[MonetDB-users] MonetDB on Windows
Hi,
I haven't looked at monetdb for a while, but now for a new project I have I think it would be a really good solution. I downloaded the current windows installers yesterday (I want to develop this project on Windows for various reasons, specifically related to demos of another component part of the project I need to get up and running quickly that will need to run on Windows) anyway the installers did not install. I don't necessarily want to compile the source etc. since I didn't want to spend a lot of time on getting the database to work in the demo phase, so the question is: what is the last working Windows MSI version so I can download that version and worry about building a new one later?
The main problem in the installed servers are a hard coded path to a config file, according to the following error message I get:
Could not open file c:\Documents and Settings\sjoerd\My Documents\src\stable\vs32\NT32\etc\monetdb5.conf
I guess I could create that path for the purposes of testing but I would rather get a working version.
Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen
Hmm, I moved the installation to a virtual image I have. The reason is that on my normal environment when I try to run the server after installation I get a Visual Studio JIT debugging message, which seems to be related to the hardcoded path I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately I've uninstalled VS from my normal environment, but I have it in the VM. So I go into the VM and run it and no errors, it runs fine.
Anyone ever see anything like that, have ideas on the fix??
Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen

Ok, I went and reset DR. Watson to be the default debugger, and I got a 0xc0000005 exception http://www.updatexp.com/0xC0000005.html I guess my problem is DEP related, I have /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN "Enables DEP for core system images and those specified in the DEP configuration dialog. " in my boot.ini. I suppose for now I will either have to run on a VM, or figure out how to turn off DEP for MonetDB.

I have never seen this problem occur on my Windows boxes. My 32-bit Windows system is broken at the moment, so I can't check boot.ini. My 64-bit Windows system does have this option. MonetDB does not use dynamic code generation and is written in C and not C++, so it looks like suggestion two on that website does not apply. But since I have never seen that error, I don't know what to make of it.

Hello Brayan,
Just for your info. I have just installed the latest released version of the windows installer, 32bits, ie. MonetDB5-SQL-INstaller-i386-20080624.msi and MonetDB4-XQuery-Installer-i386-20080624.msi on a clean (i.e. never installed monet before) Win XP SP 3 machine. I didn't have the path problem as you describe. I was able to start the server+client and run a simple query (select * from users).
Regards,
Jennie
I guess I could create that path for the purposes of testing but I would rather get a working version.

In the top level folder of the installation is a batch script (M5server.bat) which calls the executable with the correct options to override the built-in paths. In particular, it set the prefix and exec_prefix options.
Hi,
Yeah, when I run that script I get the 0xc0000005 exception, which I figured had something to do with the DEP data execution protection settings in my Windows installation. It doesn't raise that exception when I run it in the VM.
