Duplicate Hand Loop [wine]

[plexiq]

Hi,

i am running PokerTracker in wine. HUD & Import works well, most of the time. Great so far

However, there is a major bug:
When i try to import a hand that is already in the database, PT3 will get caught up in some endless loop, trying to insert the hand into the db.

In the postgresql logfiles, i can see PT trying to insert the very same hand over and over, obviously failing every time because of the hhs-unique_hand_no / thhs-unique_hand_no constraints. I removed these 2 constraints, and things work perfectly fine after that. But obviously, having duplicate hands in the database isnt really a good long-term solution. I'm really hoping you guys can look into fixing this.

Minor annoyance:
When starting PT3, i get an error message like 80% of the time, telling me PT3 refuses to start while debugger is running. Other 20% of the time it starts fine.

Greets,
Helmuth

maybe if you can isolate the rogue hh[s] and forward them to the support here via a ticket...

regards the debugger error; comment out this line: shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll' # (change requires restart)

in postgresql.conf and restart the postmaster...

Thanks for the fast reply.

About the HH:
Any HH will cause the hang if a hand of the file is already in the database. Also, this is not a pokersite specific problem.

Concerning the debugging error:
The shared_preload_libraries setting is already commented out in my postgres installation.

In case anyone else is trying to run PT3 in wine, here is some temporary fix for the duplicate hands:

I am still working with 2 of the unique constraints removed, in order to prevent the hang mentioned above. I am using the query below to purge duplicate hands from the database (cashgame only):

Code: Select all

select hs1.id_hand into temporary table dupes
from holdem_hand_summary hs1, holdem_hand_summary hs2
where hs1.hand_no=hs2.hand_no and hs1.id_hand>hs2.id_hand;

delete from holdem_hand_summary where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_histories where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_combinations where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_detail where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_statistics where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);

select distinct hhps.id_session into temporary table corruptsessions
from holdem_hand_player_statistics hhps, dupes d where hhps.id_hand=d.id_hand;

update holdem_table_session_summary set
cnt_hands=t.cnt_hands, cnt_hands_won=t.cnt_hands_won, cnt_ttl_players=t.cnt_players,
amt_pot=t.amt_pot, amt_won=t.amt_won, amt_rake=t.amt_rake, amt_mgr=t.amt_mgr
from
(
select hhps.id_session, count(*) as cnt_hands,
sum(CASE WHEN flg_won_hand=true THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as cnt_hands_won,
sum(amt_pot) as amt_pot, sum(amt_won) as amt_won,
sum(amt_rake * (CASE WHEN flg_won_hand=true THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) as amt_rake,
sum(amt_mgr) as amt_mgr,
sum(cnt_players) as cnt_players
from holdem_hand_player_statistics hhps, holdem_hand_summary hhs, corruptsessions cs
where hhps.id_session=cs.id_session and hhs.id_hand=hhps.id_hand group by hhps.id_session
) as t
where holdem_table_session_summary.id_session=t.id_session;

drop table corruptsessions;
drop table dupes;


Side note:
I noticed "cnt_ttl_players_flop" of table holdem_table_session_summary is always "0" in my database. Is it supposed to be like this?

I have the same problem (hang on duplicate hands) even though I don't run PT3 in Wine (but in Vista).

Which version of PT3 are you running?
What version of Postgres?
Is this for every duplicate hand, or a particular hand?

Please enable logging, reproduce the problem and submit your PokerTracker.log to the
Support system , and link to this thread.

I'm using the Beta 15, but had the same problem with Beta 14, using postgressql 8.4, running under vista, any duplicate hand does it, and i've submitted a ticket already, which i'm in a process of updating.

Thanks,

I figure i ll update my post above. The original query i posted was actually a bit mixed up.

Temporary workaround for the hang:
First, delete the 2 unique constraints and replace them with normal indices:

Code: Select all

DROP INDEX "hhs-unique_hand_no";
DROP INDEX "thhs-unique_hand_no";
CREATE INDEX "hhs-hand_no" on holdem_hand_summary(hand_no);
CREATE INDEX "thhs-hand_no" on tourney_holdem_hand_summary(hand_no);


You only have to run above code once. This removes the hang, but PT will now import duplicate hands into the database.

To remove all duplicates from your database, run:

Code: Select all

select hs1.id_hand into temporary table dupes
from holdem_hand_summary hs1, holdem_hand_summary hs2
where hs1.hand_no=hs2.hand_no and hs1.id_hand>hs2.id_hand;

select distinct hhps.id_session into temporary table corruptsessions
from holdem_hand_player_statistics hhps ,dupes d where hhps.id_hand=d.id_hand;

delete from holdem_hand_summary where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_histories where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_combinations where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_detail where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);
delete from holdem_hand_player_statistics where id_hand in (select id_hand from dupes);

update holdem_table_session_summary set
cnt_hands=t.cnt_hands, cnt_hands_won=t.cnt_hands_won, cnt_ttl_players=cnt_players,
amt_pot=t.amt_pot, amt_won=t.amt_won, amt_rake=t.amt_rake, amt_mgr=t.amt_mgr
from
(
select hhps.id_session, count(*) as cnt_hands,
sum(CASE WHEN flg_won_hand=true THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as cnt_hands_won,
sum(amt_pot) as amt_pot, sum(amt_won) as amt_won,
sum(amt_rake * (CASE WHEN flg_won_hand=true THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) as amt_rake,
sum(amt_mgr) as amt_mgr,
sum(cnt_players) as cnt_players
from holdem_hand_player_statistics hhps, holdem_hand_summary hhs, corruptsessions cs
where hhps.id_session=cs.id_session and hhs.id_hand=hhps.id_hand group by hhps.id_session
) as t
where holdem_table_session_summary.id_session=t.id_session;

drop table corruptsessions;
drop table dupes;


You can do this whenever you think dupes have been imported (PT3 should be closed). It deletes all duplicates from the database, and updates the session-summaries, etc accordingly.
