I have been storing my large files in CLOBs within Oracle, but I am thinking of storing my large files in a shared drive, then having a column in Oracle contain pointers to the files. This would use DVC.

When I do this,

(a) are the paths in Oracle paths that point to the files in my shared drive, as in, the actual files themselves?

(b) or do the paths in Oracle point somehow to the DVC metafile?

Any insight would help me out!

Thanks :) Justin

EDIT to provide more clarity:

I checked here (https://dvc.org/doc/api-reference/open), and it helped, but I'm not fully there yet ...

I want to pull a file from a remote dvc repository using python (which I have connected to the Oracle database). So, if we can make that work, I think I will be good. But, I am confused. If I specify 'remote' below, then how do I name the file (e.g., 'activity.log') when the remote files are all encoded?

I'm trying to setup DVC with Google Drive storage as shown here. So far, I've been unsuccessful in pushing data to the remote. I tried both with and without the Google App setup.

After running a dvc push -v, the following exception is shown:

I have a couple of projects that are using and updating the same data sources. I recently learned about dvc's data registries, which sound like a great way of versioning data across these different projects (e.g. scrapers, computational pipelines).

I have put all of the relevant data into data-registry and then I imported the relevant files into the scraper project with:

Some package, such as DVC allow you to install extra dependencies to use additional features: to install a single extra dependency, whether by command line or in a requirements.txt, you simply use brackets:

I use DVC to track my media files. I use MacOS and I want".DS_Store" files to be ignored by DVC. According to DVC documentation I can achieve it with .dvcignore. I created .dvcignore file with ".DS_Store" rule. However every time ".DS_Store" is created dvc status still says that content has changed

Here is the little test to reproduce my issue:

I dvc add-ed a file I did not mean to add. I have not yet committed.

How do I undo this operation? In Git, you would do git rm --cached .

To be clear: I want to make DVC forget about the file, and I want the file to remain untouched in my working tree. This is the opposite of what dvc remove does.

One issue on the DVC issue tracker suggests that dvc unprotect is the right command. But reading the manual page suggests otherwise.

Is this possible with DVC?

According to this tutorial when I update file I should remove file from under DVC control first (i.e. execute dvc unprotect .dvc or dvc remove .dvc) and then add it again via dvc add . However It's not clear if I should apply the same workflow for the directories.

I have the directory under DVC control with the following structure:

I am following the tutorial about Data Version Control using mingw32 on Windows 7.

I am getting very strange error when I try to use run:
