REPOSTED FOR NON-MEMBER:Michael Logue [EMAIL PROTECTED]ext/plain

After 22 years in the MV world, a new opportunity has come up within IBM
that I will be pursuing. As such, I will be unsubscribing from this list.

While I've not done a lot of posting to these forums (I leave that to
Wally!), I have read almost every post going back almost 10 years, when
Clif was hosting this list.

I've learned a lot about what UniVerse and UniData can do from the folks
here, and while my new role isn't technical in nature, there were lots of
other lessons to be gleaned 'between the lines' of these posts.

Good luck to everyone in their future MV endeavors!

Congrats Michael, all the best. Thanks for your labors and
contributions.

[U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file

2007-11-01 Thread Burwell, Ed
Hello,

I have been getting corrupt data lately.  Stuff like this:

sort: warning: first character of the record is '\0' discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!
sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it!

Are there any programming no-no's that could cause stuff like this, for 
instance:

1. Putting logic in an UPDATE trigger that calls a UniData function that run a 
UniQuery statement that creates XML, then writes that XML to a file (to be HTTP 
transmitted later by a separate background task).

2. Putting logic in an UPDATE trigger that compares the prior record to the one 
about to be written, then updates a log file if the records are different.

3. Four separate indexes on a file.

I'm getting desperate.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks.

Ed

What unidata version?

What SELECT .. BY statement were you using.

Are the BY fields actually stored in the file, or are they I-types that
tran to another file?

Re: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file

2007-11-01 Thread Wally Terhune
UniBasic does not prevent you from writing out a record or ID with char(0)
imbedded. It is a legal character.
No guesses as to the cause of your particular issue.
To assist in diagnosis, you can search your problem file for all occurances
of char(0) in data records or keys using an option on 'guide'.
For instance:

guide -U0 PROBLEM.FILE.NAME

option is -U followed by the ascii charcter number you want to search for.

[U2] Need help connecting to Universe and querying via SQL Server 2005 Management Studio

2007-11-01 Thread Victoria G. Carson
I need to run ad-hoc queries against a Universe database from SQL Server
2005.  I'm using Management Studio (formerly Query Analyzer).  

I can connect to Universe via MS Excel and obtain query results, but am
struggling with how to query via SQL Server.  Do I need to set up the
universe database as a linked server?  If anyone knows how to do that, I
sure could use some help!

 

Thanks,

It does not work with UV (10.0).  Is there a similar command available in
