DEC2016-SP2 and BINARY bulk load
by Lynn Carol Johnson 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hi all – I have always used the COPY BINARY INTO … commands to load my 2.0 Billion row genetic data into a monetdb table. With 135 columns, it has been blindingly fast. Last week I moved from the June2016-SP2 release to dec2016-SP2. My binary loads are taking WAY longer. I killed one after 3 hours (via “call sys.stop(pid)” so it could clean up properly). I then started the load again, thinking perhaps the problem was related to the new columns I was adding. I have since dropped the table and remade it using the same data and scripts that worked in just over 3 minutes in February on the jun2016-SP2 load. It is really chugging along – I’m up to 30 minutes and counting. I don’t have access to the sql log files, but the Merovingian.log shows nothing. I do notice that previously the binary files, once loaded, were removed from the loading directly. This does not happen now. Were these files previously “moved” and now they are copied? Has anyone see this performance issue with Dec2016-SP2 COPY BINARY INTO …. Commands? Thanks - Lynn

Setting Up Tools
by Sandy 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Just getting back into trying MonetDB after many years. Got the environment set up pretty well with the test DB `VOC` loaded up and able to do all expected in the command line tools. So I figured I would give a couple of the mentioned GUI tools a shot and see how they work against the server I just set up on a virtual box. I picked up the JDBC drivers and installed on my Window's 10 install of SQuirrel SQL and DBeaver. I got both of the drivers works sort of... On DBeaver I can execute and see queries in the tool but can't do much more than that. Overall looks like an issue with accessing the system table `sys.environment`, not sure if anything related to set up or rights. Using the `voc` user as created with the example db in the getting started. Any help or thought on where to start? Thanks! Sandy -------- Errors * DBeaver 4.0.8 On inspection of some of the logs I see things like - `Error loading object metadata from database` `SQL Error [22000]: SELECT: access denied for voc to table 'sys.environment' java.sql.SQLException: SELECT: access denied for voc to table 'sys.environment'` * SQuirreL SQL Client 3.7.1 java.sql.SQLException: SELECT: access denied for voc to table 'sys.environment' -------- Driver and DB versions I'm using this JAR for the drivers - C:\Users\Squidward\Downloads\monetdb-jdbc-2.25.jar, 2.25 (Liberica 20170330 based on MCL v1.15) MonetDB version - MonetDB v11.25.23 (Dec2016-SP5), 'mapi:monetdb://sandy-VirtualBox-18:50000/voc'

Defining a table with a sorted column
by Cota, Luis 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Is it possible to define a table such that the server maintains the table sorted with each new row? I'm dealing with observations on market data, and while market data for a specific stock symbol will be sorted, I will be adding multiple symbols to the same table in chunks, so that each symbol is contained within its own load file, and is sorted within that file. How can I enforce this constraint? - Luis ________________________________ IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.

Function with table as argument that return a table
by imad hajj chahine 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Hi, I want to create a Python function that accept a query as argument, do some processing and return another table, In addition to the table columns I want to have some additional scalar parameters and i am getting the following error: function requires a single sub query. CREATE function f1(col1 string, col2 int, col3 double, scalar1 int) RETURNS TABLE(col1 string, col2 double, col3 double, col4 double) LANGUAGE PYTHON Is this the normal behavior of Table function, as in aggregate function I can combine columns with scalar parameters, any workaround for this issue. Thank you.

Possible bug with table generating functions
by Mark Clements 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Is there a restriction on the use of the same table generating function in the same select statement? This relates to the following possible bug: -- reimplement generate_series for MonetDBLite CREATE FUNCTION my_generate_series(start INT, finish INT) RETURNS TABLE (value INT) BEGIN DECLARE TABLE tmp_generate_series(value INT); DECLARE i INT; SET i = start; WHILE (i <= finish) DO INSERT INTO tmp_generate_series VALUES(i); SET i = i + 1; END WHILE; RETURN tmp_generate_series; END; --- This seems to work quite nicely: select * from my_generate_series(1,10); -- and it's fast: select count(*) from my_generate_series(1,100000); -- however, I get odd and non-deterministic counts for the following: select count(*) from my_generate_series(1,100) as t1, my_generate_series(1,100) as t2; This is using MonetDB v11.23.3 (Jun2016) that was compiled with embedded R, but not run with --set embedded_r=true. I got similar errors with MonetDBLite. Kindly, Mark.

Can anyone recommend any tools (commercial or open source) which assist in administering a MonetDB instance? Things I'd like to do are: Create tables from existing data files (CSV, TXT, HDF5) Import or query Oracle databases and either create tables, or populate tables, with the results of those queries Query existing monetdb instances Thanks, Luis ________________________________ IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
