This may sound silly, but are you sure the user you're using has permissions to do the updates you want? Not sure about postgres but I think some jdbc's require that the connection be defined as rw, maybe you should try adding readOnly="false" to your jdbc definition.

Here is my DIH configuration: <dataConfig> <dataSource name="jdbc" driver="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://${dataimporter.request.dbHost}:${dataimporter.req uest.dbPort}/${dataimporter.request.dbName}" user="${dataimporter.request.dbUser}" password="${dataimporter.request.dbPassword}" autoCommit="false" transactionIsolation="TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED" holdability="CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT"/> <document> <entity name='myEntity' dataSource='jdbc' pk='id' query=' ..... ' deltaImportQuery=' ..... ' deltaQuery=' ..... ' > </entity> </document> </dataConfig> I have tried two options for the deltaQuery: UPDATE "Global"."Projects" SET "prj_lastSync" = now() WHERE "prj_id" = '2'; <---- Throws a null pointer exception as described in the previous email The second option is a DB function that I am calling this way: SELECT "get_deltaimport_items" AS "id" FROM project.get_deltaimport_items(2, 'project'); The function inside executes the UPDATE query shown above and a SELECT query for the ids. The ids are returned ok, but the UPDATE has no effect on the database. Cheers! Juan M.
