The MonetDB Database System

The MonetDB database was originally developed by the CWI database research group (see https://www.monetdb.org/). Development has now shifted to the spin-off company MonetDB Solutions.

Via the MonetDB project we have brought the MonetDB system in open source, where it is accessible at https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/. Even though development happens mostly in a company, the MonetDB database system will remain open source. It is available under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

The MonetDB database system is a high-performance database kernel for query-intensive applications. The MonetDB source can be found at our Mercurial server. There is also a github mirror that is updated once an hour.

Building

MonetDB is built using the cmake program. It is recommended to build in a directory that is not inside the source tree. In order to build, use the following commands when inside your build directory:

cmake [options] /path/to/monetdb/source
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install

In order to install into a different directory than the default /usr/local, add the option -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/monetdb /path/to/monetdb/source
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install

Build Options

There are many options that can be used to select how MonetDB is to be built. Options can be turned ON or OFF using a -D flag on the first of the cmake command lines. Except when specified otherwise, options are ON when the relevant libraries can be found. Available options are:

Option Explanation
ASSERT Enable asserts (default=ON for development sources, OFF for tarball installation)
CINTEGRATION Enable support for C UDFs (default=ON except on Windows)
CMAKE_SUMMARY Show a summary of the cmake configuration (for debug purposes, default=OFF)
CMAKE_UNITTEST Build and run the unittest for the build system (default=OFF)
FITS Enable support for FITS
GEOM Enable support for geom module
INT128 Enable support for 128-bit integers
NETCDF Enable support for netcdf
ODBC Compile the MonetDB ODBC driver
PY3INTEGRATION Enable support for Python 3 integration into MonetDB
RINTEGRATION Enable support for R integration into MonetDB
SANITIZER Enable support for the GCC address sanitizer (default=OFF)
SHP Enable support for ESRI Shapefiles
STRICT Enable strict compiler flags (default=ON for development sources, OFF for tarball installation)
TESTING Enable support for testing
WITH_BZ2 Include bz2 support
WITH_CMOCKA Include cmocka support (default=OFF)
WITH_CRYPTO Only in very some special cases we build without crypto dependencies
WITH_CURL Include curl support
WITH_LZMA Include lzma support
WITH_PCRE Include pcre support
WITH_PROJ Include proj support
WITH_READLINE Include readline support
WITH_UUID Include uuid support
WITH_VALGRIND Include valgrind support
WITH_XML2 Include xml2 support
WITH_ZLIB Include zlib support
