      All,

      I have an xltp script that use to pull data from a gnu_database, but I have found that it is no longer doing so because the gdbm_open command is deprecated and I am told to use clsqlite_open instead.  Unfortunately I cannot get this to work, anyone have any scripts that open a gdbm database with the clsqlite_open command?

      Thanks,

      Jerry

          Jerry,

          You will need to migrate the database to sqlite and use the clsqlite_* commands in place of the gdbm_* commands.

          There is an automated way to do this and it is described in detail in the 5.8.1.0 (and above) release notes.  Look for the section titled Migrating a gdbm file to the sqlite database

              Rob,

              It appears I cannot run that command because the GDBM library is greater than the version it uses.  Any other suggestions?

                Can you run the gdbm commands directly from the hcitcl shell?

                I have never used gdbm, but it looks fairly simple – and I’m very familiar with Sqlite.

                I’d be willing to take  a swing at converting your gdbm database if you’d like to send it to me – assuming it’s not too large and doesn’t contain patient data…

                  Sorry to bring up an older thread but i am in process of testing 6.0.1. Our current CL is 5.4.1. I am getting “orders500_xlatetpsGnuDbStore gdbm_open failed: The db may already be open in exclusive write mode!” errors.

                  Do i have to switch to the sqlite? We will no longer have a need for these databases in the future and was hoping to just keep them as is.

                  thank you.
