Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: Next Release (example) Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Fabian (mr-meltdown) Assigned to: Fabian (mr-meltdown) Summary: merovingian: extensive properties support Initial Comment: >From a mail to venks: > Following are the basic requirements: > > - Need to specify the data/log/check-point directories pointing to > a different directories merovingian cannot change these variables for each database started, it would need to know that information. However, it just uses the monetdb5.conf file, which would allow you to do the following: - make dbfarm and sql_logs point to some place in the filesystem where you want them - create the database using monetdb create <database> - move the created directories in dbfarm and sql_logs to the filesystem you want them - create symlinks for the directories just moved It's more a workaround, I admit, but it avoids making merovingian's configuration very complex. If you really prefer these locations to be configurable, please file a feature request, as the monetdb tool could in theory do things like setting properties for databases, which merovingian uses during starting of the database. I could imagine something much like Solaris' zfs get/set commands and the properties with inheritance and all for each (sub) filesystem. In fact I very much like this idea, because it enables the advanced user to do even more customisations while the defaults should be fine for the average user. The properties could just be stored in some .properties file in the dbfarm/dbname dir, and managed by the monetdb tool, honored on execution by merovingian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=482471&aid=1837591&group_id=56967 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
