Compilation Instructions

We use make to compile all the files and creste the server executable. make is used primarily in Linux systems, so those of you who want to use Windows will probably have to look up alternatives (I hear there are ways to install make on Windows). To compile

cd into the SimpleRA directory

cd SimpleRA

cd into the soure directory (called src)

cd src

To compile

make clean
make

To run

Post compilation, an executable names server will be created in the src directory

./server

Commands / Queries

Table Commands

• Look at the Overview.html to understand the syntax and working of the table related queries.
• Look at the Report to understand logic and working of below mention commands.
• SORT <table_name> BY <column_name1, column_name2,..., column_namek> IN <ASC|DESC, ASC|DESC,..., ASC|DESC>
• <new_relation_name> <- JOIN <tablename1>, <tablename2> ON <column1> <bin_op> <column2>
• <new_table> <- ORDER BY <attribute> ASC|DESC ON <table_name>
• <new_table> <- GROUP BY <grouping_attribute> FROM <table_name> HAVING <aggregate(attribute)> <bin_op><attribute_value> RETURN <aggregate_func(attribute)>

Matrix Commands

• Look at the Report to understand the syntax, working and Logic for Matrix related queries.
• LOAD MATRIX <matrix_name>

The LOAD MATRIX command loads contents of the .csv (stored in data folder) and stores it as blocks in the data/temp directory.

• PRINT MATRIX <matrix_name>

PRINT MATRIX command prints the first 20 rows of the matrix on the terminal.

• TRANSPOSE <matrix_name>

TRANSPOSE command transposes the matrix IN PLACE (without using any additional disk blocks) and writes it back into the same blocks the matrix was stored in.

• EXPORT MATRIX <matrix_name>

EXPORT command writes the contents of the matrix named <matrix_name> into a file called <matrix_name>.csv in data folder.

• RENAME MATRIX <matrix_name> <new_matrix_name>

RENAME command change the name of matrix <matrix_name> to <new_matrix_name>.

• CHECKSYMMETRY < matrix_name > CHECKSYMMETRY command check the given matrix <matrix_name> is symmetric or not.

• COMPUTE < matrix_name >

COMPUTE command ccompute A - A_Result(A^T) of matrix and store the result into A_Result matrix.
