inl:
- Name and password buffer overfill problems corrected.

spc:
- Message output mechanism redesigned, multilingual support added.
crmsg:
- C message file generation problems corrected.
DBMS kernel and SQL translator:
- According to the standard, REFERENCES privilege is now necessary for creating foreign keys (instead of ALTER that was formerly used). New BACKUP privilege enabling the user to perform hot backup copying of the database or its objects added.
- Output of information on system queue size during kernel startup extended and corrected.
- DBMS kernel information structures extended to use large-size buffers for inter-task exchange.
- New strategy for working with aggregative indexes in case the number of rows in start sets is largely different (scanning the index of the smaller table and search in the index of the bigger table for each selected value). Calculated results of one-variable predicates (and results of two-variable predicates) are taken into account.
- The number of modified pages of temporary tables/work files in the kernel page pool limited to optimize work with the pool.
- Capabilities of working with the local time extended. Extended format of the "time zone" argument in TO_GMTIME and TO_LOCALTIME functions allowed. As a result, functions of converting time from Greenwich to local and vice versa (plus daylight saving time) are implemented. Creation of queries depending on daylight saving time simplified.
- Algorithm for selecting the default phrase filter for BLOB columns changed. As a result, BLOB data in encodings other than CP866, CP1251 and KOI8-R can be indexed.
- User message functionality for AUDIT added (one-time writing of a user message with predefined text and marking all messages from the current connection with the predefined text in the USERTEXT field).
- Expressions, including non-constant, in the DEFAULT construction, allowed. «GENERATED BY DEFAULT (expression)» construction allowed. For GENERATED BY DEFAULT columns and columns with DEFAULT expressions, the same capability of deleting and modifying these expressions as for constant DEFAULT values implemented.
- Pre-translated query integrity check before execution by the kernel added (in addition to the same check performed by the front end when binding the parameters.
Elimination of problems:
-
Logging problems and problems of the kernel during backup copying:
-
working with BLOB using parallel cursors in the READ COMMITTED mode;
-
processing AUTOINC values during warm restart;
-
missing system table element descriptor marks;
-
mismatch of the number of versions in the table descriptor and the data file in the backup database;
-
incorrect column number counter in an aggregative primary key;
-
accumulation of log files during hot backup copying after executing the operations in the system channel;
-
incorrect actions in case of mismatch during control sum check;
-
disparity of queues and database files in case of deleting temporary tables.
-
Query processing problems:
-
using sub-queries in CASE constructions;
-
calculating full text search predicates in hierarchic queries;
-
operation of the index merging strategy in case there are long rows;
-
calculating IS [NOT] NULL predicates by aggregative index;
-
delay in using the response to one of the start sets in one-index strategy that in some cases led to significant increase in intermediate results;
-
calculating complex queries with express JOIN and external links;
-
calculating MAX aggregative function by aggregative index.
-
Problems with incorrect work with rows longer than 4K and long queries:
-
Extra uniqueness checks when creating primary and unique keys eliminated, which accelerated the creation of such keys several times.
-
Problems with encoding when getting column descriptions eliminated.
-
Work with device cache corrected.
-
Work with column queues when addressing large tables at random optimized.
-
Batch loading takes into account the specific of "cyclic" tables.
-
Comparison of real variables when working with indexes corrected: now this comparison is equally accurate as in all other cases.
-
Channel number correctness and relevance checks added in Linter Multiversion.
-
Execution of queries with NOWAIT modifier in Linter Multiversion corrected (transitions to standby mode eliminated).
-
Calculation of the maximum permitted row length in Linter Multiversion corrected in order to avoid problems with row unpacking.
-
Several problems with pre-translated query cache eliminated.
-
Several problems with DEFAULT and CHECK constructions corrected.
-
Channel context error corrected.
-
Full index locking in CORRECT INDEX removed (now only one element of the index is locked).
-
No more problems with system queue element damage after unsuccessful search that led to errors in system tables.
