Remove unneeded code to get JDBC level in BrokeredConnection and BrokeredStatement classes

• Key: DERBY-3525
• Type: Improvement
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Assignee: Kathey Marsden
• Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
• Component/s: JDBC
• Affects Version/s: 10.5.1.1
• Fix Version/s: 10.3.3.0, 10.4.1.3, 10.5.1.1

Description

BrokeredConnection has a method called getJDBCLevel() whose only purpose is to provide a value that can be stored in BrokeredStatement.jdbcLevel. This field is only used once, in BrokeredStatement.createDuplicateStatement():

if (jdbcLevel == 2)
newStatement = conn.createStatement(resultSetType, resultSetConcurrency);
else
newStatement = conn.createStatement(resultSetType, resultSetConcurrency,
                    resultSetHoldability);

Since getJDBCLevel() only returns 2 if Java version 1.3 is used, and Derby doesn't support Java 1.3 any more, BrokeredConnection.getJDBCLevel() and BrokeredStatement.jdbcLevel could be removed.

It is not clear to me why the component includes "Network Client".
If it was not just a click too much, do you mind explaining how this affects the network client?

[Knut Anders Hatlen]

Thanks. Removed network client from components.

Should we just get rid of BrokeredConnection30 too?

[Kathey Marsden]

Attached is a patch for getting rid of jdbcLevel. It keeps BrokeredConnection30 for now.

I ran the xa tests. I'll run the full suite.

[V.Narayanan]

I think it would be OK to move BrokeredConnection30 to the base class
BrokeredConnection since support for java 1.3 is not there anymore. But
I guess this change will cascade down to other 30 classes too which I
think would be out of scope for this issue and should maybe done in another
JIRA.

For now I think the patch attached to get rid of jdbcLevel should suffice.

[Knut Anders Hatlen]

derby-3525_diff.txt looks good. +1 to commit.

I agree that BrokeredConnection30 should also be removed. Probably OK to do it as part of this issue. (Actually, I think most of the *30 classes could be removed now, but that's outside the scope of this issue.)

Merged to 10.4 and 10.3, marking this issue resolved.
