I resolved the problem by changing the line 38 of the file C:\Program Files\MonetDB\MonetDB5\M5server.bat from "%MONETDB%\bin\mserver5.exe" --set "prefix=%MONETDB%" --set "exec_prefix=%MONETDB%" %MONETDBFARM% %* to "%MONETDB%\bin\mserver5.exe" --set "prefix=%MONETDB%" --set "exec_prefix=%MONETDB%" %* %MONETDBFARM% so that --dbpath I specify as an argument to C:\Program Files\MonetDB\MonetDB5\MSQLserver.bat goes before the default --dbpath Gennadiy On Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:59:01 -0500 Gennadiy wrote:

Hello,

Before MonetDB Feb2013 Release, I used to start MonetDB using the following Windows command:

MSQLserver.bat --dbname=MyNewDatabase

MSQLserver.bat called M5server.bat, M5server.bat set --dbfarm option. The result was that database with name specified with --dbname option was created in the directory specified with --dbfarm option.

MonetDB Feb2013 Release replaced --dbname and --dbfarm options with single --dbpath option. This --dbpath option is set to some_path\dbfarm\demo in M5server.bat.

So, now (MonetDB Feb2013 Release) when I start MonetDB with the following Windows command:

MSQLserver.bat --dbpath=some_path\MyNewDatabase

MonetDB ignores my --dbpath option, because it uses --dbpath option from M5server.bat!

So, how can I start MonetDB and create my own database?

Thank you very much, Gennadiy _______________________________________________ users-list mailing list users-list@monetdb.org http://mail.monetdb.org/mailman/listinfo/users-list
