anybody? Much thanks to anyone who can shed some light.
EDIT/SOLUTION:
Heroku also concatenates several args to the DB URL that they provide users. Because of Heroku's use concatenation of "?" before their own set of args, attempting to add my own args to the DB URL will not work. However I found a different solution which seems to work equally well.
SET sql_mode = 'NO_ZERO_DATE';
I put this in my table descriptions and it solved the problem of
'0000-00-00 00:00:00' can not be represented as java.sql.Timestamp

Call to DataSource.getConnection not returning the expected connection

I have the following code:
Hashtable env1 = new Hashtable();
env1.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
log.info("Executed step 1");
env1.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://myhost.com:9301");
log.info("Executed step 2");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env1);
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/mydatasource");
log.info("Excecuted lookup ="+ds);
conn = ds.getConnection();
I have the previous code in an standalone application that is connecting to WAS 6.1.0.3 in order to retrieve a connection from the datasource. The code is very straighforward, and I have seen the same code working in a different environment, but in this case when I call getConnection I get an exception. The datasource is WAS has the proper authentication alias set and when the connection is tested it works OK from the WAS side, but the previous code won't work.
If I change this line: conn = ds.getConnection();
to this: conn = ds.getConnection("username","password");
Then the code will work! But that's not what I want since the connections in the datasource should already have the credentials set. I was initially thinking this was a Sybase problem, but it's also happening with Oracle, so would rather say I have a problem with WAS.
If you are curious about the exceptions, for Sybase I get:
java.sql.SQLException: JZ004: User name property missing in DriverManager.getConnection(..., Properties).DSRA0010E: SQL State = JZ004, Error Code = 0

In both cases I won't the exception if I pass the credentials to the getConnection method
Thanks for your advice.
Short answer: external clients don't get to use the authentication alias data
Longer Answer:
From the WAS J2C connection factory documentation:
The alias that you configure for component-managed authentication does not apply to all clients that must access the secured resource. External Java clients with Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) access can look up a Java 2 Connector (J2C) resource such as a data source or Java Message Service (JMS) queue. However, they are not permitted to take advantage of the component-managed authentication alias defined on the resource. This alias is the default value that is used when the getConnection() method does not specify any authentication data, like user and password, or a value for ConnectionSpec. If an external client needs to get a connection, it must assume responsibility for the authentication by passing it through arguments on the getConnection() call.
It's been a long time since I've done anything with WebSFEAR^H^H^H^Hphere, but it looks to me that you have a configuration problem. There was a special screen where you'd create credentials (user/pass) and later you'd apply those credentials to the created data source. It looks like that your configured data source hasn't got credentials applied.
Even after defining the user/password values as custom properties I found that the connections for Oracle weren't working. After many days, I just found that the development server is running an old WAS 6.1 version, the problem I'm having was fixed in WAS 6.1.0.5: PK32838: J2CA0046E WHEN USING USING CUSTOM PROP PASSWORD ON DATASOURECE
I tried my code in a different WAS server with an updated WAS fix pack level and... it worked without introducing a single change in the code or in the configuration. So the solution is to upgrade the WAS server.
Thanks.

How do I make my Java application identify itself to Oracle on connection?

When my application connects to an Oracle database I want to be able to see by looking at the active sessions in the database that it is connected. Currently it identifies itself as "JDBC Thin Client" because that's the driver that I'm using, but other Java based applications that I have are somehow able to set this value to something more meaningful, like "SQL Developer". I thought it was a property of the Connection or the OracleDataSource, but I've not managed to find one that does the trick. Is this possible? In case it matters, I'm using Java 1.5, with Oracle 10g and the 10g thin driver.
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty("password","mypassword");
props.setProperty("user","myusername");
props.put("v$session.osuser", System.getProperty("user.name").toString());
props.put("v$session.machine", InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName());
props.put("v$session.program", "My Program Name");
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
Connection conn=
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:#myhostname:1521:mysid", props);
SQL>select username,osuser,program,machine
from v$session
where username = 'ROB';
USERNAME OSUSER PROGRAM MACHINE
--------- ----------- ------------------ -----------
ROB rmerkw My Program Name machine
At application level you can use the following methods to set client_info, module and action in v$session:
dbms_application_info.set_client_info
dbms_application_info.set_module
dbms_application_info.set_action
There is also an Oracle function:
dbms_application_info.set_client_info('Client Info');
which sets the ClientInfo column in v$session.
This might be useful if you only have access to the Connection rather than the underlying DataSource or DriverManager.
Since oracle jdbc 12.1 you can set some client-info values via jdbc api, i.e. you can do
connection.setClientInfo("OCSID.CLIENTID", "MyClientId");
for properties OCSID...
ACTION, CLIENTID, ECID, MODULE, SEQUENCE_NUMBER and DBOP
See https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/JJDBC/jdbcvers.htm#JJDBC29006
Setting PROGRAM doesn't work this way, you can do that as described in the accepted answer or somewhat easier by setting the System property "oracle.jdbc.v$session.program".
You need to define the connection property v$session.program in your data source, in such a way that that property will be added to each connection. How you do that depends on your data source implementation. The value you set the property to will appear in oracle's active session table.
Starting with 12.1 the setEndToEndMetrics is deprecated, you may use setClientInfo
see the documentation for 12.2 here
Here a snippet of the usage
// "conn" is an instance of java.sql.Connection:
conn.setClientInfo("OCSID.CLIENTID", "clientID");
conn.setClientInfo("OCSID.MODULE", "myModule");
conn.setClientInfo("OCSID.ACTION", "myAction");
You may see the setting in V$SESSION with this query of the relevant session
select MODULE, ACTION, CLIENT_IDENTIFIER from v$session where ...
but only after a next statement is executed with this connection. The call of setClientInfo triggers no extra roundtrip this information is passed whit the next call.
Note also that you must use the Oracle (unwrapped) conenction - Check this for reference.

Invalid Oracle URL specified: OracleDataSource.makeURL

I'm trying to connect to a local oracle database but I'm getting this cryptic error message:
Invalid Oracle URL specified: OracleDataSource.makeURL.
I'm pretty sure this is due to an error with the database connection parameters I'm passing, but really, this error message does not help me in any way. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
FYI: Code used to connect is below, except for the hardcoded strings this is what is used on our production environment and does work there.
OracleDataSource dataSource = new OracleDataSource();
dataSource.setServerName("localhost");
dataSource.setUser(userName);
dataSource.setPassword(password);
dataSource.setDatabaseName("orcl");
return dataSource.getConnection();
if you use setUrl (or if your container like glassfish does it)
make sure you use correct syntax
==== Notice the colon before # ====
jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:sid
or
jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521/servicename
The datasource class tries to parse it and gives cryptic error if syntax has issues
Surprisingly, after adding the following two lines to the code which created the connection, it worked.
dataSource.setPortNumber(1521);
dataSource.setDriverType("thin");
I don't understand why we did not have that problem before, but that may have something to do with my local install. My biggest beef is with the error message not giving any detail about what is wrong though.
For WildFly users (v14.0.1.Final currently).
You need to add additional parameters for DataSource:
DataSource -> Connection -> Connection Properties
driverType=thin (press Enter to complite).
Also doublecheck you use right type of DataSource. In my case problem was solved by creating XA DataSource and pass URL to parameter.
