ABI versioning

2008-05-07T23:13:58Z

I am working on packaging metakit for Debian, and I noticed that there
is no SONAME in the default library provided. I was wondering what
rules you guys have for ABI compatibility - will you not break ABI
compatibiliy, or is the 4 in mk4 the ABI/API version?

In other words, is there any easy way to tell when a new release of

metakit and python 2.5 on windows

2008-04-29T21:21:03Z

Hi, i need to make a windows build of a python program that uses
metakit. I have read that i should use the latest version of metakit
to be able to use python 2.5. However i have been unable to find
binaries for download. I ask one of 2 things:

1) Someone share their binaries (from what i understand, a single DLL)

Question - Memory Usage Patterns

2008-04-27T23:26:35Z

Hi,

Has anyone made a study of Metakit's memory usage patterns?

I'm asking because I've created an 'associative database' layer on top
of Metakit, which I plan to deploy on a server with harsh memory
limitations.

My database over time is likely to end up with tens or hundreds of
thousands of rows across 3 views. Use of derived rows will be kept

corrupted data

2008-03-12T20:28:12Z

I'm trying to use metakit with mingw C++ under windows XP, but my data
seems to be getting curupted. this is my code:

const std::string test_table_name("tst");
const std::string ID_field_name("ID");
const std::string result_field_name("result");
const std::string test_number_field_name("testnu m");

./libMk4tcl2.4.9.7.so: undefined symbol: __cxa_pure_virtual

2008-02-18T21:43:07Z

I recently compiled 2.4.9.7 and I am running into the following
situation. Any idea where to turn?

% load ./libMk4tcl2.4.9.7.so
couldn't load file "./libMk4tcl2.4.9.7.so": ./libMk4tcl2.4.9.7.so:
undefined symbol: __cxa_pure_virtual

My TCL is a binary build straight out of the fedora distribution.

C#/Swig bindings

2008-01-21T02:51:09Z

Hi,
I was looking for a C# binding for Metakit. I found some 2 year old
discussions about someone working on a swig interface for Metakit. But
I found nothing after that.
Does anyone know if there are swig interface files or C# bindings
made by anyone ?

Thanks,

freeze when deleting storage (2.4.9.7 win32 debug)

2007-12-04T09:53:52Z

Hello,
I have a simple program that freezes at delete :
c4_Storage *storage=NULL;
const
char*path="C:\\zdrop\\SAV\\Act iveX55\\sample_vb2005\\sample_ vb\\bin\\Debug\\cd\\data.winpi ";
storage=new c4_Storage(path,false);
if (storage!=NULL)
{
delete storage;
storage=NULL;
}
The file data.winpi has some views with about 100 000 records, but

Problems with file names containing latin accent characters

2007-11-10T12:34:41Z

Hello all
I've used Metakit for a while, and recently I had some issues with
file names containing accent characters, like á or é. It only occurs
in Windows XP. In Linux all works ok.
But in Windows, when the file name had latin accent characters,
Metakit suppress them and thus it tried to open a non existing file.

you got your database in my Python remote objects server

2007-09-28T17:58:36Z

just want to throw this idea out and see it in appeal to anyone. I would work
on it myself except for the fact that my wrists have given out (yet again) and
writing code with speech recognition isn't the most efficient method.
I have been working on a project where I am using Pyro (Python remote objects)

pb with macosx ppc

2007-09-04T16:20:37Z

Hi
I compiled metakit 2,4,7,9 like this :
in builds directory :
export CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc"
../unix/configure --disable-shared
make
make test
This seems to work, but when executing on a PowerPC mac, it fails :
n14 - Insert in non-mapped position
Failed: A(fp)
I tried removing -O3, but no change. I tried to compile with only -arch

fleeing sql

2007-08-08T19:34:17Z

If I remember correctly, metakit is multi-reader single writer right?
since I need multi-writer, guess I'm best solving that with embedding
metakit in a server using internal access locks? does metakit work in
a python multi threaded environment either as multi thread access or a
single thread fed by multiple request threads/

metakit relational questions

2007-06-26T03:40:56Z

Hi,
I worked out how to do nested views (from trawling through list
archives, it isn't mentioned in the python documentation) - this is
great for emulating a simple SQL join.
But how do you do two tables that relate to each other?
For example, imagine one table called 'Director' which has the
columns:

Help improve the builds of Metakit

2007-06-24T15:05:51Z

I've just checked in a change to unix/Makefile.in which tries to
address this bug tracker issue:

Am not sure at all this is the right way to do things - I added $
(LDFLAGS) in a few places, but notice that $(SHLIB_FLAGS) still isn't
being used at all in the makefile. Frankly: I'm a bit lost between
