Connecting subversive to bdb-backed repos possible? [message #43093]

Hi there,

is there any chance of connecting from Eclipse/Subversive to a svn
repository which uses a datastore of type Berkely DB (not fsfs)?
I tried to connect with subversive with two test repositorys one of type
fsfs, one with bdb (localy on my pc). It worked with the fsfs repository
but not with the bdb repository. Anyway, I found no information that says
definitely that subversive with a bdb repositry is not possible.

Unfortunatly, the "real" remote repository I want to connect to with
Eclipse/subversive bases on bdb. This is a productive repository, so just
trying with the risk of spoiling it is no option.

So can anyone tell me, whether this could work and if yes, how?

Thanks

Hi John,

just some thoughts on this:

I guess this depends on the configured connector in Window / Preferences / Team / SVN / SVN Connector.

The JavaHL connector e.g. can create local repositories, so I guess if JavaHL supports BDB, the
Subversive will also do. SVNKit cannot create local repostories.

Did you create the repository locally? IMHO, for remote repositories the actual data store type
should be transparent.

I would expect that the SVN server protects against any spoiling/inconsistencies, but of course it
is better to be cautious.

Hello john,

What exact problems do you have with Berkley DB repository, if it's possible
please provide a stacktrace? Did you try with both connectors?

Hi there,
thanks for the answers so far and sorry for my late reply!

I've created my testrepositorys localy on my pc (windows) with svnadmin
(svn command line tools 1.1.4). Then I tried to connect from the 'SVN
Repositorys'- View in Eclipse to these local repositorys ('SVN
Repositorys'-View > right mouse click > New > Repository Location... >
Entering URL (file:C:\....) to the respective local test repository). As
you told me I tried with both connectors (SVN Kit 1.1.7 and JavaHL 1.4.5,
see table below), but both connectors failed to connect the local bdb
repository...

Connector Type|Repository Type|create Repos| browse in Repos
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------
SVN Kit 1.1.7 | fsfs |not possible| works
SVN Kit 1.1.7 | berkely db |not possilbe| no (unsupported fs type 'bdb')
JavaHL 1.4.5 | fsfs |how? | no (unable to open repository )
JavaHL 1.4.5 | berkely db |how? | no

Does this lead me to the conclusion, that it is not possible to connect
with Eclipse/Subversive to a SVN 1.1.4 bdb type repository? Or may the
problem with the JavaHL 1.4.5 connector be rooted in the fact that I try
to connect to local repositorys with file URLs (instead of 'regular'
"http://...."-URLs)?

Thanks in advance for your help!
