Re: MonetDB taking lot of storage space

Hi Amir, May I assume "cr" stands for "crore" (c.f.., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crore), I.e. 1 cr = 10 million = 10^7 = 10,000,000 ? The plain expected size of the database assuming only fixed-width column types and ignoring automatically generated indexes, etc.Can be assumed as does * columns * (average) width per column, e.g.,Assuming all 4 byte numerical columns:(4+5) * 10^7 * 10 * 4 byte = 36 * 10^8 ~= 3.6 GBor twice as much for all 8 byte columns. Your 196 GB is far from that. Are you sure there is no other left-over data in your database?As Jennie suggested, did you do a lot of update (insert, delete) operations on these tables?Which (top-level) directories in your dbfarm are the largest?

What do you mean with “5cr rows”? Compressed Rows? 198GB is indeed pretty big, so it’s expected to contain a lot of table data. If you don’t have variable length columns, it’s easy to compute the expected storage space: #rows * #columns * (sum of the length of each column). Are your database fresh or a lot of insert and delete have been conducted on them? Then, the deletes might have leaved garbages. Did you happen to have put larges BLOBs or CLOBs in some columns? Which MonetDB version and OS do you use?

SQLsetTrace assumes in-place append
by Roberto Cornacchia 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Background: I'm working on a side-effect-free branch of MonetDB. No in-place operations allowed. With bat.append() already changed this way, everything seemed to work so far, except TRACE. Even TRACE SELECT 1 would fail. I looked at it and the reason is that SQLsetTrace assumed in-place appends, thus first adding new empty bats to resultset, then filling in those bats. Everywhere else this is not assumed. The return bat of append is always created and used, even if it is the same of the first operand. The diff in attachment makes it work for both branches and is in my opinion more correct and consistent with the rest of the code. Best, Roberto

How to use prepared statements within a function
by Luis Larios 08 Jun '17

Hi, We’d like to know if there is a way to create and execute prepared statements within an SQL function. In particular, once that we use: “prepare select * from table” How can I retrieve the prepared statement ID to use in an exec()? Thanks, Luis Ángel.
