Since when? I have been told 4 width *tabs* (not spaces) is the standard in the MonetDB project. You seem to suggest here that I should use spaces instead... Off-topic: is there anyone who actually uses 8 width tabs within vi?

[Monetdb-developers] max size of a bat
by Peter Boncz 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Folks, MIN(2G, 4GB/sizeof(type)) is indeed the maximum number of elements in a BAT for 32-bits systems. Obviously, for 64-bits operating systems, no such restriction exists. Peter

I assume that I need to use BATkunion as opposed to BATsunion since I'm looking only at the head column. And that the fragments satisfy the set property since they are fragments of a larger BAT with a non- repeating oid range. Am I thinking right? Do I need to set any properties on the BAT for the union to work? Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/uptick

[Monetdb-developers] Splicing vertically fragmented BATs
by Joel Reymont 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Folks, What series of GDK operations (possibly with module extensions) can I use to splice a vertically fragmented BAT? I'm looking to do this in C/C++ as opposed to MIL. Thanks in advance, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/uptick

[Monetdb-developers] X100
by Joel Reymont 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Is it possible to look at the X100 source code or more detailed information right now? What I'm trying to accomplish is basically the same, in Common Lisp. I read through Peter Boncz's Ph.D. thesis as well as the X100 paper. One thing that I don't understand is whether the X100 scan retrieves vectors from _all_ participating BATs. I'm also wondering how the size of the cache (and thus the size of the vector) is determined. Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/uptick

[Monetdb-developers] Deleting and inserting BUNs. What happens?
by Joel Reymont 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Folks, According to Peter's Ph. D. thesis I need to keep track of deleted (and inserted?) BUNs in [void, ...] BATs since the head is densely packed. Do I still need to do that and what happens when BUNs are deleted and inserted in [oid, ...] BATs? Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/uptick
