Improved Connect/Disconnect Performance

Several improvements were made to the performance of connections and disconnections.

PowerSearch Supported in QUALIFY Statements

The PowerSearch feature is now available in QUALIFY statements as well as SELECT statements, both through a POWERSEARCH option to the QUALIFY statement, and also through a POWERSEARCH option in the CREATE ENVIRONMENT statement.

Sampling in Omnidex Grids
