Warehouse Release 2.07.3140

9/23/2002

There is now a new release of Warehouse available (2.07.3140).

Some of the features in 2.07.3140 were available in a pre-release version numbered 2.07.3130. The fixes and enhancements in the 2.07.3140 release are:

• The data type ORACLE TIMESTAMP that represents a date and time down to a nanosecond of precision. An ORACLE TIMESTAMP is an 11 byte value where bytes 1-7 are the same as an ORACLE DATE, and bytes 8-11 represent the nanosecond within the second expressed using a 32 integer in big endian format. (Available in 2.07.3130)
• A Warehouse server problem with incomplete logoffs on Windows NT has been fixed. This fix only applies to Windows NT. (Available in 2.07.3130)
• The Warehouse server has been enhanced to report Oracle views to DataBridger Studio. When connecting to previous releases of the Warehouse server with DataBridger Studio Oracle views were not displayed. Now views are displayed as though they are tables. (Available in 2.07.3130)
• $NOW0 has been added as a Warehouse variable. $NOW0 is the current time just like $NOW with the difference being that $NOW0 does not change during the run of the script. $NOW0 is computed only once by Warehouse and $NOW is computed every time it is accessed by the script. (New in 2.07.3140)
• Flat files with commit/rollback are now supported. A TEXT or FIXED opened with mode "!r+" supports commit and rollback transaction processing. This is implemented internally in Warehouse by keeping track of all file changes in internal buffers. If the file is subsequently rolled back, all changes to the file are discarded. If the file is committed, then all changes are written to disk. (New in 2.07.3140)

Release 2.07.3140 is available now on all supported platforms.
