528779

DBCC CHECKSTORAGE records information in dbccdb that is not used in most cases. This change reduces the number of inserts by skipping faults for which an exclusion is defined with sp_dbcc_exclusions and skipping inserts in dbcc_counters. The pre-fix behavior can be enabled using exec sp_dbcc_updateconfig null, "enable excluded faults inserts", '1' and exec sp_dbcc_updateconfig null, "enable dbcc_counter inserts", '1'

530267

Creating an index using the "with sorted_data" option on a partitioned table where the data is not actually sorted sometimes completes without error but creates a corrupt index with missing entries.

531492

When the configuration parameter 'max concurrently recovered db' is active it is possible that during parallel recovery ASE tries to online an archive database before the scratch database this archive database is bound had a chance to come online, causing the recovery of the archive database to fail.

533757

Added support to configure, at database level, the threshold used for SQL statement replication.

543705

On Windows, if an ASE task has been using java and subsequently encounters a stack overflow, the stack overflow is not correctly cleaned up and renders the java system non-operational.

543817

Monserver reports events lost in monserver errorlog after upgrading to 15.0.2 ESD#2.

543973

When statement cache is turned on, a query that meets the following conditions: 1 > union 2) subquery on one side of the union, 3) derived table expression under subquery, 4) there are local variables in derived table expression, 5) there are builtin functions in derived table expression, may cause stack trace to happen in LeEvRun().

544182

Stored procedure creating tables with materialized computed columns and inserting data into those tables may return unexpected errors like error 515 "Attempt to update or insert row failed because resultant row of size larger than the maximum size allowed for this table." This problem may happen only if the procedure requires renormalization because some objects referenced by it were dropped and recreated.

544183

Stored procedure may fail with errorlog reporting modules:pre__substitute_fi_cpc,pre__replace_cpc, s_getTreeOrPlan,open_user_table,open__byname,parse_name. This may happen if procedure creates a table with computed column.

544228

jConnect and Data Drivers are unable to login to ASE 15.0.2 with encrypted logins if the ASE password has expired.

544256

On some platforms a stack trace in n3__make_jsig() may result when a sqlj procedure is created with more than the allowable number of parameters and there is a matching java function intsalled on the server.

544360

A large statement that is over 16k and contains a lot of white spaces may not be cached in the statement cache.

544485

Subqueries that join with a column from a "distinct" view or derived table will not mark the joining predicate as a sargable. This could result in a cartesian product scan rather than an index lookup.

544748

The message "closetable: table already closed for sdes < value > " may be reported in the error log together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'pg_allocate' and 'pg_allocoam' after an 1105 error is reported during page allocation.

544818

Wrong result (missing rows with NULL values) could happen for sybase extended column groupby query (i.e. SELECT more columns than the Group By list and aggregate) when one of the joining view/derived table has DISTINCT.

544845

When statement cache and literal autoparam are enabled, a query with intensive numeric computation may cause error 3624 "Truncation error occurred" to be raised.

544992

DBCC CHECKSTORAGE reports "Msg 15914, 'Failed to bind dbcc named cache < cache name > to the scan workspace < workspace name > .'" if dbcc named cache name contains a space character.

545059

When merge join is disabled, do not include the equi-join columns in the interesting orderings. The optimizer places eagerly Sort operators on the interesting orderings and keeps or discards them based on cost. Although a Sort could also enhance the buffer cache behavior of nested loops join, this comes with some risk due to the substantial cost of sorting and to its blocking nature, specifically when the data volume estimation is wrong (as when costing is based on out of date histograms, magic numbers, etc.). The fix is disabled by trace flag 15338.

545119

This fixes an issue where server is reporting an error (named cache is configured too small for current demands state 3. Transaction progress may cease) too early.

545137

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'ssql_update_recompile_info' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 's_getTreeOrPlan' and 'tdsrecv__dynexec' may be reported in the error log and could bring the server down if the configuration options "STATEMENT CACHE SIZE", "ENABLE MONITORING" and "ENABLE STMT CACHE MONITORING" are all enabled and a client application executed a dynamic sql statement with the option "DYNAMIC PREPARE" active and the internal lightweight procedure for the statement had to be recompiled (for example due to a schema change).

545162

A large T-SQL unsigned bigint value is incorrectly assigned to a BigInteger Java datatype. For example assiging the value 18446744073709551615 to a BigInteger field in Java will result in a value of -1 being stored in the Java field.

545180

Under missing/limited statistics, optimizer might favor a store index (reformatting) plan for a nested loop join even though there is no sarg on the store index child scan and there already exists an index whose keys match the equijoin columns. For most time, based on actual data distributtion, the existing index scan plan would be better.

545181

A 1129 error may be reported "The requested update to the OAM for object < value > , dbid < value > , index < value > , oam page < value > , would cause a negative page count ... Contact your System Admin." in the error log mistakenly when multiple sessions import data in the same table concurrently through the bulk copy utility.

545202

If DDL replication is on and we are execute a CREATE SCHEMA which has create views and this CREATE SCHEMA is not in a store procedure could cause 701 errors.

545379

In 12.5.x, the optimizer was not attempting to place reformatting over a table which had an index forced in the FROM clause. The 15.x optimizer did not have this limitation and was always placing and costing StoreIndex (the 15.x operator which implements reformatting) unless a full Abstract Plan was precluding it. When costing is not accurate, for instance due to data skew or to magic numbers based costing when there are no statistics, this could lead to suboptimal plans which were not generated in 12.5.x, hence to performance regressions. This fix re-instate in 15.x the legacy 12.5.x behavior.

545413

DUMP DATABASE/TRAN with compression may fail with an error, "Length of compressed buffer is greater than the original buffer length".

545418

Loading a Java class with a very large value for a static final defined string can result in a message "infected with 11" with the modules "jvm_GetClassName" and "DBClassFileGetClassName", being printed in the ASE errorlog.

545444

Under rare circumstances an ASE system running on a 64 bits Windows Server with a high rate of DML commands executed may result in some data not be written to disk.

545521

For a query that is executed using the clustered index but involves no partitioned table and parallel scan, the value of the UsedCount column of monOpenObjectActivity for IndexID = 1 is not incremented.

545581

Wrong results could be returned when a query using a GROUP BY clause is executed, the datatype of the grouping columns is VARCHAR and the data for those columns contains NULL values and empty strings having only white spaces like ' '

545585

Unnecessary sort nodes were added to the query plan, which provided no benefits. Normally sort nodes would provide benefits such as orderings for merge join/ORDER BY/GROUP BY, or buffer manager optimization (i.e. better cache hits on an ordered join attribute). This error could occur when there is a combination of multiple covered and non-covered index scans within a query plan. Normally, it occurs in cases when the sorts are very small, so the error is not noticible, since it only involves the estimate of the CPU component. If the sort volume was large, then it would have overwhelmed the incorrect CPU estimate, and the sort would have been eliminated. However, if the input volume estimate for the sort is incorrect, due to missing statistics, and this volume is actually very large, then the addition of the sort operator could result in a noticible performance regression.

545604

Avoid frequent flushing log of index shrink for tables in the tempdb.

545606

This fix keeps the connection level default AP dump/mode active when changing the database. This also makes AP capture more versatile. It is documented that the connection level AP dump/load is disabled when a USE < database > statement is issued, to avoid the tentative usage of an absent user defined AP group. However, when the standard in/out default AP groups are used, there is no reason to disable the connection level dump/load - since these groups are present in all database.

545653

The tendency to add expensive sort nodes, solely to break up a nested loop join order has been reduced. This occurs when there are numerous tables in the FROM list, and the optimizer added a sort to break up the join order, so that there is more buffer manager cache available for each side of the sort, that in turn would reduce PIO requirements of the query overall.

545662

Under rare conditions a query on the monOpenObjectActivity MDA table may result in a signal 11 and server crash.

545754

Application Tracing does not trace actual and estimated I/O statistics when "allow resource limits" configuration parameter is enabled.

545758

Added the display back of "-s" option in the user message when users enable "-s" (sorted) option.

545771

For DISTINCT query with multiple table join, a lower costing plan with a top DISTINCT operator might be ignored by optimizer.

545773

Under some circumstances, SybMigrate may not use the "with sorted_data" option when creating clustered indexes when it could safely do so.

545900

Replication Agent may report the error 9205, state 0, after a cross database transaction happened between two databases and the table or the database is configured to use sql statement replication.

545960

isnull() builtin on character data could return blank padded data while returning values substituted for nulls

546047

Executing a query involving IN clause, some builtin and OR predicate may hit SEGV and stack trace in the module of 'LeEvals::LeEvRun()' and 'LeOrScanContext::setOrVtuple' if the query plan chosen has OrScan in it.

546075

The message "process infected with signal 11" in the module 'des_rekeep' may be reported in the error log together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'vu_getviewdefn', 's_reinstallProcTree' and 'proc__linktopss' when two concurrent sessions access a VIEW whose query tree needs be redefined by ASE.

546085

In cases where basic_optimization is used, and the histogram on a column has been explicitly deleted by the delete statistics command, there is a possibility of a stack trace if multi-attribute densities exist with that leading column. This could happen if a multi-attribute index exists, and the histogram on the leading column of that index is explicitly deleted.

546125

A cursor on an APL table in 12.5 prefers a unique index rule based over any non-unique index or table scan. In 15.0 the unique index is only used rule based if a FOR UPDATE clause was specified. The 12.5 unique index rules are now supported for 15.0

546127

< permission_name > is allowed to be entered as first argument to sp_helprotect where as the syntax of sp_helprotect is: sp_helprotect [name [, username [, "grant" [,"none"|"granted"|"enabled"|role_name [,permission_name]]]]]

546179

Wrong result might happen for outerjoin query with a MATCHNULL equijoin WHERE clause.

546400

select @@dbts returns incorrect value on ibmplinux.

546419

On ASE running on the Windows platform, attempted java network connection may fail with "java.io.IOException: Unable to establish loopback connection"

546651

SET PROXY executed in the procedure using deferred compilation will not have its scope limited only to the current procedure execution but for the whole session.

546712

If sp_setreplicate is run to turn off replication on a table previously configured to use SQL statement replication, this information is not removed from the system table sysattributues.

546730

Error 124 raised when 'set statement_cache on' or 'set literal_autoparam on' is the only statement in a stored procedure.

546737

If sort nodes break up a chain of nested loop join operators, in which some of the respective index/table scans involve an MRU strategy, and there does not appear to be a reason for the sort node, then it may be caused a buffer manager optimization that did not take into account the MRU strategy when estimating buffer cache used by the respective operators. This change will tend to reduce the usage of sort nodes to break up a chain of nested loop operators

546883

On HP platform, disabling network IO for Java still allows some network related Java calls to be executed. This is only seen with the dataserver binary, not the diagserver binary.

547350

Explicit conversion from 1.0 to unichar(1) returns wrong result and no error raised.

547572

This will result in ASE shutting down itself.

547839

The ASE/PCI dispatching system on Windows randomly reports various synchronisation failures, which may include: PCI(T0): ERROR: pci_wakeup; Unable to wakeup slot: 00, sema: 25DCAA74- > (0), value: 0 and usually ends with: PCI(T0): ASE_PCI: PCI Launcher Boss thread died. This is a FATAL ERROR (errno = -1) and then usually a stack trace. After this, no java operations work although other ASE operations may continue normally.

547925

If the ASE license has expired, silent install throws java.lang.IllegalStateException.

548000

UPDATE and DELETE queries that contain correlated existence subqueries, such as: update tab1 set col1 = 5 where exists (select 1 from tab2 where tab2.col2 = tab1.col2) may sometimes be executed in deferred update mode when it is possible to use direct update mode, resulting in a performance regression.

548188

A 7139 error, "Insert to a TEXT/IMAGE column from a non TEXT/IMAGE field which involves internal worktable (eg. orderby, groupby) processing is not supported. Rewrite your query to avoid conversion from non TEXT/IMAGE datatype to TEXT/IMAGE datatype." maybe be reported when executing a query involving an explicit NULL value being converted to TEXT/IMAGE datatype.

With statement cache enabled, it may be possible for the statement immediately after a while loop that has just hit a break condition to not execute successfully - it only occurs if the sql is contained within a single batch.

549741

When the global password complexity option 'min alpha in password' is set to -1, the random password generated through the password_random() built-in contains alphabetic characters.

549902

When statement cache is on, literal autoparam is on, and the server's default character set is either eucksc, sjis, eucgb, big5 or cp936, a query that contains TAB character before a select may cause incorrect select query to be cached, which may lead to syntax error if such query is recompiled.

552574

Improve query tree generation for queries with huge number of OR predicates.

552583

Query compiled in the deferred mode may fail if it references view with java UDF. Stack trace logged in the errorlog will show modules vu_colnames,colname_driver, col_open_range

552736

Wrong result could happen for query with the conditions: 1. an equijoin join predicate between table1's col1 and table2's col2 (table1.col1=table2.col2), and 2. another equijoin predicate between one of the above joining columns and an expression involving only column(s) which are also equijoined to the other table's column(s), such as table1.col1=isnull(table1.col1,table1.col1), and 3. a store_index (reformatting) plan is chosen for the nljoin inner side between those two tables.

552795

Flattened "EXISTS" subqueries may use a reformatting strategy on the inner block's tables. When the store_index is created, duplicates were not being removed. This can be a significant performance issue for correlated subqueries that are theta-joined AND there are additional predicates that are not used to position on the reformatted table. The following query is an example: delete outer FROM outer WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM inner WHERE DATEDIFF(year, innter.ValDate, outer.ValDate) = 0 AND DATEDIFF(month, inner.ValDate, outer.ValDate) = 0 AND outer.ValDate < inner.ValDate ) Note that the outer and inner tables are theta-joined (outer.ValDate < inner.ValDate). And that the DATEDIFF builtins must be evaluated after rows are qualified by the theta-join.

553566

Inserting into temporary worktables that were created explicitly or implicitly raises error 233 when the projection columns from which the nullability of worktable columns were inherited has isnull() builtin function.

553780

554062

When an extended column aggregate is used in a view, then the query may return no results. An extended column aggregate is a non-ANSI sql feature that Sybase introduced, which allow a column to be placed into the select list of a GROUP BY aggregate, which is not included in an aggregate expression nor is it in the GROUP BY list. The processing of the view silently fails in this case and returns no results. CREATE TABLE PROB_TABLE ( A int NOT NULL, B int NOT NULL ) go insert into PROB_TABLE values (1,2) go CREATE VIEW PROB_VIEW1 AS SELECT PT.A as PT_A, PT.B as PT_B FROM PROB_TABLE PT go -- note the extended column aggregate in PROB_VIEW2 CREATE VIEW PROB_VIEW2 AS SELECT PT_A FROM PROB_VIEW1 GROUP BY PT_B go -- the following returns no results and silently fails select * from PROB_VIEW2 go
