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/chatter/. 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

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/DBD-Ingres/ . 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).

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/wiki/CAF%C3%89 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

Re: Riding the wave

Hi Mark,

making Ingres a truly open source project will be a mammoth task. Whilst the initial focus of the new company has been to make sure the money keeps flowing in there are moves afoot to start to build communities around Ingres. When this will become visible to the outside is another question, which I am not in a position to answer. All I can say is there is a plan and we have discussed / will be discussing with partners what the changes will be.

On the development front Ingres Corp has been hiring new staff for Engineering roles ranging from new features to performance and bug fixing. I think it would be unfair to say the CA did not develop the product. However it would be fair to say that it did not give it the all attention it deserved. Certainly in the time I was there (from 1997 onwards) adoption by other CA products went from non-existent to part of the core strategy. They could not have done this if Ingres was the same product it was when CA bought ASK. The divestiture was the best thing that could have happened to Ingres.

As to 3rd party add-ins - I hope so, more the merrier. I would love to see more thingslike the Perl utilities.

Re: Riding the wave

Mark Buckle — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:39:18 -0000

I'm a long time user of ingres, but my day to day involvement stopped at version 2.6. My biggest concern about the transition to open-source is the ability of people outside of ingres corp to take on the development of the database. If that doesn't happen, I'm not sure what the up-side of moving to open-source will be. However I'm sure that the new company will be much more focussed on development than was CA, and I hope to see some dynamic changes in the ability of ingres to inter-operate with external systems and the OS. A good sign of the vitality of the new Ingres would be an upsurge in the provision of 3rd-party tools, and I hope that Ingres Corp will resurrect the funding drive for open-source add-ins
that CA initiated.

Re: Perl Ingres Utilities

Mark Buckle — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:32:04 -0000

Nice to see work going on in the ingres/perl world.
I had some basic perl/ingres utilities, still have,
although day to day I no longer use ingres.

An auditing sytem to report on changes to daatbase structures/compare database structures, plus some shell scripts to generate table upgrade scripts given an old table definition and new table definition. The scripts
rebuilt indexes and restored triggers and views after the change.

I can dig them out if some-one is interested

Re: Ruby for Ingres via ODBC

Hugh Williams — Tue, 30 May 2006 13:25:35 -0000

Following up from Kingsley's post, we have test our own Ingres ODBC Driver against the Ruby ODBC Adapter(binding) and the SP test runs fine as our driver maps first param as a SQL_INTEGER.

Also, if you are interested in testing a Pre-Release version of our RoR Data Adapter for Ingres then please let me know and I shall arrange to have this made available to you ...

Re: Ruby for Ingres via ODBC

Kingsley Idehen — Fri, 26 May 2006 19:05:48 -0000

OpenLink Software will be releasing a RoR Data Adapter for Ingres.

We are also completing a proper RoR Adaptor for ODBC/JDBC that will work with ODBC and JDBC accessible databases.

You can pop me a mail if you are interested in a pre-release.
