I have an issue trying to perform bulk load using named pipe on SybaseIQ 15.4. The code is C++ and turns on Windows.
At the end of the bulk, after flushing the buffer (FlushFileBuffers
), when I try to disconnect the named pipe (DisconnectNamedPipe
), the running LOAD TABLE query
crash with an "I/O Error on file \\.\pipe\pipename"
although the doc says:
"The pipe writer must call FlushFileBuffers( ) and then DisconnectNamedPipe( ). (If you do not, Sybase IQ reports an exception from hos io::Read( ).) This issues a PIPE_NOT_CONNECTED error, which notifies Sybase IQ that the pipe was shut down in an orderly manner rather than an uncontrolled disconnect"
Note that if I remove the DisconnectNamedPipe
, the bulk load is fine
Here is a resume of the code, Thank for your help
hPipe = CreateNamedPipe(strPipeName, PIPE_ACCESS_OUTBOUND, PIPE_TYPE_BYTE, 255, 65536, 65536, 100, NULL);
ConnectNamedPipe(hPipe, NULL);
// in another thread: LOAD TABLE myTable (...) USING CLIENT FILE strPipeName ...
WriteFile(hPipe, ...);
FlushFileBuffers(hPipe);
DisconnectNamedPipe(hPipe); // I/O Error on file \\.\pipe\pipename
CloseHandle(hPipe);
It was a Sybase IQ bug. Using 15.2 or using the last EBR for the 15.4, the DisconnectNamedPipe works fine
