Just running service IngresT1 start will use default values for the Ingres instance.

Of course, if you are trying to kick the tm habit then take a look at the Eclipse DTP project. Based on DTP, the Ingres Database Workbench dispenses with much of the Eclipse functionality and after its diet is well worth a test drive.

Kristoff deserves the credit for the version of the SQL that appears here. My version was much uglier :) And Gerhard added the sizing.

Crikey. I didn't realise you had been stalking me for that long :-)

Thanks Norman/Andy,

I believe I took a liking to Scott's themes when you were
"experimenting" with different layouts prior to moving over to habari. I
guess we have Google to thank since your blog post about being in NY
with/without tapes for OpenIngres 1.2 was what turned me on to your blog
in the first place. As the Spanish say, the world is like a handkerchief...

¡un saludo!

Weird. I came here from Ray's blog. Ray is using one of my favourite WP themes (plaintxt) and you use another (veryplaintxt) - both excellent, minimalist designs from Scott Wallick. Weird. I guess both of you have great taste in design as well as databases.

Re: Logging of #ingres on freenode

Hi Roy,

I agree that the many sources / water coolers is a problem for us.
Getting c.d.i. into the forums is my next "project". In as much that I
will be poking the people that can do the work rather than being able to
do it myself. On top of c.d.i we have Ingres related blogs which need to
be aggregated. Also there is twitter which also gets mentions of Ingres
(artist and database). To this end I am trying to collate/aggregate
these sources of "Ingres" information into http://planetingres.org. At
the moment it just does blogs - typically the ones I know about or come
across in google alert searches. The general chatter
(c.d.i/forums/twitter/irc) can be seen at
http://planetingres.org/cha.... It's still a work in progress but the
first step is to aggregate the info. The next step will be to make it
use-able/navigable. Although I could see the need/use for a "blogs"
feed in to the forums.

regards

grant

Roy — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:42:59 -0000

First off, logging #ingres and making the log available via http://irc.planetingres.org is hugely welcome, and many thanks for that.

But just to elaborate a little on the grumbling you refer to at comp.databases.ingres: the problem is not the places and channels that people choose to congregate. You are absolutely right that Ingres should be ubiquitous and if twitter would be used then there should be an Ingres presence. The problem is that different people have different ways of working and different methods of delivery suit different people. For instance, I am rarely at my desk or even in the office, so I need a mailing list or a web-forum. Other people need instant help with a small problem. Other people prefer not to have to trawl all the possible forums and want email notification. And so on. The point is that we need more cross-posting otherwise instead of a community we end up with a myriad cliques, each unaware of the others, and conversations fizzle before they ever start.

ii_log is brilliant. Now we just need to get vBulletin to talk to info-ingres and we're about done. (Actually, if I ruled the world, I would also do a hatchet job on the number of distinct forums at ingres.com--there's waaaaaaaaaaaay too many. You need one for Ingres and one for OpenROAD.)

Re: Perl’s DBD-Ingres updated

grantc — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 03:48:04 -0000

Thanks for the update - If you are feeling brave you could port the code to OpenAPI. That way you have a better chance to keep the driver in-line with Ingres.

Re: Perl’s DBD-Ingres updated

SREagle — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:51:47 -0000

It now works for some older versions too. I'm still adding functionality.
A better link is the one at Ingres HP: http://search.cpan.org/dist... . It always points to the most recent version.
My goal is it to at least support DBI specs and some things like working with stored procedures (which actually works but lacks returning values, parameters by reference and row producing procedure support).

Andrew Ross — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:43:45 -0000

Thank you!

We really apreciate the support and feedback. As is often the case, the demo went well, but we notice all sorts of things we'd like to do to make it better. If anyone's interested in helping, come say hello on the mailing list or IRC. Please see: http://community.ingres.com... for more information.

Thanks to Gareth, Alex, and Viktoriya for their important testing and work to enable the demo. And thank you to Cleo, J, Christine, Mike, and James in the booth for making stiff shirts like Samrat and I look cool. :-)

Thanks again,

Andrew & Samrat

Re: Logging Ingres JDBC connections under tomcat

An accessory to the JDBC log is a python script that parses the resulting log and inserts the data into a database for analysis,

Re: Navigating the Ingres source with … ctags

Paul Mason — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:21:18 -0000

The other thing you can do with ctags which is pretty cool, is

vi -t IIapi_initialize

and it will take you to the first file with that symbol in and take you to that line in the file. It'll also load a 'stack' of other file references which you can then navigate through. There are different ways to do so :tn and :tp will take you to the next and previous occurrences respectively, and :ts will allow you to select from a list.

:help tags opens a help file with full description of how to use tags with vim.

Great,

I am in the process of setting up a wiki and want to collect links and code where appropriate. Can you mail them to grant {at}ingres dot co dot uk. When I get the site setup - hopefully soon - I will publish them.

thanks
