[Monetdb-developers] cvs problems continue
by Niels Nes 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

MonetDB developers Sourceforge cvs has serious problems (my guess is their raid system is broken and no spare is available). This (again) raises the question if sourceforge is the appropriate place for our cvs repository. Does anybody have better experiences with other sites like sourceforge?

Thank you everyone for your responses. I am working on a project on persistant storage of XML documents. Where I have simultaneously query multiple XML documents that are persistantly stored (but not cached) in a database like monetdb. I do all the querying using JDBC. I was wondering if there is any way that I can storage the XMLdocuments through my program rather than explicitly storing them using the shred_doc() before the execution of the program. Once again Thank you all.

The XML document cache keeps indexed copies of documents that where recently used in the fn:doc(URI) xquery function. The size of the cache is controlled using the 'xquery_cacheMB' setting in the 'MonetDB.conf' file. For file URIs, the cache looks at the last-modification-time of the file on disk to guarantee that the cached document is still up-to-date for answering queries from. For other URIs, *lifetime rules* determine how long documents can stay in the cache. Each lifetime rule consists of a URI prefix and the registered seconds of lifetime. The rule with longest prefix that matches an URI counts. Specifying a lifetime of 'int(nil)' seconds means that the URI will *not* be cached at all. This is also the default if no prefix matches an URI. The name of a cached document is the same as its location (URI). For explicitly shredded documents (with 'shred_doc(location,name)'), the name is an 'alias' and may differ from the URI. Explicitly shredded documents fall outside the XML document cache; documents are only removed at explicit user request (with 'delete_doc(name)').

[Monetdb-developers] adding documents to Monetdb

Hello Everyone, Is it possible to load the XML documents to MonetDb using a java application? I have been using Shred_doc() from the command line to load the documents. Is there any other method using JDBC. Thank you, Swati --------------------------------------------- Swati Tata Research Assistant Advanced Genetic Technology Center (AGTC) University of Kentucky Room# 222 Plant Science Building, 1405 Veterans Drive Lexington, KY 40546-0312 Ph: (859)257-7445 x80740 Email: swtata(a)uky.edu
