2) Applied the same approach to temporary GC records.
3) Refactored the Record class to avoid reallocations, to improve encapsulation and to simplify the code.
4) Slightly refactored UndoItem to isolate its logic from the Record class.
5) Reduced the in-memory size of the undo log.
6) Slightly better alternative to the legacy NULL reporting for outer joins.
7) Minor fixes and adjustments in BufferedStream.
- Changed streams from UCHAR to ULONG as Dmitry wanted
- Got rid of some redundant flags to indicate BLR level
- Misc changes (for example, converted to test for DBB_read_only in Database to a function)
- BLR v6 is left commented (waiting for a better solution to appear, if any exists)
- This change is not going to raise the engine limits until a solution is found to express more than 255 streams in BLR.
Store ValueExprNodes instead of jrd_nod in the metadata cache.
Make RecordSourceNode child of ExprNode as they share most operations.
Get rid of the JRD visitors in favor of direct calls.
Convert assignments statement lists created inside expressions to separate source and targets ValuesExprNodes.
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Cleaned up the outdated code that never worked (mapping DISTINCT to an index, some VMS remainings).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 ;-)
