hi,
i do the following steps:
1. run the install program: MonetDB5-SQL-Installer-x86_64-20080214.msi
2. from the start menu, run the shortcut: MonetDB SQL Server
3. from the start menu, run the shortcut: MonetDB SQL Client
and... the MonetDB SQL Server window disapears....
a few days ago i installed it (first time in my life) and it worked. i started doing some testing for a couple of days, and suddenly the server stopped working. finally, i gave up: i removed it (using the install program) and re-installed it again (and again (to another directory)..).
more info:
1. starting the client with the -lmal option (instead of -lsql) dose NOT crashes the server. so i guess something is probably wrong with the sql layer.
2. during those couple of days that the server was working, i could not find any file related to the database in the whole file system, even though i managed to store some tables with a few millions of records. i was able to query these tables and (most of the time) getting the expected results, so i moved on ignoring this strange thing.
We will look into your problem here. The crash doesn't sound familiar, ie currently no idea whats wrong.
BTW:
i wonder what is the best way to migrate a database from MSSql server to MonetDB5?
For our experiments we use ascii dumps, ie csv files. Then we load these using copy into functionality. This should be the optimal route for monetdb/sql.
i tried to export a whole database (~30 millions of records) from MSSql2005 to MonetDB. first, i thought i could do it with the MSSql export wizard using the odbc driver, but this driver did not show up in the wizard as a target possibility. next, i tried to write a java program using the jdbc driver, but the performances rate weren't constant: one table with 3 columns (int,int,decimal) and about a half a million of records moved to MonetDB in ~3000 records per second. but another very similar table with 3 columns (int,int,int) and about 8 millions of records moved to MonetDB in ~30 records per second (actually, this process had been stopped as a result of an attempt to create another table, and since than, the server is dead.)
Does your your java program use auto commit. If so disabling it should improve the performance. Niels
thanks in advanced for any help,
