Re: [Monetdb-developers] tables/databases simultaneous updates & extended-stored-procedures

Thanks Martin; let me explain better: if table update are too costly (slow etc) then could try insertion instead (having/including the timestamps as an index) providing the server can cope with very frequent table insertions. Is there any benchmark tests in relation to table insertions? Regarding :

...

Concurrent transactions can freely read a consistent copy of the database.

does this mean "dirty reads" ?

Thanks Neils for your prompt reply.

Is there a quantified limitation on "insertions" on scenarios I mentioned below (multiple tables/database)? I.e. Does very frequent insertions on 2 or more tables (on same database or other database on the same server) in any way effect the performance of the other queries (select,insert,update) on the "same" or "other" tables (i.e. is parallel processing possible & locking performance etc). Regards

Trying to interpret you question what it means. MonetDB does not lock tables or databases during update. Concurrent transactions can freely read a consistent copy of the database. All interference comes from sharing the same CPU, memory and IO channels.

Hi

I have a couple of questions and really appreciate if any one could answer them or instruct me to the relevant forum topics:

1- what is the limitations (speed, threshold etc) on simultaneous tables /databases update i.e. via multiple odbc connection lets say (also any other faster API to interface with the MonetDB ?) MonetDB research concentrated mostly in low update/high query loads. The update implementation is still quite capable, but no reall performance experiments on updates have been conducted. Next to odbc we have mapi and jdbc APIs available.

2- Is there a way to have the triggers to generate real-world (non-db) events i.e. similar to the Extended Stored Procedure in SqlServer or the way Oracle allows you to run Java code inside the stored procedures. MonetDB can be extended using C-code and that code could be run within
