[MonetDB-users] MonetDB server thread architecture
by xxiao 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, does anyone know whether there is any doc on how the server is implemented in Pthreads, such as how many threads are forked and what job each different thread is responsible for? Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MonetDB-server-thread-architecture-tp20134440p2013444… Sent from the monetdb-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear all, I'm using MonetDB/XQuery. After i have added a few XML-files into MonetDB, i want to check out how their BATs looks like. /MonetDB>ls(); #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# # name htype ttype count heat dirty status kind refcnt lrefcnt # # str str str lng int str str str int int # #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# [ "1000000001_attr_own", "void", "oid", 5, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_attr_prop", "void", "oid", 5, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_attr_qn", "void", "oid", 5, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_frag_root", "oid", "oid", 1, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 1 ] [ "1000000001_map_pid", "void", "oid", 1, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_nid_rid", "void", "oid", 25, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_prop_com", "void", "str", 0, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ] [ "1000000001_prop_ins", "void", "str", 0, 0, "clean", "disk", "pers", 0, 2 ]/ *I get a list of BAT-data summary.

by Daniel Murray 24 Oct '08

Hi all, I am trying to use MonetDB on a 32bit Windows XP SP2, but am having a lot of trouble given the size of my tables. Is there any experience in regards to using MOnetDB on a "virtual" server set up on Windows 2003 Server and configuring it with "X64" inlieu of a true "64bit". Thanks you in advance for your support.

[MonetDB-users] MonetDB5 Server crashes and shuts-down
by Daniel Murray 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi All, I am working with Windows XP SP2 (32-bit), with 2Gb RAM; am using Java 1.5. I downloaded MonetDB5-SQL-Installer-i386-20080624.msi; Squirell has been update to use monetdb-1.8-jdbc.jar. I am trying to upload data from MySQL to MonetDB5, using the MonetDB Bulk Loader that comes with Pentaho Kettle 3.1. I am using a MySQL table with a little over 9 millon rows & 7 columns (2 BIGINT, 2 INT and 3 FLOAT, consequently I understand no encoding issues are involved). After a number of failed transformation attempts to load my data to MonetDB, on all attempts the Monetdb Server is suddenly shutting down after some 20,000 records are processed. When trying to review the data -that I understand to be in MonetDB- using Squirell, the following server console screen out is shown (I had to modify the .config file to "gdk_debug=1") and as likewise, the MonetDB Server shuts down: ***console output start*** C:\MONETDB\CWI\MonetDB5>MSQLServer.bat # MonetDB server v5.6.0, based on kernel v1.24.0 # Serving database 'demo' # Compiled for i686-pc-win32/32bit with 32bit OIDs dynamically linked # Copyright (c) 1993-2008 CWI, all rights reserved # Visit http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ for further information #warning: please don't forget to set your vault key! #(see C:\MONETDB\CWI\MonetDB5\etc\monetdb5.conf) # Listening for connection requests on mapi:monetdb://127.0.0.1:50000/ # MonetDB/SQL module v2.24.0 loaded >!01 ERROR: MT_mmap: MapViewOfFileEx(150c, 1, 0, 0, 196885248, 0) failed !01 OS: Espacio de almacenamiento insuficiente para procesar este comando. #01 #GDKmmap(196885248) fail => BBPtrim(enter) usage[mem=4583848,vm=1158283264] #01 #mallinfo.arena = 5927701 #01 #mallinfo.ordblks = 61996 #01 #mallinfo.smblks = 383 #01 #mallinfo.hblkhd = 0 #01 #mallinfo.hblks = 0 #01 #mallinfo.usmblks = 1768421 #01 #mallinfo.fsmblks = 345928 #01 #mallinfo.uordblks = 3811784 #01 #mallinfo.fordblks = 1568 #01 #BBPTRIM_ENTER: memsize=4583848,vmsize=1158283264 #01 #BBPTRIM: memtarget=0 vmtarget=1073741824 #01 #TRIMSCAN: mem=0 vm=1, start=1, limit=1 #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92596* 0=tmp_2143 (#20500000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92598* 1=tmp_2144 (#20510000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92599* 2=tmp_2145 (#20510000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92600* 3=tmp_2146 (#20510000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92601* 4=tmp_2147 (#20510000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: 92602* 5=tmp_2151 (#20500000) #01 #TRIMSCAN: end at 1 (size=1197) #01 #TRIMSELECT: dirty = 0 #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2143 BAT*=454e700 #01 # (cnt=20500000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92598,92596,-2147391052) #01 #TRIMSELECT: delete tmp_2143 from trimlist (has been touched since last scan ) #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2144 BAT*=454e7f8 #01 # (cnt=20510000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92599,92598,-2147391050) #01 #TRIMSELECT: delete tmp_2144 from trimlist (has been touched since last scan ) #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2145 BAT*=454e8f0 #01 # (cnt=20510000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92600,92599,-2147391049) #01 #TRIMSELECT: delete tmp_2145 from trimlist (has been touched since last scan ) #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2146 BAT*=454e9e8 #01 # (cnt=20510000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92601,92600,-2147391048) #01 #TRIMSELECT: delete tmp_2146 from trimlist (has been touched since last scan ) #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2147 BAT*=454eae0 #01 # (cnt=20510000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92602,92601,-2147391047) #01 #TRIMSELECT: delete tmp_2147 from trimlist (has been touched since last scan ) #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2151 BAT*=454ecd0 #01 # (cnt=20500000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92596,92602,-2147391046) #01 #TRIMSELECT: keep tmp_2151 [82035748,82035520] bytes [82035748,82035520] dir ty target(mem=0 vm=1073741824) #01 #TRIMSELECT: end #01 #TRIMSELECT: dirty = 1 #01 #TRIMSELECT: candidate=tmp_2151 BAT*=454ecd0 #01 # (cnt=20500000, mode=4096, refs=0, wait=0, parent=0,0, lastused= 92596,92602,-2147391046) #01 #TRIMSELECT: unload tmp_2151 [82035748,82035520] bytes [82035748,82035520] d irty #01 #TRIMSELECT: end #01 #BBPTRIM: lastused batid name #01 #BBPTRIM: -2147391046 1129 tmp_2151 #01 #BBPTRIM_EXIT: memsize=114688,vmsize=1076232192 #01 #GDKmmap(196885248) fail => BBPtrim(ready) usage[mem=4583792,vm=1076232192] #01 #mallinfo.arena = 5927717 #01 #mallinfo.ordblks = 61993 #01 #mallinfo.smblks = 384 #01 #mallinfo.hblkhd = 0 #01 #mallinfo.hblks = 0 #01 #mallinfo.usmblks = 1768421 #01 #mallinfo.fsmblks = 346232 #01 #mallinfo.uordblks = 3811728 #01 #mallinfo.fordblks = 1336 !01 ERROR: MT_mmap: MapViewOfFileEx(1510, 1, 0, 0, 196885248, 0) failed !01 OS: Espacio de almacenamiento insuficiente para procesar este comando. !01 ERROR: GDKload: cannot mmap(): name=21\2150, ext=tail !01 OS: Espacio de almacenamiento insuficiente para procesar este comando. !01 ERROR: GDKload failed: name=21\2150, ext=tail ***console output ends*** Furthermore, I have tried to find the folders holding \var\MonetDB5\dbfarm with no luck.

[MonetDB-users] (no subject)
by Richard Wesley 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi All - I am trying to evaluate MonetDB on Windows by loading up some large data sets. I'm not having much luck and I'm hoping someone can help me out. The first set of problems revolve around the ODBC driver. It seems to not be able to report errors or even return the results of queries reliably. Most errors come back as a generic error message although we occasionally run into strange messages involving UTF-16 conversions when no string columns are involved (e.g. a count distinct of a numeric column). We are using the July 2008 version from the web site. Are these known issues and is there a more recent build we could try? This is not in production yet, we are simply trying to evaluate the system. I have managed to work around the ODBC problems very slowly and have got to a point where I can load small data sets. But when I then try to do a large insert using the COPY FROM syntax, my client got a "connection terminated" error. When I take the COPY FROM statement and paste it into the client, the MonetDB server crashes. The only log files I can find have a few (mostly unprintable) characters in them. Restarting the server and trying again produces the same problem. The insert query is COPY 6568253 RECORDS INTO "Airlines"."_2005_On_Time_Performance" FROM 'C:\\DOCUME~1\\hawkfish\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\1\\7A.tmp\\table.tbl' USING DELIMITERS '\t', '\n', '\''; Is there some limit on the COPY INTO syntax? Is there some log file somewhere that could point me in the right direction?

[MonetDB-users] MonetDB with Pentaho and Kettle
by Tom Barber 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi Guys, As of 3.1 Kettle now has a connector built in for Monet so I thought I'd give it another go after not getting too far earlier in the year. Anyway I have it up and running on a Quad Core Xeon box running Centos x86_64 and it seems pretty happy, but when I try to copy sizable amounts of data into it, kettle stops with an error: 2008/10/17 12:29:22 - Table output.0 - Prepared statement : INSERT INTO voc.d_budgets3 (entity_anl_code, trad_code, Cost, Sales, CostMTD, SalesMTD) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : Because of an error, this step can't continue: 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleException: 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : Error inserting row into table [d_budgets3] with values: [19], [A09], [0], [0], [0], [0] 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : Error inserting/updating row 2008/10/17 12:29:27 - Table output.0 - ERROR (version 3.1.0, build 826 from 2008/09/30 11:32:36) : current transaction is aborted (please ROLLBACK) But to my untrained eye the data looks fine(coming from a mysql database) and I don't know where to start debugging this or what settings I could change. The monet table is 2 Strings, 2 Int, 2 Big Num and it always inputs a load of data before stopping. What can I look at to resolve the issues? otherwise, rocking database and keep up the good work.

[MonetDB-users] CREATE INDEX syntax?
by Richard Wesley 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Hi Sjored - I have a lot of questions, so I thought I start a few threads if that is all right. What is the CREATE INDEX syntax? According to the manual it is CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX <index_name> ON <table_name> ( <column_name>, ...) ; But whey I use this syntax, I get strange errors: sql>CREATE INDEX "_tidx_usernames_2a" ON "Performance"."usernames" ("username"); !CREATE INDEX: no such table 'usernames' sql>select count(*) from "Performance"."usernames"; +--------+ | count_ | +========+ | 5 | +--------+ sql> ________________________________________________________ Richard Wesley Senior Software Developer Tableau Software Visit: http://www.trytableau.com/now.html
