This is not a theoretical question. A mistake had actually been made. I did not (and still do not) want to make public (to such a big audience) the concrete case, since I do not want to offend the person (and the registry in last instance) who made this mistake. I will let you know by private mail.

Inconsistent NIC handles
by zsako＠banknet.net 09 Oct '95

09 Oct '95

Dear all, I have just come accross a problem with the RIPE database. I am sorry to bother you if this has already been discussed. What I noticed is an inconsistency problem between the different databases that keep the same type of information (in this case _person_ objects). Theoretically the NIC handle is supposed to uniquely identify the person. The problem I noticed is that somebody (inadvertently) registered a person with an Internic-type NIC handle (i.e. without the "-RIPE" suffix) in the RIPE database. The result is an inconsistency between the two databases (RIPE and Internic). One gets different answers, depending on whom one asks the question. I can think of two approaches to solve this problem: - First is checking for the "-RIPE" suffix in the "nic-hdl" attribute when updating a person object (whenever nic-hdl is not empty) - Second is checking (whenever possible) for inconsistencies with the apporpriate database (in our case one could check the person object in the Internic database). I think the first approach can be too restrictive (it would not allow for redundant data between the databases, which otherwise can be useful for saving bandwidth on frequent queries). This would nevertheless have the benefit of preventing people from registering the same thing in several places (and forget to update some of them eventually). Probably the badwidth saving can be better addressed with the sites that keep the large databases 'mirroring' each other. The second approach can be too complicated in case one would like to check more than just the name of the person. There might be problems with the name as well in case of several 'first' names for example. Nevertheless I feel some basic check would be welcome... Best regards, Janos Zsako

(temorary) solution for the database index problems ?!?!
by RIPE Database Manager 02 Oct '95

02 Oct '95

Dear all, The last days I did some further research with Benoit Grange and Willi Huber (they both run SUN OS, so we could use each others binaries) on the recent indexing problems. This morning I found out that the problems disappear when you don't use the '-p' prime option in netdbm. This option adds dummy objects to the database to make the lookups faster. So for the temporary solution: Do *NOT* use the '-p' option in netdbm !!! I am not sure yet if there is a bug in the code or that certain 'dbm' versions cause the problems. I will investigate further ... Kind regards, David Kessens RIPE NCC Database software maintainer --------
