Database upgrade issue from RT 3.6.3 to RT 3.8.4

Hello All

I have recently upgraded my application from RT 3.6.3 to 3.8.4. Application
has seems to be upgraded correctly but when I have upgraded database. It has
shown me that database upgrade is successful. And I have also been able to
log in system but whenever I tried to see the basics of any tickets or
custom fields of any ticket RT has gone into infinite loop of query and
seems to have been never returned from it when I checked in logs it has
shown me this error

I don't know what kind of error is this and also my upgrade database command
was completed successfully. Can any one suggest me what is the problem. And
how to correct and what I am missing

Thanks & Regards

A good idea is when you get errors like these in your rt.log is to cut
and paste the sql statement into sqlplus and see if it will give you an
error message that is more clear then rt.log

SELECT main.* FROM Attributes main WHERE (main.Content = '3') AND
(main.Name = 'BasedOn') AND (main.ObjectType = 'RT::CustomField')
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB

As you, hopefully, can see, the * is under main.Content = '3' and if you
know Oracle SQL a bit then it is obvious that you can't do '=' on a
CLOB. So this qualifies as a bug.

Are you sure you're on 3.8.4 because I posted to rt-devel about
something like it but that was for 3.8.6 where they overhauled
hierarchical customfields and I found that converting from old to new
resulted in something like this.

Re: Database upgrade issue from RT 3.6.3 to RT 3.8.4 [In reply to]

Hello Joop

As per your guessing you are right I am facing problem of corruption in sql
query when I upgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.8.6 application is working fine but
when I want to look at page where custom fields are or want to see the page
where tickets basics are there. I am not able to go that page and RT doesn't
seem too returned with that page and goes in unending loop of query firing
and also I get the query which I posted to you which is not firing as per
your suggestion. So can you can help me in how to fix this problem I am not
been able to find any solution for it.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

I'm sorry but that is something that changed in RT and I'm not able to
help you there. Basically what I wrote to rt-devel is that probably
there is a mix up in column names and the query should read:

SELECT main.*
FROM Attributes main
WHERE (main.OBJECTID = '221')
AND (main.Name = 'BasedOn')
AND (main.ObjectType = 'RT::CustomField')

instead of:

SELECT main.*
FROM Attributes main
WHERE (main.Content = '221')
AND (main.Name = 'BasedOn')

Hello Joop

Well its okay . But still thanks a ton for guiding me for this. I was just
thinking that I might have not been upgraded database correctly. But thanks
for letting me know about real problem.

Re: Database upgrade issue from RT 3.6.3 to RT 3.8.4 [In reply to]

Hi Joop

I have one problem regarding RT database. We have very minor amount of data
in RT u can say 5gb overall but we still are facing problem with particular
updation of records when we have try to find what is cause then we came to
know that we have attachments table in RT which alone is taking 4gb of chunk
of data apart from overall data. And because of this any updation query when
hits attachments table takes a hell lot of time and our customer feels RT is
slow like tortoise and not helping them much in doing there day to day
activities and they are irritated while using RT. Can you can suggest me how
I can manage these attachment table particularly so that even when data
increases significantly we do not suffer from latecy while updation.

Waiting for a valuable answer from your side

Thanks & Regards
