Hi. I'm writing an application to analyse a MySQL database, and I need to execute several DMLs simmultaneously; for example:
// In ResultSet rsA: Select * from A;
rsA.beforeFirst();
while (rsA.next()) {
id = rsA.getInt("id");
// Retrieve data from table B: Select * from B where B.Id=" + id;
// Crunch some numbers using the data from B
// Close resultset B
}
I'm declaring an array of data objects, each with its own Connection to the database, which in turn calls several methods for the data analysis. The problem is all threads use the same connection, thus all tasks throw exceptios: "Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction"
I believe there is a way to write the code in such a way that any given object has its own connection and executes the required tasks independent from any other object. For example:
DataObject dataObject[0] = new DataObject(id[0]);
DataObject dataObject[1] = new DataObject(id[1]);
DataObject dataObject[2] = new DataObject(id[2]);
...
DataObject dataObject[N] = new DataObject(id[N]);
// The 'DataObject' class has its own connection to the database,
// so each instance of the object should use its own connection.
// It also has a "run" method, which contains all the tasks required.
Executor ex = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
for(i=0;i<=N;i++) {
ex.execute(dataObject[i]);
}
// Here where the problem is: Each instance creates a new connection,
// but every DML from any of the objects is cluttered in just one connection
// (in MySQL command line, "SHOW PROCESSLIST;" throws every connection, and all but
// one are idle).
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
