[Monetdb-developers] Basics about MonetDB

by 叶亮

Hi, I'm a new comer with some questions about basic conceptions of MonetDB. 1. The executor I've ever found the executor of postgreSQL at src\backend\executor, but cannot make sure where it is like that in MonetDB src. MonetDB\MonetDB\src\gdk or MonetDB5-server\MonetDB5\src\mal ? 3. MAL MAL (MonetDB Assembly Language) is a script tool only for MonetDB or a common script language that can be applied to other softwares. Why it is a must in MonetDB ? 4. .mx files In MonetDB, .mx files are compiled to make .h and .c files generated.(in this way ?) Why is this routines ? (not just coding in .h and .c files directly) Yel ---- Best Regards richardroky(a)gmail.com

by kun ren

Dear all, hello,all, I download the windows installer of monetdb,and install,and then start MonetDB server, my computer has 4 cpus.and with 32bit windows xp ,but the MonetDB server only start one thread.when I run MonetDB in Linux with 2 cpus, it start 2 threads. so why? why I am in Windows xp with 4 cpus, it only create 1 thread ?

[Monetdb-developers] need help for extracting BAT

by Gaetano Fabiano

Hi all, i'm a new user of MonetDB. I worked on MonetDB/SQL and I can use well it. Now I need to use MonetDB directly with MAL. But i'm not so able to do that. I run the client with this command on linux: mclient -lmal -d database So I can write MAL istruction. But I don't need to create a procedure in MAL that doesn't access to my data. What I need to do is that: I need to give the BAT data of my DataBase and put all data on my application: example C++ ora Java array, after that I need to manipulate this BAT with my application and update the original BAT. How can I do that? summarizing i need: - Access to the BAT of the table of my Database. - Print it on monitor - Put it in array, file, stack, or any DataStruct with any programming language. - Set my manipulated BAT again in MonetDB. All of this is possible? Someone can help me? I'm sorry if I don't know the netiquette of your mailing list but I need to do that and I don't know where I could be helped. Thanks. Gaetano.

Thanks for taking care of this. My reason for not approving the error messages in the first place was that I was not sure about the intention of the test, and hence, whether and which error messages are to be expected. I now understand from your approval that the error messages indeed match the intention of the test. I wonder, though, whether the error message is indeed what it should be. Saying "failed: Success" (see below) seems at least "odd" to me ...

[Monetdb-developers] about copy command of Monetdb

by kun ren

Dear all, Recently,I use TPC-H test the Monetdb, On windows ,so I use "copy ,, records,,,into,,from" to load data to Monetdb,when the size of the file is about 700M,It is OK.But when the size is 1.4G,the Monetdb server is auto stop when loading. But when I am in Linux, it is no problem. So I want to ask why it is wrong on windows when the file is so large? Best regards,

Re: [Monetdb-developers] RDF data management in MonetDB/SQL

by wangx

Dear Lefteris, Thank you for your reply. Your explanation will help me much. In addition, would you give me some guidelines on how to make the 6 different indices of the triple table be understood by the SQL/SPARQL query optimizer and used accordingly. If I want to implement this feature by myself, in which files the code should be added or modified. BTW, in the future, will you implement the MonetDB/SPARQL as a new supported front-end language? Will you consider to translate SPARQL to MAL directly, instead of through SQL to MAL (but this way you have to develop a SPARQL specific optimizer, instead of making use of the SQL optimizer)? Thank you so much.

For that, plain unformatted microseconds (in addition to the human-readable format) might be more convenient. (b) The "old" (still existing) "Timer" information is sent to stderr, thus, one can seem the Timer output without the need to grep through (potentially large) output, e.g., by simply redirecting the output to a file or even /dev/null --- obviously, aligning stderr & stdout in case of large multi-query scripts is then left to the user. The new timing output goes (together with the queries status summary like how many result tuples were produced) to stdout (only). (c) As the announcement (changelog) says, the new timing output is only produced with the "sql" formatter (i.e., not with, e.g., "raw" or "test", and hence, also not by default with `-s <sql-statement>` (unless one explicitly requests `-f sql`). For (a) & (b) would it be an option to consider to also send the plain unformatted times in microseconds to stderr to (better) support automatic post-processing of the timings? To cover also (c), we could consider doing that with all formatters, not only with "sql". ... just some ideas to think about and discuss ...

[Monetdb-developers] RDF data management in MonetDB/SQL

by wangx

Hi MonetDB developers, I have a question about RDF data management in MonetDB/SQL. The comment of sql.rdfshred says "shredding an RDF data file from location results in 7 new tables (6 permutations of SPO and a mapping) ... We can then query with SQL queries the RDF triple store by quering tables gid_spo, gid_pso etc., ...". In my option, if the spo table is considered the triples table, the other 5 tables (sop, pso, pos, osp, ops) (except the mapping table) can be viewed as indexes of the triples table spo. When I write SQL to query the shredded RDF data in the triples table, I have two ways. The first way is to only use spo table to make self-joins. The second way is to use all 6 tables to make joins. I noticed that "MonetDB/SQL Reference Manual" says that "The heart is the MonetDB server, which comes with the following innovative features. ... Index selection, creation and maintenance is automatic". If I use 6 tables (as indexes) explicitly to make joins, it seems that I write the query plan by myself. However, I think this work should be done by the SQL optimizer using statistics from the system catalog. I wondered if these tables have already been specified as indexes in the internal code, or if there is a way to specify it so that the optimizer can use them as indexes to generate query plans. I am not sure if my understanding is correct. I will appreciate any help from developers. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Xin Wang
