Hi Lefteris, Please remember that the MonetDB code style uses tabs, not evil spaces. Unfortunately the Pathfinder sources do not comply to the MonetDB code style (in more than just spaces and tabs).

[Monetdb-developers] Announcement: new minor release of MonetDB Clients package
by Sjoerd Mullender 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

The MonetDB team at CWI is pleased to announve a bug fix release for the MonetDB Clients package. A number of bugs in the ODBC driver have been fixed: - fixes for the handling of UTF-8 encoded queries and query parameters; - fixes for dealing with wide characters. There is also a fix for mclient: - the timer (-t/--time option) could overflow. There are new Windows installers for the ODBC driver, and there are new RPMs for Fedora 8 and 9. All of this for both 32 and 64 bit architectures. There is also a new Super Source Ball. -- Sjoerd Mullender

[Monetdb-developers] Some questions
by Elad . 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi there! A few questions: 1. Is it possible to run the server module without a visible console on Windows? 2. When inserting large bulks using the ODBC driver, the server process terminates without warning when the bulk is too large to fit in memory (on a 32 bit machine) and the ODBC driver throws a strange exception. I assume this will also happen with large SELECT queries as well. Is there a way to uniquely identify this scenario and/or avoid it? 3. What is the best way of determining whether the server process is up and running? 4. What is the best way to set up my own version of Monet? I want to take a look at the code and perhaps package the server a little differently (create a different MSI, change the EXE file name, etc). Which IDE would be best to do this? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Got Game?

FYI: the last 4 checkins on this file (mainly) consisted of alternatingly removing and adding (the same) part of the output: http://monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/modules/mal/Tests/r… http://monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/modules/mal/Tests/r… http://monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/modules/mal/Tests/r… http://monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/modules/mal/Tests/r… http://monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net/monetdb/MonetDB5/src/modules/mal/Tests/r… Most of the log messages unfortunately give hardly any hint as to whether (and if so, why) this was intended or whether this was by "accident" / "sloppyness" ...

In detail: I'm in fact afraid that your fix / new solution will not even compile on Windows. The reason is, that the C function getDiskSpace() internally (still) collects / calculates the occupied disk space in a variable of type "lng" --- this is (and was) good & correct, as even on 32-bit systems, MonetDB's (total) database size can grow beyond 2 GB --- however, C function getDiskSpace() now returns a "size_t" (while it used to correctly return the internal "lng"). Not only is "size_t" only 32 bit on 32-bit systems, while "lng" is 64-bit also on 32-bit systems, but it is also unsigned while lng is signed. Hence, the Windows compilers will (at least) complain about the possible loos of data when implicitly truncating the 64-bit (signed) "lng" to a 32-bit (unsigned) "size_t" in the return statement of C function getDiskSpace() on 32-bit systems. Moreover, it is a bit "odd" to use unsigned type "size_t" in the undelying C function, but signed type "wrd" in the MAL command --- why not also use type "wrd" in C -- we have it defined (for exacly this reason) as any other "three-letter-type" we use in GDK ... In fact, the IMHO correct (and simpler/simplest) solution would have been to leave the C function getDiskSpace() return a "lng" as it (correctly) used to do, and simply change to MAL command signature and wrapper to directly pass this "lng" through as "lng" instead of truncating it (on both 32- & 64-bit systems) to an "int". Again, my apologies for not explicitly pointing out this simple solution in my bug report.

The standard says about the sizeof operator: "When applied to an operand that has type char, unsigned char, or signed char, (or a qualified version thereof) the result is 1." So why bother multiplying with sizeof(char)? -- Sjoerd Mullender

[Monetdb-developers] DateAdd()
by Elad . 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, Is there an existing SQL implementation of the DateAdd function in Monetdb? Something along the lines of SELECT DATEADD(month, 1, '08/30/2006') that would add a single month to the specified time stamp.
