MonetDB用户指南0——Reader's guide文档阅读指导

原文：http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation

 

The documentation of an evolving system like MonetDB often runs behind the implementation. We apologize for the inconvenience upfront. We have included a commentary sections for users to contribute updates to the documentation as they see fit to be shared by others. The manuals are split into a few categories, summarized below

 

文档总是落后于MonetDB的实现，这里给大家道歉。我们已经共享了大家贡献的文档。文档被分隔成为如下几部分：

User guide
The user guide is the starting point for managing database servers on your machine. It provides introductions to the MonetDB daemon, system resource claims, backup- and recovery, etc.

 

用户指导

用户指导是开始管理1个数据库服务的开始，它介绍了MonetDB的守护进程、系统资源、备份恢复等。

 

SQL reference manual
We assume that the user has acquired basic knowledge of SQL elsewhere. The SQL reference manual contains a synopsis of the SQL 2003 language features being supported by MonetDB.

SQL手册

我认假设用户是有一定的SQL基础知识的。SQL手册包括MonetDB将要支持的SQL2003新特性。

 

Recipes book
A series of short essays addressing recurring challenges in using MonetDB SQL to realize applications, including
What graphical user clients to use? 
How to run a cluster of MonetDB servers?
How to fast load data from external sources?
How to monitor and set optimizers?

方法书

包括一系列短文，主要是用MonetDB实现应程序，解决问题，包括：

什么图形化客户端可以使用？

如何执行一个MonetDB的集群？

如何从外部数据源快速加载数据？

如何监控和优化？

 

System catalog
An overview of the system catalog scheme.

系统Catalog字典

 

Extensions
SQL language extensions such as geospatial.

SQL的扩展，如geospatial

Internals
   A concise description of the MonetDB architecture, its interface language MAL, data structures and  algorithms are a good starting point for getting your feet wet when diving into the code itself.

内核

关于MonetDB架构的描述，MAL语言、数据结构、算法等，这些可以方面研究源码，是深入研究源码的开始。
