[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 using all availaible disk space
by Ruben Silva 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hello, I'm performing some bulk inserts into some tables (COPY INTO). Meanwhile some JOINs between those tables are executed and also some DELETEs. During this JOIN's, the disk begins to fill up and only stops after there is no more space available (60GB in my case). Same for RAM. After a (long) while the space gets freed up. The COPY INTO's are done without any significant delay. The files that use that space are some .tail and .head in the database bat folder. If the queries are not concurrent there aren't any problems. The JOIN it's not using any PK or FK. Have some one noticed this before? Should I open a bug report? Ruben Silva * *

Using GeoSpatial functionality
by Dennis Pallett 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hello, I want to start using the GeoSpatial features of MonetDB and according to http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Extensions/GIS I need to rebuild MonetDB with the --enable-geom argument to do so. Does this mean that all the existing binaries published do not include the GeoSpatial functionality? If so, I need to follow the guide at http://www.monetdb.org/Developers/SourceCompile to build my own version of MonetDB, correct? Best regards, Dennis Pallett

Re: Are joins really this expensive?

Forwarding to user-list as this seems to have gotten lost Actually, I'm running a few different versions of MonetDB on different environments. July2012SP2, Feb2013SP4 & SP5. July2012SP2 on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu); Feb2013SP5 on Windows and Linux, and Feb2013SP4 on Linux. All were installed using pre-built packages/installers. The trace files themselves are from a Linux Feb2013SP4 installation. The Feb2013SP5 install was an inplace install on top of July2012SP2 and wasn't sure if different "data" versions would cloud the trace. To Martins questions (which I never got in my inbox...or junk) yes, date_hour_id is a unique key for the dim_date_hour table, but obviously duplicated within the fact_utilization_hourly table. My question was more generalized, but if a specific solution can be found, fantastic. In general I am seeing joins drastically reduce performance overall. All are running on EC2; m1.xlarge with High I/O Thanx, Bryan On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 9:10 AM, Bryan Senseman <monetdb(a)openbi.com> wrote: > Forwarding to user-list as this seems to have gotten lost > > Actually, I'm running a few different versions of MonetDB on different > environments.

Dump database with other than admin-user - access denied
by Klaus Kruse 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hello, we will run MonetDB on two servers and while installing and so on went fine, I struggle with the backup solution. For this, we normally add a separate user with full rights. The dump seems to fail on the sys.db_user_info : mclient --format=sql --user=backup > /dump-file MAPI = backup@localhost:50000 QUERY = SELECT "name" FROM "sys"."auths" WHERE "name" NOT IN (SELECT "name" FROM "sys"."db_user_info") AND "grantor" <> 0 ORDER BY "name" ERROR = !SELECT: access denied for backup to table 'sys.db_user_info' Ok, let's give it a try: GRANT ALL ON sys.db_user_info TO "backup" ; operation successful (1.874ms) MAPI = backup@localhost:50000 QUERY = SELECT "ui"."name", "ui"."fullname", "password_hash"("ui"."name"), "s"."name" FROM "sys"."db_user_info" "ui", "sys"."schemas" "s" WHERE "ui"."default_schema" = "s"."id" AND "ui"."name" <> 'monetdb' ORDER BY "ui"."name" ERROR = !access denied for user 'backup' So, my question is: How to give another user than 'monetdb' full rights to dump the whole db?

Accessing MonetDB form Oracle DB
by baraa Mohamad 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

Dear MonetDB users, I have a question about accessing MonetDB via Oracle using ODBC. I have oracle on machine1 (ubuntu 64bit) and MonetDB on machine2(ubuntu 64bit)I installed Monetdb odbc driver using apt-get install libmonetdb-client-odbc I have done all the needed configurations for the listner, tnsnames, sqlnet, initservice.ora and I used UnixODBC. After creating the database link, I get this error when I try to connect MonetDB: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:[unixODBC][MonetDB][ODBC Driver 11.11.11]Client unable to establish connection{08001}ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MONETDB I don't know if the use of (64bit) needs some special configurations?? or its du to something else. So I need your help to figure out what is the problem.... Best regards,Baraa

Primary and Foreign keys
by Hilario Fernandes 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi, I've been trying to understand if there is any performance benefit in using primary and foreign key constraints when performing join queries. I've tested joining a table with 1 million rows with one with 60k. Tryed the same queries with and without constraints and couldn't see a significant change in execution time. The tables are not that big but they are a sample of what we'll be working with in average. Should i be seeing any difference? Hows do PK and FK constraints affect query performance in Monetdb? Will it only be noticeable with larger datasets? Thank you Hilario Fernandes

Are joins really this expensive?
by Bryan Senseman 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

I have created a traditional star-schema in MonetDB, using both Linux and Windows. We are using Mondrian OLAP on top so it generates the standard OLAP-y type of query using group-bys of dimensional values. What I’m finding is that doing joins in MonetDB is extremely expensive, for example: The following query against a fact table with 261 million rows returns in 9-11seconds consistently select date_hour_id/10000 as date_month_id, avg(seconds) from fact_utilization_hourly group by date_month_id; returning 41 rows, the query includes a “Trick” to get to a month_year value because the time_ids are smart keys… yyyyMMddhh. With the following query, using standard OLAP-y syntax, the query takes over 5 mins consistently. select year_month_value, avg(seconds) from fact_utilization_hourly f join dim_date_hour d on f.date_hour_id = d.date_hour_id group by year_month_value; returning the same 41 rows. I’m at a loss to figure out why this join causes a 3200% percent increase in response time. And this seems to have gotten worse in SP5 from anecdotal evidence.
