Database update error. The wrong number of database rows were processed.

[Sergey]

Hello !

I'm facing an issue where I want to change the value in one of the cell of an SQL table editor.

The row is already there (generated via business rule), but I just want to edit a cell of this row. When I hit save, I get the message "Database update error. The wrong number of database rows were processed".

It only happens with this row that has been inserted by a business rule. I am able to change the value of all rows except this one. Also, I don't have any business rule running when I save my datatable.

Strangely, I get the same error message if I try to delete the row ...

How to solve this situation ?

Regards,

The rule might have left a row lock...? If you're working locally, you could try rebooting the whole environment (Onestream and SQLServer). If not, sounds like one for Support to look into.

Thanks Jack, you're awesome !

The error was because there was no primary keys, I have added an "ID" column as the first column on my datatable, and now I don't have this issue anymore. Something to keep in mind when working on data table !

Many thanks !

Sergey, Jack,

is there a workaround if the table does not have a PK? I don't have the privilege to add one.

In theory you could add one dynamically in the rules that retrieve and save data, although it's a lot of work.

One thing to note is that primary keys are only mentioned in documentation in relation to multi-selection; if you have that enabled, you could try renouncing that and seeing if it removes the problem.

If that's still not working, the only way is to contact Support and/or eventually file on IdeaStream.
