New subject: Database creation from a directory tree

29 Dec 2010

      Hi David,
the syntax of the create command changed between the releases of 6.1 and 
6.3.4.
In release 6.1 you have to use:
create db C:\Users\David\Documents\OpenSong\songpacks\Songs songs
Kind regards,
Andreas

So, for 6.3.4, it creates from the command line, but it's empty.  The 
root of that path has NO files in it.  The 5861 files are in all the 
subdirectories.
Then, when I try the same syntax with 6.1, I get the following results:
...
create db songs C:\Users\David\Documents\OpenSong\songpacks\Songs
Stopped at line 1, column 17:
Syntax: CREATE [DB|COLL|FS|INDEX|USER] [...]
Create database, index or user.
Creates a new database, index or user:

DB [path] [name?]:
creates the database [name] for the file or directory [path]

COLL [name]:
creates an empty database [name]

INDEX [TEXT|ATTRIBUTE|FULLTEXT|PATH]:
creates the specified index

FS [path] [name] ([mountpoint] [backingstore]):
creates filesystem database [name] for [path]
(using [mountpoint] and [backingstore] if FUSE is activated)

USER [name] [password?]:
creates the specified user

Summary:
6.1 GUI -- works as I want it
6.1 command line -- can't get it to create
6.3.4 GUI -- creates but with only 14 entries
6.3.4 command line -- creates, but it's empty
I don't mind staying with 6.1, but I DO want to do everything with the 
command line.
Is the ADD syntax the same, in that I can simply specify the path and 
it will recurse the whole directory tree?
Thanks!!!
David

Additional question: That was in the GUI.  I'd like to do the same
thing using the command line with the .JAR file, but somewhere my
syntax is not right.  Additionally, all the XML files have NO
EXTENSION so I don't know how to specify that either in the
command line.  So, any help in that area would also be appreciated.

Could you provide your syntax?
The syntax should be:
create db dbname path/to/folder
The missing extension shouldnt be a problem, i just tested it.
In the GUI in 6.1, I can create a database from a whole directory 
hierarchy of 5,681 individual XML files.  When I point to the same 
source file directory and using the 6.3.4 GUI (which I installed with 
a pre-release version of the installer), it only processes 14 files.  
No error message (that I saw) was produced.  The behavior that I'm 
wanting is what 6.1 does.   Glad to help in solving the problem.
We will check for modifications between the releases. As quick 
workaround you could try to create an empty database and then add the 
documents with the Database/Add documents menu.
Kind regards,
Andreas
