Multi-column update based on joined table
by Lee Hachadoorian 11 Aug '24

11 Aug '24

I need to update multiple columns (~250) from one table to another based on a two-column key. In Postgres I would write this using the FROM clause, but since MonetDB doesn't support the FROM clause, I've successfully updated one column with: UPDATE census.acs2010_5yr SET b07401001 = ( SELECT CAST(b07401001 AS int) FROM acs2010_5yr.tmp_seq0001 WHERE acs2010_5yr.stusab = tmp_seq0001.stusab AND acs2010_5yr.logrecno = tmp_seq0001.logrecno ); My question is whether there is any benefit to writing a multiple column update into a single UPDATE statement: UPDATE target_table SET column1 = (SELECT column1 FROM source_table WHERE target_table.key = source_table.key), column2 = (SELECT column2 FROM source_table WHERE target_table.key = source_table.key), ..., columnN = (SELECT columnN FROM source_table WHERE target_table.key = source_table.key); On Postgres I believe the multi-column update using a table join would only have to do the sequential scan of each table once, but with the necessity of sub-selects in MonetDB, what is the backend doing? Is it already doing an index scan once for each row in the single column case, then doing it once for each row * column in the multi-column case?

[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/

[Low level] Understanding duplicate entries in delta BAT (delete BAT)
by Frédéric Jolliton 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi, As per MonetDB Solution suggestion, we are asking here about this topic. We are studying how MonetDB store its database on disk. So far we were able to understand pretty much all the files (BAT, journal, BBP.dir, heap, hash, imprints, and so on). We have custom tools to decode and dump them (experimental at this point). There is one thing however that is unclear: we thought that "delta BAT", which are the BAT assigned to an SQL tables to list the OIDs of rows that were deleted (named "D_<schema>_<table>" internaly), would contains only *uniques* values (since you can never delete twice the same row). But on several databases that we are running, we found that some of theses BATs contain duplicates. Lot of duplicates actually. Especially on D_sys__columns and D_sys__tables BATs (respectively for the sys._columns and sys._tables system tables). Some databases do not have this "issue" (while they all have the same schema, and process the same kind of data as the other ones). Can someone explain if duplicates are expected in theses BATs ? Here is an excerpt of D_sys__tables: # hexdump -C 02/210.tail 00000000 2e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |......../.......| 00000010 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |0.......1.......| 00000020 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 33 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |2.......3.......| 00000030 34 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 35 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |4.......5.......| 00000040 36 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 37 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |6.......7.......| 00000050 42 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |B.......C.......| 00000060 44 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 45 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |D.......E.......| 00000070 46 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |F.......G.......| 00000080 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 49 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |H.......I.......| 00000090 4a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |J.......K.......| 000000a0 4c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4d 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |L.......M.......| 000000b0 4e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |N.......O.......| 000000c0 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |P.......P.......| 000000d0 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |Q.......P.......| 000000e0 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 52 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |Q.......R.......| 000000f0 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |P.......Q.......| 00000100 52 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 53 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |R.......S.......| 00000110 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |P.......Q.......| 00000120 52 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 53 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |R.......S.......| ...

Why aren't hashes preserved by joins?
by Roberto Cornacchia 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

I noticed a difference between - a hash-based string selection from a persistent, read-only table - a hash-based join on the same table and same column They both build a hash on the same string column (verified with gdb), but the select can reuse the hash (second call is almost free), while the join keeps rebuilding the hash. Is this expected? Roberto

group_concat in MAL not working due to algebra.uselect
by Puthick Hok 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, Last year, I was looking for the MAL definition of group_concat and Nik Schuiling gave me the MAL definition which is below. We compile MonetDB from source and this definition was working on MonetDB-11.19.9 (Oct2014-SP2). Since this version, there has been a number of newer versions of MonetDB. So, I was trying to upgrade our system to the latest version of MonetDB (11.21.13). After the installation of the newer version, I ran: select "DataSetId", group_concat("FieldName") from datasetmarkermeta group by "DataSetId"; from mclient interface and got the following error message: TypeException:kddart.subgroup_concat[5]:'algebra.uselect' undefined in: TIDs:any := algebra.uselect(g:bat[:oid,:oid],grpid:oid); MALException:kddart.subgroup_concat[0]:Error in cloned function TypeException:user.s2_1[15]:'kddart.subgroup_concat' undefined in: X_27:bat[:oid,:str] := kddart.subgroup_concat(X_26:bat[:oid,:str],X_16:bat[:oid,:oid],r1_16:bat[:oid,:oid],true:bit); program contains errors It says algebra.uselect function is not defined. How do I fix this problem? group_concat MAL definition start ------------------------------------------- module kddart; command group_concat(b:bat[:oid,:str]):str address KDDARTgroup_concat comment "Mal kddart"; function group_concat(b:bat[:oid, :str]):str; value := ""; barrier (h, t) := iterator.new(b); value := value + t; value := value + ""; redo (h, t) := iterator.next(b); exit (h, t); return value; end group_concat; function subgroup_concat(b:bat[:oid,:any_1],g:bat[:oid,:oid],e:bat[:oid,:any_2],skip_nils:bit) :bat[:oid,:str]; nw := aggr.count(e); nl := calc.lng(nw); bn := bat.new(:oid, :str, nl); # check 'e' has some values - this is the list of group IDs in the head # 'g' is the group to the data BAT head ID mapping # 'b' is the data column BAT that we are aggregating over barrier (grpid, t) := iterator.new(e); # select GID from TID->GID map to get matching TIDs TIDs := algebra.uselect(g,grpid); # get DATA for matching TIDs b_data := algebra.kintersect(b,TIDs); # aggregate grpval := group_concat(b_data); # Store the result for this group bat.insert(bn, grpid, grpval); redo (grpid, t) := iterator.next(e); exit (grpid, t); return bn; end subgroup_concat;

Query database inside embedded R
by Stefano Fioravanzo 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hello, We are trying to transition from a Postgres database to MonetDB. We had a few R function calls, so we decided to try embedded R. One of our R functions is designed to query the postgres database to get some more data to process. The problem, now, is how to integrate this function in Monet. We are using embeddedR to reduce latency, so using MonetDB.R inside the embedded function (if it is even possible) to query the database would be a total waste. Clearly the ultimate solution would be to make all the queries outside the function, but it would be really really hard to achieve this result given how the function is designed. What I am asking is the is some solution to this, like having some way to query the database inside embedded R avoiding the overhead of MonetDB.R. Thank you, Stefano
