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
