Regarding connection class in RethinkDb - database

I am not able to understand why am I getting this error stating that connection of type Connection is not initialized if anyone could help me out with it.
enter image description here

In your main method, you are writing
Connection connection; // connection is still null
UserService sut = UserService(r, connection);
But as you error message said : you cannot instantiate UserService with a connection variable that is null.
You must rework your code so your variable won't be null when you initialize the UserService

NpgsqlConnection : Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I am getting error 'Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.' when connecting to PostgreSQL db from .net console application. As far as I did R&D and tried different things, I found that it may be because of = in password as other connection string works fine that doesn't have = in password. Is there any way to pass = in password tried sending %3D instead of = but it didn't work. Password is abc=xyz. Issue looks like with Password=abc=xyz, tried changing it to Password=abc%3Dxyz as well. pgcon.Open(); gives this error.
string pgconnectionstring="Server=someserver.azure.com;Username=dev#postgres;Database=dbname;Port=5432;Password=abc=xyz;SSLMode=Require";
using (NpgsqlConnection pgcon = new NpgsqlConnection(pgconnectionstring))
{
pgcon.Open();
}
NpgsqlConnection doesn't have property password to be set from outside, Is there any way to handle = or other special chars or set password differently?
Issue was not because of =, It was because of DB name. Seems like DB name should be case sensitive. The actual db name is Field-Service. And I was setting it like Field-service, s in small which led to the issue. Though exception message led to wrong direction as it gave error connection closed by remote which generally comes in case of wrong password instead should have given something like DB doesn't exists.

Will NpgsqlConnection.Open throw an error if the port is closed?

I wrote a test and at the time it seemed that if I had
NpgsqlConnection connection = new NpgsqlConnection(<valid string with port #>);
connection.Open();
...
with the corresponding network port closed, then connection.Open() would throw an exception. Now the code is
using (NpgsqlConnection connection = new NpgsqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString))
{
connection.Open();
...
and I am getting feedback that this code may actually continue even if the port is closed. What is the behavior of NpgsqlConnection - is it guaranteed that connection.Open() will throw if the specified port is not opened?
I tried examining NpgsqlConnection.cs and NpgsqlConnector.cs but couldn't pin it down. Any help would be appreciated
Yes, NpgsqlConnection.Open() will throw an exception if PostgreSQL isn't running on the potty specified ("connection refused").
Adding a using does nothing more than dispose the connection at the end of the block, after the exception has already been thrown.

Script Component - ODBC exception password incorrect - package validation

I'm trying to insert some rows into Filemaker using Script Component. I followed this article Creating an ODBC Destination with the Script Component
When I edit the script here I set the connection string:
public override void AcquireConnections(object Transaction)
{
string connectionString;
//connectionString = this.Connections.FmConnection.ConnectionString;
odbcConn = new OdbcConnection("uid=someUID;Dsn=FM;pwd=somepassword");
odbcConn.Open();
}
I get the connection string from the this.Connections object and set it to the new OdbcConnection object. This does not work as I keep getting the exception. I tried setting the connection string manually as you can see above. I still get the exception.
In other parts of my package I use the connection manager to Filemaker and it works. Just not in this script component.
The exceptions I'm getting is:
Error at MyPackageName: [Filemaker] Password Incorrect
What is wrong?

JDBC DriverManager trying to use non specified Oracle driver

I am trying to connect to an Oracle Database using the java.sql.DriverManager in a JSF application. I am using a Tomcat v7 with ojdbc5.jar.
I have a very simple sample project that consists of nothing else than this piece of java code:
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:#DBSERV:DBPORT:DBSID";
String user = "account_admin";
String password = "my_assword";
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
connection.close();
} catch ..
...
Executed I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Infact the class specified there "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" is deprecated...and I can't change the Tomcat configuration. Therefore I specified "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" which loads just fine.
So the question is: Why does the DriverManager tries to load the "wrong" oracle driver, although I am loading another one?
I also tried as an alternative to Class.forName the following:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
That does not change anything though. I also checked for the registered drivers in the following way:
Enumeration<Driver> driverList = DriverManager.getDrivers();
while(driverList.hasMoreElements()){
Driver driver = driverList.nextElement();
System.out.println(driver.getClass().toString());
}
The output:
class sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
So the desired driver seems to be registered, no trace of the deprecated "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver".
Thank you for any help
My problem just disappeared when I restarted the container. I can't explain why that is though.

WCF service in WPF self host application crash when I throw a fault exception (async methods)

I have a service hosted in a WPF application with an async method with the Begin/end methods, and when I catch an exception in the service, I want to throw a faultException to warn to the client.
However, when I try to throw the faultException, the host application crash, shutdown suddenly.
In my repository, I catch the UpdateException, then, I create a custom exception, UniqueKeyException, that is throw to the caller. The caller is an auxiliar method that is called in the Begin method.
This auxiliar method, catch the UniqyeKeyException and only do a "throw", that is capture in the try/catch block of my end method. Here there is something that I don't understand, why in the end mehod this exception is catched in the block of AgregateException instead of the UniqueKeyException.
Well, anyway, in the catch block of the end method, in the AgregateException block, I check if the innerException is UniqueKeyException, if it is true, I create an object UniqueKeyArgs (a custom class with the information to send to the client), create a FaultException and finally do the throw FaultException. It is in this step, the throw, where the host application crash.
I think that I have all configure correctly, because my custom class UniqueKeyArgs is decorate as Datacontract and its properties as DataMember, in the app.config of my host application I configure the behavior to include exception details and in the contract I decorate it with faultContract.
Why the application crash?
My code is the following:
REPOSITORY
public List<Usuers> updateUsers(List<Users> paramUsers)
{
....
catch(UpdateException ex)
{
SqlException innerEx = (SqlException)ex.InnerException;
//Code 2627 is Unique Key exception from SQL Server.
if (innerEx != null && innerEx.Number == 2627)
{
//I create the conditions of searching
ConditionsUsers conditions = new conditions();
conditions.UserName = (Users)ex.StateEntries[0].Entity).userName;
//Search for the existing user
Users myUser = getUser(conditions);
string message = "the user " + conditions.userName + " exists.";
throw new UniqueKeyException(message, myUser);
}
throw;
}
SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION
//This is my auxiliar method, called in the Begin method.
private submitUpdates()
{
....
catch(UniqueKeyException ex)
{
//The code enter here
throw;
}
}
public IAsyncResult BeginUpdateUsers(List<users> paramUsers, AsyncCallback callback, object state)
{
Task<List<Users>> myTask= Task<List<Users>>.Factory.StartNew(p => sumbmitUpdates(paramUsers), state);
return myTask.ContinueWith(res => callback(myTask));
}
public List<Users> EndUpdateusers(IAsyncResult result)
{
try
{
return ((Task<List<Users>>)result).Result;
}
//Why agregateException and not is catched in the UniqueKeyException ???
catch(AgregateException ex)
{
if (innerExceptions[0] is UsuariosValorUnicoException)
{
//I assign manually the data to debug, to discard other problems.
Users myUser = new Users();
myUser.UserName = "Jhon";
myUser.Password = "pass123";
UniqueKeyArgs myArgs = new UniqueUserArgs("unique key error", myUser);
FaultException<UniqueKeyArgs> myException = new FaultException<UniqueKeyArgs>(myArgs);
//Crash here, in the throw myException
throw myException;
}
}
throw;
}
MY CONTRACT
[FaultContract(typeof(UniqueKeyArgs))]
IAsyncResult BeginUpdateUsers(List<Users> paramUser, AsyncCallback callback, object state);
List<Users> EndUpdateUsers(IAsyncResult result);
Crash when I throw myException in the End method.
I see in this post that the solution is catch the exception in the host application too, not only in the service object. However, this solution uses Application.ThreadException, that belong to System.Windows.Forms namespace, and I am using a WPF application.
How could I send the exception to the client from a service hosted in a WPF application?
Thanks.
EDIT1: well, I am use a try/catch block in the line where I throw the exception and I see that the error is that I have not indicated a reason, so when I create my FaultException I do:
FaultException<UniqueKeyArgs> myException = new FaultException<UniqueKeyArgs>(myArgs, new FaultReason("DummyReason");
In this case, the exception message is "DummyReason", the message that I set in the FaultReason, so it says me nothing. The FaultException is not throw, and throw the generic exception to the client.
In this case the host application does not shutdown, but close the connection with the client and I have to reconnect.
It seems that the problem is the creaton of the FaultException, but I don't see the problem.
#Roeal suggests that perhaps is only possible to use faultException with synch methods, but in this link I can see an example in which is used with async methods. I have seen others examples, is not the unique.
Thanks.
EDIT2: I solve my problem. My problem is that in the FaultException, T is an object that have a property that was a self tracking entity, and this is a problem, if I am not wrong, I only can use basic types as properties of the exception.
Then, in the exception, I have implmemented ISerialize. It's needed to be able to send the information to the client, without this, the client receives an exception.Detail with null properties.
Did you also declare the synchronous operation in your service contract? In that case, maybe this helps:
If fault contracts are defined on the service operation contract, the FaultContract attribute should be applied only on the synchronous operations.
