Re: Announcement: New Jul2017-SP1 Bugfix release of MonetDB suite

Hi Brian, There is actually one service the monetdb daemon (executable is monetdbd). This is responsible for performing a number of tasks including, spawning new monetdb servers (executable is mserver5). The tool monetdb (without the 'd' at the end) is the client for the monetdb daemon, i.e. the way you can issue commands to it. The idea is that the daemon might be running in a remote host and you need some way to talk to it. Installing monetdb through your distribution's package manager (the instructions for Fedora for instance can be found at [1]) should install systemd service specification for the monetdb daemon (in the source code [2]). You should be able to start the daemon using the following: $ sudo systemctl start monetdbd.service $ ps -wwfC monetdbd UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD monetdb 18149 1 0 11:31 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/monetdbd start /var/monetdb5/dbfarm Hope the above clears up a bit the issue.

Hi Sjoerd,

I was talking to some guys about howto work Monetdb under systemd a while ago.

I was thinking for MonetDB you have to have 2 services the monetdbd and monetdb which sort of gets messy.

I can stop my databases via monetdb but you can't do that via the other.

What about a tool that can do all.

Yes i could just write scripts.

Regards.

Brian

The MonetDB team at CWI/MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Jul2017-SP1 bugfix release of the MonetDB suite of programs.

More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at http://www.monetdb.org/.

Jul 2017-SP1 bugfix release

Build Environment * The Debian and Ubuntu installers have been fixed: there was a file missing in the Jul2017 release. * Added a new RPM called MonetDB-selinux which provides the SELinux policy required to run MonetDB under systemd, especially on Fedora 26. * The Windows installers (*.msi files) are now created using the WiX Toolset. * The Windows binaries are now built using Visual Studio 2015. Because of this, you may need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 before being able to run MonetDB.

Merovingian * monetdbd was leaking open file descriptors to the mserver5 process it started. This has been fixed.

MonetDB Common * Many functions in GDK are now annotated with the GCC attribute __warn_unused_result__ meaning that the compiler will issue a warning if the result of the function (usually an indication of an error) is not used.

Bug Fixes * 6325: Merge table unusable in other connections * 6328: Transactional/multi-connection issues with merge tables * 6336: VALUES multiple inserts error * 6339: Mserver5 crashes on nested SELECT * 6340: sample operator takes effect after the execution of the query, expected before * 6341: MERGE TABLE issue: Cannot register * 6342: MERGE TABLE issue: hang * 6344: Spurious errors and assertions (SQLsmith) * 6375: MAL profiler truncates JSON objects larger than 8192 characters _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org https://www.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list
