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Cleaned up the outdated code that never worked (mapping DISTINCT to an index, some VMS remainings).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.
