maverick-devel Mailing List for MaVerickDBMS

We have MaVerick running on a few in house boxes but
not at customers sites.

I have a question regarding live installs. I'm just curious how many 
businesses more or less or using MaVerick to run their Multivalue 
software, or is it more of a hobbyist's operating environment?

Robert,

I was trying to remember issues that were left unresolved at my last 
examination.

There was still significant work to be done on English/Access/Recall. As 
far as I remember, most of the keywords (LIST, SORT, WITH, etc.) were 
contained in the compiler itself. This approach would require a separate 
version of the compiler for each language version.

In most (all?) versions of Pick all the keywords are abstracted or 
tokenized by entries in the VOC/MD file so it becomes easy to copy, say 
LIST to LISTEZ or even to L (for lazy typers) and still have the same 
functionality. Some versions even go so far as to do double lookups for 
a dashed and dotted version of the verbs (eg. GET.LIST/GET-LIST) where 
if retrieval of the dashed form fails the dotted form will be used.

The verb definitions in particular have expanded meaning and contain 
additional fields that control things like dispatch mode (some verbs 
will return list of selected keys that can be passed to the next verb 
executed, some do not, some verbs will accept previously active selected 
lists, others will not), and other control functions.

There were a number of relatively key functions that were also not 
supported that might be vital to a smooth port from an existing Pick 
version, things like exploding sorts where each value of a multi-valued 
field creates a separate sort/list value and less used operations like 
the "WITHIN" connective.

All of this probably has to be considered in your estimate or disclaimed 
as "not supported" (yet).

That sounds like a really cool job.  I did notice the maverick meerkat
release was version 10.10 and came out on 10/10/10....must of been fun
working to make that time deadline, very immovable, otherwise would
have had to wait until november next year before the symmetry
reoccurred....hope they gave you a big release party for getting to
the finish line :)

Help with packaging would be great, got to make it easy for people to use.

Well the bugs are listed here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2228&atid=102228

...in above link filter by setting status to "Open" should give you 10
outstanding bugs.

Yes definitely will get your documentation up to the public website
prior to any code release

I had one somewhere....will go dig it up.  Meanwhile there is the
sourceforge feature requests here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2228&atid=352228
(again as for bugs, need to filter with status set to "Open" to only
get the current ones.

Hah wow, MaVerick DBMS .. what a blast from the past. Its funny because Ubuntu's 10.10 release just came out on Sunday, code naemd "Maverick Meerkat", and I just happen to be employed by Canonical to work on Ubuntu Server Edition full time. ;)

That said, I haven't touched a "Pick" or "MVDBMS" system in probably 10 years, so I don't know how much help I'd be with the code itself. However, I can definitely help with getting it added to Ubuntu and (preferrably) our mother distribution, Debian.

Hi Robert! Long time no talk! Hope all is well.

I'm really glad that there is a "revival", even if it doesn't last. MaVerick is quite far along, you've done a really great job with it.

If its my place to say: In my most humble opinion, I think we should fix bugs, though I really couldn't say ( At the moment ) what those bugs are, been away too long.
Maybe at least some of the easier ones?

Then release.

I have the documentation, some folks have copies. Is the doc ok? Suggestions? Its really your documentation, with a few added tidbits, is all...

Where is the todo list? I will look for it now.

Ha, well i guess we better get going them....

What first step?

 - Release source code as from source control as version 0.40
 - Documentation or website updates
 -  Fix remaining outstanding bugs.
 - Choose particular items in todo list to implement before releasing
 ....any other ideas?

- Robert

I still have it running on a Debin box, I have a D3 box that I use though.

Hi,

We are trying to get a hold of the maverick team members, and see if this
project is still ongoing, as we would like to get it off the ground and are
willing to put some funding and resources behind it 

If anyone from the team can contact me it would be much appreciated

Thanks

Mac

Hi Robert,

I'm not sure if maverick is still an ongoing project, but we at Unibase have
it back on our priority list, and we would like to put some funding (and

Please contact me as we would like to know if the team would be interested

Oh wow, yes for sure as well as myself there are a couple of other

Yes i think so.

Maybe can start out by working on a rough project plan for what you
would like to achieve.

Hi,

I saw a post in the 'bug tracker', regarding setting up a telnet connection through AccuTerm. I still have my copy of the "unofficial Maverick documentation" from October 2007. It may not address the specific issue, but may help. Let me know if interested.

Depends on the driver you use to store the data, the linear hash
driver should be compatible with Arev  and is thus limited to 32bit.
Mysql and Postgres are whatever the limits are on that database.  Max
number of programs would be very large, concurrent users not
sure(needs some testing i guess), stability not sure how to measure.

Can do need to setup client-server driver to centralize the locking.
Was fiddling round with the bdb driver recently that supports native
file locking.  Also java has file locking in latest releases could
possibly add to the LH driver if people think its a good idea.

If using the linear hash(LH) driver the tables are by default dynamic,
same as Arev,

What kind of environment ie how many users, what kind of application?

Maverick is licensed under LGPL.  Roughly if you redistribute the
programs/libraries that make up the maverick distribution you must
also make available the source code to the maverick distribution to
those people.  As is LGPL basic programs you have compiled will be
independently licensable.  Data stored in system is obviously beyond
scope as well.

Just simple operating system files.  Can also be stored in MV files(ie
like universe type 19) depending on configuration.

For basic is fairly generic most common stuff is supported.  For
ECL/TCL really need a manual.  Probably should get a wiki going or
something for this..

Hi!

 

I am a longstanding MV developer, I started on Prime Information, more recently using UniVerse and OpenInsight. I have some questions regarding Maverick, if anyone can answer these that would be most appreciated!

 

1. How 'robust' is MaVerick? More specifically, does anyone have figures on maximum table size, maximum number of records in a table, maximum number of tables, maximum number of programs, maximum number of concurrent users, stability, that kind of thing?

 

2. Does it handle multiple concurrent users? Basically does record locking work, i.e. READU, RELEASE etc. and what about one person WRITEing while another SELECTs off the same table?

 

3. Are tables dynamic, or do they need to be resized - if they need to be resized, how easy is that to do?

 

4. Another way to say the above is, is MaVerick robust enough to use in a multi user production environment?

 

5. I have never been clear on what the open source licenses mean in a practical sense... can I use MaVerick in a commerical environment/for commercial purposes? If I do use MaVerick, do I have to expose the source code for whatever I run on MaVerick?

 

6. The install instructions said to create a test program, compile it, and run it, to see if MaVerick is installed okay or not. But how do you create a program? Do program reside in program libraries/directories like on UniVerse?

 

7. Is there any help/reference on the commands available - in any kind of centralised, easy to find place?

 

Thank you,

 

Glenn Groves

I think you might be using an older version.  Could you download one
of the latest snapshots here:
http://www.maverick-dbms.org/snapshot/index.html

See if the same problem still occurs, if so i will file it as a bug.

For linux should be something like:
unzip maverick-X.XX.zip
or if using the tar-gzip archive:
tar xvfz maverick-X.XX.tar.gz

The jar files in the lib directory should not norrnally be unzipped
that is done at run time automatically by the java interpreter if
needed.

Maybe i should change the RUN script to abort if it cannot find a
maverick.properties file in the right place.

Maybe try this:
http://www.maverick-dbms.org/doc/install-ud.html

Will need one of the snapshot versions linked above.  To create a a
new hashed file "CREATE.FILE MYFILE" at the prompt.

That would be great!

There RUN script in the bin subdirectory appears to have the wrong
permissions.  Can you show the output of "ls -l ./bin/RUN" to check
the executable bit is properly set.

On older versions of maverick had trouble setting the appropriate file
privileges when building the distribution, what version are you using?
 Should be ok on any of the recent snapshots though.

> now $0 is bash and I can not find an org.mav...

$0 should be the name of the currently running script, is it set to
something else on your computer?  Maybe edit the BASIC script and put
an 'echo $0'  statement in there to see what it is set to.  The
org.maverickdbms.tools.BASIC is the actual compiler program.  You can
find it in the lib subdirectory in the maverick-tools.jar file which
is a zip archive similar to the way shared libraires(.so or dll) files
work in C.  Use the jar tool(same syntax as the tar utility) to look
inside these files.

- Robert

I may not be smart enough for this.  My IQ is only 140, I have done Pick 
for only 20 or so years, and have written some programs in assembler so 
please have patience with someone who may be undeserving.

under install you have.

       ie   cd etc
            copy sample.maverick.properties maverick.properties
            edit maverick.properties

OK, now what?  

I am using ubuntu 8.01

the test program did not run

after making BASIC an executable, I got
./BASIC: line 2: ./RUN: Permission denied

you have in BASIC
BASEDIR=`dirname $0`
$BASEDIR/RUN org.maverickdbms.tools.BASIC $*


now $0 is bash and I can not find an org.mav...

so I am totally puzzled. 

Perhaps I am unworthy
