SUPERSERVER has 4 different meanings in our code:
- this is milticlient server (replaced with Config::getMultiClientServer())
- use shared data cache (replaced with Config::getSharedCache())
- use shared metadata cache (replaced with macro SHARED_METADATA_CACHE)
- database are NOT shared between processes (replaced with getSharedDatabase())
2. Use fb_smp_server as both superclassic and classic binary on posix
(xinetd autodecection is done).
3. Small posix build cleanup.
Fixed the layering for WITH LOCK and (partially) ANY/ALL predicates.
Cleaned up the outdated code that never worked (mapping DISTINCT to an index, some VMS remainings).
Wiped out a lot of the pre-ODS11 optimizer logic. Some minor adjustments there.
Re-implemented the full outer join from scratch. This resolves CORE-2678 (full outer join cannot use available indices).
Resolved CORE-2796: DB_KEY is always zero for external tables.
Implemented the core part of the scrollable PSQL cursors. Implementation is still incomplete, but ready for testing.
Some other changes I don't recall at the moment ;-)
WARNING! The engine may be unstable. Please email me about any issues found.
- 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.
related with local events from isc_sync.cpp.
2. Cleanup - removed unused parameter 'number of events' from ISC_event_wait()
and two unused parameters from ISC_event_init().
3. Added SYSV-semaphore based implementation of IPC to isc_sync.cpp.
This should fix CORE-2102: Firebird 2.5 does not build on MacOS (Darwin).
4. Fixed use of posic CS without (x)inetd (i.e. fb_inet_server -s).
5. Fixed (to be reviewed by Dmitry) recovery after some process death in lock manager.
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.
Move active requests cancellation at engine shutdown from Y-valve into engine and let them stop execution before deletion of attachments.
Make sweep run in separate thread despite of engine architecture.
Notice you can't safely assume SCHAR is signed char since Mike Nordell made it a synonym for plain char that's compiler-dependent.
SCHAR is defined in both types_pub.h and fb_types.h.
