Hello, We are unable to solve the following problem.

Hi Stefan, Due to all the data in RAM having to be written to disk when it's full, if the RAM grows larger and i don't change hard disk, the data volume become larger, will it make the COPY BINARY INTO much slower compared to the small RAM? Contrarily, if the RAM get smaller, will it make the COPY BINARY INTO quicker? I just want to lower the peak value of COPY, the 10+ seconds every about a hundred times. For the most time COPY BINARY INTO took only less than 1 second, is it because they are written to RAM not disk when the RAM is not full? if so, can i write to disk more frequently before the disk is full so i could lower down the peak value of COPY.

Hi, I'm not sure whether I understand correct what you are doing. If you repeat the test 1000 times, does that mean that (1) 10000 times you re-create (or empty) the table and thus always copy into an empty table, or (2) 10000 times you copy into the same (growing) table, i.e., resulting in a table of 10,000 times 200,000 rows, i.e., 2,000,000,000 rows, i.e., ~16 GB per column, i.e., ~336 GB in total? (Only) in case (1) the binary files to be imported are simply moved at zero costs. In case (2), only the first copy into (into the empty table) can simply move the files at zero costs; all subsequent copy into (into a no longe empty table) must copy the files (and delete them afterwards to mimic the same behavior as the initial copy into), which is of cause not "for free". Also, as Martin explained, unless your machine has (significantly) more RAM than the ~336 GB of data you copy, the data needs to be written to disk in between, making some copy into's "slower" than others. There's not much to do about that other than (a) getting more RAM, or (b) improving I/O bandwidth by using either a high performance RAID or SSDs. Stefan .

Deleting millions of rows every night
by Dennis Pallett 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hello all, We are going to be using MonetDB as a data mart between our data warehouse and our front-end applications and are planning to insert and delete several millions of rows from MonetDB every night as part of our data update cycle. We've noticed that MonetDB doesn't support the TRUNCATE statement so we're deleting all the data with DELETE FROM table. But is this the best way to delete millions of rows every night? Won't performance or free disk space degrade over time? Best regards, Dennis Pallett

MonetDB and SQLWorkbench
by Satoshi Nagayasu 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hi, I have hacked SQLWorkbench to work with MonetDB. SQLWorkbench is a detabase-independent GUI query tool, written in Java. http://www.sql-workbench.net/ To support MonetDB in SQLWorkbench, a new entry needs to be added in DatabaseTemplates.xml, which is contained in sqlworkbench.jar. This modifed files are available: http://www.uptime.jp/downloads/monetdb/SQLWorkbench/ It seems working well so far, and this patch is supposed to be contributed to the SQLWorkbench upstream. If you are looking for a nice GUI tool to issue queries to MonetDB, take a look. Regards, -- Satoshi Nagayasu <snaga(a)uptime.jp> Uptime Technologies, LLC. http://www.uptime.jp

Hi Ying, As you mentioned the 2nd case, I just interchanged create 21 files and excute COPY INTO. The plot times include only the execution time of COPY INTO. In 15 seconds, the data volumn i have to process is just similar to storing 200000 rows,21 columns in this simulation program. Thanks!

Hai Meng, Since you repeat the COPY INTO statement 10000 times, I wonder how exactly did you it and measure the time. For instance, did you first create _all_ necessary files (i.e., 10000 x 21 files) and execute 10000 COPY INTO consecutively? Or did you interchange create 21 files and execute COPY INTO? In the second case, are the times in your plots only the execution time of COPY INTO, or do they also include the time to create the files? Again, in the second case, have you also measured the time of creating the files? You have ever mentioned that the total available execution time in your application is 15 seconds. How many data do you need to process within this time?

Monetdb copy binary time varys very much!
by integrity 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hi dear all, I did a test of insert 2,000,000,000 rows into MonetDB with "COPY BINARY INTO FROM binary_file", in this test 1. i generate 21 files, each file represents a table column and has 200000 rows. I created them with rand() number and use fwrite() binary write method. the table creation sql command is : create table tmatch(id bigint,a float,b float,c float, d float, e float, f float,g float,h float, i float,j float, k float,l float,m float, n float,o float, p float,q float,r float, s float,t float); the table has 21 columns,each column has 8 bytes, so each column file is c1=200000*21*8 Byte= 268800000 Byte=3.2MB 2. I use "COPY BINARY INTO FROM above_binary" to load each binary file into tmatch. The test was run 10000 times repeatedly. the average time of 10000 times is only 1.0635589558955727, but when at 9043th time, it cost 227m36.136 ,some times later the time value increase to a large number, is it because of flush data from cache into database after the cache is full? The problem is since we have to control the total process time within 15 seconds , I am wondering if you can help me reduce the maximum time to a lower point? Thanks very much! Meng
