The .tsdbrc file

• To make treebanking faster:

(setf *tsdb-cache-connections-p* t)

• To set the database home:

(tsdb:tsdb :home "/home/oe/src/itsdb/src/tsdb/home")

• To set the location of skeletons

(tsdb:tsdb :skeletons "/home/oe/src/lkb/src/tsdb/skeletons/english")

• To set what gets exported:

(setf tsdb::*redwoods-export-values*
    '(:derivation :tree :avm :mrs :indexed :prolog :xml :rmrs  :dependencies :triples))

• To save MRSes when you parse (or generate) (recommended only if you save few results: see *tsdb-maximal-number-of-results*)

(setf tsdb::*tsdb-semantix-hook* "mrs::get-mrs-string")

• To save phrase structure trees when you parse (or generate)

(setf *tsdb-trees-hook* "lkb::parse-tree-structure")

* To save MRSes when using the parse/generate scripts supply

(setf tsdb::*tsdb-write-mrs-p* t)

• To save MRSes when you export (recommended for thinning exports)

(setf tsdb::*redwoods-semantix-hook* "mrs::get-mrs-string")

• Maximum number of (passive) edges used when parsing

(setf tsdb::*tsdb-maximal-number-of-edges* 10000) 

• Maximum number of detailed results saved (derivation trees etc.)

(setf tsdb::*tsdb-maximal-number-of-results* 1000)

• To include (or not) parses marked as dis-preferred when exporting:

(setf *redwoods-export-bad-trees-p* t)

• To set the separator used in the treebanking annotation window (compare)

(setq *tree-discriminants-separator* " || ")

• To customize instance names proposed for new test suites

(setf tsdb::*tsdb-instance-template* "hinoki/%t/%d")

Values include:

(#\g grammar), (#\v version). (#\t skeleton), (#\d date), (#\s system), (#\% "%")
