 PE83-2005061: BUG FIX


Patch PE83-2302030
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a problem with idb_ctl not initializing the library correctly.
  This could have the effect that an initial idbc_ctl or image3k dbcoontrol
  call may cause some default setting not recognized. This was observed with
  EQ_DBUSER and EQ_DBPASSWORD environment variables.

* Changed the internal library revision to "B.08.30.06".


Patch PE83-2103220
------------------

Platforms: All

* Add environment variable to disable thread isolation.

  The Eloquence B.08.30 database client libraries are thread safe
  by default and separate database accesses from multiple threads
  while enabling concurrent database access within.

  This may affect backwards compatibility with applications that use
  multiple threads but do not take advantage of the builtin thread
  handling.

  Setting EQ_DBTHREADSAFE=0 may be used to disable the thread handling
  in the database client libraries.

  Please note that disabling thread safety has no performance
  advantage but will limit concurrency and add complexity to multi
  threaded database access.

* Changed the internal library revision to "B.08.30.04".

* The related patch PE83-2103221 (or superseding) must be installed.


Patch PE83-2005061
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a problem with the FTC ODXGET call when using a count
  argument above 255.

* Changed the internal library revision to "B.08.30.03".
