Incremental reading does not work for SQLite and MySQL

CloverDX Platform

Hi,
we tried incremental reading with two databases both having the same table and
values. Incremental reading does not work in both cases, however the error we
get is not the same. Is the configuration bad or is there a problem with the
databases or CloverETL? We are using CloverETL Designer Version: 3.3.0.063M1.

Node DB_INPUT_TABLE configuration:

<Node dbConnection="JDBC1" enabled="enabled" guiHeight="67" guiName="Source" guiWidth="128" guiX="131" guiY="294" id="SOURCE" incrementalFile="${DATAIN_DIR}/dbinc.txt" incrementalKey="lastkey=MAX(id)!2" sqlQuery="select $id:=source.id,$value:=source.value from source where id &gt; #lastkey;" type="DB_INPUT_TABLE"/>

Content of incremental file dbinc.txt is:

#Wed Mar 21 16:31:07 CET 2012
lastkey = 2

SQLite

Content of our test database is:

sqlite> select * from source;
id          value
----------  ----------
1           100
2           30
3           40
4           10
5           50

Error message for SQLite version 3.7.6.3

ERROR [WatchDog] - Node SOURCE finished with status: ERROR caused by: java.sql.SQLException: SQLite only supports TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY cursors

Error message for MySQL Community Server 5.5.16

ERROR [WatchDog] - Node SOURCE finished with status: ERROR caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorEx
ception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the ri
ght syntax to use near ':=source.id,$value:=source.value from source where 0=1' at line 1

Instead of the error we would have expected the ids greater than 2 and their corresponding values in the first run.

If we replace the incremental key #lastkey in the query with 2 it works well. However then we have no incremental reading of course.

Hi,
we now also tried incremental reading with MS SQL Server 2008 R2 and it did not work either.
We only changed the database connection. All databases have the same table with the same content.

Error message for MS SQL Server 2008 R2

ERROR [WatchDog] - Node SOURCE finished with status: ERROR caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid pseudocolumn "$id".

Hi Mark,

it is probably bug, see issue I reported: https://bug.javlin.eu/browse/CL-2239

As workaround please use implicit fields mapping - as described here: http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … table.html (“Query Statement without Mapping”)
