Eloquence B.07.00 release
The following substential changes are implemented with the B.07.00 release:
- Eloquence ported to Itanium
Eloquence B.07.00 is available for the Itanium (IA-64) architecture
on HP-UX.
- TurboIMAGE compatibility
The Eloquence
TurboIMAGE compatibility extension
(IMAGE3K) has been enhanced substantially.
It implements a HP e3000 TurboIMAGE compatible interface for the
Eloquence database. The IMAGE3K extension allows porting of HPe3000
IMAGE based applications to Eloquence with no or only minor source

- Database enhancements
Eloquence B.07.00 provides improved database functionality
and performance.
More ...
- Database performance enhancements
The B.07.00 database server reduces the number of write
requests to the transaction log volume by bundling them to a
single request whenever possible.
This can result in significantly improved write performance compared
to the A.06.31 eloqdb6. During write operations such as DBPUT or
DBUPDATE the performance gains can be up to 25%.
- Forward-logging functionality
The forward-logging functionality provides additional protection against
system failure and speeds up recovery in case of a fatal problem.
Forward-logging retains a log of all changes since the last backup.
In case of a system failure those changes may be re-applied to the
last backup, thus ensuring that no data is lost
and database integrity is maintained.
More ...
- Improved dbutil utility
The dbutil utility has been changed substantially. It provides an
interactive user interface to allow easy management of database
security options and database properties.
The dbutil scripting abilities have been improved to support
database structural maintenance and other administrative
operations.
More ...
- Increased database (schema) limits
The database limits have been modified to follow or extend the
current TurboIMAGE limits.
More ...
- Native support of TurboIMAGE item types
The items types supported by TurboIMAGE on the HP3000 are now
supported.
More ...
- Default database server and user can be specified in
the environment
The EQ_DBSERVER, EQ_DBUSER and EQ_DBPASSWORD environment variables
can be used to specify the default database server, user and password.
More ...
- Enhanced QUERY version
The Eloquence QUERY application has been improved to support
the new database limits and item types. In addition a number
of general improvements and bug fixes were implemented.
More ...
- New HP-UX and Linux start/shutdown scripts
