Re: Serializing PreparedStatement, or: how do create a database history?

Hi,
I want to do the following and I hope you can give me hints on how to do this:


We have a Database (MS SQL over JDBC) which is not always necessary accessible. But this fact has to be transparent for the application which uses the db. If the db is not available, all updates/inserts and deletes must be saved (persistent on the harddisk!) and later be executed on the database (SQL select is not needed).
I first thought about serializing the PreparedStatement, but first of all it is not serializable, second, all status about the database is lost.
Simply saving the SQL string does not help, as there can be binary objects in the query which are set using the PerparedStatement.
As this is an extension to an existing program, and PreparedStatement is used there all over, building something around the PreparedStatement seems like the only solution.


If you have only the slightest suggestion on how this can be done, thanks a lot!

I would suggest creating a custom implementation of JDBC that wraps the JDBC driver you are using. This makes it transparent to the application. When the database is available, send requests to the wrapper. When it is not available, write requests to a file in a convenient format (I suggest plain text, not serialization).


HTH,
Ray
