15. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation15 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Security Considerations Database authentication SQL –Always requires a user ID and password to establish a connection ABL –Does not specifically require a user ID and password to establish a connection ID and passwords

16. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation16 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC SQL Authentication (Who am I?)  Case 1: Users have not been created (no rows in _User table) Password validation is not enabled No check is performed at connection time No error message at connection time ID and passwords scenarios

17. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation17 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC SQL Authentication (Who am I?)  Case 2: Users exist in the OpenEdge RDBMS (rows exist in _User table) Password Validation is enabled Check is performed at connection time Valid users defined by a DBA Error message if login is incorrect / invalid: –“Access Denied (8933)” ID and passwords scenarios…cont’d

18. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation18 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Comparing ABL & SQL Security Systems ABLSQL Security modelGRANT Default DBAn/a SYSPROGRESS Default security administrator “*”n/a Default table access“*” Default field access“*”

19. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation19 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Encountering errors  Possible reason for this: No authorization privileges Schema scope Access denied (Authorization failed) (7512)

20. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation20 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Authorization – What can I do?  SQL follows GRANT security model By default, a connected userid is not allowed to do anything. Exceptions: - the DBA account (full operations) - the TABLE owner  DBA controls operation privileges with GRANT / REVOKE syntax

21. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation21 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Authorization – What can I do?  Database wide (system admin or general creation)  For specified Tables or Views –Where ‘privilege’ is: { SELECT | INSERT | DELETE | INDEX | UPDATE [ ( column, column,... ) ] | REFERENCES [ ( column, column,... ) ] } Privileges – Syntax: GRANT (2 types) GRANT { DBA, RESOURCE } TO user_name [, user_name ], …; GRANT { privilege [, privilege ], … | ALL } ON table_name TO { user_name [, user_name ], … | PUBLIC } [ WITH GRANT OPTION ];

22. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation22 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Encountering errors  Possible reasons for this: Not authorized Schema scope Table/View/Synonym not found (7519)

23. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation23 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC What is a Schema? PUB schema PUB Customer table Inventory bwerne Mysports database AuxCat Database

24. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation24 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC  What is a default Schema? A user has by default a schema attached to their ID SET SCHEMA { 'string_literal'}  OpenEdge ABL uses one schema – ‘PUB’  Another option: Synonyms: Schemas CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM customer FOR pub.customer; SET SCHEMA ‘pub’

25. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation25 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC  Solutions: or Schema example SELECT count(*) FROM pub.customer; SET SCHEMA ‘pub’; SELECT count(*) FROM customer; Table/View/Synonym not found (7519) SELECT count(*) FROM customer;

26. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation26 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC  Four level naming convention  Example  ABL has 3 level naming convention 4 Part Naming – Multi-Database Query Fully Qualified Names catalog.schema.table.column-name SELECT Pub.Customer.CustNum, SportsPrimary.Pub.Customer.Name, SportsAux1.Pub.Order.OrderNum … catalog.table.column-name

27. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation27 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics SQL is a standard, but each vendor has it’s own dialect

28. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation28 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics - Quoting  Hyphenated names:  Solution: quoting Non-SQLStandard names SELECT cust-num FROM PUB.Customer; SELECT “cust-num” FROM PUB.Customer; Column CUST cannot be found (13865)

29. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation29 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Overstuffed fields - error  ABL allows more data than column definition Column abc in table PUB.Ranking has value exceeding it’s max length. SELECT abc from PUB.Ranking;

30. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation30 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics - Overstuffed fields Strategies for managing:  Dbtool : percentage option ($DLC/bin/dbtool) 1. SQL Width & Date Scan w/Report Option 2. SQL Width Scan w/Fix Option Choice: 2 : (0=single-user 1=self- service >1=#threads)? 3 Padding % above current max: 25 : (Table number or all)? all : (Area number or all)? all

31. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation31 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics - Overstuffed fields Strategies for managing  ABL client startup parameter -checkwidth.exe –checkwidth n where "n" can be one of the following: 0 — Ignore _width value. Default. 1 — Store the data and generate a warning. 2 — Do not store data and generate an error.

32. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation32 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics – Arrays / Extents  Selecting array columns as a whole Result: semi-colon separated varchar value 102332.67;330002.77;443434.55;333376.50  Selecting array column individually – SQL99 Result: numeric value 102332.67 SELECT quarterlySales from PUB.MySales; SELECT quarterlySales[1] from PUB.MySales;

33. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation33 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC OpenEdge Specifics – Arrays / Extents Strategies:  Using views to break out array elements Result: numeric values 102332.67 330002.77 443434.55 333376.50 CREATE VIEW PUB.QuarterSales AS SELECT quarterlySales[1], quarterlySales[2], quarterlySales[3], quarterlySales[4] FROM PUB.MySales; SELECT * FROM PUB.QuarterSales;

35. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation35 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC What is the cost? Database without statistics Customers Orders SalesHist Distributors Parts Suppliers OrderLines Employees ABC Corp DB

36. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation36 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Basic Performance - What is the cost? Database with Update Statistics Customers Orders SalesHist Distributors Parts Suppliers OrderLines Employees ABC Corp DB

37. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation37 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC  All Statistics: Table Cardinality, indexes and all columns  Statistics - particular table Query Performance: Update Statistics UPDATE TABLE STATISTICS AND INDEX STATISTICS AND [ALL] COLUMN STATISTICS; UPDATE STATISTICS syntax UPDATE TABLE STATISTICS AND INDEX STATISTICS AND [ALL] COLUMN STATISTICS FOR pub.customer;

38. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation38 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Query trees : Defined  relational algebraic tree representation (query tree / execution tree ) Result set Database access Data

39. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation39 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC Basic Performance – Query Plans  Query Plans Located in VST _SQL_QPLAN SELECT SUBSTRING("_Description",1,80) FROM pub."_Sql_Qplan“ WHERE "_Pnumber" = (SELECT MAX( "_Pnumber" ) FROM pub."_Sql_Qplan" WHERE "_Ptype" > 0 ); Viewing query plan constructed by cost-based optimizer

40. © 2008 Progress Software Corporation40 OPS-6: Beginners Guide to OpenEdge SQL via ODBC or JDBC  Simple single table select “select … from pub.customer where custnum between 1000 and 1100 [NoExecute]” Query plan – what to look for SELECT COMMAND. PROJECT [66] ( | PROJECT [64] ( | | PUB.CUSTOMER. [0]( | | | INDEX SCAN OF ( | | | | CustNum, | | | | | (PUB.CUSTOMER.CustNum) between (1000,1100)) table index index keys, predicates
