I have very similar setup. Debian unstable with the latest
packages of mysql5. Anders, I am curious how you installed 
refdb on your system as I could not install it from the available
packages, I had to recompile libdbd-mysql driver.

This is what I thought. MySQL does the right thing when using
= and ~ on the text fields. As far as I understood, author name and
title are text fields. Am I wrong? If yes, the comparison should work
correctly. However, comparisons on the author field work in
case-insensitive way, while comparisons on the title field are case
sensitive. So this suggests that author field is text, while title
field is somethign else. Is there logic behind this? According to 
documentation both fields are alphanumeric.

Thanks for your help

Lazar

I don't see it on Debian testing/unstable, RefDB 0.9.6, MySQL 5.0.18, 
libdbi 0.8.1.

Not here on FreeBSD 5.4. Does anyone else see this behaviour? If so,
please indicate your platform, maybe there's a pattern that helps to
find the bug.

RefDB relies entirely on the database engine for queries. If the
engine does regexp comparisons in a case-sensitive fashion, then RefDB
does the same. If you badly need one particular behaviour, you
may get closer by switching to a different engine. Some more
background can be found here:

Hello everybody,

When I retrieve citations, the citation with the highest ID number
always has "ER -" twice in the body of the reference.

Did anybody notice a similar behavior? I am using refdb V. 0.9.6-pre3

[Refdb-users] Case sensitivity

[Z F <mai...@ya...>]

Hello everybody,


Finally, I have started playing with the refdb and it is very very
nice. I wish I had it when I was writing my thesis.

Anyway, it seems to me that when a comparison of text field is made
with ~ (or probably with ^ and $) the comparison should not be case
sensitive. That is if I search with

:TI:~basing

I should get enteries containing "basing" and "BaSinG" on the output.
I think it would greately improve the search.

THis is done for some of fields (AU for example) but for the title it
is not. I would think, searches of alphanumeric fields should be case
insensitive. One may argue that even = and != operations should not
be case sensitive.

What is the view on this topic? What is the common approach?

Thanks,

Lazar

Not quite. The server checks for the string "ALL", so the argument is case
sensitive. "all" seems to work better in your experiments due to a bug that I
just discovered. For some reasons, retrieving extended notes along with a
reference ceased to work. For the time being you should avoid using "ALL" and
list the additional fields explicitly.

To reproduce the problem, try

getref :ID:=1 -s ALL

This will fail, just like

getref :ID:=1 -s NX

whereas

getref :ID:=1 -s URL1L2L3L4N1N2AVRP

works ok.

I'll have to find out what's going wrong with the extended notes.

Markus

Ah, I see. The driver name is basically "lib" . "dbd" . "$dbserver" in Perl
speak. The "dbd" is used to distinguish the driver from the database engine
client library which may happen to use a similar name. Having two libraries
with the same name results in packaging problems even if the libraries are to
be installed in different directories. E.g. the SQLite client library is called
libsqlite, therefore we call the driver libdbdsqlite. SQLite version 3 uses a
different client library libsqlite3, hence our driver is libdbdsqlite3.
Currently there is no policy in place how to name two different drivers for the
same database engine client library as we didn't run into this problem yet.

Markus

Hello Markus and everybody

If one wants to get all fields then, it appears that refdbc -F switch 
requires "all" option instead of "ALL" which is stated in the
documentation. It might be that refdbc should not be case sensitive,
but it is. Am I correct?

I understand your logic. I have sent you what I did. I will try
to understand more and if I do, I will send you an update on how it
can be done.

Ok, the reason I asked was if there is another library which is named
the same. I thought there is some consensus on how libraries should be
named.

repository which I can upload to refdb.sourceforge.net. So far I simply

This is a longer story, but basically the reason is that David, who kindly
provided the .debs so far, did not use the /debian subdir in the sources but
rolled his own modifications.

The filename is not important. Each driver has a builtin name which is not
necessarily related to the library name. libdbi simply loads all available
drivers regardless of their filenames. Your app accesses the drivers by the
internal name only. The library name is set in the Makefile.am in the source
directory of each driver.

I guess so. The dependencies of the package would need to be modified so that
the new version depends on libmysqlclient15. The difference might best be
explained on the libdbi-drivers web page.

I'm at a loss here. I've tested your stylesheet and your test document
yesterday, and neither pre2 nor pre3 made any complaints. Valgrind does not
detect any illegal memory operations (except some leaks, but they don't affect
stability). Bugs are hard to find if you can't reproduce them.

I'm afraid I have to ask you for an updated test kit. Could you please send me
all data necessary to crash the app (all references in RIS or risx format, your
current style, and your SGML document)? I'll have a chance to test this on both
Debian and FreeBSD on the weekend.

Markus

Yes.  It is a problem that was introduced with pre2.

Re: [Refdb-users] Adduser problem

[Z F <mai...@ya...>]

Dear Markus,


Since only libdbi mysql driver needs to be rebuild (libdbd-mysql
package) here is what I have done.

1. get libdbd-mysql_0.8.1-1.diff.gz
       libdbd-mysql_0.8.1-1.dsc
       libdbd-mysql_0.8.1-1.orig.tar.gz
from
http://refdb.sourceforge.net/debian/cvs/pool/l/libdbd-mysql/

The hope was to simply rebuild it with libmysqlclient15 (instead of
libmysqlclient12) library.

Unfortunately, the above package contains only compiled libraries and
the all the files needed to build the package but not the source. The
binary file with the library is named libdmysql.so

So,

2. get libdbi-drivers-0.8.1 sources from 
http://libdbi-drivers.sourceforge.net/

compile the drivers. This created the binary library named
libdbdmysql.so

3. Copy the new driver library (from step 2) to the library file of
step 1 and build the package (fakeroot debian/rules binary)

This produced a new libdbd-mysql_0.8.1-1_i386.deb package
which can be installed and works.

I can send it to you, but here are some questions:

1. It appears that libdbd-mysql_0.8.1-1_i386.deb from refdb web site
  is not built from the corresponing .orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz also
  available there (this is obvious because of difference in names of 
  the libraries installed by the binary package and by what is in the
  source one). This is a rhetorical question.

2. Is the name of the library important? I can not seem to understand
how to change it :( I will have to dig more if needed and since
I have never built a package before, it might take a long time.

3. How the name of the package needs to be changed? simply 0.8.1-2?
4. How is all of this reflected on people who use libmysqlclient12?


As to my original problem, I now can connect to the database
and create users. I also put some references (as a regular user)
into the citation database and can get them back.
Now, the learning of the refdb user interface
starts and the installation of the web interface.


Thanks for your help. With best wishes,

Lazar

To the best of my knowledge there should be no need to update any
databases. I didn't change anything here since pre1. Do the problems
disappear if you move back to pre1?

In any case, valgrind complained about an unitialized value in the
bibliography generation code. I have no idea whether this is related
to your current problem. I've fixed this and a couple of other minor
things. I've uploaded a (yet inofficial) prerelease right here:

Could you please give this one a try?

Hi,

I found RefDB few days ago and I wanted to install it. I even red the

Unfortunately I finished with viewstat:

refdba:

I created database as described in administrator manual.
My OS: Debian Sarge.
I used debian packages from refdb debian repository - standard installati=
on.
As database I am using SQLite.
Databaze was created as described in the manual:
clue12:/usr/share/refdb/db# sqlite refdb <
/usr/share/refdb/sql/refdb.dump.sqlite
clue12:/usr/share/refdb/db# ls
refdb

For me it looks like incompatibility between binaries version and
database format. But may be I am complitely wrong.

Could someone help me please?

thanks

Jozef

I advised you so to be on the safe side, as the RefDB packages would require the
libdbi and libdbi-drivers packages, so rebuilding only the driver might result
in the drivers being overwritten at a later stage. If you build libdbi-drivers,
and install this driver manually, then you should end up with a working setup,
but I'm not sure what happens if you next run apt-get. But if you know what
you're doing, all you really need is the rebuilt mysql driver.

regards,
Markus

Before I go this route, let me try the second one.

I understand why libdbi and libdbi-drives need to be recompiled.
But why do I need to recompile refdb? I thought, the interface is
standard, and only internal things related to the driver need to be
changed. Am I correct? Or interface was changed too?

Thanks
