Hi,

I am trying to get started with MonetDB in order to assess its response time for an in-house dataset.

I managed to configure/make/install it on my MacBook Pro (I have joined the custom Portfile I used for this purpose at the end of this email in case it matters).

Nevertheless, when I go through the "Getting started" instructions, mclient is asking for credentials that I never had a chance to explicitly set:

ph7:~$ monetdbd start

ph7:~$ monetdbd get all property value hostname Solaris.local dbfarm /opt/local/var/monetdb5/dbfarm mserver /opt/local/bin/mserver5 logfile merovingian.log pidfile merovingian.pid sockdir /tmp port 50000 controlport 50001 discoveryport 50000 exittimeout 60 forward proxy discoveryttl 600 passphrase <unknown> mapisock /tmp/.s.monetdb.50000 controlsock /tmp/.s.merovingian.50001

ph7:~$ monetdb create demo created database in maintenance mode: demo

ph7:~$ monetdb status name state uptime health last crash demo locked

ph7:~$ monetdb release demo taken database out of maintenance mode: demo

ph7:~$ monetdb status name state uptime health last crash demo stopped

ph7:~$ mclient -d demo user(ph7): password: InvalidCredentialsException:checkCredentials:invalid credentials for user 'ph7'

Which credentials I am supposed to use to launch mclient? I am willing to try any workaround as, at this point, I am not concerned with security at all.

Thanks in advance, - Philippe
