Category: PF general Group: (zombie: Pathfinder 0.18) >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Peter Boncz (boncz) Assigned to: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Summary: XQ: windows de-install should warn and empty bat/ dirs Initial Comment: on windows, the MonetDB dbfarm is located in: c:\Documents and Settings\..user..\Application Data\MonetDB4 when MonetDB is deinstalled, this directory is not emptied or moved away. When a user installs a new MonetDB version, the net effect is that it starts using the repository left there by the old MonetDB! This can cause all kinds of nasty (hard to understand/reproduce bugs) as the logical database format may change version after version. it also causes confusion with 64-bits windows. A 64-bits windows server exits immediately with an error upon seeing the 32-bits repo. The CMD windows closes so quickly that this error is illegible. The user (me too) just thinks the 64-bits product does not work at all; ie that it crashed. my suggested solution is to remove the old repositories at *deinstall* time. For me, removing would only entail recursively removing the contents of the dbfarm/*/bat/* directories. The deinstaller should tell the user that certain dbfarm subdirs (repositories) are going to be thrown away, and offer a Cancel button with the suggestion to start MonetDB/XQuery, use the admin console to backup his/her databases. Please do not remove the dbfarm/* directories, because these backups are found in the dbfarm/*/xml/ subdir. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=482468&aid=1747068&group_id=56967 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
