pboroah... query of form "SELECT ... UNION SELECT ... ORDER BY col1" crashes dbms in 9.2 :)08:15
pborothe col1 only exists in the left side SELECT, not in both08:16
pboroI'll open an issue08:16
MagnusG|pboro, that sounds like a good idea08:17
pboromy developer team is really good at finding new ingres bugs ;)08:17

grantcIngres gets a mention in the guardian of all places - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/feb/24/opensource-internet10:52
grantcSlimeyPete, I have done some testing with PHP 5.2.6 and 5.2.8 and various driver levels11:02
grantcwhilst going from 1 -> 2 does use more memory I don't see the bloat you report.11:03
grantcHowever comparing 5.2.6 to 5.2.8 the former uses more memory11:03
grantcfor example with http://ingres.pastebin.com/m77fe75fd i get the following output with 5.2.6 (http://ingres.pastebin.com/m76771a6) and 5.2.8 (11:08
grantchttp://ingres.pastebin.com/m31471b8011:08
grantcwith the latest code in the 1.x branch - 5.2.6 - http://ingres.pastebin.com/m76771a6, 5.2.8 - http://ingres.pastebin.com/m64f246b411:11

Alex|:)12:03
withdefaultthat's one for the log :)12:04
Alex|hehe12:04
SlimeyPetegrantc: Hmm, okay, thanks12:39
* SlimeyPete scratches head and wonders if there's something a bit fundamentally weird with the server12:40
grantcit's certainly worth going with 5.2.812:40
grantcnote I also build in debug mode, for php and the driver which I would expect might make things worse12:41
*** troal01 has joined #ingres12:57
troal01Hey if you have a database that is "inconsistent" is there any way you cna fix it?12:58
grantcverify the data then mark it consistent12:58
Alex|verifydb12:58
grantcverifydb just flips a flag to say it's ok12:58
troal01Thanks all13:00
troal01It got inconsistent during a copy into statement.. Could that screw anything up badly? I m ean it's just reading tables, not writing13:04
grantcif the database was not closed properly,yes13:05
troal01But it's just reading isn't it? :(13:07
grantcif the process failed and the server still thinks it has a connection...13:07
grantcwhy did the copy into fail?13:07
troal01I think my external HDD doesn't like really large file copies13:09
troal01Every time the binary file hit 77GBs it stopped writing13:09
Alex|uh, not the best thing for a consistent database :)13:10
grantcam not sure how you expect ingres to cope with your hardware being picky about what it writes :)13:10
troal01Yeah it's a mess, going to get a 1TB SATA HDD Friday13:10
troal01Hopefully it will work better13:11
grantci hope it's not one of those buggy segates13:11
troal01Heh13:11
troal01I haven't decided on brand13:11
troal01But I have 1 samsung and 2 seagates in my machine right now13:11
grantcuntil the recent debarcle with freezing disks i would have gone with seagates13:12
SlimeyPeteEvery major HD manufacturer has a catastrophe once every few years; it's all a bit of a gamble13:13
troal01So... what's a good affordable brand?13:13
grantcperhaps but they botched the patch twice i believe13:13
grantc"affordable" is a relative term13:13
Alex|indeed.... while I'm still runnong one if IBM's DTLAs - the ones that were said to be a total failure13:13
SlimeyPeteWestern Digital are pretty good. I usually go with them.13:14
pboroI choose one which has the longest warranty, since they all break anyway13:14
SlimeyPetebut I have had WD drives fail before so they're certainly not invulnerable.13:14
Alex|I guess it's in the nature of a spinning disk to fail at some point :)13:15
pboroAlex|, agreed :)13:15
SlimeyPeteand in one case they managed to take a full 18 months to send me a new hard disk13:15
troal01That's a long wait13:15
SlimeyPeteit took so long that I'd forgotten all about it - all of a sudden a brand new hard disk arrived from Germany13:15
SlimeyPetetook me ages to figure out why they were sending me free hardware13:15
troal01I have a six year old 50GB Western Digital that's still running13:15
troal01Haha13:16
pboroSlimeyPete :D13:16
withdefaultI had to replace a 400GB WD, luckily it was in warranty, but only just13:16
SlimeyPeteI reckon my broken disk had gotten put in a cupboard or at the back of a shelf, and then one day they moved offices or did a spring-clean and said "oh *crap*..."13:17
*** MagnusG| has quit IRC13:54
troal01So... you guys don't think I should go for this one? http://oemexpress.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=HDDSEA-3100034S&eq=14:09
grantchttp://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/01/21/seagate_firmware_fix_breaks_barracudas/14:21
troal01Ouch, that's bad14:42
troal01Firmware upgrades that brick your hardware = very bad14:43

troal01BUG! select first 10 * from main offset 10000000000;\g gives me an error15:06
troal01Says 10000000000 isn't an integer constant15:07
troal01I take it offset is an i4?15:07
Alex|Doug will know15:08
pboroit is possible to rollforwarddb only certain tables... is there something I should consider when doing this?15:10
DarylMDon't do it unless you are desperate......15:14
DarylMbut really...15:14
DarylMreferential integrity is your biggest concern15:14
pborook, I'll do full rollforwarddb then15:14
DarylMOn production, yes.  I most situations I would consider piecemeal disaster recovery too risky.15:16
grantctroal01, log the bug on servicedesk,15:28
troal01Okay will do grantc15:28

elPiolagrantc, I didn't realize that the UK has a "minister of digital engagement".  Sounds like the Ministry of Information from the movie Brazil22:25
DarylMYou sure it isn't closer to the Ministry of Silly Walks?22:25
