Is there a solution to this cfqueryparam memory leak?

Updates:

  • I have submitted the bug to Adobe and referenced this SO question

  • In my real-world code where the problem occurred I decided to just remove my use of cfqueryparam. I am now using a custom function to format the param based on type. There are security and speed concerns that I will have to deal with but it gets the particular process working acceptably under current load.

  • In the future I am planning on going to process that pulls the data files into temporary tables in the database. I'll then perform operations on the data and transfer data to live tables using SQL as much as possible, instead of relying on ColdFusion


I am having a problem with looping over queries using cfqueryparam tags while inserting data. (I have not tested with select or update queries). The looping progressively takes up more memory that is not released until the request is done. However, the problem only occurs when looping over a query while in a function.

It appears to be very sensitive to the number of cfqueryparam tags used. In this example there are 15 values being inserts however in my code that actually needs this to work I am inserting an unknown number of values that can make the problem more severe.

Below is code that shows the problem. Give it a datasource name (tested on MSSQL) and it will create a tmp table and insert records as example with and without being in a function. Memory usage is display before, after the non-function loop, then after the in-function loop. It also requests garbage collection and waits 10 seconds before outputting memory info to ensure it is displaying info as accurately as possible.

In my experience with this particular test the in-function loop resulted in over 200mb of memory being used. In my real world uses it crashes ColdFusion :-(

Just to show that memory can be released during an operation, here is example code that builds up a larger struct and shows memory used before and after the variable is overwritten and garbage collected. In my run of this memory used after population is 118mb and after overwriting and garbage collection it is 31mb.

<cfset showMemory("Before struct creation")>
<cfflush interval="1">

<cfset tmpStruct = {}>
<cfloop from="1" to="1000000" index="i">
    <cfset tmpStruct["index:#i#"] = "testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue testvalue">
</cfloop>

<cfset showMemory("After struct population")>
<cfflush interval="1">

<cfset tmpStruct = {}>
<cfset showMemory("After struct overwritten")>

回答1:


Do you have debugging on in Administrator?

If so, even if you've got showdebugoutput="false", CF will be keeping debug information about all of those queries, and with that many queries, the debugging information could quickly build up.


Also, if you've really got 80,000 rows to insert, you probably want to be doing this a different way - e.g. generating an import script that runs directly against the DB, (without CF/JDBC getting in the way).




回答2:


Maybe multiple insert can help? This technique itself typically works faster, saving some time can help you save some memory.

Yes I've seen your note "inserting an unknown number of values", but this should work if you have constant number of fields/values in a single insterting batch.




回答3:


No idea if it will make a difference, but something to try - shrink the in-function loop, and loop round the function multiple times.

What this does with memory might help narrow down where it is being used up.

<cffunction name="funcTest" output="false">
    <cfargument name="from" />
    <cfargument name="to" />
    <cfset var i = 0>
    <cfset var testq = "">
    <cfloop from="#arguments.from#" to="#arguments.to#" index="i">
        <cfquery name="testq" datasource="#dsn#">
            ...
        </cfquery>
    </cfloop>
</cffunction>


<cfset BlockSize = 100 />
<cfloop index="CurBlock" from="1" to="#(InsertCount/BlockSize)#">

    <cfset funcTest
        ( from : CurBlock*(BlockSize-1) + 1
        , to   : CurBlock*BlockSize
        )/>

</cfloop>

I encountered a similar problem.

http://misterdai.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/when-not-to-use-cfqueryparam/

The approach depends on the few things. If you can trust the data, don't use cfqueryparam's, that'll reduce memory usage a lot. From there, minimize the SQL as much as possible. I was doing quite a bit of DB work per row, so I created a stored procedure instead. The big bonus in fighting memory usage was to buffer SQL calls to the database. Create an array, append your SQL to it, then every 50 rows (personal choice after testing) do an ArrayToList on the array, inside a CfQuery tag. This limits the database traffic to less, but larger, instead of many smaller ones.

After all of that, things worked for me. But I still think ColdFusion really isn't up to this type of task, more the domain of the database server itself if possible.




回答5:


My first guess would be to type the values in your cfqueryparam - as in type="CF_SQL_CHAR". Why would this help? I'm not sure, but I can guess that there would be additional overhead with a non-typed variable.




回答6:


Assuming you are using CF8... not sure if this happens in CF7...

Try turning off "Max Pooled Statements" (set it to zero) in your datasource "advanced settings"... I bet money your memory leak goes away...

That is where I have found the bug to be... this was causing all kinds of crashes on some CF servers until we found this... we are 100% more stable now because of this...

回答7:


try to prepend "variables." before each query inside of your cffunctions. I've had a similiar issue and this fixed it.

So change:

<cfquery name="testq" datasource="CongressPlus">

to

<cfquery name="variables.testq" datasource="CongressPlus">

Cheers,

Thomas

It's been well documented all over the community that CF will not release memory until after the request is finished. Even calling the GC directly has no effect on freeing up memory during a running request. Don't know if this is by design or a bug.

I haven't a clue why you would even want to do something like this in CF anyways. There is no reason for you to be inserting 80K rows into a database using CF, no matter which database engine you're using.

Now, if there is a reason that you need to do this, such as you're getting the data from say an uploaded CSV or XML file; MSSQL has a TON of better ways to do this and workarounds.

One approach that I have done over the years is to create a stored procedure in MSSQL that calls BCP or BULK INSERT to read a file that contains the data to insert.

The best thing about this approach is that the only thing CF is doing is handling the file upload and MMSQL is doing all the work processing the file. MSSQL has no problems inserting millions of rows using BCP or BULK INSERT and will be INFINITELY faster then anything CF can process.




回答9:


The way to prevent memory leaks from cfqueryparam in a large loop of queries was to not use cfqueryparam. However a broader answer is on avoiding CF's inefficiencies and memory leaks is to not use CF in these situations. I got the particular process to an acceptable level for the load at the time but in the long run will be rewriting it in another language, probably C# directly in the database engine.




回答10:


I have no idea if that would fix your problem but what I usually do when I have multiple inserts like this is, a loop of the SQL statement itself instead of the entire cfquery.

So instead of having :

<cfloop from="1" to="#insertCount#" index="i">
    <cfquery name="testq" datasource="#dsn#">
        ...
    </cfquery>
</cfloop>

I do :

<cfquery name="testq" datasource="#dsn#">
    <cfloop from="1" to="#insertCount#" index="i">
        ...
    </cfloop>
</cfquery>

So instead of having multiple call to the database you only have one big one.

I have no idea how this would affect your memory leak problem, but I never experienced any memory leaks doing it that way.
