Stored Procedures MYSQL and Rails 2.3.2

Search yielded only ancients results with a lot of dead links that didnt
help me any further.

In the past it has been a pretty big issue to incorperate stored
procedures into Rails. By now, has 2.3.2 in 2009 made any changes to
this?

How would one go about in 2.3.2 to call a stored procedure and work with
its result set? (Be it a genuine object, or a hash)

Model.connection.execute “CALL storedProc()”
Above line will give the error that it cant return results for the given
context.

My stored proc returns column values from several models and some
dynamicly calculated columns not found in any model.

I’ve still had to hack the mysql_adapter to set a flag upon opening
the MySQL database connection in order to be able to use SPs:

module ActiveRecord
class Base
def self.mysql_connection(config)

# last line of method - add 65536 flag
ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter.new(mysql, logger, [host,
username, password, database, port, socket, 65536], config)
end
end
end

This has worked for me, and I have not read about a fix in 2.x to
handle this.

This works for me:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(“call SP_name (#{param1},
#{param2}, … )”)

Adding the 65536 flag seems to allow me to gather a resultset from the
stored procedure, yet my commands go out of sync. Running any query
(even a simple Model.first) after running a Stored Proc that returns
results gives this error:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Commands out of sync; you
can’t run this command now: call scores(DATE(‘2009-08-24’), 3282, 1);

Thanks, but that link did not help me.

For MYSQL it doesn’t even work. Stored procedures are called through
‘CALL’, not ‘EXECUTE’.

Also as I wrote in my third post, I already get the stored procedure to
execute, the problem seems to lie in the closing / freeing of the result
set.

Calling .free on the returned result set does not solve anything. Tested
on both the latest 5.0 and 5.1 MySQL databases with the newest 2.8.1
mysql gem

Try extending mysql_adapter.rb and add this method:

  def select_sp(sql, name = nil)
    rows = select(sql, name = nil)
    while (@connection.more_results?())
      @connection.next_result()
    end
    return rows
  end

Then call the SP using this method from your controller/model where
the sql param is: “call my_sp…”

Fogive me if I’m entering this conversation in the middle, but I’m
having problems using stored procedures with the latest patch (on rails
2.3.4) and with rails 2.3.5 (which, from my understanding, has the mysql
patch included).

When I use find_by_sql(“call sp()”), I get the error:

Mysql::Error: Commands out of sync; you can’t run this command now: SHOW
FIELDS FROM sometable

When I use connection.execute or connection.select_all to call the
stored procedure, I get a hash returned. That’s great that it works, but
I really need an AR result set, so I can use the getter methods already
peppered throughout my application.

If find_by_sql is not supposed to work with stored procedures, is there
at least a way to convert the hash returned by the connection.execute
method to an AR result object?

I’ve submitted a patch to Rails 2.3.4 fixing this problem - any support
for my ticket is appreciated!

A correction to my previous post…

When I use connection.execute(“call sp()”), I get a MySql::Result
returned.

#3151 MySQL adapter update to enable use of stored procedures - Ruby on Rails - rails

Sorry for the multiple updates. Last one until I hear good news…

It doesn’t matter what method I used to call the stored procedure from
Rails - I always get the command-out-of-sync error. The stored procedure
returns data just fine. But any call to mysql after that returns the
error.

From the script/console:

$ script/console

It looks like CALLing a stored procedure will drop a ActiveRecord
connection. Maybe a “reconnect! if !active?” can be a quick patch…
