2) Opened the gates to implement the standard USAGE privilege (CORE-2884). SQL support and validation logic are still to be developed.
3) Added the grant option to the owner permissions for packages, procedures and functions.
4) Misc cleanup and refactoring.
Convert CONCATENATE and aggregate functions to it.
Fix some bugs:
- select sum(n) over (order by n2), sum(n) over (), n, n2 from x1;
- select (select 1 from x1 b where list(1, a.n) = 1) from x1 a;
- Renamed CompiledStatement to DsqlCompilerScratch and removed inheritance to dsql_req.
- Introduced DsqlCompilerStatement, moving things from dsql_req - not completelly shareable yet.
- Make dsql_req reference a DsqlCompilerStatement. DsqlCompilerScratch may be discarded in the future.
- Replaced AlterCharSetNode usage by PreparedStatement for the default collation in database creation.
- Changed METD API.
2) Make exceptions in metadata charset and convert them to the client charset - this should fix CORE-2431
3) Support for "internal" (engine) DSQL statements and use in COMMENT ON
- Plugins API.
- Feature CORE-2700 - UDR (User Defined Routines) Engine - C++ API supporting functions, triggers and stored procedures.
- Feature CORE-2470 - Support for alternate format of strings literals.
- Feature CORE-2310 - DDL triggers.
- Feature CORE-2312 - PSQL Packages.
- Feature CORE-1209 - CONTINUE statement.
- Feature CORE-1180 - DDL syntax to change (not) nullable state of columns.
- Feature CORE-2090 - Support OVER () clause with current aggregate functions.
- Fixed CORE-2699 - Common table expression context could be used with parameters.
- Introduce ODS 12.0.
- Work in progress in type-safe parser.
- Refactor some DDL commands (procedures and triggers) from DYN to DdlNodes.
- Refactor virtual tables to use a class hierarchy instead of namespaces. This is basic thing, not based on the changes done in Vulcan. Window functions is based on this work.
- Refactor COMMENT ON and DROP FUNCTION from DYN to DdlNodes. COMMENT ON do not use GDML anymore, it uses DSQL with PreparedStatement class.
- Refactor EXECUTE BLOCK to StmtNodes.
- Refactor the IUDF to SysFunctions. That eliminates RDB$GET_CONTEXT and RDB$SET_CONTEXT from RDB$FUNCTIONS.
