464605

The "enable large pool for load" configuration parameter is added to configure the use of large buffer pools during the recovery phase for LOAD DATABASE and LOAD TRANSACTION commands execution. This configuration parameter will default to 0 if "enable functionality group" is set to 0, and to 1 if "enable functionality group" is set to 1.

480652

The paths for the cluster devices are not checked to insure they are not reused in the same input session when creating new cluster.

542339

The command, 'diagnose instance', does not report any message if the interfaces file is missing the domain suffix of the machine name.

545716

Long Running Transaction against an SAP ASE server can prevent the log being truncated, causing risk of data unavailability for DMLs. Improve how this can be managed.

546891

Permissions on "sysslices" system table remain unchanged when "GRANT DEFAULT PERMISSIONS ON SYSTEM TABLES" or "REVOKE DEFAULT PERMISSIONS ON SYSTEM TABLES" SQL commands are executed.

548593

Updating a TEXT value into a proxy TEXT column using the value from a local TEXT column results in garbage being inserted.

565321

In parallel query mode, monProcessWorkerThread.ThreadsActive, monProcess.NumChildren, monSysWorkerThreads.PlansAltered and monProcessStatement.PlansAltered are always 0.

578515

639813

Execution of stored procedure 'sp_renamedb' from read-only database results in a 3906 error, "Attempt to BEGIN TRANSACTION in database failed because database is READ ONLY." Message should reflect that "You must be in master in order to run stored procedure for read-only database."

645898

In rare circumstances, after configuring a big data cache or a large stack size, SAP ASE might implicitly shut down following a JavaVM crash while executing a Java query. The message EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION or 'ExceptionCode: c0000005' will be reported in the SAP ASE error log.

648514

Error 1105 States 4, 5, and 7 may no longer mean what they are documented to mean in the ASE Troubleshooting Guide due to reuse of the values in new code.

652328

TEXT/IMAGE page chains are not deleted properly from sysattributes when REORG REBUILD is called on a table with TEXT and IMAGE data. This can result in reduction of unreserved/available space in the database.

653277

An UPDATE query running in a batch that includes a CREATE INDEX or UPDATE/DELETE STATISTICS or an UPDATE query running simultaneously with a workload that involves CREATE INDEX or UPDATE/DELETE STATISTICS may lead to data inconsistency.

656902

If a query contains a join between partitioned tables and one of the partitioned tables degenerates to a single partition through dynamic partition elimination and there is a CIS table in the query, then a SEGV could occur in the PartNodeInfo::collocatedSite() method.

670273

In some circumstances, the Operations value in the monOpenObjectActivity MDA table does not reflect the actual number of table accesses.

672255

In some circumstance, the CPU usage of ASE might increase to near 100% after turning on the “plan text pipe active” option.

672606

674632

Enhance index scan perforamce on little-endian platforms if the index includes large mount of duplicated keys.

675791

Enhance sp_rename stored procedure to rename data and index partitions.

676122

ASE does not respond and appears to hang when invalid packets are sent to it.

680899

sybcluster should have a way to back off incomplete removal or alternately the CR 680891 should provide complete instructions for recovery from errors during "drop instance".

682354

683127

DDL is now replicated within user stored procedures.

683762

On Windows platforms, preupgrade eligibility test fails when using sysconfig.exe to upgrade ASE.

691074

sybmigrate: initial login screen doesn't see servers named with "query"

691582

In rare cases, a DUMP TRAN command is incorrectly allowed following a DUMP DATABASE command during which a partially-logged command like SELECT INTO was active that also commits some time towards the end of the DUMP DATABASE command. The partially logged operation will be lost when the database dump and transaction log are loaded.

692237

Starting the Backup Server with -D4096 will suppress messages "Attempting DSync I/O for device ' < value > '." from being reported in the Backup Server error log during the execution of a DUMP DATABASE command.

692509

sp_sysmon 'cache wizard' got Msg 3606 "Arithmetic overflow occurred"

693775

Job Scheduler is enhanced to execute job from startdate:starttime to enddate:endtime under new schedule property 'continuous_run'.

694495

694912

Exception is raised from localize command in sybcluster if ASE-15_0/locales contains unnecessary files/dirs.

696290

When a partitioned table has a local index and a query is used with a unbounded predicate and an order by clause that matches the key of the index, the query plan still uses a merge union all operator to preserve the sort ordering.

697129

(New Feature) Supporting Lock Remastering for ASE CE edition. When the master assignment is set to affinity mode, the masters will gradually get re-allocated to the instances that initiates the lock convert requests, if “enable lock remastering” is set to 1(ON) in the configuration file. By default, “enable lock remastering” is set to 0 (OFF). It is not recommended to set “enable lock remastering” to 1 (ON) for badly partitioned cases. (Internal Only) Internally it is using Master Uncaching to achieve the lock remastering by affinity mode of master assignment. The algorithm introduced is to detected the masters that are allocated on the un-designated instances, and uncache these masters when it is possible, so that next time when the lock requests are coming from the designated instances, the masters will be allocated at the designated instances. PSE is able to use DBCC lockremastering(thresh) to set the threshold for the lock remastering for each instance. The thresh value can be from 0 to 255. When thresh is set to 0, the lock remastering is turned off for the instance. The higher the thresh value it is, the longer it will take to qualify the masters for uncaching on the instance. And the default value of thresh is set to 1.

700227

Reduce additional logging done on page compressed DMLs for replication support, trigger support, and online utilities support.

701608

Signal 11 in LeSarg::mapSarg is reported due to incorrect classification of Transitive Closure predicates, at optimization time.

701705

New monitors have been added to collect each engine resource's Engine Local Caches (ELC) performance.

702725

In circumstances whereby the select list of an INSERT SELECT with ORDER BY does not include the 'order by' columns, it is possible that the optimizer will favor a non-matching index scan using an index with the order by column(s) as opposed to a more efficient plan using a matching index scan for one or more of the filter predicates. A new optcriteria cr702725 has been introduced for this change. Use "set cr702725 1" to turn on the change and "set cr702725 0" to turn it off.

702907

In specific circumstances it is possible to receive a 2601 error on execution of a stored procedure. The issue is much more likely to happen with 'deferred name resolution' enabled. This can happen when a stored procedure has been initially created, then for the 'first' execution, multiple concurrent connections all run the procedure at the 'same'time. If running with 'deferred name resolution' enabled at create procedure time, the error is much more likely to occur. It could also happen in circumstances where the query tree needs to be recreated from text as in after the ASE is upgraded.

703134

ASE provides inaccurate estimation for 'kernel resource memory' configuration parameter.

703607

Backup Server is enhanced to provide Multithread support needed for Tivoli Storage Manager options such as LAN-FREE. This support is off by default.

704671

While executing large amount of dynamically prepared statements we could find DBT_SPIN as still contentious.

704744

709754

It is possible for a spid to terminate and a stack trace to appear in the SAP ASE error log containing the functions memset and bi__xml_query/bi_xmlextract. This can happen under heavy usage when the session heap memory pool has become starved.

710057

Timing and IO metrics in monCachedStatement for running queriy keep unchanged until the query completes.

If there are no preceding errors, please contact Sybase Technical Support.", and error 11934, "REORG REBUILD of table 'tabname' failed due to an internal error. Please contact SYBASE Technical Support", may be reported when running 'reorg rebuild' command on table which has data or LOB compressedion defined after user is bind to temporary in-memory database.

711328

Using sybcluster to add an instance in interactive mode failed.

711928

712125

If there are more than 32 columns used in an UPDATE STATISTICS command, either explicitly or implicitly through the auto_temptable_stats feature, then there is a possibility of a stacktrace.

712461

If multi-column syntax is used with update statistics tabname (colname1, colname2,...) using out_of_range {on | off | default }, then the assignment of out_of_range behavior may not be associated with the correct columns.

712480

The LAVA based index creation is enhanced to support the case where the index leading columns are duplicated.

712897

sp_bindcache information is missing from DDLGen output.

712957

sybcluster will fail to connect to the cluster if duplicated agents are specified.

712970

Enhancement is made to sp_placeobject system procedure to support partitions.

712996

sp_showoptstats output has been changed for the < statsOutRan > tag to have a value of "on" if the "using out_of_range on" phrase was used in update statistics, and "off" if the "using out_of_range off" phrase was used, and will not be printed if "default" is in effect. Previously "true" was printed when "on" or "off" was used.

713074

Monitor server has been retired since 15.7 GA but sybcluster still contained the operations for configuring monitor server. These operation options have now been removed.

713189

If the Cluster Editions is configured with both backup or xp servers, then adding an instance with an xml input file may fail.

713464

Error 1503 may occur when index is created with LAVA based index creation if the number of distict index value is not greater than CONSUMERS number.

713572

A 12319 error followed by a stack trace that includes the modules LeMergeStmtOp::_LeOpClose() and dol_def_update() may be reported when a MERGE statement is using cloned plans.

713638

LIKE predicate optimizer estimations may be incorrect when UTF-8 is used. Optcriteria cr713638 is added to correct this issue.

714330

Add functionality to the LOAD ... WITH LISTONLY=CREATE_SQL command to include the various database options (applied with sp_dboption) and attributes (applied with CREATE and ALTER DATABASE) of the source database, in the generated SQL.

714773

In a multi-engine ASE running on the Unix platform, the tracefile for the spid (created using 'set tracefile < path > for < spid > ') is truncated in pre 15.7, while the tracefile is not populated post 15.7 in process kernel mode, when the spid being traced is affiniated to an engine other than the one which created the tracefile initially (This can happen if the engine that created the tracefile is offline).

715203

DBCC CHECKSTORAGE does not detect LOB compression flag inconsistencies in the TIPSA. With DBCC CHECKTABLE and DBCC CHECKDB these types of inconsistencies were already being reported with message 15960.

715228

Wrong result could happen when referencing a non-correlated scalar aggregate view at the inner side of an OUTER JOIN.

716262

On HPIA64 platforms, ASE may report error 16747, "The 'enable hp posix async i/o' configuration option is only available on the HPUX platform. This option is not valid on the current platform." if 'number of disk tasks' is set as larger than 1 when 'enable hp posix async i/o' is enabled.

716645

During an UPDATE command on a table that has in-row LOB columns defined, ASE may move some of these columns from in-row to off-row or vice-versa if the size of a datarow exceeds configured limits. When such a table has a datarow with an off-row LOB column that is not explicitly updated, ASE may not log this column data correctly. This will result in replication failing if this column is marked as always_replicate.

717026

Improve spinlock efficiency on Solaris SPARC platform.

718658

A signal 11 (SIGSEGV) error occured in kmuxtskGetThreadpool() while running sp_sysmon. This is a timing-related issue that is not easy to reproduce. It occurs only on a server that is running in threaded kernel mode.

718741

Signal 11 in bufdlink() *also reporting ups_nosort_init_prestat() & us_allocate_stat_proc_hdr() * may appear in the error log along with the server shutting down. This can happen when there is a worktable used by an update statistics command that resides on an in-memory tempdb (IMDB)

719212

Applications running against ASE on Solaris platform (SPARC and x64) in threaded mode may experience poor performance (response time and throughput). Analysis of sp_sysmon outputs and MDA tables may show high I/O Busy% and high wait times on disk-related events. Solution requires installation of OS patch for Oracle Bug 16054425 and setting ASE configuration parameter "solaris async i/o mode" to 1. This issue only affects ASE on the Solaris platforms.

719374

When changing the character set to a multibyte character set and running DBCC FIX_TEXT for the table with TEXT columns, the DBCC CHECKTABLE will fail with error 7951, "Data size mismatch while checking a text value".

721270

Immediate PRS creation with a LIKE clause throws a misleading error message that involves a builtin clause, because LIKE is internally converted to a BUILTIN operator.

721403

The status field in sp_helpdb output does not give any indication for temporary databases created with durability of "no_recovery" and normal temporary databases.

721482

sp_configure "o/s file descriptors" may show a larger value than the actual number of file descriptors as indicated in the error log.

721543

When using a resource file with sybmigrate, despite having plenty of room on the repository device specified, sybmigrate does not create the work database at the size specified in the resource file.

721737

When updating a column to have NULL value and an immediate refresh pre-computed result set (materialized view) exists which selects that column, the session will be disconnected unexpectedly and a stack trace that includes the module memmove() will be reported in the error log.

721799

The user usedb_user should not be allowed to create any objects.

721809

ASE at times sends extra TDS DONE packet for ct_cancel CT-Lib call.

721824

When the following is true: (1) the statement cache is on and (2) a dynamic prepared SQL statement containing a abstract plan clause is executed and (3) the same statement is prepared and executed by another ASE session, then the entry in the statement cache that was created by the first execution is not found when the dynamic prepare command is executed in the second session. As a result, a new LWP is created by the second session.

721887

With partitioned tables, some query plans may choose the MERGE UNION ALL operator, rather than Dynamic Partition Elimination.

722058

sybmigrate fails with the error, "Attempt to insert duplicate key row in object 'sysattributes' with unique index 'csysattributes'" at set up stage (sybmigrate -m setup).

722823

Different behaviour for ISNULL on a MAX() or MIN() aggregate of a character column may be observed when statement cache is used with esql.

722856

In an HA environment when a role that contains a role activation predicate is dropped on the primary server the secondary server does not remove the predicate metadata.

722867

On Windows machines having multiple network interfaces i.e. both IPv4 and IPv6, ASE may fail to boot Job Scheduler with error, "JS: Failed to connect on socket" whereas JS Agent log indicates that JA Agent is listening with message, "SYB_JSAGENT waiting for connection".

722898

Under some circumstances, a 4720 error "Cannot truncate table '%.*s' because there are one or more isolation level 0 scans, or REORG command, active on the table." may be reported while a temporray is being dropped. Such temporary table is found to have a dlevel0cnt = 12.

722902

DDLGen generates data partition names instead of index partition names in the index partition clause for a clustered index on an all pages locked table . Also the semantic order of partitions in the index partition clause for both clustered and non clustered indexes is not correct. Also if index partition names are system generated, then they are not generated in the partition spec , when -XPN option is specified

723015

The backupserver error message "3.27.2.1: Invalid RPC sequence at RPC as_cmd." followed by "5.7.2.7: RPC ('as_cmd') execution failed." may be reported when a LOAD DATABASE is executed and the backupserver name "hostname:portnumber" cannot be resolved correctly.

723178

A new configuration option "ENABLE LARGE CHUNK ELC" is added to enable/disable large allocation auto tuning feature in engine local cache.

723226

After changing the owner of a replicated user table while DDL is not setup for replication, RepAgent may replicate DML commands on that table using the wrong owner name.

723259

In rare circumstances, a task may hang when LIKE clause or patindex builtin operator is used on columns which contain LOB data marked as compressed.

723356

A segmentation fault in tally_fetch() after a 249 error may occur during BCP IN due to invalid column default. Previous CR number is 552227 and the fix is under trace flag -T2781. Please turn on the trace flag to check column default data type during table creation time.

723437

A new database option "deallocate first text page", and a new configuration value 2 of table attribute "dealloc_first_txtpg", are provided for tables having TEXT/IMAGE/UNITEXT off-row storage columns, to control whether to deallocate the first text page after updating off-row LOB value from non-NULL to NULL, or whether to allocate a first text page when updating LOB value from NULL to NULL.

723566

The audit option sproc_perms can not be configured with sp_audit.

723588

723602

A 156 error, "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'default'" may be reported when executing ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION to 'default' segment.

723672

An 806 error, "Could not find virtual page for logical page < pagenum > in database < dbname > " may be reported when executing DBCC CHECKTABLE.

723847

SELECT INTO and INSERT SELECTs that use UNION statements terminated by a UNION ALL statement may fail with a signal 11 and stack trace that includes the module tree*GcElement::GcGetVar(). This tends to happen if the table being inserted into contains any identity columns that are not explicitly generated in the UNION ALL query.

723872

If there is an UNIQUE index with IGNORE_DUP_KEY option on a partitioned table with many partitions such as 60, the BCP loading performance of OLD DATA may be much slower than that of NEW DATA. NEW DATA means most rows of it will be loaded into the table. OLD DATA means most rows of it will be ignored because they have been loaded into the table.

724023

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'bufreserve' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'drop_al_dbid' and 'alterdb' may be reported in the error log when an ALTER DATABASE LOG OFF command is executed to shrink this database log space.

724175

The Remote Backup Server name is extended to allow the use of IPV6 hostnames with domain name.

724343

When configuring RepAgent to use a security mechanism, the RepAgent Thread may fail to start and report a 9210 error. Moreover, RepAgent is using the ASE server name instead of the ASE principal name.

724472

In rare circumstances, recreation of in-memory databases during start up of SAP ASE may hang when there are more than one in-memory databases with the same template database. SAP ASE can still be used, but an attempt to use the in-memory databases that are not recreated will result in an error 962, "Database with ID ' < value > ' is not available. Please try again later." being reported.

724593

In some rare cases, a UNION query could return wrong result resulting in truncation.

724603

When executing a JOIN involving a proxy table, and the optimizer chooses GROUPINSERTING for the NESTED LOOP JOIN plan, the ordering information in the query is lost and the result is not ordered as expected.

724815

sp_config_dump stored procedure will now display usage information if invoked as sp_config_dump help or sp_config_dump 'help'.

724959

When a database is loaded, the dump history file does not show any record for it and hence it is not possible to generate the dump sequence for this database.

724990

In 15.x, under the default isolation level (Level 1), DELETEs/UPDATEs involving JOINs and/or correlated SUBQUERY could cause more number of exclusive locks to be acquired even when the qualifying number of rows are much less.

725065

DBCC SERVERLIMITS displays a wrong value for the limit 'Max database device size'.

725140

In some rare cases, running queries involving SQLUDF could lead to stacktrace in cpysqludf().

725195

The monThread MDA table should list all ASE threads, however, on Windows platforms, the ASE clock thread is not listed in this table.

725209

ASE on Windows may report "LAST CHANCE EXCEPTION HANDLER on OS thread id < threadID > ...A SERIOUS UNHANDLED EXCEPTION HAS OCCURRED SERVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE" with kcierrfmt() on the stack during shutdown when the server is forcefully shutdown, for example through CTRL-BREAK.

725315

The VERIFY option for the DUMP and LOAD commands does not give the user any indication of whether errors were found or not. The errors are currently reported only in the backupserver errorlog.

725318

The dataserver gets a segmentation violation when dropping a login while the dataserver configuration for 'number of open databases' is less than the actual number of databases defined in sysdatabases. The segmentation violation is followed by a 905 error, “Unable to allocate a DBTABLE descriptor to open database 'dbname'. Close or drop another database before opening this one, or ask your System Administrator to raise the configuration parameter 'number of open databases'”

725376

Hit error 806 when running shrink database and reorg defrag concurrently.

725608

When resource limits is activated and a maximum transaction elapsed time is set, in CHAINED mode, a transaction is not rolled back after the specified elapsed time limit is exceeded.

725661

The performance of the rollback of a skewed transaction, that is, a transaction that has bursts of activity separated by periods of inactivity, is unnecessarily slow.

725667

Miscellaneous enhancements to the performance of boot time, LOAD DATABASE and LOAD TRAN recovery including better performance in undoing long-running (incomplete) transactions i.e. those that have bursts of activity separated by periods of inactivity.

725669

New feature that reduces the amount of recovery time during LOAD DATABASE at the expense of increasing the time taken by DUMP DATABASE. Data that is changed while DUMP DATABASE is active is included in the dump so that the dump has more up-to-date contents. This is enabled using sp_configure 'optimize dump for faster load', < percentage > . Changed data is included in the database dump when the percentage of database data changed during DUMP DATABASE is more than < percentage > . This defaults to 0 in which no changed data is copied, and there is no reduction in the recovery time of LOAD DATABASE.

If a LIKE predicate is used, then optimizer estimates for keys for a limiting index scan may be incorrect if a VARCHAR variable is used for the pattern match. This is especially true when there are no pattern matching characters used e.g. r.a LIKE "ABC". optcriteria CR731808 can be used to correct the optimizer estimate issue. Command line trace flag 16965 will also enable the fix.

731818

The Backup Server is enhanced to perform consistency checks on All Pages Locked (APL) and Data Only Locked (DOL) data pages during DUMP DATABASE execution. If an error is detected on a page, the page is reread for validation. These checks will be performed if DUMP DATABASE is executed using WITH VERIFY option.

733623

ASE allows configuration parameter 'max online engines' to be set to a value lower than 'number of engines at startup' leading to an incorrect value for the parameter 'max online Q engines'. This can result in incorrect calculations for the 'maximum number of engines' resulting in ASE hitting a SIGSEGV followed by a stack trace involving the module ueisonline().

733750

Timeslices may occur with statistics gathering using hashing.

733752

The estimate for NULLs in the optimizer may be incorrect if hash based statistics gathering is used, when the number of unique values in the column is greater than 65535.

If DBCC DBREBOOT is unsuccessful for some reason, the status in sysdatabases may sometimes incorrectly indicate that a forced shutdown is in progress, even after SAP ASE has been shutdown and rebooted successfully.

734184

In rare occasions, Adaptive Server's internal timer becomes non-operational. Such occurrence is reported to the errorlog with messages like “Warning: Alarm Service for Timer non-operational. If this message generated multiple times, report to support and restart the server (alarminterval=-7001)”

734204

When the configuration parameter 'max network peek depth' is configured to a positive value, ASE will look for an attention up to the specified depth in the pending input on a connection, and if one is found, all input preceding the attention packet as well as the attention packet itself are discarded, the currently executing command is canceled and an attention acknowledgement is sent to the client. When running with the default value 0 of the configuration parameter, ASE looks for an attention only at the start of pending input.

734211

DDLGen can generate an incorrect header message while generating ddl for a load profile. Instead of saying 'DDL for LoadProfile', it can say 'DDL for :user'.

734212

ASE hits SIGNAL 11 (SIGSEGV) when it runs out of spinlocks under heavy CT-Lib calls if 'max cis remote connections' configuration value is DEFAULT (which is 0). Setting 'max cis remote connections' to appropriate value is suggested to avoid reserving high number of spinlocks (upto four times 'number of user connections').

734214

Command line trace flag 16964 is added to turn off the row constructor optimization for range predicates. This optimization may cause an underestimate of the limiting selectivity of an index scan when a range predicate exists on an indexed column followed by limiting predicates on subsequent columns. For example, if an index I(a,b,c) has predicates a > 5 and b=10 and c > 20 then the range predicate on “a” is followed by minor attributes “b” and “c” which also have limiting predicates... then the scan selectivity on the index "I" may be underestimated.

734394

When ASE Server is not in single user mode during sp_downgrade 'prepare', report a warning message to indicate it instead of stopping the validation.

734395

When dropping an encryption key, the 15401 message is reported with malformed values in the message.

734470

When SAP ASE is booted with trace flag 7437 it will not switch from an OAM scan to an allocation page scan when an incorrect page count value in one or more OAM entries is found during boot time recovery and while calculating the free space page counts for a database.

734475

The LogicalReads value in the monProcessActivity and monProcessStatement MDA tables remained unchanged when a long query is executing.

734500

The index page scanning selectivity estimate may be too optimistic for an index, in which a prefix of 0 or more positioning equality predicates (such as r.a = 1 and r.b = 2) is followed by a positioning range predicate such as (r.c > 5) is following by subsequent trailing positioning predicates (such as r.d = 10 and r.e > = 20). The change enabled by the new optcriteria limit_row_constructor will limit the index page scan reduction by at most 50% (in our example it will limit reductions contributed by r.d, r.e).

734617

Adaptive Server 15.7 may execute SELECT queries at isolation level 3 on Data Only Locked scheme tables slower than SAP ASE 15.0.3 or 15.5 if the session executing the SELECT query holds a large number of locks.

734660

The error "Page Verification Error: Page mismatch. Page < page # > contains 0 in page header." could be incorrectly printed in the Backup Server errorlog when executing DUMP DATABASE WITH VERIFY. This error is spurious and can be ignored.

734705

After running sp_reptostandby/sp_setreptable/sp_setrepcol with "use_index" option on compressed in-row LOB columns, dbcc checktable() may report various kinds of index errors.

734716

At times the systabstats empty page count column may get values near to 2^32 (~4294967295) if inserts into a table are rolled back.

734750

srvbuildres optimization fails when specifying '16K' as the logical page size in the resource file for the Adaptive Server.

734800

Backup Server may occasionally report a spurious error when executing a DUMP or LOAD WITH VERIFY[ONLY], as a result of checking a page that is already deallocated. This is more likely to happen when the deallocated page belonged to compressed table.

734866

The builtin asehostname() is now made a grantable builtin.

734897

On a High Availability (HA) System, sp_companion may hang if sp_sysmon is running at the same time.

734899

A 692 error, "Uninitialized logical page < pageno > was read while accessing database ...", may be reported after loading an in-memory database dump from a database where this page was used but was marked as deallocated incorrectly, resulting in this page not being archived in the dump.

734968

Sometimes queries that involve multiple DERIVED TABLEs or VIEWs may return wrong results. The kind of queries that could be affected by this needs the following elements: (1) A DERIVED TABLE with a correlated expression SUBQUERY as one of the DERIVED TABLE’s SELECT list items. (2) Another correlated SUBQUERY in the parent query block which is referencing the expression SUBQUERY result from 1) as the correlated column. (3) Both 1) and 2) are under an IN SUBQUERY of the top query block. 1) and 2) lead ASE query tree to use a worktable for the DERIVED TABLE and 3) puts an EXISTS requirement over a table used by the DERIVED TABLE. The combination causes ASE to miss the EXISTS requirement on the table when generating a plan and leads to duplicate rows.

734983

Added new option SET PLAN SHARED ON and server wide param 'abstract plan sharing'. It enables Abstract Plan sharing between different users. Tables in the query with shared abstract plan must be explicitly prefixed with the owner name or belong to the DBO user.

735256

Sometimes an insert query with union view or derived table with union in which tables have check constraint, could cause a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) and a stacktrace in errorlog involving the function NormalizeScalar().

735270

For query SELECTing multiple count aggregates, wrong result could happen when the final plan uses two phase aggregates. One of the count aggregates could come from an AVG(). It is more likely to happen when the two phase aggregate plan is also a parallel plan, or when the query is also a GROUPBY query with a HAVING clause equal-comparing two of the count aggregates.

735292

An ASE task making a remote procedure call to a server with server option 'net password encryption' set to true and 'cis_rpc_handling' disabled can go to sleep indefinitely and the client appears to be hung.

735327

A 692 error, "Uninitialized logical page '24' was read while accessing object '2' in database ' < dbid > '. Please contact Sybase Technical Support." may be reported when a 12.5.4 ASE database dump that was made with a 15.7 ESD#4.2 Backup Server is loaded back in a 12.5.4 ASE.

735346

ALTER TABLE on a data compressed table may lead to heap memory (CPINFO pool) corruption. ASE stacktraces may be seen involving the functions kbfalloc() and cpinfo_allocbufs().

735431

735727

When updating an in-row LOB datum to NULL, the LTL generated for the update of the datum wrongly includes the LTL qualifier 'tpinit' instead of the qualifier 'zerolen'. This does not cause data corruption, or interruption of replication. Nevertheless, according to the LTL specification, the qualifier 'zerolen' must be used.

735812

The unreserved space reported by either the stored procedure sp_helpdb or the builtin curunreservedpgs() could be wrong after executing any of the stored procedures sp_addsegment, sp_extendsegment or sp_dropsegment.

735868

This implies that there are entries missing. Run tablealloc utility with the FIX option on the table with the inaccurate OAM counts." may be reported by DBCC TEXTALLOC and FULL option after inserting data with BCP into a table that has LOB columns and the option 'lob_compression' is enabled in the target database.

736019

When using hash based statistics collection and over 65535 unique values exist in the column then it is possible that the summary statistics (such as density) may be slightly inaccurate. If one looks at the optdiag output for the column and determines that a range cell is used for the first cell even though only one domain value can fit into the cell, then it is possible for summary statistics inaccuracies. It is possible, but unlikely, that query plans could be adversely affected.

736079

A cheaper plan containing the merge_union_all operator may be skipped in favor of a more expensive plan using a sort operator on top of an append_union_all.

736268

A login account that has a login-specific password expiration setting may have the global password expiration setting applied to it if the server encounters a 1204 (out of locks) error during the login attempt.

736426

The Java Compile Suite layer in Adaptive Server that is responsible for UDF/ADT support and SQLJ queries execution towards the target JavaVM has been enhanced to allow the release of intermediate allocated Java objects. This was causing the JavaVM heap memory allocation to be exhausted under a heavy load application environment.

736428

After downgrading from ASE 15.7 to ASE 15.5GA, when booting the ASE 15.5GA server, a segmentation fault may be encountered during startup while attempting to reconcile the downgraded configuration options.

736699

If there are significant concurrent activities which pin buffer cache pages in the named tempdb cache (or default data cache) then it is possible that the server could appear to hang due to lack of buffer cache. The kind of activity that could lead to this state is "hash based statistics gathering", "sorts", "query plans using hash operators".

736754

The error 2550, "Missing segment in sysusages segmap", will be unnecessarily reported by DBCC CHECKCATALOG if a database has a fragment with a segmap equal to 0.

A segmentation violation occurs when sp_listener starts an SSL listener where no SSL listeners had been started previously.

753525

SAP ASE running on Unix/Linux platforms only prints the top 25 stack frames in a stack overflow stacktrace report which could mask the root cause and also provide insufficient diagnostics when a stack overflow is caused by a recursive function. If the stack overflow backout code uses too much stack, the backout process can cause stack guard word corruption resulting in server shutdown. This CR removes the limitation on number of frames in the stacktrace and if the stack overflow backout code use of the stack reaches within 4K bytes of the stack boundary, it then initiates forcible termination of the task to prevent stack guardword corruption. The default value of 'stack guard size' is increased by 4K bytes to retain earlier level of stack availability. Traceflag 3687 provides a stacktrace when a transaction is aborted due to insufficient stack space that can provide additional diagnostics on stack usage by the query. Traceflag 3686 disables this change. This change is not applicable to the Microsoft Windows platforms.
