Re: [U2] Limitations of uvrestore

Hi group, I'm using uvbackup/uvrestore as the system to backup uv accounts. Imho the only tool to perform : - a uvdb backup with binary level db integrity. - a cross plateform compatible backup We perform account level uvbackup sent to a local file (uvbackup accountfile.uvb). I can't talk

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

How a product that is growing can simultaneously be dying is a bit of a mystery. Sitting here with last quarter's sales figures for U2 in the UK I can definitely say it's not dying, they look very healthy indeed. George Land APT Solutions Ltd U2 UK Distributor On 03/05/2011 06:36, Tony Gravagno

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

But surely the reason is that whilst some years ago we all did everything in U2 (or D3 or whatever) today we use a blend of technologies. So it is unlikely that you will be doing new front end development in basic, you will have adopted a .NET or java or whatever approach. You will then, I hope,

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

So maybe we all need to discuss more about the blend of technologies that we use. I am also a member of a couple of MongoDB discussion groups, Mongo is a fairly new DB, and i don't think it has the userbase of U2, yet those forums are alive with technical discussion, much of it about the

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

One of the things that U2 has is the KISS principle. What I find like in .Net, is sometimes it overcomplicates a solution. 80% of my code is in UniBasic and 20% in .Net, however I feel like 80% of my time is taken up managing the .Net code compared to 20% managing the greater amount of code

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

What makes U2, isn't the database, it's the database interface. I haven't worked with any other language that was as easy to access/manipulate the data in the database than data basic. Essentially, databasic allows raw access to the data within the database. So, the beef we have, isn't so much

Re: [U2] Limitations of uvrestore

Hi. I agree with Manu. Even I would add that it is the best tool to detect File corruption too. We are doing it for years in Windows, Linux, HP-UX and AIX boxes. We allways increase the BLKMAX from default 8196 to 65536. (Otherwise uvbackup takes ages to finish...) We schedule one uvbackup of all

[U2] [uv] file header sica region structure

Hi group, I've some uvfiles where I set triggers (no SQL Schema defn). I'll check the TRIGGER defn by BASIC ! FILEINFO, STATUS ? ? I found no documentation about uvfile's SICA Region structure/access. Is there someone with idea ? (yes, I can execute a LIST.SICA and analyse the text-output

Hi Manu, As the UniVerse internals course notes state, describing the structure of the SICA would defeat its purpose. LIST.SICA is the only tool provided to access this. Martin Phillips Ladybridge Systems Ltd 17b Coldstream Lane, Hardingstone, Northampton NN4 6DB, England +44 (0)1604-709200

[U2] Unidata RESIZE CONCURRENT

Unidata 7.2.5 on RedHat. Historically, we have had downtime and a brief (1 hour) maintenance window each week where we memresize our files. We'd like to switchover to RESIZE/CONCURRENT to reduce downtime and would like to hear from anyone doing this on a production system. It's not that I

Re: [U2] Unidata RESIZE CONCURRENT

Upgrade to 7.2.8 before you try it. We tried this on 7.2.5 in Dev and required a reboot from corruption. We were informed we need to upgrade 7.2.8 to get the fix for it. As always, I'd suggest doing anything new a few times on a Dev server before trying it on a Production server. Cheers, dan

Re: [U2] Reliability doesn't raise enough issues to keep the list busy

Databases have become utility. I don't see many applications today advertising they run on Oracle or Microsoft, many are trying to be generic. People are more interested in buying SAP than worry what database it runs on. Those days of user base and TPC ratings are gone. Users and developers

Re: [U2] Unidata RESIZE CONCURRENT

I am not aware of any problems with RESIZE CONCURRENT that resulted in a corrupt file. There is a problem that can occur that results in a WRITE failure, but not physical file corruption. From the 7.2.8 readme (for Linux you will need to upgrade to 7.2.9): Issue UDT-3787 - Problem Description
