[MonetDB-users] XQuery API and XLink/XUpdate support
by Alexandra Mart�nez 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Hello all, I was wondering if there is any documentation about the API for XQuery (i.e., how to write xqueries from a Java program). Also, I am interested in using some features of XLink and XUpdate on top of my XML database. Is support for any of these in progress? Thanks in advance, Alexandra ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/

[MonetDB-users] (no subject)
by Matt Magoffin 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hello, I am interested in evaluating MonetDB/XQuery. I have some XML collections for a project I work on that are of 1-2 million individual XML documents for which I use XQuery to access for OLAP style reporting operations. This is a Java-based project, and while working on this project I developed a thin XQuery-centric API so that I could evaluate/use many different XQuery implementations, which my company released as an open source project called Xaj (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xaj) Currently I am using a Berkeley DB XML implementation, but am interested in exploring other options. I'd like to implement a MonetDB version of this API now, but I am having some difficulty finding out how to effectively access MonetDB through Java. So far I was able to use the MonetDB JDBC driver to construct XQuery statements and get XML results, and also I was able to construct MonetDB pf:add-doc() statements to add documents, but I am wondering if this is the best approach (and if so, how to add documents to a remote MonetDB server using the pf:add-doc() mechanism). The API I am trying to implement you can view here, to give you an idea what I'm trying to do: http://xaj.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xaj/xaj/src/net/sf/xaj/XmlDb.java?rev… It was somewhat modeled after the defunct XML:DB API, but focused just on add/store/XQuery operations. Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated! -- m@

[MonetDB-users] New MonetDB Release
by Stefan Manegold 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Dear MonetDB users and developers, The MonetDB team at CWI is pleased to announce the new "Jun2008" release of the MonetDB suite of programs. For MonetDB/XQuery, this release marks the roll forward from the old "milprint_summer"-based Pathfinder compiler to the new "Algebra"-based Pathfinder compiler. MonetDB/SQL has been extended with initial support for OpenGIS via the "Geom[etry]" extension module, aka. MonetDB/SQL/GIS. Additionally, the configure defaults for compilation from sources on Unix(-like) systems as well as the Windows installers have been cleaned-up. For more information, please see the detailed release notes at http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Version4.24/ IMPORTANT NOTE: Before upgrading to the latest "Jun2008" release from any previous release of MonetDB, please make a dump of your database, and rename/move/backup the database directories (dbfarm, sql_logs, xquery_logs). After the upgrade, restore your database, again. Once you have checked and confirmed the correctness of the restore, you can delete the above renamed/moved/backed-up old database directories. For more information, please see the detailed release notes at http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Version4.24/ The new release consists of the following packages: MonetDB Common 1.24.0 MonetDB Clients 1.24.0 MonetDB4 Server 4.24.0 MonetDB4 XQuery 0.24.0 MonetDB5 Server 5.6.0 MonetDB5 SQL 2.24.0 MonetDB5 Geom 0.4.0 monetdb-1.8-jdbc.jar There is of course also a new "Super Source Ball", a tarball containing the combined sources. All this is available on our SourceForge project page. See https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967 for the downloadable files. Enjoy! The MonetDB development team. -- | Dr. Stefan Manegold | mailto:Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl | | CWI, P.O.Box 94079 | http://www.cwi.nl/~manegold/ | | 1090 GB Amsterdam | Tel.: +31 (20) 592-4212 | | The Netherlands | Fax : +31 (20) 592-4312 |

[MonetDB-users] Python on Windows

Does anyone know how to get the Python libs running on Win XP? Tried it with latest trunk and release versions of Monet, and with Python 2.4 and 2.5 File "C:\Python25\lib\MonetDB\MapiLib.py", line 7, in <module> import _MapiLib ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. _MapiLib.pyd is there alright. Is this a version problem? Thanks, Kees

[MonetDB-users] MonetDB database size restrictions
by Sam Mason 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hi, I hope you don't get asked this question too often, I've had a look for FAQs but couldn't find anything obvious. I'm trying to load some data into MonetDB (built on a i386 Debian "etch" box from MonetDB-Feb2008-SuperBall.tar.bz2) and I'm getting strange problems. I've got a table with 11 columns (2 int, 5 varchar, 4 date) and about 38 million rows (the text file I want to pull in is 3.3GB). If I try COPYing the data in, Monet alternately stops making progress (the computer is reading from the disk slowly, so maybe it's just going to take a *long* time to finish) or crashes with the following message: !SQLException:importTable:failed to import table !ERROR: GDKload: cannot mmap(): name=24/2470, ext=tail.priv !OS: Cannot allocate memory !ERROR: GDKload failed: name=24/2470, ext=tail.priv If I try splitting the file into smaller pieces (about a gig each), things work and I end up with the data in the database. It would be nice to know why I needed to split the file up first. Now I've got the data in I tried running a few queries to make sure everything went OK. I'm getting some very strange results when doing aggregations. The following work: SELECT count(*) FROM source_livestock; +----------+ | count_ | +==========+ | 37898310 | +----------+ SELECT sex_code, count(*) FROM source_livestock GROUP BY sex_code; +----------+---------------+ | sex_code |count_sex_code | +==========+===============+ | M | 17505304 | | F | 20392997 | | null | 9 | +----------+---------------+ This last query came back amazingly quickly, about ten times faster than Postgres. Monet looks like a fairly amazing database if I can routinely expect queries to be this much faster. SELECT count(*); +--------------+ | single_value | +==============+ | 1 | +--------------+ but the following don't do what I'd expect: SELECT count(1); MAPI = monetdb@endemic:50001 ACTION= read_line QUERY = select count(1); ERROR = Connection terminated I'd expect to get a single row with a single value containing the number 1 from this query. And for the following query I'd expect to get the same, just with the result being zero. SELECT count(null); !syntax error, unexpected sqlNULL in: "select count(null" This is how I found the bug: SELECT sex_code, count(1) FROM source_livestock GROUP BY sex_code; !TypeException:user.s3_1[26]:'aggr.count_no_nil' undefined in: _36:bat[:any,:int] := aggr.count_no_nil(_35:bte, _31:bat[:oid,:oid], _32:bat[:oid,:oid]) !SQLException:sql.rsColumn:Cannot access descriptor !WARNING: BATdescriptor: range error 1 I've come to expect COUNT(*) and COUNT(1) as having the same semantics. But I may be missing something. SELECT sex_code, count(1+1) FROM source_livestock GROUP BY sex_code; !TypeException:user.s4_1[28]:'aggr.count_no_nil' undefined in: _39:bat[:any,:int] := aggr.count_no_nil(_38:bte, _32:bat[:oid,:oid], _33:bat[:oid,:oid]) +----------+---------------------+ | sex_code |sql_add_single_value | +==========+=====================+ | M | monetdb | +----------+---------------------+ This second one is particularly bad because I get an incorrect answer back. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Sam

[MonetDB-users] MonetDB Server dies on connect
by Robert Schumacher 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hello, i was evaluating MonetDB. Got the Server running finr on Windows XP x64. I created about 12 Tabled by using a JDBC Client, then the Server died instantly. Since then when I start the Server it dies asap when I either start the Windows Client or perform a JDBC connection. I get no error log, no message, nothing. Has anybody an idea how to get MonetDB to stop crashing on connect?
