new gdk bug (on windows) that might've been introduced by Feb2013-SP4
by Anthony Damico 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

if you run this R code (with MonetDB.R), you will automatically load a series of brazilian census bureau data sets onto your computer. after all tables have been downloaded and imported, the R script will run a very simple CREATE TABLE command that will cause mserver to shut down when it should not. library(downloader) setwd( "C:/My Directory/CENSO/" ) source_url( " https://raw.github.com/ajdamico/usgsd/master/Censo%20Demografico/download%2…" , prompt = FALSE , echo = TRUE ) after mserver.exe crashes, even if i re-load mserver.exe manually and then connect to it with mclient.exe, and run this block of code: create table c10_dom_pre_fpc as (SELECT * FROM ac_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM al_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM am_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ap_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ba_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ce_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM df_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM es_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM go_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ma_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM mg_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ms_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM mt_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM pa_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM pb_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM pe_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM pi_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM pr_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM rj_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM rn_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM ro_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM rr_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM rs_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM sc_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM se_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM sp1_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM sp2_rm_dom) UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM to_dom ) WITH DATA; the exact same crash occurs, so this is a new mserver.exe bug not a MonetDB.R bug. should i file a bug report? thanks!!! in mserver---- # MonetDB 5 server v11.15.15 "Feb2013-SP4" # Serving database 'censo_demografico', using 8 threads # Compiled for x86_64-pc-winnt/64bit with 64bit OIDs dynamically linked # Found 7.860 GiB available main-memory. # Copyright (c) 1993-July 2008 CWI. # Copyright (c) August 2008-2013 MonetDB B.V., all rights reserved # Visit http://www.monetdb.org/ for further information # Listening for connection requests on mapi:monetdb://127.0.0.1:50011/ # MonetDB/JAQL module loaded # MonetDB/SQL module loaded >= .\..\..\gdk\gdk_posix.c:800: MT_mremap(bat\02\65\26501.tail,468c50000,1889785 61024,755914244096): GDKextend() failed in mclient---- C:\Windows\System32>cd ..

regular expression - substring
by Budulinku Dejmihrasku 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi, i am looking for any idea/suggestion how to do something like Oracle has, i.e. REGEXP_SUBSTR(source, pattern[, position [, occurrence[, match_parameter]]]) which returns the desired substring. why i need this: i have vast amount of data to parse - i.e. i need to get all of the many possible [parameter=value] pairs from an url access log in order to feed the dimension tables w/parameter-value from the URL by parsing the string directly in MonetDB when i write a SQL function to do this (or any string parsing as a matter of fact), it is rather slow when parsing millions of records. i know that there is the PCRE.MAL and i already use with some success functions INDEX, MATCH or REPLACE but i was not able to find anything similar to the REGEXP_SUBSTR functionality to get the desired substring in one go would most likely help me to get better performance any suggestion? please? thanks milan

Stopping queries, deleting tuples and other general use questions
by Ruben Silva 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi, after a while using MonetDB some general use questions pops up. I've collected some which answers I think will be of great help for any MonetDB user. * * *#1:* In the monetdb manpage we can read: *“The kill command immediately sends a SIGKILL and should only be used as last resort for a database that doesn't respond any more. Killing a database may result in (partial) data loss.”* * * 1.1 If kill is the last resort, what are the other options? * * *#2:* System monitor (Oct 2013)<http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Cookbooks/SQLrecipes/monitor> 2.1 Will this be available in October or is there a new estimate? 2.2 Does the current development version include this feature yet so we can test it? I'm interested mainly in the methods sys.pause(qtag), sys.resume(qtag) and sys.stop(qtag), *specially sys.stop(qtag)*. 2.4 Is there some alternative method already available in the Feb2013 release to achieve this action? *#3:* In the monetdb manpage we can read about the *nclients* property: *“Sets the maximum amount of clients that can connect to this database at the same time. Setting this to a high value is discouraged.” * 3.1 What do you consider as a high value? Fabian Groffen stated in a similar question *"Concurrency is always a problem for MonetDB, since in the ideal case it means the processes are fighting for resources with each other." * 3.2 Does this mean (theoretically) that if I can run Query A in 10s in a system with resources R (Ram, Disk, Processor), with Rx2 I can run Query A and B (equivalent in effort to A) in the same 10s? *#4:* www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Manuals/SQLreference/Transactions: *"WARNING. The tuples being deleted are only marked as such. They do not reduce the table size. It calls for a vacuum cleaning algorithm."* * * I've found the /usr/lib/monetdb5/createdb/20_vacuum.sql script and after some googling I found the following post* * http://mail.monetdb.org/pipermail/users-list/2011-August/005051.html without an answer. 4.1 Does the following sequence frees the space of the deleted rows? sql>delete from sys.transfer_ip ; 651950 affected rows (117.620ms) sql>call vacuum('sys','transfer_ip'); Best regards, Ruben Silva
