Community site launched…

The next phase of the ingres.com website redesign has been launched. http://community.ingres.com/ is the community side of the ingres.com website that replaces opensource.ingres.com. A brief look at the forums appears to show that the posts from the old site have been migrated across. Also it is worth noting that Ingres is using its own software [...]

Installing Ingres 2006 r2 on Ubuntu 6.10

I have recently been looking at a problem with Ingres and PHP on Ubuntu. In order to look at the bug I had to get Ingres installed. Normally a simple proposition with RPMs or the older install/ingbuild installation and set-up process. However with Ubuntu 6.10 it was not to be.
The following is based on the [...]

Perl Ingres Utilities

Ingres has had Perl support for sometime through ingperl (Perl 4 derivative) and more recently with DBD::Ingres. However it was a nice surprise to see someone from Brazil writing some Perl utilities drive the command line utilities iinamu and iimonitor.

Example : Ingres LOBs and PHP

Since the lob code for Ingres PECL uses an undocumented feature, namely, parameter typing - I have included below a code snippet to get people started:
SQL Schema:

create table blobs (
blob_name varchar(255) not null,
blob_data long byte not null [...]

LOB support (finally)

I have finally submitted code for handling LOBs within the PECL Ingres extension. Only a minor memory leak to sort out and then I will release version 1.3.1.
See CHANGELOG to see what else has happened.
