Use traditional firebird configuration files format in all places (intl, trace, etc.).
Add per-database configuration facility to aliases.conf (currently 15 parameters from firebird.conf).
- 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.
- 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.
This dramatically reduces the memory usage for bulk updates, thus solving CORE-1575 (serious memory bug on multiple update a table in a single transaction) and CORE-1477 (Avoiding excessive memory consumption by undo-log after series of updates) and predicting out-of-memory conditions that could often lead to record-level corruptions.
Allow to specify EXECUTE STATEMENToptional clauses in any (not fixed) order.
Use INTERNAL_PROVIDER for access to the current database by another user too.
1) Make memory counters aggregated.
2) Add attachment pool and allocate appropriate resources out of this pool.
3) Always release attachments explicitly (via destructor).
4) Always delete user requests prior to attachment deletion.
5) Introduce memory usage counters per every monitoring object.
6) Misc refactoring.
Some pieces are still incomplete (although everything basically works), but I'd like to get feedback and testing sooner rather than later.
2. Introduce new private API calls, fb__shutdown() and fb__shutdown_callback().
3. Introduce fb_smp_server - binary to run superclassic on posix.
4. Various cleanups.
