troal01Hm doing a copy tab() into 'file' freezes even when directing to a proper harddrive (this is the table that's about 150gbs)11:57
troal01The binary file grows to 77GB then Ingres freezes11:58
troal01Is there any way I can copy out a bit of the table at a time?12:10
grantcyou could create a pipe to gzip and split...12:11
grantcdo you not see any errors in the errlog.log?12:12
troal01ALEX-FEDORA       ::[55316             , 29324     ,  0000000001c622c0, scscompress.c:300     ]: Tue Mar  3 03:46:58 2009 E_SC039B_VAR_LEN_INCORRECTData in column  has a length of 80 (0x00000050) exceeding its maximum of 6 - excess length retracted.12:12
troal01That's all there is in the errlog12:13
grantcand the time matches the time of the hang?12:14
troal01That I'm not sure, I was sleeping :P12:14
grantchttp://ingres.pastebin.com/m1341785f - corrupt data?12:15
troal01Okay so if I have a corrupt column how do I fix it?12:16
grantcno idea12:16
troal01Crap12:17
troal01Well I kinda need to be able to take a backup of this database :P12:17
grantcckpdb?12:17
troal01How much space will that use anyway?12:17
grantcless I guess than copydb12:18
troal01Also what's the proper way to shutdown a terminal that's frozen?12:18
grantcremove the session from the server i guess12:18
troal01How do I do that? :)12:21
grantcrtfm12:21
grantcor raise an issue with support12:21
troal01Thank you12:22
grantcsorry but I don't have time to talk you through the process and these sorts of things are what our support guys are fore12:22
grantcfor even..12:22
troal01I understand12:25
grantcperhaps its worth you attending a dba course?12:26
troal01I'd jump on that chance12:28
troal01I haven't been offered it though12:28
grantcask for it?12:28
troal01Yeah I guess I should12:29
troal01Hey has anyone here tried Arch linux?12:32
grantcnot me12:33
troal01It's quite neat if you like to get your hands dirty12:34
grantcmy hands get dirty enough ...12:34
troal01I find that it's also faster than your regular distro12:44
pborofaster? have you tried gentoo? or lfs? :D12:45
*** Gerhard has quit IRC12:55
troal01zxiiro_ swears by Gentoo :)12:57
troal01I like how Arch has rolling releases though12:57
troal01I dunno about LFS, I kinda like having a package manager that can pull binaries for me13:11

troal01Is there any way to change an existing database's dmp,journal and ckp location?14:55
troal01Or would using ingsetenv to change II_DUMP etc be bad?14:57
*** mull has joined #ingres14:57
elPiolatroal01, take a look at relocatedb, extenddb and accessdb15:00
troal01extenddb, accessdb did not help me15:01
troal01I'll look at relocatedb15:01
troal01relocatedb worked, thanks al ot elPiola15:03

troal01relocatedb doesn't autmatically create the dirs for the db :P15:12
troal01I had to manually do mkdir15:12
troal01can you take a ckp, dump and journal file and move it to another system and recreate the database?15:39

satanmalinLOL16:17
satanmalinyes i am16:17
satanmalinim becoming crazy16:17
satanmalinnow i have a prob with the iidbdbd16:17
satanmaliniidbdbd16:17
satanmaliniidbdb16:17
satanmalinLOL16:17
grantc?16:18
satanmalinit drive me crazy16:18
satanmalinwere you on the web ex when we shows easyingres ?16:18
satanmalinwith emma16:19
grantcI was on the call but did not see the webex session16:20
satanmalinoki16:20
satanmalini launch again the ingres console and tell you the problem16:20
satanmalinthe problem is when I do a createdb -i demodb it returns me E_US002B Could not open the iidbdb database16:22
grantcthere should be some messages in %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\files\errlog.log16:23
satanmalindo you want my errlog by mail ?16:26
grantcno thanks, paste the messages into http://ingres.pastebin.com16:26
satanmalinhttp://ingres.pastebin.com/m7713429316:29
satanmalini think its due to a path but i dont know how to fix it16:30
satanmalinbeacause in easy ingres now we do a "flash" install16:30
grantcdid the iidbdb database get created?16:30
DarylMDoesn't look like it16:31
grantcwhat does "flash" mean?16:31
satanmalinindeed16:31
satanmalinill install ingres on a machine16:31
satanmalini copy the file16:32
satanmalinand my install copy the file at the right place during install16:32
satanmalinthats why i think16:33
satanmalinthe iidbdb is created but the path isnt right16:33
satanmalinI see for the path C:\Program Files\Ingres\IngresWi ...16:34
satanmalinand normally the path is16:34
satanmalinC:\Program Files\EasyIngres\Ingres\IngresWi ...16:34
satanmalini dont know if im clear16:34
grantckind of16:35
satanmalinindeed my install is quiet like a self exctracting zip package16:35
grantcif you install ingres the way you do using a pre-installed ingres you must keep the same path16:36
grantcfor everything16:37
grantcin the database we have a file that remembers where its files should be16:37
satanmalinyes but is ther a way to sepecified the pass16:37
satanmalinmaking an install like mine ?16:37
grantci am not sure i understand16:38
grantcat the moment there is no way you can change the location of the database at least there is no supported way16:39
satanmalinill try to explain in a better way16:39
grantcthe file, aaaaaaaa.cnf contains the locations but you cannot edit it using notepad you need a hex editor16:39
grantcor write a program to change the file16:39
satanmalinLOL16:40
satanmalinin fact the problem is that Ingres was installed on a machine16:40
grantcso for your problem, you have to re-install on the source machine to the location you want...16:40
satanmalinand i copy all the files located in C:\progam files\ingres on a usb stick16:41
DarylMYou cannot relocate Ingres once installed.  It should not be that way, but it is ancient history and a massive undertaking to change.16:42
satanmalinthats a prob for me LOL16:43
DarylMOn Unix systems people will sometimes resort to "softlinks" or file systems mounted at a specific place.  For example, I did what you did on a USB stick on Mac OS/X but I did the install on the USB and I mount the USB at the same place on every machine:  /Volumes/IngresStick16:48
DarylMYou should be able to do the same thing on Windows.16:48
grantcwindows has junctions16:48
DarylMI've tried aliases on Windows before.  Ingres didn't play well with them16:49
DarylMBut that is very old information16:49
grantcjunctions work the same as far as I can tell16:50
grantci use them for building the PHP / Ruby drivers on Windows16:50
grantci don't use them to run Ingres though16:50
satanmalinand how to do that ?16:50
DarylMThat is a bit involved for an IM session16:51
grantcgoogle for ntfs junction16:51
DarylMhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point16:53
DarylMI had no idea that existed!.  Thanks :-)16:53
DarylMIt was "shortcuts" that don't work with Ingres.16:53
* DarylM Windows memories come flooding back. Where is my barf bag?16:54
DarylMHummm,  there are some interesting and VERY dangerous differences between junctions and unix (hard/soft) links.16:55
*** DerMeister has joined #ingres16:57
satanmalinit seems to be quiet Hard for me (i dont know very well Ingres like you)16:59
satanmalinsorry im really a noob17:00
DarylMIt is less of a question on knowing Ingres and more of a question of how to use the Operating System (Windows in this case) to create a folder tree that looks like your original.  You don't need to know much about Ingres.17:00
DarylMYou can look at the folders and files and see how they are organized.17:01
satanmalinim looking at the $crosoft explainaition about NTFS junctions  it seems to be something dark17:02
satanmalinLOL17:02
*** bonro01 has left #ingres17:02
DarylMPerhaps the above Wiki reference would be easier?17:02
DarylMI have no experience at all with Windows "junctions" and Ingres.17:04
DarylMIn fact, I didn't even know about junctions until grantc gave the reference :-)17:05
grantcmy experience is just with simplifying a build process so i can iterate over a directory17:05
* DarylM has learned one new thing for today. Am I done now?17:05
grantcsuch that ingres_releases contains junctions pointing to the ingres installations i wish to build against17:05
grantcditto with php_releases17:06
satanmalinsatanmalin is completly lost LOL17:06
grantcsatanmalin, junctions are similar to soft links in linux17:06
DarylMEasy solution.  Plug in the USB drive and just install directly onto it with a new, fresh installation.17:07
grantcwhat happens if the drive letter for the usb disk is different17:07
DarylMIf you have existing databases to move, use "unloaddb"17:07
* DarylM sighs at another Windows feature from 1960's computing technology17:08
satanmalinthe only bases i have is iidbdb and demodb17:08
DarylMThose are from the install.17:08
DarylMgrantc:  How do most people deal with mounted file systems to guarentee a fixed, predictable file system path on Windows?17:09
grantcgood question17:09
DarylMlol17:10
grantci don't know the answer to that.17:10
grantci typically only ever plug in one usb device at a time17:10
* DarylM wonders if there is anyone else out there with that answer17:10
grantcmass storage device that is17:10
satanmalinSatanmalin try to commit suicide with an RJ45 cable cause he is completely mad LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL it drives me mad LOOL it seem very simple in a first time17:12
DarylMSomeone has to try stuff for the first time17:12
satanmalinbut now its becoming harder than I thougt17:12

satanmalinbacause of the devil ?17:23
satanmalinLOL17:23
satanmalinthe bleu devil ?17:24
satanmalinblue17:24
DarylMWell, if my spelling is correct, when talking cheese it is bleu.17:24
satanmalinyep LOL17:24
satanmalinso what are your question about this project because the only sentence i have is No, I don't have the details, but I can ask the community guy who did that. I know Delphi was involved.  Little Satan, ready for an interview with Daryl ? ;0)17:25
DarylMBut as I have mentioned to others in the past, my Deutsch is very bad and my French is non-existent.17:25
satanmalinMy english is bad my french of course a quiet better LOL and my italian is getting worse and worse17:26
satanmalinthats why i have to beg you pardon if my english is sometime ununderstandable LOL17:29
DarylMNot a problem if you can forgive me for not knowing any French at all.    ;-)17:30
DarylM(except for Bleu-chees of course)  LoL17:30
satanmalinLOL no problem17:30
satanmalinLOOOOL17:30
satanmalinso what are your questions about the project ?? maybe i can answer it17:31
satanmalinLOL17:31
satanmalinill try to be clear LOL17:32
satanmalini have solved the problem to install in english or in french17:36
satanmalinso now the 0.2 is also in english or in french (depending on your choice in the install)17:37
satanmalingrant helped me for the dll so now in the pacjage we have ingres 9.2 build 143 (when it will work LOL) apache 2.2.8 php 5.2.9 scite editor 1.77 and fox it reader17:40
