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
CORE-1518 - Adding a non-null restricted column to a populated table renders the table inconsistent
CORE-2696 - "alter table" command can add a field which has "not null" definition
CORE-1748 - Unrestorable backup
CORE-1355 - Zero display instead of NULL
- 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.
This change affects GenericMap only, as it's used globally in a few places and we have a proven crash there.
I have a more complete solution (total cleanup of default accessors from BePlusTree and SparseBitmap) in my local tree (thanks to Dmitry Kovalenko), but it's incomplete (requires more changes inside the engine) and IMHO risky (~20 core modules are affected), so I'd like to defer finalization of this cleanup till v3.0.
All objects of these types seem being protected by dbb_sync, so they shouldn't cause us any problems currently.
Ability to stop execution of external query when :
- engine is shutted down
- database is shutted down
- local statement is cancelled
- local connection is cancelled
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.
2) Replaced "early" (before LM) checkouts with "late" (inside LM) ones.
3) Removed the mutex protection that's no longer necessary.
Note: the new LM contains some future code (currently commented out) which will be enabled and tested after the Alpha release.
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.
