In a belated follow-up/me too post to notnull’s Donnez-moi un café Ingres. I too would like to congratulate Samrat Dhillon and Andrew Ross on their recent win at LinuxWorld for Best Application Development Tool. ¡¡¡¡Way to go guys!!!!
For quite some time the Ingres Documentation has been available on line via http://docs.ingres.com. This is nothing new. What else is not new is that you could search the documentation using a search engine plug-in/provider. http://docs.ingres.com has a link allowing Firefox and Internet Explorer 7+ users to perform a direct search against the docs rather [...]
Some of the things I stumble across are quite impressive/pretty but to me have no real use. This is an example of such a beast… :
Goto http://wordle.net/create to generate your own wordle or take a look at http://wordle.net/gallery?username=grantc for some other wordles i have generated.
The Ingres JDBC driver, iijdbc.jar, has the capability to log the queries that pass through it. This is extremely useful for obtaining query timings as well as working out what goes between an application and the DBMS server. For example, below is a snippet of a trace obtained from Jira:
2008-07-08 10:04:12.319: Ingres-ResultSet[40296].next()
2008-07-08 10:04:12.319: Curs[40296].load()
2008-07-08 10:04:12.319: [...]
It looks like someone else has taken over DBD-Ingres and put out a new release. According to the CHANGES the following updates were made:
- add missing timestamp types
- add workaround for do statements with placeholders
-> works for Ingres2006 R3
You can download the updated driver from http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SR/SREAGLE/DBD-Ingres-0.5201.tar.gz.
I recently discovered ctags, a program that generates a tag/index file for C, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby. For those new to the Ingres source ctags is an invaluable tool for navigating the Ingres source tree. Editors like vi and Emacs can use the generated tag file to allow the coder to go directly to [...]
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Getting Started with Ingres and PHP session I was supposed to present next Wednesday, 9th April 2008, has been brought forward one day to April 8th. The session will provide the basics for getting up and running with PHP and Ingres, covering the different platforms supported by both Ingres and [...]
Sometime ago I wrote a quick post on getting the Ruby binding for ODBC working with Ingres. Whilst there is still some work to be done there I thought I might write about the Ingres Ruby binding and Ruby on Rails (RoR) adapter.
A consultant for an Ingres client based in the US was asked to [...]
The following just landed in my inbox from the IngresVIP mailing list:
The latest version of Ingres 2006 by Ingres has been released! This release is a beta version, preparing for the production version release, which will take place in Q1 2008.
The new Ingres 2006 Release 3 is designed to simplify development of sophisticated applications and [...]
Since it is possible to have multiple copies of Ingres running on box I was wondering how people switch between them. When I worked in support we used to hand write the scripts used to set-up the Ingres environment. Nowadays, at least with the Linux RPM releases, that script is written for you and placed [...]
