Announcement: Second Release Candidate for Jan2014 Release
by Sjoerd Mullender 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

The MonetDB team at CWI/MonetDB BV is pleased to announce a second release candidate for the upcoming Jan2014 feature release. Many things have changed in this release compared to the previous (Feb2013) release (that's why it took so long). For a smooth upgrade I would urge you to try out this release candidate and to provide feedback on our bug tracker (http://bugs.monetdb.org) A number of bugs in the previous release candidate have been fixed. Among others, packaging errors on Debian and Ubuntu have been fixed, and a problem with slow startup has been fixed. The release candidate can be found at http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/testing. -- Sjoerd Mullender

Hi, I am running MonetDB Database Server Toolkit v1.1 (Feb2013-SP6) , I have a table DailyData defined as follows. create table DailyData ( sym varchar(32), businessdate date, closePrice float, adjustedClosePrice float, openingPrice float, accVol float, unique(businessdate, sym) ); I make the following query. with dd as (select * from DailyData where businessdate > '2013-06-01'), r as (select t.businessdate, t.sym, 1 - t.adjustedcloseprice / y.adjustedcloseprice as ret from dd t left outer join dd y on t.businessdate = y.businessdate + (interval '1' day) and t.sym = y.sym), v as (select sym, stddev_samp(ret) as volatility from r group by sym) select * from v where v.sym like '%.L' limit 100; It results in a segmentation fault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

user defnined function problem
by Niall Rooney 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hello, I am making the following adjustment to the user defined function template files . I am using MonetDB-11.15.15 built from source on Ubuntu 12.04. I have added to the following files in the ./sql/backends/monet5/UDF directory as shown: 80_udf.sql create function sumProb(prob1 double, prob2 double) returns double external name udf.sumProb; udf.mal module udf; command sumProb(prob1:dbl,prob2:dbl):dbl address UDFSumProb comment "sum two probabilities"; udf.c str UDFSumProb(dbl * res, dbl * prob1, dbl * prob2) { *res = *prob1 + *prob2; return MAL_SUCCEED; } udf.h udf_export str UDFSumProb(dbl * res, dbl * prob1, dbl * prob2); I did a configure/make/make install and tried the following call in mclient: declare a, b,c double; set a= 0.1; set b= 0.2; select c=jsdistance(a,b); and get the error: TypeException:user.s2_1[8]:'udf.sumprob' undefined in: _12:any := udf.sumprob(_8:dbl, _11:dbl) program contains errors

Hello, I use MonetDB in Ubuntu. When I create a table with FLOAT type, MonetDB created it as DOUBLE type. Why does MonetDB decide to change FLOAT to DOUBLE? How can I fix this?

Segmentation faultin sql_optimizer

Hi, I have a segmentation fault when running an SQL query against a specific table. I can execute queries like "select count(*) from <TABLE>" but the server crashes when I do "select * from <TABLE> where businessdate = '2013-12-18' limit 100". MonetDB version: MonetDB Database Server Toolkit v1.1 (Feb2013-SP5) Stack trace: #0 0x00007f7cf2987eb1 in GDKfilepath (path=0x7f6e44f0db5d "", dir=0x7f7ceb4c51d4 "bat", name=0x0, ext=0x0) at gdk_storage.c:51 #1 0x00007f7ceb3fbbd3 in BATlocation (fnme=0x7f6e44f0fbe0, bid=<value optimized out>) at sql_optimizer.c:77 #2 0x00007f7ceb3fc59a in SQLgetStatistics (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at sql_optimizer.c:160 #3 addQueryToCache (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at sql_optimizer.c:295 #4 0x00007f7ceb3fb7ed in backend_dumpproc (be=0x7f6e3809d5f0, c=0x7f7cebed6308, cq=0x7f6e383d4090, s=0x7f6e3837bd20) at sql_gencode.c:2431 #5 0x00007f7ceb3e2067 in SQLparser (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at sql_scenario.c:1755 #6 0x00007f7cf2f35b63 in runPhase (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at mal_scenario.c:522 #7 runScenarioBody (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at mal_scenario.c:558 #8 0x00007f7cf2f35caf in runScenario (c=0x7f7cebed6308) at mal_scenario.c:586 #9 0x00007f7cf2f36508 in MSserveClient (dummy=0x7f7cebed6308) at mal_session.c:446 #10 0x0000003ee9a07851 in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #11 0x0000003ee92e890d in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6 The problem is that it tries to de-reference null pointer 'name'. The pointer is calculated in BATLocation as (b->T->heap.filename ? b->T->heap.filename: b->H->heap.filename). The column in question has type real so as far as I understand there is no heap file for it. I don't know if heap.filename should contain NULL or something else.

Skyline Queries and MonetDB
by Stephen P. Morgan 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, Has anyone out there done any work on extending MonetDB to support skyline queries natively? I may be interested in work along these lines but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. If anyone has preceded me, I'd love to hear about your work. Thanks, Steve Morgan

Query Time
by Sebastian Kielmann 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

HI, We are using monetdb for some statistical analysis. The queries are very fast (0.2 sec), but some times (not regularly) the queries get peeks of up to 32 sec for the same query. CPU and RAM don't change and are way higher than actually needed. Does any one have this same situation? Any idea what could be doing this? Best regards and thanks to any help. sebastian
