Re: [Pharo-users] PunQlite problems

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi, most probably not related to the problem, but the currently maintained (for us) PunQLite is now here: https://github.com/pharo-nosql/PunQLite <https://github.com/pharo-nosql/PunQLite> and correct way to install it is: Metacello new repository: 'github://pharo-nosql/PunQLite/repository'; baseline: 'PunQLite'; load. â¦ even if it is basically the same (and we submit changes to mumez repository too), this is the correct place for us :) cheers, Esteban > On 06 Sep 2016, at 00:37, PBKResearch <peter(a)pbkresearch.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi â just tried a further experiment, with more mysterious results. I created a database in memory with a subset of my data. This time the program will retrieve the values as well as the keys. However, the value presented is just the first 1024 bytes, i.e. the first buffer full. In addition, in the majority of cases the correct bytes are each followed by three zero bytes, e.g. the data begins: > 3C 00 00 00 68 00 00 00 > 74 00 00 00 6D 00 00 00 > 6C 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 > 63 00 00 00 6C 00 00 00 > Rather than the expected: > 3C 68 74 6D 6C 20 63 6C. > This affects 75 of the 88 cases in my trial database. > > I presume the insertion of the zero bytes took place in the writing stage, but I have no idea what is going on.

I have installed PunQLite following the instructions in https://github.com/mumez/PunQLite <https://github.com/mumez/PunQLite>. I have run all the examples that involve using files, and everything seems OK. I have tried creating a database using my own data, which seemed to run OK. The database will display its keys successfully, but whenever I try to retrieve a value I get PqFetchError. The debug information shows that an ffi fetch operation has given a return value of -10.

This recognised the database, opened it and displayed all the keys correctly.

Re: [Pharo-users] priority for startup actions

by Esteban Lorenzano

another solution is to put all your dependent startup actions in a single startup fileâ¦ then you can load them in the order you want.

Re: [Pharo-users] priority for startup actions

they are executed in reading order, so if you name them something10.st <http://something10.st/>, something20.st <http://something20.st/>, etc. they will be in order.
