OLTP

---

What Is This..
——————–
‘oltp’ is a simulator for online transaction processing in a multiuser system
like UNIX/LINUX.A real time oltp application can process transactions(READ-WRITE-
MODIFCATION on a master data base file) done on different terminals with only one
system as server & all connected through a network.

Why I Wrote oltp:..
—————————
I finished my training on “Advanced C/UNIX” in “Uttara-Software training Centre,
Bangalore”.At the end of training we have to do one project in C on UNIX platform.
And oltp is “the best” assignment which has most of the Unix/Linux internals.
In real time, there will be a network through which all processes on different
terminals should communicate.But in HOME…a simulator & that is….oltp.

Two classes of SOLUTIONS to Concurrence Problem..
————————————————-
1.Decentralized OLTP:
Here every process is going to have READ-WRITE-MODIFY permissions on master database
file.Here one can use File locking/Data locking to along with some semaphores to
protect the integrity of the Master Database file.
2.Centralized OLTP:
Here only one process has got READ-WRITE-MODIFY permissions on master database file
& is called server process running as deamon.All other processes have request this
server to their job.This what is called as a Clint-Server Model.
“oltp” –what I wrote is also a simulator for Clint-Server Model.

About System/OS..
—————–
I wrote oltp on My PC with
-Mandrake Linux 8.2 [As UNIX environment]
-ncurses v5.2.x [For User Interface for Unix terminal]

Overview of oltp..
————————
1.A header file [oltp.h] with structure definitions for our message,account etc.
2.A server.c [server_oltp.c] having all IPC initilisation routines like semget(),
msgget()..etc.Also routines like setpgrp() for Deamon process.
3.A clint.c [clint_oltp.c] with some user interface to get user input.

Befor Going through the CODE..
——————————
-You should have a fair ammount of knowledge about system V IPC.
-Curses.

Books I am Referering..
—————–
-UNIX Network Programming…By W.Richard Stevens
-Vijay Mukhi’s– The ‘C’ Odyssey

How Server & Clints Interacting..
———————————
–They are communicating through a massage que with OLTP_MSGID[..in oltp.h].
–We have our own OLTP_MSG_BUFF for massage.Server is waiting for the clint to
send massages then replies back to clint.

Channels of communication..
—————————
–Clints are requsting for channel to the server for future communication through
Master Channel[MASTER_CHAN].
–Server is sending replies through massage que with massage type as clint PID
–Usage of PID is just for the simplicity.In real time..We have to go for some other
Technique.

About User Interface using ncurses..
————————————
– I am using ncurses for the first time..Please EXCUSE ME ! ! !
– You can ALWAYS get documentation at – HERE

About Files,Compilation..
————————-
–Compile clint_oltp.c using gcc ./clint_oltp.c -lncurses -o ./oltp_clint
–Compile server_oltp.c using gcc ./server_oltp.c -o ./oltp_server
[ELSE use script "ccoltp" to do JUST that.]
To get two excutables in current directory.

Run:

$./oltp_server install————- /*To create MDF.dbase in current dir.*/

$./oltp_server start ———/*To start oltp_server as DEAMON which
is dumping all logs in a file OLTP_server.log
in current dir*/

$tail -f ./OLTP_server.log ———————–/*To Monitor logs*/

$./oltp_clint———————– /*To start a clint process*/

$./OLTP_server stop —————–/*to remove semaphore & message que if for some reason server dies unexpectedly to remove semaphore & message que*/

Some HOWTOs

---

How to NVIDIA on LINUX
When u install Mandrake linux it auto detects nvidia, and loads module “nv” which is I think default driver for nvidia based cards.If u want better performance, then goto nVIDIA Driver Page download latest BIN file (eg. NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run)
How to install?
It is recommended that first u change your run level to 3 (Open file “/etc/inittab ” in any editor change Runlevel:3) then “REBOOT”.
Login at prompt.
$cd /WHAT/ EVER/ DIR/CONTAINING/DOWNLOADED/RUNFILE
$./ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-XXX.run
Open “/etc/X11/XFREE86-4
Replace
Driver “nv” line BY Driver “nvidia”
Then
$startx
If everything is fine, u should see “nvidia logo”
And if there is some display problem u have to reboot.
Now u can set Runlevel to 5 (again editing that “/etc/inittab” file).

How to Internel Modem(WINMODEM) on LINUX
If you are lucky?then u may get driver (in rpm or tz format) from vendor driver page.
If you get RPM,
Very simple.
$rpm -ivh driver_xxx.rpm
open “kppp ” in xwindow terminal and your ISP accordingly.
If you get TZ format, (assuming u already installed Kernel sources)
$tar -xvzf driver_xxx.tar.gz
$cd driver_xxx
$make
If everything is fine do
$make install.
To confirm, just
$lsmod
to see which are all the modules loaded.
Let us take eg,
If u have Mototrola SM56 internal modem…
I think Motorola site have driver for RH 7.1 “sm56_RH_xxx.rpm ” (just guessing)
(Recently i visited a site, SM56.TK..Visit for more info.)
$rpm -ivh sm56_RH_xxx.rpm
$insmod sm56 —manually inserting sm56 module
$lsmod —–You should see an “SM56″ entry in the table

And if you have Conexant chip, no problem
I think you get driver for RedHat,Mandrake,SuSe including for their latest release Here OR Here
Just install that rpm..using
$rpm -ivh hsf_XXXXX.rpm
Follow the instructions..

STILL MORE TO COME ! !

Something about Mandrake Linux Installation..

---

This is a small article about Mandrake Linux installation…

And is almost same for All mandrake latest releases( Mandrake 8.1,8.2,9.0, and 9.1)

..MORE

I rescently downloaded some applications. Those are..
* Opera 7.x (also have 6.x).
* Real Player.
* Netscape 4.x
* Java Pluggin.
* Cross Over Pluggin(DEMO).
* NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run (latest driver build for NVIDIA cards).
* DOOM (Linux Version).
* Some Billard games like BillardGL-1.75-6.i386,foobillard-2.0-1.i586..etc.

I can’t put these apps here..and ofcoarce u can download these from the net.
But if u urgently need, u can contact ME
