"Stream Database operator - failure (SQL Server 2005)"

Hello,

I tried to connect to my SQL Server 2005 database with the Stream Database operator. The table is quite small with 100 datasets (the original purpose was to use this operator on very large tables) . I added an integer-key RM_Index just as it said in the description.
The connection works, but i get the following "Process Failed" message:

Database error occurred: Incorrect syntac near the keyword 'AS'. The JDBC driver has thrown ...

My Process as XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<process version="5.1.006">
 <context>
   <input/>
   <output/>
   <macros/>
 </context>
 <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.1.006" expanded="true" name="Process">
   <process expanded="true" height="564" width="332">
     <operator activated="true" class="stream_database" compatibility="5.1.006" expanded="true" height="60" name="Stream Database" width="90" x="45" y="30">
       <parameter key="connection" value="SQL_Server"/>
       <parameter key="table_name" value="tablename"/>
     </operator>
     <connect from_op="Stream Database" from_port="output" to_port="result 1"/>
     <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
     <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
     <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
   </process>
 </operator>
</process>
My latest Log entry:

Jun 24, 2011 2:23:53 PM INFO: No filename given for result file, using stdout for logging results!
Jun 24, 2011 2:23:53 PM INFO: Loading initial data.

          subprocess 'Main Process'

I would be glad if someone could help since it concers my bachelor thesis.


Greetings,

Peter

    Hi,

    to be honest I don't know why it's not working for you, it's working for me..
    Maybe try to manually set the id_attribute on the stream database operator to your id column.

    Regards,

    Hi Marco,

    thank you for your answer. I don't know how to change the id attribute manually. The only parameters for my Stream Database operator are: "define connection", "connection", "table name" and "label attribute". Is there another way to change this (besides to check and understand any java-code)?

    Strangely, the Error-Message-Box changed now (still same settings as before) to:
    " Database error occured: Incorrect syntax near 'AUTO_INCREAMENT'..."
    Maybe this helps.

    My conclusion was, that either I am doing something wrong, or RapidMiner doesnt work well with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the Stream Database operator. I was hoping for the first  ;).

    Greetings,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    the good old stream database operator - causing a lot of headache...

    Actually, the operator only works really well out of the box for mySQL or Oracle. In most other cases, you can make it work by providing an integer column in your table called "RM_INDEX". And sometimes even that does not help. Not sure about MS SQL though...

    Cheers,
    Ingo
