[Refdb-users] Bug report with bibtex backend
|

Hi,
I and a few persons in our lab are interested in using a bibliography
manager in conjunction with latex so refdb seems to fit our needs. I
know that your principal goal is to implement the sgml/xml part of the
system and that the bibtex support is only a sort of "collateral
effect". Anyway since version 0.9 I haven't been able to make it work
properly with bibtex formating backend.
With version 0.8.6 it worked just fine for this part, but the web
frontend didn't work at all. Now it's the inverse i can retrieve
reference in any way : through the refdbc client or through the web
frontend. But refdbib (in fact the bibtex backend) seems to have
problems with bibtex output . I get this king of error message :
/flamm@FarStar:~/temp/test$ refdbib -d xxxxxxxx -u xxxxxxxx -w xxxxxxxx
-S bibtex-full -t bibtex -V -l 7 testlatex.aux
out of memory
0 reference(s) retrieved, 1 failed
out of memory
0 reference(s) retrieved, 1 failed
/and the corresponding logs in refdbd.log :

Even to obtain theses messages I have to correct a little mistake in the
file *backend-bibtex.c *at line 153 where refdb.CITSTYLE remains instead
of refdb1.CITSTYLE.
I did some debugging, and found out that this error message (/out of
memory/) happens at line 973 in *backend-bibtex.c* so the procedure
/render_bibtex(&rendinfo)/ doesn't produce a correct output (it is
void). Indeed, as I traced the corresponding mySQL queries in the log
file I found this 2 ones :

Sorry it isn't easy to read. But first as you can see, the condition
CITSTYLEID=0 can't be satisfied since in refdb1.REFSTYLE, CITSTYLEID
begins with a value equal to 1, there is no 0. On the other hand, if I
force this value to be 1 (which exists in the database) I get the same
error.
So there is a serious problem with the bibtex backend. As I don't have
time to understand the complete implementation of this backend and of
refdb in general, I can't track this bug further.
I hope that this report will be helpfull to give you any clues to
correct these imperfections.
sincerely,
Florent.
