Hi all, i'm a new user of MonetDB. I worked on MonetDB/SQL and I can use well it. Now I need to use MonetDB directly with MAL. But i'm not so able to do that. I run the client with this command on linux: mclient -lmal -d database So I can write MAL istruction. But I don't need to create a procedure in MAL that doesn't access to my data. What I need to do is that: I need to give the BAT data of my DataBase and put all data on my application: example C++ ora Java array, after that I need to manipulate this BAT with my application and update the original BAT. How can I do that? summarizing i need: - Access to the BAT of the table of my Database. - Print it on monitor - Put it in array, file, stack, or any DataStruct with any programming language. - Set my manipulated BAT again in MonetDB. All of this is possible? Someone can help me? I'm sorry if I don't know the netiquette of your mailing list but I need to do that and I don't know where I could be helped. Thanks. Gaetano.
