also have Cygwin SSHD. If we remove cygwin from the PATH, then
the install goes fine.
So some kind of conflict with (at least some versions of) cygwin was introduced after

Your command did not help.

Howdy all,
Thanks to Daniel's great tips, wasn't too bad. We patched xserver to skip the DNS
lookup. The xserver parameter processing is rather different on win32 vs unix in the
source, but we did our best to copy the 'existing code
style' in how we implemented the change.

Hello Gerd,
First thing to consider:
Have you run UPDATE STATISTICS on both systems before doing your tests?
In my experience... if MaxDB has out of date statistics, it will sometimes think the
table is small and a table scan will seem easier :)

Howdy all,
On Wiin32 (Windows XP or Windows 2000) with latest MaxDB 7.5.0.8 driver and server...
two systems (one server, one client). Using the
Unicode ODBC driver.
If I do these two queries from the same connection:
EXPLAIN SELECT field FROM TABLE
SELECT * FROM SHOW
I get my explain out
I feel like I"m getting bogged down in explaining my desire for a -F parameter on the
Windows version of xserver. So I'm going to take another
approach.
Offlist or onlist, can someone help me get a build environment together so I can hack
on the xserver code myself?
I see I can start with
I appreciate your confirmation of the problem.
A host file has not proven enough in case of reverse-DNS lookups that MaxDB / SAPDB
does. The same behavior has hit us wen reverse DNS was misconfigured or failed.
Especially if
you are doing a partial subnet network (/28 /29 /30, etc.) in many s
We were again hit with a production outage due to DNS dependence within MaxDB. This
time we spent 1 day setting up two test servers with
Win2K and a third running Linux. All running latest 7.5.0.8.
I reported this problem over a year ago, and no response to my two posts on the topic.

I will chime in...
First off, we have seen no difference between 7.3 / 7.4 / 7.5 versions. The driver is
independent. I believe you can even use a 7.5 ODBC
driver against an older xserver/kern. I'm a bit confused why so many people on the
list aren't upgrading to 7.5? Older releases are no
I'll preface this: I'm not trying to offend, trying to help :)
No application program (userland) should be able to reboot the system (without
explicit intention). This sounds like a hardware or operating
system problem. RAM and disk controller hardware would be suspect first. OS disk
drivers
Ok, ignore this previous post :) ALTER TABLE had been used to add a couple fields to
the old set1 table and the order of fields was no longer
the same. The error returned was due to datatype mismatch on the fields in the table
:)
Specifying the exact fields in the INSERT and SELECT corrects
Using MaxDB 7.5.0.8 on Windows 2000 the following fails:
INSERT INTO tempset1 SELECT * FROM set1 WHERE timestampfield > '2004-02-28 23:30:00'
Where the statement:
SELECT * FROM set1 WHERE timestampfield > '2004-02-28 23:30:00'
Works fine in the same context. Error returned:

Hello Steffen,
Any progress on this topic?
It is DBEXTRACT that concerns me most and is partly responsible for misleading me :)
DBEXTRACT creates a catalog script that will do things
such as:

CREATE TABLE a1
USE USER B
CREATE TABLE b1
instead of:
CREATE TABLE a.a1

Hi,
As I have mentioned on the list on the past... UPDATE STATISTICS requires lots of slow
disk I/O and it locks the tables. Some of our tables
are large and the lock can last for long periods (30 minutes or longer for a single
table). Yes, this is on professional 15,000 RPM SCSI hard

I am feeling like loadercli is not getting attention it needs. I've posted several
topics related to it and wasted a lot of time due to design
problems I have reported. Is no one at SAP / MySQL actively taking this topic and
responding on the list?

Hi Sven,
We are runing all 7.5.0.8 on our systms and I've been seeing similar problems. what
is also odd is that the 'rejected bad connect packet'
sounds aweful similar to an error I was seeing with DBMCLI / SQLCLI - and these don't
even use the ODBC?
In production we have: Win2k 7.5.0.8 odb
Hi,
We seem to have discovered that loadercli tableextract locks the table it is
extracting.
we can do a backup disk to disk, but tablextract disk to disk causes all the clients
to halt.
Is there a way to tell loadercli to not do this and act more like the backup?
Thank you.

Hi,
We are working with our newly aquired 8GB Sun Solaris Sparc system. We figured once
the DATA_CACHE was populated that most of our

I started over with PAGES. This time doing only one table (TABLEEXTRACT) instead of
