MonetDBLite (version 0.6.0)

monetdbd.liststatus: Get list of available databases from external monetdbd

Description

The monetdbd daemon can be used to manage multiple MonetDB databases in UNIX-like systems. This function connects to it and retrieves information about the available databases. Please note that monetdbd has to be configured to allow TCP control connections first. This can be done by setting a passphrase, e.g. "examplepassphrase" (monetdbd set passphrase=examplepassphrase /path/to/dbfarm) and then switching on remote control (monetdbd set control=true /path/to/dbfarm).

Usage

monetdbd.liststatus(passphrase, host="localhost", port=50000L, timeout=86400L)

Arguments

passphrase

monetdbd passphrase, see description

host

hostname to connect to

port

TCP port where monetdbd listens

timeout

Connection timeout (seconds)

Value

A data.frame that contains various information about the available databases.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
print(monetdbd.liststatus("mypasshprase")$dbname)
# }
