- 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$FUNCTIONS.
1) Fixed CORE-1696 - "Deadlock in LM by using nbackup utility" with priority rating of lock requesting for LCK_backup_database and LCK_bdb.
2) A lot of stability fixes were made.
3) The key thing is using new GlobalRWLock for removing LCK_set_owner_handle function and speed up performance.
4) The code is still ready for using both in shared cache architecture and in claster architecture.
But added an assert to track an unexpected status vector contents early in debug builds.
Slightly refactored the error handling for events, partially synchronized the globals there.
Plus some basic const'ness, better tdbb scope, etc.
2) Throw an error when the relation cannot be locked because of being already dropped.
3) Don't release the existence lock before RDB$RELATIONS is cleaned up.
This is the first part of the changes intended to fix CORE-1938.
