2. Added DSQL support for parametrized events.
3. Fixed bug with cursors in triggers.
4. Added support for runtime trigger action checks (INSERTING/UPDATING/DELETING).
5. Fixed bug with concatenation and trashed RDB$FIELD_LENGTH.
New helper class created to serve it properly.
2. Added exception re-raise semantics.
Syntax: EXCEPTION;
If there was handled exception, re-initiate it, otherwise evaluate to no-op.
3. Implemented run-time exception messages.
Syntax: EXCEPTION <exception_name> [<value>];
If <value> is specified, evaluate it and use instead of RDB$EXCEPTION_MESSAGE.
4. Added new SQLCODE and GDSCODE system variables.
Available in procedures/triggers only.
If there wasn't any exception raised, return zero (success), otherwise return an error code.
5. Implemented ROWS_AFFECTED system variable.
Available in procedures/triggers only.
Count rows affected by the last INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statement.
For any other statement, result is always zero.
in dialect 3 only.
2. BREAK statement has been disabled in triggers (like EXIT) because of the known
BLR limitations. I hope it can be safely used in stored procedures though, hence
I'd prefer to have it officially documented.
3. More complete implementation of the GROUP BY clause. You can group by internal
functions and have ability to use more complex grouping conditions than before.
By Arno Brinkman.
4. Allowed declaring and defining local variables at the same time.
By Claudio Valderrama.
Syntax: declare [variable] <var_name> <var_type> [{= | default} <default_value>]
5. Allowed ordinals to be used in the GROUP BY clause (like ORDER BY).
By Arno Brinkman.
Example: select extract(month from order_date), sum(order_sum) from orders group by 1
6. The first approach to the ALTER VIEW statement. Only high-level implementation so far.
A lot of work in dfw.epp, metd.epp, etc. still required.
By Dmitry Yemanov.
