Announcement: New MonetDB JDBC driver v3.2 and JdbcClient released

by Martin van Dinther

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce a feature release of the MonetDB JDBC driver (monetdb-jdbc-3.2.jre8.jar) and JdbcClient CLI program (jdbcclient.jre8.jar). The new release adds the capability to use the SQL: COPY ... INTO ... ON CLIENT statements via Java from the client side. This allows users and programmers to use the much faster COPY statements to load large data sets into MonetDB from a local client side CSV file or stream. The JDBC MonetConnection API has been extended with methods to register and use Upload and Download Handlers to stream the data from the Java client application to the server and/or from the server to the Java client. See <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/Java/onclient.txt> for details. The new functionality has also been added to the JdbcClient CLI program, so you can now also use COPY ... INTO ... ON CLIENT statements from this CLI program, provided you have started it with a --csvdir argument. The CSV data files may also be gzip compressed (file name ends with: .gz). Besides this new functionality we also improved both the JDBC driver and JdbcClient to work optimal with the new MonetDB Jan2022 server release. For a list of all changes please read: <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/Java/ChangeLog>. We recommend all users of MonetDB JDBC driver and/or JdbcClient program to upgrade to this new release. Especially if you use the new MonetDB Jan2022 server release, you should use the new jar files. The download location is as usual: <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/Java/>. For information and tips on using the MonetDB JDBC driver, read: <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/Java/release.txt>. Reminder: as of release monetdb-jdbc-3.0.jre8.jar the MonetDB JDBC Driver class name has been changed to: org.monetdb.jdbc.MonetDriver It used to be nl.cwi.monetdb.jdbc.MonetDriver which is marked as deprecated. Please use the new driver class name asap in your configuration files/scripts and/or Java code. The old driver class name is currently still included in the jdbc jar file but only to ease the transition for existing deployments. The old driver class will be removed in a future release of the MonetDB JDBC driver.

Announcement: New Jan2022 Feature release of MonetDB suite

by Sjoerd Mullender

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Jan2022 feature release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. ## Jan2022 Feature Release (11.43.5) ### - A couple of concurrency issues have been fixed. ### Windows Packaging - We now build Windows binaries using Visual Studio 2022. ### Client Package - A new output formatting mode was added to mclient. Use -fcsv-noquote to produce a CSV (comma-separated values) output where the quote characters have not been escapes. This can be useful when producing a single column string output that should be saved as is, e.g. when using the sys.dump_database() function. ### MonetDB Common - Implement string imprints (strimps for short) a pre-filter structure for strings in order to accelerate LIKE queries. If a strimp exists for a specific string column the strings are pre-filtered, rejecting strings that cannot possibly match, before the more expensive and accurate matching algorithms run. - On Windows, files and directories we create now get the attribute FILE_ATTIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED, meaning that they should not be indexed by indexing or search services. - Many (most) low level functions that could take a long time (such as BATjoin) can now be aborted with a timeout. When the function takes too long, the function will fail, and hence the whole SQL query will fail. - At some point in the past, string heaps were created where the hash value of the string was stored in the heap before the string. This hasn't been used in a long time. Now the code that could still read those old heaps has been removed. Bats that used the old format are converted automatically. - Some small interface changes to the atom functions: the atomPut function now returns (var_t) -1 on error instead of 0; the atomHeap function now returns success or failure as a gdk_return value. ### General - Reliance on the OpenSSL library has been removed. OpenSSL was used for the hash algorithms it contained (e.g. SHA512 and RIPEMD160) and for producing random numbers. The hash functions have been replaced by the original published functions, and random numbers are generated using system-specific random sources (i.e. not simply pseudo-random number generators). ### MonetDB5 Server - The storage cleanup in the 11.41.5 (Jul2021) release made the OLTP optimizer pipeline obsolete, thus it was removed. ### SQL Frontend - Add string imprints to the existing imprints index creation syntax. On string column "col" of a table "tbl" marked read only ("ALTER TABLE tbl SET READ ONLY") the user can create a string imprint using the syntax: "CREATE IMPRINTS INDEX index_name ON tbl(col);". - With the storage cleanup in the 11.41.5 (Jul2021) release, the ANALYZE statement was updated to accomodate those changes. The SAMPLE parameter is now ignored because ANALYZE generated statistics used by relational operators, are required to be precise. - In order to mitigate the I/O required to update the 'statistics' table, this table is no longer persisted. Alternately, it was changed into a computed view every time when queried. The 'stamp' and 'sample' fields were removed for the aforementioned reasons. The 'schema', 'table' and 'column' fields were added for convenience. - In previous versions there was no check that the INCREMENT BY value of a SEQUENCE was not zero. During the automatic upgrade of a database, INCREMENT BY values that are zero are set to one. - The method to compute the 'side_effect' effect property was changed for SQL functions defined in the backend engine (eg. ``CREATE FUNCTION ... EXTERNAL NAME "module"."function"''). It was changed from being computed by the SQL layer to the backend engine itself. As a consequence, the computed 'side_effect' value may be different, thus bringing incompatibilities. After an upgrade, if a 'side_effect' incompatibility arises, either the 'side_effect' value in the backend should be changed or the function should be re-created in SQL. - Removed deprecated system view sys.systemfunctions. It was marked as deprecated from release Apr2019 (11.33.3). Use query: select id as function_id from sys.functions where system; to get the same data as the old view. - Extended SQL system catalog with lookup table sys.fkey_actions and view sys.fkeys to provide user friendly querying of existing foreign keys and their ON UPDATE and ON DELETE referential action specifications. - Many improvements were done for REMOTE table plans. As a consequence, master or slave servers from this feature release are not compatible with older releases. - The view sys.ids has been changed to give more information about the objects in the system. In particular, there is an extra column added at the end that indicates whether the object is a system object. - The example modules opt_sql_append and udf are no longer loaded by default and no longer part of the binary release. If installed, they can be loaded using the --loadmodule option. - The built-in SQL functions to produce a dump that were added as a proof-of-concept in the previous release have been improved and are now usable. Use the query ``SELECT stmt FROM sys.dump_database(FALSE) ORDER BY o'' to produce a dump. The dump code built into mclient and msqldump is probably still more efficient, though. - The sys.epoch function has always been confusing. There are two versions, one with an INTEGER argument, and one with a BIGINT argument. The former accepted values as seconds, whereas the latter expected milliseconds. Also, the construct EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM value) returns a BIGINT with millisecond precision. This has now been overhauled. There is no longer a function sys.epoch with BIGINT argument, but instead there is a new function sys.epoch with DECIMAL(18,3) argument. The argument is seconds, but with 3 decimals, it provides millisecond accuracy. Also the EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM value) now returns a DECIMAL(18,3), again seconds with 3 decimals giving millisecond accuracy. Note that the internal, binary representation of DECIMAL(18,3) interpreted as seconds with 3 decimals and BIGINT with millisecond precision is exactly the same. ### Merovingian - Disabled logging into merovingian.log of next info message types: - proxying client <host>:<port> for database '<dbname>' to <url> - target connection is on local UNIX domain socket, passing on filedescriptor instead of proxying These messages were written to the log file at each connection. In most cases this information is not used. The disabling reduces the log file size. - Removed the deprecated monetdb commands `profilerstart` and `profilerstop`. ### Bug Fixes - [7168](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7168): Loosing the documentation - [7180](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7180): GROUP BY-subquery crashes MonetDb - [7182](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7182): Queries against sys.querylog_catalog, sys.querylog_calls or sys.querylog_history fail after restore of a db created using call sys.hot_snapshot(R'\path\file.tar'); - [7201](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7201): Selection of a subquery with a LEFT JOIN returns the wrong result set - [7202](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7202): DISTINCT does not work when sorting by additional columns - [7215](https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7215): ODBC Driver SQLStatistics returns duplicate rows/rows for other tables

Announcement: New Jul2021-SP2 Bugfix release of MonetDB suite

by Sjoerd Mullender

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Jul2021-SP2 bugfix release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Jul2021-SP2 Bugfix Release (11.41.13) Client Package * Dumping the database now also dumps the read-only and insert-only states of tables. MonetDB Common * Sometimes when the server was restarted, it wouldn't start anymore due to an error from BBPcheckbats. We finally found and fixed a (hopefully "the") cause of this problem. SQL Frontend * Number parsing for SQL was fixed. If a number was immediately followed by letters (i.e. without a space), the number was accepted and the alphanumeric string starting with the letter was interpreted as an alias (if aliases were allowed in that position). Bug Fixes * 7163: Multiple sql.mvc() invocations in the same query * 7167: sys.shutdown() problems * 7184: Insert into query blocks all other queries * 7185: GROUPING SETS on groups with aliases provided in the SELECT returns empty result * 7186: data files created with COPY SELECT .. INTO 'file.csv' fail to be loaded using COPY INTO .. FROM 'file.csv' when double quoted string data contains the field values delimiter character * 7191: [MonetDBe] monetdbe_cleanup_statement() with bound NULLs on variable-sized types bug * 7196: BATproject2: does not match always * 7198: Suboptimal query plan for query containing JSON access filter and two negative string comparisons * 7200: PRIMARY KEY unique constraint is violated with concurrent inserts * 7206: Python UDF fails when returning an empty table as a dictionary

Archiving of MonetDBLite repositories

by Panagiotis Koutsourakis

Hello all, We would like to announce that MonetDBLite has been replaced by MonetDB/e. On January we will archive the following repositories: https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDBLite-C https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDBLite-R https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDBLite-Python https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDBLite-Java We've moved the best bits of MonetDBLite to MonetDB/e (i.e. MonetDB embedded), which we continue to develop and maintain. MonetDB/e is developed in the same codebase as the MonetDB server. This means that all new features and bug fixes land automatically in MonetDB/e. You can find bindings for Python (https://github.com/MonetDBSolutions/MonetDBe-Python) and Java (https://github.com/MonetDBSolutions/MonetDBe-Java) and we are working on bindings for R. You can also find a repository with code examples (https://github.com/MonetDBSolutions/monetdbe-examples).

Announcement: New Jul2021-SP1 Bugfix release of MonetDB suite

by Sjoerd Mullender

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Jul2021-SP1 bugfix release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Jul2021-SP1 Bugfix Release (11.41.11) MonetDB Common * Some deadlock and race condition issues were fixed. * Handling of the list of free bats has been improved, leading to less thread contention. * A problem was fixed where the server wouldn't start with a message from BBPcheckbats about files being too small. The issue was not that the file was too small, but that BBPcheckbats was looking at the wrong file. * An issue was fixed where a "short read" error was produced when memory was getting tight. * When appending to a string bat, we made an optimization where the string heap was sometimes copied completely to avoid having to insert strings individually. This copying was still done too eagerly, so now the string heap is copied less frequently. In particular, when appending to an empty bat, the string heap is now not always copied whole. SQL Frontend * If the server has been idle for a while with no active clients, the write-ahead log is now rotated. * A problem was fixed where files belonging to bats that had been deleted internally were not cleaned up, leading to a growing database (dbfarm) directory. * A leak was fixed where extra bats were created but never cleaned up, each taking up several kilobytes of memory. * [This feature was already released in Jul2021 (11.41.5), but the ChangeLog was missing] Grant indirect privileges. With "GRANT SELECT ON <my_view> TO <another_user>" and "GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION <my_func> TO <another_user>", one can grant access to "my_view" and "my_func" to another user who does not have access to the underlying database objects (e.g. tables, views) used in "my_view" and "my_func". The grantee will only be able to access data revealed by "my_view" or conduct operations provided by "my_func". * Improved error reporting in COPY INTO by giving the line number (starting with one) for the row in which an error was found. In particular, the sys.rejects() table now lists the line number of the CSV file on which the record started in which an error was found. Bug Fixes * 7140: SQL Query Plan Non Optimal with View * 7162: Extend sys.var_values table * 7165: `JOINIDX: missing '.'` when running distributed join query on merged remote tables * 7172: Unexpected query result with merge tables * 7173: If truncate is in transaction then after restart of MonetDB the table is empty * 7178: Remote Table Throws Error - createExceptionInternal: !ERROR: SQLException:RAstatement2:42000!The number of projections don't match between the generated plan and the expected one: 1 != 1200

Announcement: New Jul2021 Feature release of MonetDB suite

by Sjoerd Mullender

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Jul2021 feature release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Jul2021 Feature Release (11.41.5) Client Package * The MonetDB stethoscope has been removed. There is now a separate package available with PIP (monetdb_stethoscope) or as an RPM or DEB package (stethoscope) from the monetdb.org repository. Mapi Library * Add optional MAPI header field which can be used to immediately set reply size, autocommit, time zone and some other options, see mapi.h. This makes client connection setup faster. Support has been added to mapilib, pymonetdb and the jdbc driver. ODBC Driver * A typo that made the SQLSpecialColumns function unusable was fixed. MonetDB Common * A bug in the grouping code has been fixed. * Hash indexes are no longer maintained at all cost: if the number of distinct values is too small compared to the total number of values, the index is dropped instead of being maintained during updates. * A new type, called msk, was introduced. This is a bit mask type. In a bat with type msk, each row occupies a single bit, so 8 rows are stored in a single byte. There is no NULL value for this type. * The function of the BAT iterator (type BATiter, function bat_iterator) has been expanded. The iterator now contains more information about the BAT, and it contains a pointer to the heaps (theap and tvheap) that are stable, at least in the sense that they will remain available even when parallel threads update the BAT and cause those heaps to grow (and therefore possibly move in memory). A call to bat_iterator must now be accompanied by a call to bat_iterator_end. * Implemented function BUNreplacemultiincr to replace multiple values in a BAT in one go, starting at a given position. * Implemented new function BUNreplacemulti to replace multiple values in a BAT in one go, at the given positions. * Removed function BUNinplace, just use BUNreplace, and check whether the BAT argument is of type TYPE_void before calling if you don't want to materialize. * Implemented a function BUNappendmulti which appends an array of values to a BAT. It is a generalization of the function BUNappend. * Changed the interface of the atom read function. It now requires an extra pointer to a size_t value that gives the current size of the destination buffer, and when that buffer is too small, it receives the size of the reallocated buffer that is large enough. In any case, and as before, the return value is a pointer to the destination buffer. * Environment variables (sys.env()) must be UTF-8, but since they can contain file names which may not be UTF-8, there is now a mechanism to store the original values outside of sys.env() and store %-escaped (similar to URL escaping) values in the environment. The key must still be UTF-8. * We now save the location of the min and max values when known. MonetDB5 Server * When using the --in-memory option, mserver5 will run completely in memory, i.e. not create a database on disk. The server can still be connected to using the name of the in-memory database. This name is "in-memory". * By using the option "--dbextra=in-memory", mserver5 can be instructed to keep transient BATs completely in memory. SQL Frontend * The system view sys.ids has been updated to include some more system IDs. * The sys.storage() function now only returns meta data, i.e. data that can be calculated without access to the column contents. * Since STREAM tables support is removed, left over STREAM tables are dropped from the catalog. * Fix a warning emitted by some implementations of the tar(1) command when unpacking hot snapshot files. * support reading the concatenation of compressed files as a single compressed file. * COPY BINARY overhaul. Allow control over binary endianness using COPY [ (BIG | LITTLE | NATIVE) ENDIAN] BINARY syntax. Defaults to NATIVE. Strings are now \0 terminated rather than \n. Support for BOOL, TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, LARGEINT, HUGEINT, with their respective "INTMIN" values as the NULL representation; 32 and 64 bit FLOAT/REAL, with NaN as the NULL representation; VARCHAR/TEXT, JSON and URL with \x80 as the NULL representation; UUID as fixed width 16 byte binary values, with (by default) all zeroes as the NULL representation; temporal type structs as defined in copybinary.h with any invalid value as the NULL representation. * In the Jul2021 release the storage and transaction layers have undergone major changes. The goal of these changes is robust performance under inserts/updates and deletes and lowering the transaction startup costs, allowing faster (small) queries. Where the old transaction layer duplicated a lot of data structures during startup, the new layer shares the same tree. Using object timestamps the isolation of object is guaranteed. On the storage side the timestamps indicate whether a row is visible (deleted or valid), to a transaction as well. The changes also give some slight changes on the perceived transactional behavior. The new implementation uses shared structures among all transactions, which do not allow multiple changes of the same object. And we then follow the principle of the first writer wins, i.e., if a transaction creates a table with name 'table_name', and concurrently one other transaction does the same the later of the two will fail with a concurrency conflict error message (even if the first writer never commits). We expect most users not to notice this change, as such schema changes aren't usually done concurrently. * There is now a function sys.current_sessionid() to return the session ID of the current session. This ID corresponds with the sessionid in the sys.queue() result. * Merge statements could not produce correct results on complex join conditions, so a renovation was made. As a consequence, subqueries now have to be disabled on merge join conditions. * preserve in-query comments * Use of CTEs inside UPDATE and DELETE statements are now more restrict. Previously they could be used without any extra specification in the query (eg. with "v1"("c1") as (...) delete from "t" where "t"."c1" = "v1"."c1"), however this was not conformant with the SQL standard. In order to use them, they must be specified in the FROM clause in UPDATE statements or inside a subquery. * Added 'schema path' property to user, specifying a list of schemas to be searched on to find SQL objects such as tables and functions. The scoping rules have been updated to support this feature and it now finds SQL objects in the following order: 1. On occasions with multiple tables (e.g. add foreign key constraint, add table to a merge table), the child will be searched on the parent's schema. 2. For tables only, declared tables on the stack. 3. 'tmp' schema if not listed on the 'schema path'. 4. Session's current schema. 5. Each schema from the 'schema path' in order. 6. 'sys' schema if not listed on the 'schema path'. Whenever the full path is specified, ie "schema"."object", no search will be made besides on the explicit schema. * To update the schema path ALTER USER x SCHEMA PATH y; statement was added. [SCHEMA PATH string] syntax was added to the CREATE USER statement. The schema path must be a single string where each schema must be between double quotes and separated with a single comma, e.g. '"sch1","sch2"' For every created user, if the schema path is not given, '"sys"' will be the default schema path. * Changes in the schema path won't be reflected on currently connected users, therefore they have to re-connect to see the change. Non existent schemas on the path will be ignored. * Leftover STREAM table definition from Datacell extension was removed from the parser. They had no effect anymore. Merovingian * Deprecate `profilerstart` and `profilerstop` commands. Since stethoscope is a separate project (https://github.com/MonetDBSolutions/monetdb-pystethoscope) the installation directory is not standard anymore. `profilerstart` and `profilerstop` commands assume that the stethoscope executable is in the same directory as `mserver5`. This is no longer necessarily true since stethoscope can now be installed in a python virtual environment. The commands still work if stethoscope is installed using the official MonetDB installers, or if a symbolic link is created in the directory where `mserver5` is located. * The exittimeout value can now be set to a negative value (e.g. -1) to indicate that when stopping the dbfarm (using monetdbd stop dbfarm), any mserver5 processes are to be sent a termination signal and then waited for until they terminate. In addition, if exittimeout is greater than zero, the mserver5 processes are sent a SIGKILL signal after the specified timeout and the managing monetdbd is sent a SIGKILL signal after another five seconds (if it didn't terminate already). The old situation was that the managing monetdbd process was sent a SIGKILL after 30 seconds, and the mserver5 processes that hadn't terminated yet would be allowed to continue their termination sequence. Bug Fixes * 2030: Temporary table is semi-persistent when transaction fails * 7031: I cannot start MoentDb, because the installation path has Chinese. * 7055: Table count returning function used inside other function gives wrong results. * 7075: Inconsistent Results using CTEs in Large Queries * 7079: WITH table AS... UPDATE ignores the WHERE conditions on table * 7081: Attempt to allocate too much space in UPDATE query * 7093: `current_schema` not in sys.keywords * 7096: DEBUG SQL statement broken * 7115: Jul2021: ParseException while upgrading Oct2020 database * 7116: Jul2021: Cannot create filter functions * 7125: MonetDB Round Function issues in the latest release * 7126: The "lower" and "upper" functions doesn't work for Cyrillic alphabet * 7127: Bug report: "write error on stream" that results in mclient crash * 7128: Bug report: strange error message "Subquery result missing" * 7129: Bug report: TypeException:user.main[19]:'batcalc.between' undefined * 7130: Bug report: TypeException:user.main[396]:'algebra.join' undefined * 7131: Bug report: TypeException:user.main[273]:'bat.append' undefined * 7133: WITH <alias> ( SELECT x ) DELETE FROM ... deletes wrong tuples * 7136: MERGE statement is deleting rows if the column is set as NOT NULL even though it should not * 7137: Segmentation fault while loading data * 7138: Monetdb Python UDF crashes because of null aggr_group_arr * 7141: COUNT(DISTINCT col) does not calculate correctly distinct values * 7142: Aggregates returning tables should not be allowed * 7144: Type up-casting (INT to BIGINT) doesn't always happen automatically * 7146: Query produces this error: !ERROR: Could not find %102.%102 * 7147: Internal error occurs and is not shown on the screen * 7148: Select distinct is not working correctly * 7151: Insertion is too slow * 7153: System UDFs lose their indentation - Python functions broken * 7158: Python aggregate UDF returns garbage when run on empty table * 7161: fix priority

Announcement: New Oct2020-SP5 Bugfix release of MonetDB suite

by Sjoerd Mullender

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Oct2020-SP5 bugfix release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Oct2020-SP5 Bugfix Release (11.39.17) Windows Packaging * Added the monetdbe library to the Windows installer. MonetDB Common * A bug that would very occasionally produce an error "strPut: incorrectly encoded UTF-8", even when no incorrectly coded characters are used at all, has been fixed. It was the result of a rare combination of strings having been added to the column that caused essentially an off-by-one type of error to occur. SQL Frontend * A bug where a sequence of TRUNCATE TABLE and COPY INTO the just truncated table would result in success being reported to both queries, but the table still being empty afterwards, has been fixed. Merovingian * When stopping monetdbd using the `monetdbd stop' command, this command now waits for 5 seconds longer than the exittimeout value before it kills the monetdbd daemon instead of only 30 seconds total (or until that daemon stops earlier). This gives the daemon enough time to terminate the mserver5 processes that it is managing. If exittimeout is negative, the daemon and the monetdbd process initiating the stop wait indefinitely until the mserver5 processes have stopped. Bug Fixes * 3336: DB files not removed if all rows are deleted, even after restart * 7104: Monetdbe NTILE function does not produce correct ordering * 7108: Monetdb crashes on query execution * 7109: MERGE Statement incorrectly reports that input relation matches multiple rows * 7110: Monetdb Query parsing consistency issues in the latest release (Remote Table)
