The problem is that the platform crashes the moment it touches the first bad date, and there may be lots of them scattered across different tables.

The idea is simple:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Find all date fields in the database.</li>\n<li>Build one giant query against those fields to look for dates beyond 1C's limit.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>So yes, this query generates another query. Very normal behavior. Run the generated query, and you get the full picture: a list of tables containing invalid dates. After that, it's just engineering work — inspect the tables and decide what to do. In our case, bad dates sometimes show up in totals and turnovers, so we can just delete those rows and recalculate totals using the standard tools.</p>\n<p>Why do this at the DBMS level? Because 1C itself can't really help here — as a reminder, the platform crashes as soon as it touches the bad records. That includes reads, not just writes. Also, in this case, going directly against the database is simply faster and more convenient.</p>\n<p>The other day I rewrote the same <a href=\"https://gist.github.com/vkostyanetsky/5990a16caacc4a9057b577c6a5694512\" target=\"_blank\">query for MS SQL</a>. It turned out longer — because, well, MS SQL likes to make you earn it — but the idea is exactly the same.</p>\n<p>If you want to use it, keep this in mind:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <code>_Fld626</code> field in the query text is the Fresh separator. In your database it may have a different name, or it may not exist at all.</li>\n<li>The query is written for a database that uses a 2000-year offset. If your database does not use that offset, you'll need to adjust the condition accordingly — see <code>DATEADD()</code>.</li>\n<li>I added the XML output trick (<code>FOR XML</code>) to stop SSMS from truncating the generated mega-query. That seemed faster than messing around with type casts. The side effect is that before running the generated query, you need to replace <code>&amp;gt;</code> with <code>&gt;</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n            </div>\n          </div>\n          \n        </article>\n\n",

Video is always more accurate than memory, and clicking \"Start Recording\" in <a href=\"https://obsproject.com\" target=\"_blank\">OBS</a> is the cheapest way to not lose some random-but-important detail.</p>\n<p>The downsides are obvious, though: you can't quickly grasp the gist of a meeting from a video, searching through it is basically impossible, it eats disk space like it's bulking season, and it's painfully easy to accidentally capture something private. To partially compensate, I used to jot down key points in bullet form during the meeting, and later either throw them into a task tracker or write a mini-summary for myself: who I met with, what we discussed, what decisions we landed on. If I forgot something or missed details, I'd double-check the video.</p>\n<p>But this method isn't perfect either. Even a rough outline steals focus from the actual meeting. And some \"oh right, that detail matters\" moments only reveal themselves when it's already too late.</p>\n<p><img alt=\"Forgot\" src=\"https://kostyanetsky.me/notes/autosummary/forgot.jpeg\"/></p>\n<p>So I ended up with a better approach: extract the meeting audio from the video, turn it into text (with a neural net), then turn that transcript into a detailed meeting summary (with another neural net). Yes, it's neural nets all the way down.</p>\n<p>The easiest way to rip the audio is with <a href=\"https://www.ffmpeg.org\" target=\"_blank\">ffmpeg</a> (a command-line utility for working with audio/video). Here's an example (mono, 16 kHz sampling rate + loudness normalization):</p>\n<pre>\nffmpeg.exe -y -i \"D:\\video.mkv\" -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 -af loudnorm -c:a pcm_s16le \"D:\\audio.wav\"\n</pre>\n<p>As for speech-to-text: I experimented with <a href=\"https://alphacephei.com/vosk/\" target=\"_blank\">Vosk</a> + <a href=\"https://github.com/benob/recasepunc\" target=\"_blank\">recasepunc</a>, but... Yeah, no. Let's just say I'd rather not relive that experience. Meanwhile <s>Boromir</s> <a href=\"https://openai.com/index/whisper\" target=\"_blank\">Whisper</a> (OpenAI's speech recognition model) installs in the background in about 10 minutes:</p>\n<pre>\npy -3.10 -m venv .venv\n.\\.venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1\npip install setuptools wheel\npip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118\npip install openai-whisper\n</pre>\n<p>Example run:</p>\n<pre>\nwhisper \"D:\\audio.wav\" --model medium --language Russian --output_format txt\n</pre>\n<p>The result is a plain text transcript you can shove into any chatbot and get a fairly coherent summary. Sure, you still need to proofread it — fix mistakes and hallucinations, rephrase a couple things — but it's still way better than trying to write notes live.</p>\n<p>And that’s basically the whole method.

    "text": "autosummary 8 february 2026 · work ai i started recording all my meetings back in 2020 — at least, that’s what my own notes say. video is always more accurate than memory, and clicking \"start recording\" in obs is the cheapest way to not lose some random-but-important detail. the downsides are obvious, though: you can't quickly grasp the gist of a meeting from a video, searching through it is basically impossible, it eats disk space like it's bulking season, and it's painfully easy to accidentally capture something private. to partially compensate, i used to jot down key points in bullet form during the meeting, and later either throw them into a task tracker or write a mini-summary for myself: who i met with, what we discussed, what decisions we landed on. if i forgot something or missed details, i'd double-check the video. but this method isn't perfect either. even a rough outline steals focus from the actual meeting. and some \"oh right, that detail matters\" moments only reveal themselves when it's already too late. so i ended up with a better approach: extract the meeting audio from the video, turn it into text (with a neural net), then turn that transcript into a detailed meeting summary (with another neural net). yes, it's neural nets all the way down. the easiest way to rip the audio is with ffmpeg (a command-line utility for working with audio/video). here's an example (mono, 16 khz sampling rate + loudness normalization): ffmpeg.exe -y -i \"d:\\video.mkv\" -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 -af loudnorm -c:a pcm_s16le \"d:\\audio.wav\" as for speech-to-text: i experimented with vosk + recasepunc , but... yeah, no. let's just say i'd rather not relive that experience. meanwhile boromir whisper (openai's speech recognition model) installs in the background in about 10 minutes: py -3.10 -m venv .venv .\\.venv\\scripts\\activate.ps1 pip install setuptools wheel pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 pip install openai-whisper example run: whisper \"d:\\audio.wav\" --model medium --language russian --output_format txt the result is a plain text transcript you can shove into any chatbot and get a fairly coherent summary. sure, you still need to proofread it — fix mistakes and hallucinations, rephrase a couple things — but it's still way better than trying to write notes live. and that’s basically the whole method. the only thing left is writing a simple script so you don’t have to run two commands manually every time. if you’re on windows and you can't be bothered to vibe-code, you can grab my script and tweak it. the script finds the first .mkv in its folder, runs it through ffmpeg + whisper, and saves the result back into the same folder. if you use it: note that it runs via cuda (cpu works too, just much slower), and it stores downloaded whisper models not in the default cache, but inside the current python virtual environment folder. (if you really want, you can wire up an api call or point it at some local model via lm studio — but for my personal setup i decided: nope, that's already too much engineering for a lazy win)",

    "text": "slow removal of fresh areas 3 august 2025 · 1с work a colleague noticed that on one of our fresh instances, deleting data areas had become painfully slow. dug into the metrics: delete from t1 from _datahistorymetadata t1 where t1._metadataid = ? and t1._isactual = 0x00 and not ( t1._metadataversionnumber in ( select t2._metadataversionnumber as metadataversionnumber_ from _datahistoryversions t2 where t2._historydataid in ( select datahistorylatestversions1.datahistorylatestversions._historydataid as historydataid_ from datahistorylatestversions1.datahistorylatestversions t3 where datahistorylatestversions1.datahistorylatestversions._metadataid = ? ) ) ) each of these queries was reading around 20gb. what's happening is mostly clear: the platform is trying to delete an area's data history, but the janky db query causes a full scan over the whole history table across all areas instead of using an index. someone on dmitrovskaya got lazy again. so we were losing between 30 seconds and a half an hour per operation. wanted it faster. fix: create nonclustered index ix_datahistorylatestversions1_metadataid on dbo._datahistorylatestversions1 (_metadataid) include (_historydataid) with (drop_existing = off, online = off); create nonclustered index ix_datahistoryversions_metadataversionnumber on dbo._datahistoryversions (_metadataversionnumber) with (drop_existing = off, online = off); deletion cost predictably dropped ~99%. if you're going to repeat this on your side: technically this violates the license agreement, you've been warned and all that. there's a risk the platform will trip over the new indexes during future restructurings (especially on the \"new\" schema). better to have a ready script to drop the index, and then (after restructuring) put it back.",

Delete the duplicate records” pops up. The platform does not offer any clear way to find such records.</p>\n<p><img alt=\"The data history metadata table contains duplicate records. Delete the duplicate records\" src=\"https://kostyanetsky.me/notes/data-history-duplication/error.png\"/></p>\n<p>The problem can be solved at the database level. The table referenced by the error is _DataHistoryMetadata. It contains metadata versions of each object for which data history is being maintained. This allows the platform to understand what attributes the object had at any point in time if the data history is maintained for the object.</p>\n<p>How does it work? Well, when the list of an object’s attributes changes (for example, an attribute was added to the catalog), the platform writes its metadata: specifically, it adds a new entry to _DataHistoryMetadata and stores in it the current list of object attributes, as well as the version number of this list (for example, when history is enabled for an object, the first version of metadata is saved, when adding some attribute, the second version is saved, and so on).</p>\n<p>The platform also puts a mark in the created record that this particular version of the object is the most actual, and then removes this mark from the version that was marked as actual before.</p>\n<p>So, the problem is that the platform sometimes forgets to take the last step, and two versions appear in the table at once, marked as current. The Designer understands this but cannot do anything.</p>\n<p>The solution follows from the algorithm above: you need to find conflicting versions and revoke the mark of actuality from the one that is older. It is better to use queries: data history is often enabled for a bunch of objects, and the list of their attributes is constantly changing — in general, there will be so many versions in the table that the devil will break his leg.</p>\n<p>If you also encountered this problem and are therefore reading this text, you can use the <a href=\"https://gist.github.com/vkostyanetsky/6496c67e2b2fd3d064c4cafd16da0b79\" target=\"_blank\">queries</a> that I wrote:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>get-issues.sql checks that there is an issue: it looks for metadata versions that are also marked as actual.</li>\n<li>fix-issues.sql removes the actuality mark from those versions that are actually outdated.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Both queries are written for Microsoft SQL Server. If you use PostgreSQL, then <a href=\"https://gist.github.com/vkostyanetsky/75665ce04247e900743604eb386d1889\" target=\"_blank\">here they are</a> for this DBMS.</p>\n<p>The queries will require a slight adaptation to a specific database: they use the _fld626 field, which is the data separator. In your _DataHistoryMetadata table, this field may be called differently, so you need to update its name to the current one.

    "text": "non-unique metadata 8 june 2024 · 1с postgresql ms sql once again, i came across a nasty bug when the platform broke the data history metadata table. outwardly, it looks like this: you update the database configuration, and when you try to restructure, the error “the data history metadata table contains duplicate records. delete the duplicate records” pops up. the platform does not offer any clear way to find such records. the problem can be solved at the database level. the table referenced by the error is _datahistorymetadata. it contains metadata versions of each object for which data history is being maintained. this allows the platform to understand what attributes the object had at any point in time if the data history is maintained for the object. how does it work? well, when the list of an object’s attributes changes (for example, an attribute was added to the catalog), the platform writes its metadata: specifically, it adds a new entry to _datahistorymetadata and stores in it the current list of object attributes, as well as the version number of this list (for example, when history is enabled for an object, the first version of metadata is saved, when adding some attribute, the second version is saved, and so on). the platform also puts a mark in the created record that this particular version of the object is the most actual, and then removes this mark from the version that was marked as actual before. so, the problem is that the platform sometimes forgets to take the last step, and two versions appear in the table at once, marked as current. the designer understands this but cannot do anything. the solution follows from the algorithm above: you need to find conflicting versions and revoke the mark of actuality from the one that is older. it is better to use queries: data history is often enabled for a bunch of objects, and the list of their attributes is constantly changing — in general, there will be so many versions in the table that the devil will break his leg. if you also encountered this problem and are therefore reading this text, you can use the queries that i wrote: get-issues.sql checks that there is an issue: it looks for metadata versions that are also marked as actual. fix-issues.sql removes the actuality mark from those versions that are actually outdated. both queries are written for microsoft sql server. if you use postgresql, then here they are for this dbms. the queries will require a slight adaptation to a specific database: they use the _fld626 field, which is the data separator. in your _datahistorymetadata table, this field may be called differently, so you need to update its name to the current one. it will be difficult to make a mistake — the table has only one field with the _fld prefix. p.s. please bear in mind that the license agreement prohibits access to the database, bypassing the platform’s tools, so you can only go for such experiments if there are no other options left.",

Data exchange is done well: a push'n'pull server has been set up, subscriptions to events have been registered, a REST API has been implemented, and so on. There are many other fascinating technical details, but I'm not talking about that now.</p>\n<p>The exchange has various logic chains inside. For instance, if a new company appears in CRM, it sends the data to ERP. The other day, a problem appeared: a company was not sent from the CRM, no matter how many times you tried to write it. So we went to investigate, suspecting the worst: CRM is written in PHP (nothing personal; it’s just not our technical stack), and there’s a lot of different legacy stuff there. It's easier to shoot yourself in the foot than to blow your nose.</p>\n<p>However, it didn't take much digging. We opened the company’s page in CRM and saw that he had the “Do Not Export To ERP” checkbox, which, in fact, blocked the sending. A manager made an obvious mistake.</p>\n<p>Should we uncheck the box and close the ticket?</p>\n<p><img alt=\"Well yes, but actually no\" src=\"https://kostyanetsky.me/notes/do-not/actually.jpg\"/></p>\n<p>This will solve the problem with that particular company, but not the reason it appeared. It is actually in the interface, specifically in the name of the option: “do not” is used, which is advisable to avoid due to the fact that it is more difficult for users to read the wording correctly. By the way, this also applies to a simple “do”.</p>\n<p>It is often difficult for programmers to understand why this is so: we are used to instantly calculating Boolean expressions in our heads, and variations like “not (not true)” are commonplace for us.

    "text": "do? do not? 14 january 2024 · work english among our projects, we have one where two systems are communicating with each other: erp and crm. data exchange is done well: a push'n'pull server has been set up, subscriptions to events have been registered, a rest api has been implemented, and so on. there are many other fascinating technical details, but i'm not talking about that now. the exchange has various logic chains inside. for instance, if a new company appears in crm, it sends the data to erp. the other day, a problem appeared: a company was not sent from the crm, no matter how many times you tried to write it. so we went to investigate, suspecting the worst: crm is written in php (nothing personal; it’s just not our technical stack), and there’s a lot of different legacy stuff there. it's easier to shoot yourself in the foot than to blow your nose. however, it didn't take much digging. we opened the company’s page in crm and saw that he had the “do not export to erp” checkbox, which, in fact, blocked the sending. a manager made an obvious mistake. should we uncheck the box and close the ticket? this will solve the problem with that particular company, but not the reason it appeared. it is actually in the interface, specifically in the name of the option: “do not” is used, which is advisable to avoid due to the fact that it is more difficult for users to read the wording correctly. by the way, this also applies to a simple “do”. it is often difficult for programmers to understand why this is so: we are used to instantly calculating boolean expressions in our heads, and variations like “not (not true)” are commonplace for us. but people with a different background can get confused. just a little, but sometimes this is enough for them to perceive “do not export” as “do export” in the heat of the day, click the option, and move on. to sum up, the solution is to rename the checkbox. “disable export” or “stop export” are both fine, for example. “prohibit export” also comes to mind, but it’s more about interpersonal relationships, and in general, a ban on doing something does not mean that it won’t be done :)",

    "text": "rest service for service manager 25 february 2023 · 1с work this week, i developed a rest service to set up our service manager (this is a configuration for managing a 1cfresh instance). deploying the development environment is a regular task for us, and every time the manager's database had to be tuned by hand: tweaking the storefront, changing application addresses, overwriting scheduled tasks, and so on. the implementation was simple. come up with a json structure, write a parser, find a code in the configuration, make it work by external call, and make sure you don't break anything. routine work, in general, but i love to do such things from time to time: i mean, to look around and try to figure out which of the daily tasks is annoying enough. this one is a good example. to be frank, setting up the service manager wasn't a problem (launching the app and fiddling with the settings), but it was a thing to pay attention & spend time to. what do we have now: there is a json file with all the settings; there is a rest service for its processing; there is a script that will put the first into the second; there is a pipeline that will do it all by itself. in short, a boot was rubbing a leg, and now it isn't. yahoo!",

Okay, hello everyone! Johnny Slowpoke is here! Today we will throw out Google Fonts from my blog. I used to load the main font (PT Sans) from this service, but it makes almost no sense without cross-domain caching. Frankly speaking, the only point to do this further is if a server on which the site is running is slow, so it is faster to load fonts from Google. </p>\n<p>I host my blog on GitHub servers and have no complaints about performance. So, I'm self-hosting PT Sans now, and you know what? The difference is dramatic. When updating a page before, there was clearly a noticeable delay between loading the page and loading the font.

The essence in a nutshell: a huge auto-test based on Vanessa, which is intended to check the VAT calculation, falls somewhere near the end.</p>\n<p>I start investigating. First, I look at the screenshots in Allure: OK, the reason is obvious – in one of the documents, the conditional appearance for the field with the VAT amount doesn't work. The test expected it to be unavailable if the VAT rate is zero, but it turned out to be available somehow.</p>\n<p>It's a mess, it needs to be fixed! I look at the condition in the code: well, it locks the field if the VAT rate is in the list of “zero” rates (list of VAT rates whose rate is equal to zero). Everything appears to be simple and logical. What the hell could possibly go wrong here?</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/EffinBirds/status/1489980393675702281\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tweet\" src=\"https://kostyanetsky.me/notes/reuse-carefully/snap-tweet-EffinBirds-1489980393675702281.png\"/></a></p>\n<p>Well, I try to reproduce the bug manually. And there, all of a sudden, everything is nice: the conditional appearance works as it should. Floating bug, or what? I run the auto-test again, at the right moment I jump in with the debugger and find some outright garbage: in the list of “zero” rates, besides themselves, there are a bunch of empty links!</p>\n<p>Frankly speaking, I was scratching the back of my head. The document receives this list from the common module with <a href=\"https://gist.github.com/vkostyanetsky/5ec036ee148606aad9caefbc9305bfb0\" target=\"_blank\">this code</a>. An empty ref from here, even theoretically, cannot be obtained. Moreover, the module has the “Reuse Return Values” option ​​enabled, and the function is actually executes once somewhere at the beginning of the test, before all complex data manipulations. So, the test cannot affect it in any way, in theory.</p>\n<p>Is it a dead end? Well, experienced colleagues have probably already guessed everything, but I had to dance around the bug  and even check the <a href=\"https://its.1c.ru/db/v8std/content/724/hdoc\" target=\"_blank\">standard</a>, until got the following: <strong>return values ​​cache in 1C can be changed</strong>. I mean, not by calling <code>RefreshReusableValues​​()</code>, but by changing reusable values directly.</p>\n<p>How? Well, if you get some values ​​from a cached common module, and they are not of a primitive type (string, number, etc.), you will not get the value itself, but a pointer to it somewhere in memory. You write this pointer to a variable and try to change it – you change the cache.</p>\n<p>It's that simple, yes. This is what happened in my case: the form of another document called the method that generates the list of “zero” rates. Having received a list of values, it added an empty ref to it and used it in its logic. Thus, each time this form opens, the list cache contains more and more empty refs, which eventually broke the document at the other end of the configuration.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/EffinBirds/status/1488165946342662144\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tweet\" src=\"https://kostyanetsky.me/notes/reuse-carefully/snap-tweet-EffinBirds-1488165946342662144.png\"/></a></p>\n<p>In a good way, the platform should throw exceptions when developer trying to change the cache, but until this happens, you have to take care yourself. For example, when developing cached modules, return immutable data types from them (FixedStructure instead of Structure, FixedArray instead of Array, and so on). True, this is not a 100% protection: firstly, fixed types are not applicable everywhere, and secondly, even in the latest versions of the SSL, this is far from being done everywhere. Do you know many configurations not based on SSL?</p>\n<p>Sonar also know nothing about the problem, as well as less popular software. No silver bullet, in short – check your code, look at the code of your colleagues and try not to forget about another elegant way to bang ourselves in the foot.</p>\n            </div>\n          </div>\n          \n        </article>\n\n",

In that log, find the <code>EXCP</code> event, and right before it the <code>SDBL</code> event. That <code>SDBL</code> entry contains the SQL query that caused the crash.

The corresponding configuration object name can be pulled out with pretty much any utility built around <code>GetDBStorageStructureInfo()</code>.</p>\n<p>One way or another, you end up with the register name.

Then the job is to inspect the documents that created those records, fix the root cause, and repost the documents. If totals recalculation is still broken after that, then either this is not the only table with broken dates, or those dates have already spread somewhere beyond the records table.</p>\n<p>For example, I once had a case where fixing the records was not enough, because records with invalid dates were still sitting in the turnover table. The platform itself could not remove them, but the database was small enough that I could get away with some restructuring tricks. I pulled the following stunt: turned off the \"Use in totals\" flag for all register dimensions and applied the changes; then turned it back on and recalculated totals again. As a result, the register's turnover table was physically dropped, then recreated and filled from scratch — this time without dates from the distant future.</p>\n<p>As a last resort, you could delete the bad records with direct SQL queries (<code>DELETE</code> or even <code>TRUNCATE</code>). But first, that violates the platform vendor's license agreement, and second, it's risky: it's very easy to remove something important and not notice until later.
