ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0801254
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the dbutil utility
as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated in
the Eloquence B.07.10 release.
Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch.
Severity:
PE71-0801254: ENHANCEMENT
Superseded patches:
PE71-0709203: BUG FIX
PE71-0611060: BUG FIX
PE71-0610311: BUG FIX
Patch PE71-0801254
------------------
Platforms: All
* Added support for case insensitive index option (#1073)
A new "CI" index option was added to specify case insensitive
indexes. The example below would set the index options EMPTY
and CI:
CHANGE IITEM <iitem>
FLAGS CI,EMPTY;
NOTE: To use case insensitive indexes, the related eloqdb6
patch PE71-0801240 or newer must be installed before creating
or changing an index with this option. Otherwise the index
could be corrupted.
* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.9"
Notes / Related patches:
- Using the case insensitive index functionality requires a recent
eloqdb6 database server version (patch PE71-0801240 or newer).
- Patch PE71-0801252 adds case insensitive index support to the
schema processor.
- Patch PE71-0801253 adds case insensitive index support to the
prschema utility.
Patch PE71-0709203
------------------
Platforms: Windows
* On recent Windows versions the dbutil utility could fail to start.
During dbutil startup, a temporary file was created in the current
root directory, typically C:\.
On recent Windows versions starting with Windows Vista, C:\ is
write-protected by default, causing dbutil to fail.
The dbutil utility now uses the system-defined temporary directory.
* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8"
Patch PE71-0611060
------------------
Platforms: All
* Corrected improper database privilege check introduced with
PE71-0610311 (#3233).
This defect had the effect that the DBPRIV privilege was checked
instead of the DADMIN when maintaining database properties
from a script file.
* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7"
Patch PE71-0610311
------------------
Platforms: All
* Database names longer than 80 characters could cause dbutil to
abort with a SEGV signal when used interactively (#2709).
* When using dbutil interactively pressing return in an empty
selection list (such as database properties) could result in an
internal failure (#2409, #2964). A message like below was output:
FATAL: Internal problem detected in dbproperty_dlg.
Assertion failed: (cy >= 0 && cy < dbproperty_cnt)
* Saving a database session could emit the wrong syntax when
database privileges were changed (#3081).
* dbutil did not properly check for the DADMIN privilege (#3233).
This had the effect that dbutil denied changing database
properties although the database user had the required
DADMIN privilege. A message like below was output by dbutil:
*** The DADMIN capability is required to ...
* The DELETE PATH syntax was simplified and no longer requires
specification of a master set (#3203). The new syntax is as
below:
DELETE PATH item-name;
The previous syntax is still accepted but the set name is
not verified.
DELETE PATH item-name(set-name);
Deleting a path from a set does not require specifying a master
set as this information is available from the database schema.
* dbutil enforced a minimum record size (media size) of 4 bytes
(#3234). This limitation could affect compatibility of stand-alone
manual master and detail sets. An error message like below was
output by dbutil:
SET-NAME: Data set below min. entry length (4)
The minimum record size limitation was removed from Eloquence
B.07.10 (and recent B.07.00 patch levels) but was still enforced
by dbutil.
* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.6"
