Hi, I just started to use MonetDB. My PC is Windows XP. I installed the MonetDB-XQuery-0.10.2.msi and few weeks later after the newer version come out, I uninstalled from Control Panel & install 0.12.0. I have several questions: 1. How to run the query from the command prompt and get the timing? Currently, everytime I want to run the query, I have to start XQuery Server (start - all programs - monetdb xquery - XQuery Server). After that I save the xquery into .xq file, then run it by right click - open with MPFClient. I've tried the following in XQuery Server but it gives me error: MonetDB>MapiClient -T -lx test.xq; !ERROR: "MapiClient -T -lx test.xq;" ! ^ ! can't help you here, sorry. MonetDB> 2. I tried to run the example in the website, books1.xq and books2.xq and slashdot.xq. In the files, the xml file is from internet. But when I run the files, the following error message come out: ERROR: No such file or directoryI/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/files/bib.xml" ERROR: shred:mainSHREDDER: xmlCreateURLParserCtxt(" http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/files/bib.xml") failed ERROR: CMDshred2bats: operation failed. ERROR: interpret_params: +(param 2): evaluation error. Is it connection problem? How to modify the connection settings so that I can download data from internet? 3. voc2.xq and voc5.xq give the following error: type error: [err:XPTY0004] Orderspec requires at most one atomic item (given: string*). 4. Where is the shredded document being stored? Is it in the place where I install the program or in My Documents? Because before I uninstall 0.10.2, I shredded some documents, and after I uninstall then install 0.12.0, the shredded xml documents are still there. Thanks, Klarinda
