I found another broken link. On this page: http://www.monetdb.nl/projects/monetdb/SQL/QuickTour/HelloWorld/index.html The link on "starting and stopping the server" is http://www.monetdb.nl/projects/monetdb//SQL/Documentation/Start-and-Stop.htm But it should be: http://www.monetdb.nl/projects/monetdb/SQL/Documentation/Start-and-Stop.html (I removed the double // before SQL and google suggested trying .html instead of .htm which worked) On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 10:33 AM, Sjoerd Mullender wrote:

Hi,

I tried to download the linux version of MonetDB/SQL on this page http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb//Download/ but both the lzma and bz2 links 404.

Thanks for telling us.  I've fixed the links.

...

I instead followed the Ubuntu instructions available here: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/downloads/Ubuntu/ and it worked fine but I thought I'd point out the above.

Thanks, Guillaume

I think the PHP documention may be out of date as well. On this page: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/SQL/Documentation/The-PHP-Library.html I see these signatures: proto resource monetdb_connect([string host [, string port [, string username [, string password [, string language]]]]]) Open a MonetDB connection proto resource monetdb_pconnect([string host [, string port [, string username [, string password [, string language]]]]]) Open a persistent MonetDB connection But I kept getting this message when trying to use the default example to connect. Warning: monetdb_connect(): Unable to connect to MonetDB server: merovingian: please specify a database in /home/monet/monetdb_test.php on line 10 I think the method signature should probably be: proto resource monetdb_connect([string db_engine [, string host [, string port [, string username [, string password [, string db_name]]]]]) Open a MonetDB connection (I'm not sure what the proper wording would be for the difference between sql/xquery/other so I called it db_engine. There's probably already a word you already use for that though) On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Fabian Groffen wrote:

The link on "starting and stopping the server" is http://www.monetdb.nl/projects/monetdb//SQL/Documentation/Start-and-Stop.htm

But it should be: http://www.monetdb.nl/projects/monetdb/SQL/Documentation/Start-and-Stop.html

(I removed the double // before SQL and google suggested trying .html instead of .htm which worked)

How embarassing, I'll run a link checker tonight on the website.  Thanks for reporting!
