Hi Guys, I have got my Crystal Language bindings for MonetDB now working quite well. https://github.com/puppetpies/crystal-monetdb-libmapi I've seen options in the mapi code for a variable called mode that allow you format the response data in XML but it doesn't seem to be implemented fully in the mapi code. Are there any guide lines to processing this RAW query output. % threatmonitor.fruits, threatmonitor.fruits, threatmonitor.fruits, threatmonitor.fruits, threatmonitor.fruits # table_name % name, price, weight, comments, id # name % varchar, varchar, int, clob, int # type % 9, 4, 2, 11, 1 # length [ "Apple", "9.99", 50, NULL, 1 ] [ "Bananna", "3.99", 30, NULL, 2 ] [ "Orange", "7.99", 60, NULL, 3 ] [ "Peach", "5.00", 80, NULL, 4 ] [ "Kiwi", "9.00", 20, NULL, 5 ] [ "Tomato", "2.00", 20, "Yes a fruit", 6 ] [ "Pear", "4.00", 30, "Juicy", 7 ] [ "Nectarine", "6.00", 50, "Juicy", 8 ] Regards, Brian Hood
