| + | |||
| + | ===== 5.01.01D July 2010 ===== | ||
| + | * Added Machine (System and User) Data Source creation and editing to the Omnidex ODBC Driver under Windows. You create/modify/delete System/User/File DSN using the standard “ODBC Data Source Administrator” program. Access this interface from Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Under Linux, you need to use odbcinst program if you use UnixODBC. Otherwise, you need to manually modify ODBC.INI file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 5.01.01C June 2010 ===== | ||
| + | * Added a WITH LOG=<log directory> to log indexing information during the UPDATE INDEXES process. Also added a dbinstal.log that shows the dbinstal execution for this UPDATE INDEXES. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 5.01.01B June 2010 ===== | ||
| + | * Minor bug fixes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 5.01.01A May 2010 ===== | ||
| + | * Initial 5.01.01A release. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== DDL Support ==== | ||
| + | * Omnidex Data Definitiion (DDL) support | ||
| + | * CREATE ENVIRONMENT | ||
| + | * CREATE DATABASE | ||
| + | * CREATE TABLE | ||
| + | * CREATE INDEX | ||
| + | * DROP ENVIRONMENT | ||
| + | * DROP DATABASE | ||
| + | * DROP TABLE | ||
| + | * DROP INDEX | ||
| + | ==== Terminology changes ==== | ||
| + | Omnidex Index is a MDK index with the No Parse and No Exclude options (dbinstal NP, NE). | ||
| + | QuickText Index is a MDK index with the keyword option (dbinstal KW). | ||
| + | FullText Index is a MDK index with the proximity option (dbinstal PX). | ||
| - | ===== Build 4.3.4A - Apr 2007 ===== | + | ==== XML versus ENV Catalogs ==== |
| - | ==== Moderate ==== | + | As of Omnidex 5.1 XML Environments are the preferred approach over the legacy Omnidex Environment Catalogs using the original OmniAccess Environment syntax and compiled with oacomp. With 5.1, XML Environments can be more easily maintained with the OdxSQL using the DDL CREATE statements. The new Omnidex Environment file is stored in the common XML format. |
| - | * Port to 64-bit Linux | + | |
| - | ==== Minor ==== | + | ==== Known Problems ==== |
| - | * Change oahelper’s generation of Omnidex installation scripts from a Unix shell script to a two input files, one for installing indexes and one for building indexes | + | * NsAdmin does not work. |
| - | * Change oahelper’s environment source generation to declare the database type as SQL Server rather than ODBC on SQL Server databases | + | * odxnet -admin option is not currently active. |
| - | * Support for SET CONTINUATION ON | OFF in ODXSQL to support Oracle or SQL Server style of entering multi-line statements. | + | * odxnet -nodaemon option is disabled. |
| - | * Fix OMNIDEX_DEBUG=ALL to display DataAccess driver messages as well | + | |
| - | * Change licensing checks in Omnidex so that more utility operations are allowed when unlicensed, while still prohibiting database and index access. | + | |
| - | * Fix problem where the OFX index files were not being deleted along with their TDF data files | + | |
| - | * Fix problem in the Omnidex kernel where the pre-intersect counts were inaccurate on bitmap-indexed columns. | + | |
| - | * Internal only: change odxget’s count parameter to a 32-bit integer to allow larger skip forward or skip backward operations. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| + | ==== OdxSQL Changes ==== | ||
| + | * OdxSQL now defaults to using a terminator, like Oracle or SQL Server. In 5.0 and earlier, you could do: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | select * \ | ||
| + | from grs \ | ||
| + | where criteria | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | and not have to end with a terminator. Now you can do: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | select * | ||
| + | from grs | ||
| + | where criteria; | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | and not have to enter the continuation characters. | ||
| + | To get the previous behavior, use the following OdxSQL SET option. | ||
| - | ===== Build 4.3.03A - Feb 2007 ===== | + | set termination off |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Moderate ==== | + | |
| - | * Support for optimized radius searches, including | + | |
| - | * Support for $distance function | + | |
| - | * Support for USAGE LATITUDE, USAGE LONGITUDE in the environment file | + | |
| - | * Optimization of $distance functions against Omnidex composite keys containing longitude and then latitude | + | |
| - | * Support for Rollup Tables, including | + | |
| - | * Support for declaration of Rollup Tables in the environment files | + | |
| - | * Support for automatically optimizing queries using rollup tables | + | |
| - | * Support for UPDATE ROLLUPS command in ODXSQL | + | |
| - | * Support for metadata about Rollup Tables in oatableinfo | + | |
| - | * Support for PARTITION BY clauses containing more than one predicate, such as STATE in (‘CO’) and ZIP between (‘80000’ and ‘80999’) | + | |
| - | ==== Minor ==== | + | |
| - | * Support for Oracle 8 on Windows platforms | + | |
| - | * Support for Oracle 10g on Linux platforms | + | |
| - | * Fix error in Omnidex kernel in large wildcard qualifications, such as 1995@ (Axciom) | + | |
| - | * Fix error in Omnidex kernel dealing with intersecting large bitmap ID lists | + | |
| - | * Allow partitioning of all tables for grid environments, rather than restricting to child tables | + | |
| - | * Improve table join support for grid environments | + | |
| - | * Improve temporary file naming routines to make more unique for high-speed, multithreaded operations | + | |
| - | * Disallow the LOAD OFX FOR TDF … command since it is replaced by LOAD OFX FOR TABLE … command | + | |
| - | ===== Build 4.3.2B - Oct 2006 ===== | + | |
| - | * Support for creating/attaching a temp table with a specified access level. | + | |
| - | * Improved handling of semaphores | + | |
| - | * Fixed eadecomp to preserve "partition by" clauses | + | |
| - | * Fixed oahelper to load correct .dll based on version number | + | |
| - | ===== Build 4.3.1E - Sep 2006 ===== | + | |
| - | * Support for new PRESERVE_CRITERIA option in oaselect | + | and it will use the 5.0-style behavior. |
| - | * Improved performance when checking for blank char fields | + | |
| - | * Handling of incorrectly formulated in-clauses (e.g., "gender in (M, F, G)" instead of "gender in ('M', 'F', 'G')" ) | + | |
| - | * Fixed partition table problem when "env.db.tbl" is used | + | |
| - | * Fixed OPEN CURSOR and CLOSE CURSOR issues in Omnidex OmniAccess Client API (cloa) | + | |
| - | * Fixed SNOWFLAKE_UNJOIN problem of changing "or" to "and" in the where clause | + | |
| - | * Removed reliance on the OMNIDEX_LIBS environment variable. | + | |
| - | ===== Build 4.3.1B - Jul 2006 ===== | ||
| - | * Support for multiple OR’d values in partition qualifiers for aggregation indexes | ||
| - | * Support for partition qualifiers in aggregation indexes that have partial columns as the first component | ||
| - | * Support for partition qualifiers in aggregation indexes that have partial columns as the first component | ||
| - | * Support for the DISTINCT_IN_PARTITION option to the COLUMN statement within Union Views. This option indicates that count distinct operations on this column are better optimized because the administrator guarantees that values are distinct within each partition. | ||
| - | * Support for the CACHE/NOCACHE options in the DBUNION rules in environment files. This option indicates that the grid processing should cache connections to the node so that repeated calls to CLoaconnect, CLoaopencursor, CLoaclosecursor and CLoadisconnect are not needed for each node within each query. | ||
| - | * Extend limit for Alt Sorts using Aggregation Indexes from 16 components to 32 components | ||
| - | * Enhance Union View processing to honor DISTINCT_IN_PARTITION clauses on SELECT DISTINCT … statements. | ||
| - | * Support for Postgres RDBMS using our DataAccess ODBC driver | ||
| - | * Further support for partial-length components as partition qualifiers in Aggregation Indexes. | ||
| - | * Change sequence of instructions in Omnidex kernel to circumvent a Microsoft compiler optimization error | ||

| - | * Support for compiling and running in 32-bit mode on 64-bit Windows architecture. | ||
| - | * Improve performance on Record Specific processing on Windows. | ||
| - | * Support multiple databases in NODE section and multiple table.column in the UNIQUE_TO_NODE clause of DBUNION rule. | ||
| - | * Fix error on criteria with long quoted strings | ||
| - | * Favor ASK over MDK optimization for distinct key processing. | ||
| - | * Fix problem with temporary files on certain aggregations. | ||
