Oracle SQL from Java using Spring returns nothing, and doesnt throw exception

I have a Java code that uses Spring to connect and execute sql on an Oracle DB. I have a query that takes long time to execute (20 minutes or sometimes more). I have a Executor Service and it has a Thread that will execute the query and process the results. If i put a timeout to the DB and Spring, the开发者_JS百科 system will time out correctly but will return nothing else before that. If i run the query from SQL plus, it will return values. The time out is set up 3 times what it takes to execute on SQL Developer.

Any ideas!?

Assuming that your Spring query is using bind variables, are you using bind variables when you execute the query in SQL*Plus/ SQL Developer? Or are you using literals?

What version of Oracle are you using?

Have you checked to see whether the query plans for the two environments are different?

20 minutes for a query in Oracle? I'll bet you don't have appropriate indexes on the columns in your WHERE clause.

The dead giveaway is to do an EXPLAIN PLAN on the query. If you see a TABLE SCAN, take appropriate measures.

If you can run the same query in SQL*Plus and see it return in a reasonable time, then I'm incorrect and the problem is due to something else that you did in Java code.

I don't see why you need a separate thread for a query. I'd run the code straight, without a thread, and see how it behaves. If you aren't indexed properly, add some; if the query brings back too much data, add WHERE clauses to restrict it. You've taken extraordinary measures without really understanding what the root cause is.
