I am trying to use the prepared statements in ruby with pg gem. This is how my statement looks like
conn.prepare("insert_values", "insert into " + objectName + "(" + headerStr + ") values (" + prep_values + ")")
conn.exec_prepared("insert_values", arr)
I keep getting the error
Prepared Statement insert_values already exists.
How Do i Fix this?? Thanks
Try to run:
conn.exec("DEALLOCATE name_of_prepared_statement")
In your example:
conn.exec("DEALLOCATE insert_values")
Simple test and it is working in my irb:
1.8.7 :001 > require 'rubygems'
=> true
1.8.7 :002 > require 'pg'
=> true
1.8.7 :003 > conn = PGconn.connect(:host => 'localhost', :port => 5912, :user => 'test', :dbname => 'test' )
=> #<PGconn:0x7fe6ac703970>
1.8.7 :005 > conn.prepare("insert_values", "select * from data where id < $1")
=> #<PGresult:0x7fe6ac6b2e58>
1.8.7 :006 > conn.prepare("insert_values", "select * from data where id < $1 and id > $2")

This is a better way reusing prepare()
, avoid prepared statement "my_statement" already exists
:
sql = "select * from my_table where id = $1"
begin
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.prepare('my_statement', sql)
rescue PG::DuplicatePstatement => e
end
pg_result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.exec_prepared('my_statement', [my_table_id])
