Select from remote table leaves session open
by Николай Чернов 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

I have two databases (v11.27.13 both) on two Debian8 machines. One with corrupted table (in my case it got corrupted due to bug in Jul2017-SP1) and another with remote table to the corrupted table. When I run the SELECT query from the remote table I get an error. And the session, opened by this query to the first DB did not close. I see it by querying 'sys.sessions' table. And every time I run this SELECT I get additional record in 'sys.sessions'. This happens only if en error occurs, on … [View More]

Converting a timestamp to a UNIX timestamp
by Bernát Marcell 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Dear MonetDB users, I'm looking for a way to convert a timestamp (or timestamp string) like "2018-02-14 23:59:59" to a UNIX timestamp using MonetDB's functions. In MySQL this can be done using the function UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), so I'm looking for the MonetDB equivalent of that, if it exists. I found sys.epoch(), but that does the opposite of what I need. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Marcell

MonetDB Connection drops issue on concurrency
by Sharma, Sreejith 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Hi All, We have a situation where we are trying to emulate a scenario where we have multiple clients hitting into MonetDB instance in parallel, I mean with concurrency of for say 12 users. Queries are going through fine, however we notice connection drops in some cases and queries get cancelled. We assume, this happens when port is idle and when trying to reconnect there is a SQLConnect failure issues. If it's queries are firing uninterruptedly no issues spotted, if there is any idle … [View More]

Diacritic removal
by Roberto Cornacchia 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Just wondering, before I do it myself, whether "normalizing" strings by removing diacritics is a feature that you guys would consider interesting to implement. (I am aware that results of this "normalization" can be unsatisfactory in some cases - I'm ok with most obvious cases covered) Basically, something like what iconv does here: $ echo "Ã é ç" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT A e c I can imagine that these above would be pretty easy to solve using the same hash lookup approach used … [View More]

MonetDB Evaluation - Excessive slowness in a particular query
by Alfio Bettini 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Hi all, we're testing MonetDB performances in order to understand if it could be possible to use it as data mart in our BI software. We're considering a set of queries executed in our test environment (CentOS 7, 32 GB RAM, 4 cpu). All the executed queries have quite good performances (between 10 and 45 seconds) except the following one that is taking several minutes in order to be executed: SELECT id, count(distinct value) FROM table GROUP BY id; The table contains 100 millions of data. It … [View More]

SQL Connect issues - ODBC Driver failure when idle situation
by Sharma, Sreejith 06 Feb '18

Hi All, Have a quick question - I have a situation where we are trying to emulate a scenario where we have multiple clients hitting into MonetDB instance in parallel, I mean with concurrency of for say 12 users. Queries are going through fine, however we notice some cases when a port/machine is idle and trying to reconnect we are finding SQLConnect failure issues. If it's queries are firing continuously it's fine, here if when some idle situation it may occur. Can the "forward" - redirect … [View More]
