Subject: WView???

We have been trying to get Ingres running under X for quite awhile now..
We were given multipe termcap files to try to make it work but had no
luck.  Then, quite by accident, I stumbled across WView which lets us
run Ingres in it's own specially defined Xterm and has mouse control!
Why does nobody know about this?  I have spoken to MANY at ingres trying
to get mouse control/function keys under X... most offered bad termcap
files or said I had to buy Windows 4GL to use the mouse.  Kind of
ridiculous!  Well, I am much happier now with mouse *control* but I
noticed it is a bit buggy.. when running vision the menu bar often gets
screwed up and sometimes dissappears.  We are running X11R5 and when we
start WView, its for X11R3.. They are supposedly backward compatable,
but is there an update to WView that solves the bugs i am seeing??
Any help is MUCH appreciated..

FYI: from the Ingres Release notes 6.4/02 (vax.vms/00) (Dated July 24,
1992):

In a future release, VAX/VMS version 5.3 will no longer be supported. 
The approximate timeframe will be February, 1993.

I take this to mean that *Ingres 6.X* will not be supported on VMS 5.3. 
Ingres 5.x seems to be treated as a separate and different beast.

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I thought VMS Ingres
DBAs should know or be reminded.

This is easy... build the query into a varchar field of suitable length
e.g. h_query = 'create view temp_' + varchar(name.surname) + ' as...' ;

Then if you have 6.4 you can do
    execute immediate :h_query ;
as part of your 4GL code.
If you dont, then you will have to write an embedded SQL procedure to
to the execute immediate call for you.

NB: This only works for certain sql statements.  It doesnt work
for selects as there is no way of handling returned data.

We've done this several times.  We use different methods depending on
the need.  I think that the only Ingres-approved way is to use
"unloaddb" to unload the database into data files, and then reload it
into another one.  This is fairly robust, but slow.  Both "unloaddb" and
"copydb" have a few bugs: (1) you can't have usernames that start with
numbers (we do, of course); and (2) a table with more than one integrity
on it gets all but the last integrity created twice.  Versions prior to
release 6.4/01 had additional ones.

However, with care you can use an offline checkpoint or VMS backup to
copy a database by directly copying the contents of the files in the
INGRES data directories (which are normally entirely under control of
the INGRES dbms server).  The biggest complication here has to do with
the configuration file, which is "aaaaaaaa.cnf" and lives in the primary
data location for the database.  It has a bunch of stuff hardwired in
it, like the name of the database, the dba, and the locations for the
database.  If any of those things are changed for the "replicated"
database, then you'll have to tweak the configuration file (which
requires reverse engineering).  You may also have to update several
system catalogs.  You also have to be careful to do this only when
INGRES is down, so that the files are stable and out of the server's
control.

Let me know if you need more detail.

your iiattribute file may be corrupted, or you may have a bad sector on the
partition where iiattribute resides.  Do a select all on that relation to
determine if ingres can scan through it.  If all is good check the ownership
on that table by doing a select on iirelation where relid = 'iiattribute'.

I think you had a previous sysmod terminate abnormally.  If so, you may
have a table called iirtemp left around.  When some system catalogs are
modified, the work is done in a temporary table, iirtemp, deleted at the end
of the modify.  If iirtemp already exists, modify is confused.

Subject: Blobs in Ingres 6.5
Organization: National Radio Astronomy Observatory
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 17:39:00 GMT

An article in Digital News & Review (Digital Review bought Digital
News) August 24, 1992 informs us that Ingres will support BLOBs in the
database server kernel of Ingres 6.5.  "According to Diana Parr,
Ingres' database server product manager, the company promises
extensions to SQL that will allow users to select, update, delete or
insert new objects, as well as provide the ability to perform
searches and match strings within large objects." 

Ingres 6.5 is scheduled for beta test next year.

I agree that the single most important new feature that Ingres could
add is the BLOB datatype.

My main question to anyone reading this message, whether from Ingres or
not, is:  Will BLOBs really be part of Base Ingres or will it be
necessary to purchase an add-on package similar to the Knowledge
Management package?

Because of the need for multiple large text fields in one table we
have often run into the 2000 byte limit for records in Ingres tables. 
Will the implementation of the BLOB datatype eliminate the 2000 byte
limitation?

I have a number of large "production" tables that are being hit on

and ping-ponging back and forth between them by simply having all my

be in a table somewhere.  This seems like it is probably a pretty

Copying out a table with the -c flag (portable format) to transport
a table from one database, 6.3/02 (vax.vms/02), to another database,
6.4/01 (vax.vms/00) caused a problem with large numbers with the
f8 format. To check if the transport of the tabel was successfull 
I calculated the total in both tables of a f8 field and discovered
a difference, (first total: 4878560806.000, second total: 4878530388.000)
The solution was to copy out the table without the -c flag, Ingres will
then use a binary format and there were no problems to transport the table.

Question: 
When I really want a portable format (e.g. to transport a table to
another database on another platform) what has to be done to make this work
right?

in its current page.  A query that might cause this is

  update T

I was wondering how isql buffers the data, while browsing. A simple program that

isql takes to come back and display the first 10 or so rows. The question is,
does isql read all the data into memory, and then manage the list, or is it
much cleverer than that? Also, if it doesn't read everything into memory, 
how does it manage to do a previous page operation so fast?

We replicate our production database onto our developement machine
every night.  The secret is to make sure that your developement Ingres
installation is an exact duplicate of your production Ingres
installation.  For example, all database areas are mounted identically
and defined in Ingres identically.  Also, the name of the replicate
must be the same as the replicated database.

Each night, we copy our offline checkpoint tape of the production database
into the replicate in the following sequence:

1. Make sure the checkpoint has finished
2. Rewind the remote tape drive
3. Bring down Ingres on the developement machine
4. For each database area:
 a) delete all database files from the area<n>/data/default/database_name 
    directory on the developement machine
 b) copy the checkpoint file from the tape into the 
    area<n>/data/default/database_name directory.  In unix we use:
    rsh <hostname> dd if=/dev/<non-rewinding tape device> bs=20b | tar xBpf -
 c) Repeat a and b for each area in the database
5. Start up Ingres.

Using this technique, we are able to always have an up-to-date copy of
our production database on our developement machine.

I had a similar problem about a year ago, trying to compile an ABF
application.  I went through several things with Ingres support, which
didn't work.  It turned out that we had an old version of some C library
routines on our operating system.  Once we 're'-installed the C library
routines, everything was fine.  You may want to check that out.
