Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:29:16 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Improvements to code.ingres.com and bugs.ingres.com http://blogs.planetingres.org/grant/103-improvements-to-code-ingres-com http://blogs.planetingres.org/grant/103-improvements-to-code-ingres-com#comments Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:33:54 +0000 Grant Croker http://blogs.planetingres.org/grant/?p=103 There have been a number of recent improvements to Ingres’s Subversion repository and community issue tracking located at http://code.ingres.com and http://bugs.ingres.com respectively. The following changes were made:

  • Common authentication back-end
  • SSL for login
  • Improved synchronization from Piccolo

Common authentication back-end

From the time the code for the Ingres DBMS server was published in Subversion, the authentication and authorization mechanism was distinct from that of the rest of the Ingres Community. This meant that those with commit access would need to maintain separate accounts. Alex Trofast and Andrew Ross have converted the authentication system for both http://code.ingres.com and http://bugs.ingres.com to use the same system for the wiki and forums.

SSL for login

Previously only the Community Forum and Wiki had SSL (https) logins, now the bugs and code site do as well. For the time being you can access them both in plain-text mode but at some point secure logins will be required. The updated URLs are – https://code.ingres.com and https://bugs.ingres.com. Note that for the time being the sites are signed using a self-signed certificate. This will change in due course but for the time being you may be required to acknowledge that the certificate has not been validated against any of the root Certificate Authorities.

Improved synchronization from Piccolo

Probably the most important out of the 3 changes is the improved sync up between Ingres’s internal source code system, Piccolo and the external Subversion server. Changes are now replicated out every 15 minutes from Piccolo, assuming there is something to propagate. The process for merging changes from Subversion into Piccolo is still being worked on. So now we have up to date Ingres code in the wild, so to speak.

So major that I have had to break backwards compatibility to implement the ability to have multiple active result-sets. Since I promised Andy Grimm I would write a piece on the new driver for the company blog site http://blogs.ingres.com/tech I will not be providing much info here, at least not just yet. However, to whet your appetite, here are the changes made since the last release:

    • Added support for multiple concurrent result-sets
    • Added automatic coercion between UTF-8 and UTF-16
    • Added support for Bi-directional scrolling cursors
    • Added ingres_free_results() – free the memory associated with a given result set
    • Added ingres_autocommit_state() – return the current auto-commit state
    • Added ingres_next_error() – fetch additional errors if any

    If you are feeling brave you can grab the code from cvs.php.net:

    cvs co -d somedir pecl/ingres

    If you want to run it along side an existing pecl ingres install I would recommend you use the following (ahem, undocumented) configure flag:

    ./configure --enable-ingres2

    Documentation will follow, first with an overhaul of the README(.html) as well as the information on http://php.net/ingres.

The content of my session was a high level overview with some simple examples thrown in for the non Embedded languages. Going into sufficient detail for all the languages we support in 35 minutes was not possible. There was a lot more I would liked to have spoken about. Anyway, you can download the presentation in either Flash or PDF format. Should you want the source file email me via grantc at php dot net.
