HI Eric,

Hello and thank for sharing this master piece of software in open
source. I'm currently evaluating it but I am stuck at some basic tasks,
one of them is:

How do I create a new catalog / database?


You can use the USE statement to create a new catalog within virtuoso e.g.

        isql 1111

        SQL> USE test;
        
        SQL> create table testme (id integer);

or from any other qualifier, by using:

        SQL> create table TEST..testme (id integer);

See: http://docs.openlinksw.com:80/virtuoso/ QUALIFIEDNAMES.html#qual_owners

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places, I haven't be able to find the
instruction in the documentation (local). Also, the search feature at
http://localhost:8890/doc/adv_search.vspx keeps returning (Query type:
Text):
<pre>
XM029: Free-text expression, line 1: syntax error at ( >
</pre>

That form is for using FreeText formatted strings, which is not completely evident. Best you use the http://docs.openlinksw.com/ virtuoso/ online documentation at first.



I also wanted to add that I encountered the same bug as described on
a previous email message: "[Virtuoso-users] Unable to create a new
Account after Installation"

when trying to add a new account via the Conductor:
<pre>
42000U0002: The object "" does not exist. in v:form "account_form" (render)
</pre>


You can download a new conductor package from:

http://download.openlinksw.com/virtuoso-opensource/5.0.2/vad/ conductor_dav.vad

(never mind the version. this will get you the latest one)

Install it in your virtuoso/vad directory over the previous one.

Then shutdown/start the virtuoso server to automatically upgrade the package or use the isql tool:

        isql 1111

        SQL> vad_install ('../vad/conductor_dav.vad');
