2087878 - Targeted CR List for ASE 15.0.2 IR

CR number

Description

76643

The message "nrpacket: recv, Connection timed out" does not include spid.

123457

1.sso_role is not able to perform all the activities of a sa_role in the 3 stored procedures.(sp_addremotelogin,sp_dropremotelogin,sp_modifylogin) 2.The error message printed due to an absense of appropiate role is also ambiguous.

126546

Stored procedures using temporary tables created outisde of the procedure are renormalized each time a temporary table referenced by the procedure gets dropped and recreated. For heavily loaded systems it may be a reason for sysprocedures contention. Command line trace flag -T299 may be used to improve the performance : stored procedures will no longer be renormalized automatically but only if a runtime layout of the temporaray table does not match the layout of the table used to compile the stored procedure. Trace 299 should be used as a command line option.

129030

When auditing cmdtext, use of sp_addlogin and sp_password result in cleartext passwords in the sybsecurity sysaudits extrainfo column. Any sso_role can see these, therefore the information is not secure.

142181

Changing srvnetname entry in sysservers for the XP Server has no effect. ASE Ignores srvnetname when launching the XP server and always defaults to < servername > _XP (uppercase).

192840

Sybase Central ASE Plug-in does not display row count and space usage information for each individual table under Tables folder.

207753

A 18033 error, "You cannot drop user because user 'sa' owns thresholds in database, may be reported, when a dbo tries to drop an added user 'sa' of a mixed-log-date database.

210767

In ASE error log $SYBASE environnement variable is not logged at startup.

218836

Calling attrib_notify after creating database for load and before loading it may cause error 930 being raised.

222818

The stored procedure sp_helpdb incorrectly shows the database status as being "offline, online for standby_access" when the database had been brought online in standby access mode but it has subsequently had one or more transaction logs loaded into it.

223325

sp_changedbowner does not change the owner (suid) of all thresholds that are associated with a database at the same time it changes the owner of the database.

229960

When an All Pages Locking table that has a non-unique clustered index with the option "ignore duplicate rows" set is converted to a Data Only Locking table, ASE does not incorrectly remove this option from Sysindexes despite having set on the option "allow duplicate rows". This results in incorrect SP_HELP output.

232748

Add a new command SET SWITCH to provide a mechanims for setting local and serverwide switches to control Adaptive Server Enterprise behavior. Prior to this, DBCC TRACEON() was the only command which could be used for this. The new command provides more flexibility and functionality over the DBCC interface. For example it prevents users from accidently enabling the wrong switch.

233080

The utilities charset and langinstall do not function with Adaptive Server Enterprise when LDAP and/or SSL are configured.

234103

The Adaptive Server Enterprise 'perfmon' system integration of Sybase monitor counters into Windows performance monitor now takes account of dynamic changes to ASE system memory configuration

241421

When doing aggregation on a bit column and no rows qualify, the result is a random number instead of a 0.

259213

Add support in Connect dialog for both ASE Plug-in and Interactive SQL to connect to SSL-enabled ASEs. ASE Plug-in can also configure a local ASE to use SSL. (Note SSL is a licensed feature.)

261081

Sybase counters do not appear in Windows Performance Monitor if running in a terminal server session

264297

Implement runtime compilation for stored procedure statements referencing variables or temporary tables.

265827

Show indexes, primary keys and unique constraints in one Indexes folder.

268837

Warning message: "Connecting to a Replication Server that supports a lower LTL version. Features that are not supported by the lower LTL version may cause the RepAgent to shutdown. Set the 'skip unsupported features' configuration option to prevent shutdown." will not be printed when RepAgent configuration parameter 'skip unsupported features' is set to true.

270065

When an index is created in parallel using the CREATE INDEX command together with the option "with statistics using 0 values", new distribution/histogram statistics of default steps will be written/overwritten to the system catalog.

273300

When one session executes stored procedure opening a cursor the second session may perform a drop of an index used by open cursor statement. As a result the execution of the stored procedure by the first session fails with the error 8419: "Could not find index descriptor for objid ..., indid ... in dbid ...." This is incorrect because the stored procedure should detect schema change caused by index drop and perform the recompilation.

275868

This feature introduces a new table sysoptions and a new stored procedure sp_options. Sysoptions holds data representing optimizer related session level options settings for all sessions and sp_options is a wrapper over sysoptions. Schema for sysoptions is: Name Type Attributes Description spid int Process id name varchar (100) Name of the option category varchar (100) Category to which the option belongs. currentsetting varchar (100) NULL Current setting of the option. defaultsetting varchar (100) NULL Default setting of the option. scope int Bitmap representing scope of option. Syntax of sp_options is: sp_options [[show|help [, < option_name > | < category_name > |null [, dflt|non_dflt|null [, < spid > ] ] ] ]] For more details on sysoptions and sp_options please consult user documentation.

277410

A new command SET SWITCH is introduced to provide a mechanism to (un)set local traceflags.

277525

ASE will allow modulo arithmetic on floating point and numeric values.

278300

If a database is marked "suspect", DROP DATABASE will fail. To drop the database successfully, the user must use dbcc dbrepair().

286421

The fix displays percentage completion for dbcc gam().

288099

ASE optimizer is not able to perform statistics interpolation for char and varchar datatypes when server's default sort order is different from binary. As consequence some queries may be executed using suboptimal plans.

288768

User having permission to execute sp_modifystats can run the SP on any table without checking the permissions of executing user on the target table

288788

Enhanced sp_who output to include the name of the temporary database used by the spid.

291202

New feature: A configuration option 'start xp server during boot' has been added. This option lets user to select whether XP server to be started while booting Adaptive server.

294137

Configuring default network packet size greater than 65535 can cause TDS protocol connections.

294595

The booting server does not respect the -d < master_device_name > and -r < master_mirror_name > names provided on the command line. Instead, it uses its own internally stored names.

297073

Feature request for a way to manually set/update a timestamp value (more or less according the way < identity insert > is implemented. This would be used in warm-standby replication environments, where transactions are forwarded by RepServer as SQL-statements. Due to the current implementation of timestamp, this will lead to differences in the timestamp values between the primary side and the secondary.

297753

A new option, 'with dbid = < number > ' has been added to 'CREATE DATABASE' command, to allow the database administrator to specify database id when creating a new database.

298088

Add Resource Limits feature in ASEPlugin.

300579

There are limited password complexity checks when a new password is specified or a password is changed. The password expiration warning interval is not configurable. A new login created is allowed to operate with the created password.

310018

DBCC LOGTRANSFER with a context eauql to 100 does not display to the client columns xold_ts and xnew_ts for data modification log records on tables marked for replication.

314463

In rare circumstances error 5854 "Configuration Error: Cannot write out file ' < file name > ' due to system error ' < system error message > '" could be unable to report correctly the file name of the configuration file specifying the message "Invalid pointer param number 2, pointer value 0x00000000" instead of the default configuration file name.

317300

The SP_TEMPDB SHOW, DB command will display the list of all user created temporary databases also. The SP_TEMPDB WHO, < DB_name > will also display application name through which Login is associated with the mentioned < DB_name > .

319671

The error 8204 is raised when an invalid system table id ( < 100) is passed to the built-in function object_name().

319885

The execution of the DBCC CHECKALLOC, DBCC TABLEALLOC, DBCC TEXTALLOC and DBCC INDEXALLOC commands with the FIX option may result in removing OAM entries that show 0 pages allocated and 0 pages used. Similarly the OAM chain may be extended should there be a need for this.

320421

The message "CT-LIBRARY error: ct_results(): protocol specific layer: external error: There is a tds protocol error. An invalid datatype was received." is raised when executing a SELECT on a view containing a UNION clause with SELECT's having a NULL, like SELECT col=NULL, on each side of the UNION.

326741

Feature Request: When possible, optimizer should consider row count limits, set using "set rowcount", in costing

328730

The stored procedures SP_SYSMON and SP_MONITORCONFIG may display incorrect values for the "Active" and "Max Ever Used Since Boot" fields for "Open Object Usage", "Open Index Usage" and other parameter when executed in a multi-engine ASE environment.

329300

sp_autoformat now also formats datatypes integer, numeric, money, date/time, float/real, and also formats user-defined datatypes and NULL values correctly.

331477

The message "current process infected with 11 in ns__exec_stmt" is printed in the errorlog together with a stacktrace containing the modules 'call_ns_exec', 'ns_execute' and 'ns__exec_stmt' when using internal JDBC with the CallableStatement.setNull() methode passing in a java.sql.Types.INTEGER datatype as second param.

336265

SQL text capture may be turned off in the ASE when the Monitor Server terminates. This will cause collection of data for the monProcessSQLText and monSysSQLText MDA tables to stop.

337672

The -I switch for srvbuild, srvbuildres and sqlloc on Unix platforms does not work and the interfaces file in the default location is always used.

339767

Progress message for sp_dbcc_deletehistory should be changed because the current message is inconsistent with the behavior.

340399

New feature: "top n" clause for select, update, delete.

340568

A 5888 configuration error, " Two Named Caches with the 'cache status' defined as 'default data cache' is not allowed" may be reported in case of case-insensitive server during boot or while verifying the entries of a configuration file using the sp_configure.

341746

A network endpoint (entry in interfaces file) can have multiple server names (or alias'es). There is an consistany while printing server name in some of error messages. This fix is to resolve so that server name displayed in the error message is always the one used by user in his commands.

341787

Add 'cis connect timeout' feature. The OCS fix 430150 checked in to Conn 15.0 ESD #7 is needed for the timeout to work correctly. Traceflag 11234 has been added to allow the behaviour of ignoring connection failures during compile-time.

342655

Feature Request: Provide a mechanism to force the full allocation of a mirror device on file systems. This is to prevent problems associated with Unix sparse / lazy file allocation. A new "clear = TRUE" option has been added to the disk mirror command to address this.

346066

The error 2601, 'Attempt to insert duplicate key' or 1205, '...encountered a deadlock situation. ...' can be raised when the stored procedure sp_addlogin is executed concurrently from different sessions.

346898

The monIOQueue monitoring table incorrectly assigned IOs by the system to the 'User Data' row since the table only split IOs by 'User Data' or 'User Log'. System IOs are now assigned to 'System'

347811

The 'ascinserts' property of a table, that earlier used to be set by a call to dbcc tune(), can now be set via stored procedure 'sp_chgattribute'.

348123

Mount/Umount Database improvements

348971

When the SELECT * is expanded while storing the text of a stored procedure, identifiers consisting of multiple parts will be stored in syscomments using bracketed identifiers. For example a columnname like < colname_part1 part2 > is stored like [colname_part1 part2]. The same will happen for table-names consisting of multiple parts.

349480

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'oj_syboj_markojonclause' may be reported in the error log when executing a SELECT with invalid cyclic outerjoin.

353066

The fix for CR 274800 and CR 287252 was incomplete. As a result an isolation level 0 query involving TEXT/IMAGE data, could hang or fail with the message 'illegal TDS token received'.

353309

When a new remote server is added with sp_addserver, it will be created with the status field set to 'no timeouts' as this can help RPC performance in some circumstances. Existing remote servers in the sysservers table will not be changed.

354763

Improper parameter setup for messagess 6503/6506/6507/6516/6519/6530/6542 in mount.c

357220

Query using a view with big number of aggregates may be executed slowly if more than one worktable is necessary to resolve aggregates from the view.

358087

The default value of configuration parameter 'dtm detach timeout period' has been modified to 5 minutes. Any external transaction such as XA transaction will be rolled back, if in detached state, for more than 5 minutes. A value of 0 will disable external transaction timeout.

360519

ASE server was locking login account when number of unsuccessful login attempts reached value of "maximum failed logins". This CR, per customer request, is to generate an audit record when this event occurs.

360954

When executing system procedures that have non-ANSI comparisons such as "if @var = NULL", some procedures may show unexpected behaviour if 'ansinull' is set 'on' in the session from which the procedures are executed.

363392

Performance Improvements in DDLGen for Users, Groups and Roles. Calls to sp_helprotect have been removed which were the bottleneck in performance.

363774

sp_engine can_offline reports output only for engines which cannot be brought offline due to outstanding 'ct-lib or java sockets or Q' connections.

363894

Backupserver API compression module (with the syntax "compress:: < compression-level > ::" allows user to specify the same file name for multiple stripes. The resulting dump is not loadable. The new native compression syntax in 12.5.2 (the "with compression = " clause) and higher does not have this problem.

365499

sp_dbcc_summaryreport displays milliseconds in the end time but not in the start time

365704

Provide a new T-SQL built-in, INDEX_NAME(), to get the name of an index, given the ID of the index and the IDs of the database and the object on which it is defined. A number of MDA tables return the database ID, object ID and index ID trio. This built-in would simplify the process of analysing these MDA tables for index usage.

365822

Occasionally, the message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'omni_adjust_eops' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'omni_opt_select' and 'omni_code_gen_estep' may be reported in the error log if there is an invalid subtraction between two DATETIME columns with some subqueries involved

CIS: Support SELECT INTO EXISTING for the tables with the same datatypes but smaller column length from the source column

369417

1 > In stored procedure 'modifylogin' , a new value 'kerberos' for option 'authenticate with', is added.

The syslogins status bit 0x1 is not set for short passwords.

372719

New feature request to enable the definition of a global login trigger to be executed by every user at login time, before the personal login script is fired.

Specify owner.objectname or use sp_help to check whether the object exists (sp_help may produce lots of output)" maybe be raised when executing a stored procedure that creates inside that object and it has been executed and recompiled concurrently by several sessions. Under the same circumstances sometimes a 3703 error is reported following by one or several 216 errors and resulting in the termination of the session executing that stored procedure.

375706

A user account set to use LDAP authentication exclusively using 'sp_modifylogin loginname, "authenticate with", LDAP' fails over to ASE syslogins authentication when "enable ldap user auth" = 1 and either the password is wrong, or the LDAP server is unavailable.

375795

When dropping a role, any external login mappings it might have, are left orphan in sysattributes.

375883

The error msg 11294 "The remote server < server name > class < class id > is not supported by UPDATE STATISTICS in import mode..." should be displayed with Level 10 instead of 16 severity.

375984

Query assigning local variable may return incorrect result if the same local variable is used in the constant expression being a part of OR clause. An example of such statement would be : select @var = value from tab where (@var is NULL and col = value ) OR (expression)

376303

sp_monitorconfig 'permission cache entries' reports an active value greater than the configured value on the system. This misreporting occurs even on single engine cases without runtime re-configuration of permission cache entries.

376482

The stored procedure sp_tables does not show any user table but those owned by DBO if the executor has SA role but it is not the SA user.

377307

Update ASE Plug-in to Sybase Central 4.3 and to co-exist with other Sybase Central Plug-ins under Sybase Central 4.3.

377473

There are 3 issues with the conments list below: 1. The comment at the beginning of sp_helptext is wrong. It states that 18406 is a problem with "allow select on syscomments.text". However, 18406 is raise when sp_hidetext was run for the object NOT when "allow select on syscomments.text" is set to 0. Note that the quoted text is also incorrect; there is no "allow" in the configuration argument. 2. There is a next comment: /* ** If the configuration parameter 'allow select on syscomments.text' is set to ** 0, then the user can use sp_helptext ONLY in the following cases ** ** 1. if the user has sa_role ** 2. if the object is a system stored procedure ** 3. if the object is owned by the user ** */ It should include dbo as well because dbo or dbo alias could also run sp_helptext. 3. The text for error 18180 says: "Configuration Parameter 'allow select on syscomments.text' is set to 0. Only the object owner or user with sa_role can run sp_helptext on this object." Again there should be no "allow" in the parameter name and the message should includde dbo as well.

377625

Message 141, 'A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.' is raised when the result of derived table expression is assigned to a local variable. With fix the behavior is changed and it's now allowed to do so.

sp_sysmon Disk I/O section uses udalloc_calls to capture counts of I/O requests, which includes both synchronous and asynchronous I/O requests. However, when we count completed I/Os, we do it using total_dpoll_completed_aios, thus only counting asynchronous completes. This is documented in CR 144252. Customer is requesting that we change sysmon to either include both synchronous and asynch completes in the Completed output, or that we break them out into a section for synchronous and a section or asynch I/Os so we get a more accurate read on disk activity. Customer is running Adaptive Server Enterprise/12.5.3/EBF 12417 ONE-OFF ESD#1/P/HP9000-879/HP-UX 11.0/ase1253/1899/64-bit/FBO/Tue Feb 22 19:21:47 2005 .

426942

Clustered indices for APL tables were being costed more expensively than non-clustered index scans when sargs were being applied to data rows. For the case of non-clustered indices, the benefit of sargs being evaluated in the access layer was costed correctly, but this was not the case for clustered indices. The end result was that a clustered index scan was not usually chosen when strong filtering predicates were applied after a weak limiting scan. The end result is that for APL tables a slower non-clustered index scan could be chosen over a faster clustered index scan.

440030

When complex password policy option "disallow simple passwords" is set, ASE checks for login name contained in the password are case sensitive. With this fix, ASE will do a case insensitive comparision to avoid the use of login name with mixed upper and lower case letters in the password.

440031

When complex password policy options are set using sp_passwordpolicy, installmaster may fail with 9578, 17720 and 17231 error messages.

440052

ASE localization files are moved from $SYBASE/locales/{language}/{charset} directory to $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/locales/{language}/{charset} directory in ASE 15.0.2 release.

440127

When an external login is mapped to an ASE login with a different name, if the external login password is changed, it should be updated in the mapped login if there is a one-to-one relation, but this is not happenening.

440175

LDAP or PAM logins that were added using ASE older than 12.5.4 will not allow external authentications to failover to ASE logins, if authenticated by ASE 12.5.4 or later

440204

There is no password related audit option.

440232

In 12.5.4, ASE Plug-in failed to re-open "Add Trigger (Template)", after a trigger has been created using the template. This problem is seen for all compiled objects - defaults, rules, procedures etc. when a template is used for creation of these objects.

440252

ASEP used to show no ASEs in the drop down box on Connect dialog if user's interfaces file contains any line that has white characters between "query" and "=". This has been fixed.

440464

The ASE-15_0/SC-3_0/log directory is created as an empty directory in the release area.

440492

ASE Plug-in, through component 'dsparser.jar', was not able to process server entries in a interface file that has multiple 'query' services, or services with filters (e.g. 'ssl'). This has been fixed.

440501

SSL: isql sessions hang when doing a select query and the negotiated packet size is 4096 or greater.

440757

A new builtin switchprop() is added. Passing a switch-name or -number to the switchprop() builtin will return a status which contains the switch properties.

440766

A new stored procedure sp_helpapptrace has been added for application tracing feature. This procdure lists all the sessions that are being traced, the sessions tracing them and the names of the tracefile.

440855

Query using multiple worktables to resolve aggregates or provide distinctness or the order and performing dynamic index strategy to resolve OR predicate may fail with different errors related to sort operations including error 1509 "Internal error encountered in merging rows; resubmit query batch." Sometimes query execution may fail with stack trace logged in the errorlog. The module shown in the backtrace is bld_dynindex.

440876

sp_help and sp_helpartition show the row count as zero for proxy tables

440923

The message "current process infected with 11 in the module sendtext()" together with a stacktrace which includes the modules 's_execute', 'exec_eop' and 'run' maybe reported in the errorlog when running a SELECT with a UNION ALL clause and ORDERBY selecting text or image columns from a table.

440969

Adding a built-in password_admin for password administration related operations.

441020

The minimum password length of system encryption password does not match the minimum password set in sp_configure.

441376

Proxy tables cannot be partitioned in ASE 15.0.2.

441690

Previously the default port number for Jini server discovery service on Edit/Add Discovery Setting dialg was 9999. It has been changed to the correct port number 4160.

441814

When a predicate in a query needs data type conversion for literals that result in data loss, partition elimination does not happen. As an example, a query wih a equality predicate on some literal may result in no data loss and the optimizer may eliminate the respective partitions, provided a semantic partition exists on that column. But, if the literal is different with a higher precision, data type conversion will make the result of the predicate false, and the partition elimination functionality fails to eliminate the required partitions.

441892

User with anonymous connection to UA could not open Roles folder because ASEP would not be able to display role mappings. The requirement is now relaxed so that user with sa_role/sso_role/anonymous-UA-credential can still open Roles folder. The role mappings column won't be shown in this case.

441932

An EX_INT lock was held on Syslogins when a connection logged into ASE, this is now changed to a SH_INT lock to help release this lock as soon as the scan is finished.

442010

Enhanced LOAD database WITH VERIFYONLY to be tolerant of database existance and size.

442045

DBISQL unable to access tables with large identifiers. It gets error: The identifier that starts with ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyznowi’ is too long. Maximum length is 30. Sybase error code=103

The execution of SELECT-INTO under the SET CHAINED option context must not trigger the implicit start of a chained transaction.

442309

Some views containing a union all query will fetch superfluous columns from the base tables when a user query aggregates over the view.

442336

If a table column has a functional index on it and when we update this column, it could cause stacktrace.

442427

Migration tool fails to migrate server logins if Job Scheduler is installed.

442494

On IBM and Mac platforms, a 15760 error, "Invalid dump header when loading the database with ID ' < dbid > '" is reported when an archive database is loaded using a database dump for which a sysdevices row has already been created using the 'sp_addumpdevice "archive database"' stored procedure.

442558

Cannot boot server due to the error "missing lib error with solaris-32 bit dataserver: __fabsf in libm.so.1"

442601

Command "create database sybsecurity" fails. The named database contains upgrade items that are not present in model, so "use database" (part of the command's action) refuses access because sybsecurity is not fully upgraded. There is no workaround.

442629

Attention and kill processing is not working as expected for a process waiting for a RTDS message. The process may hang, without possibility to recover from that state. There is no workaround nor solution before the current fix.

442683

If truncation length is set to 0, no data is returned for text col in dbisql

442752

Wrong comparison result might be generated when MixedDTSarg is used on money- > binary, unichar- > char, char- > binary, or unichar- > binary casting.

442944

The showplan ouput for a positioned DELETE or UPDATE query will show a 'TABLE SCAN' of the table being modified when the query execution actually uses a dynamic index.

443277

One or more hard faults with type code 100001, "The page id, next page, or previous page value in the page header is invalid." is reported by DBCC CHECKSTORAGE when run against an archive database on which a transaction log has been loaded that encapsulates an ALTER DATABASE command.

443457

Under special circunstances, REPLICATION AGENT started in recovery mode may fail to stop automatically after reaching the end of the log.

443557

sp_sysmon may report wrong values for Replication Agent counter "Longest Wait" in different sections: "Log Extension Wait", "Forward Schema", "Backward Schema" or "I/O Wait from RS". This may happen if Replication Agent sleeps for a elapsed time longer than the sample time stablished by sp_sysmon.

443668

Under rare circumstances DBCC TABLEALLOC may hang forever when executed with the FIX option to correct error messages "There are < value > OAM entries with zero used/unused page counts. Run DBCC TABLEALLOC FIX ..." when the OAM entries needing cleanup are the first in the list.

443787

New features within ASE 15.0.2 require that we modify system catalogs. Provide support within ASE for detecting the need to do those modifications, and for downgrading to 15.0 and 15.0.1 servers. Upgrade must be automatic upon first boot of the new server, and upon online database after load database.

443811

A task waiting on completion of a remote process (such as backup) cannot be killed

443885

ssl_alloc() errors during Distinguished Name (DN) Lookup when binding the admin account, "the access account", can cause the security principal to be "locked out" because too many unsuccessful login attempts can be quickly attempted, exceeding the installation standards for unsuccessful retries.

444035

In rare circumstances, TIBCO JMS or EAS JMS messaging operations may fail with one or more error(s) reported in the JRTMSServer log file (rtms.log by default) saying a "lookup operation failed".

444264

444387

A session running DBCC LOGTRANSFER may abnormally terminate with the message "timeslice < value > , current process infected" followed by a stack trace when ASE receives an interrupt (Control-C). The modules "do_logtransfer" and "senddone" will be reported in the error log.

444395

If a block device is used as database device there is no warning either in errorlog or displayed to user on all platforms except on HP-UX, NT, Linux.

444541

If the bits used to mark extents with forwarded rows on data-only locked tables are incorrectly set in all-pages locked tables, the command CHECKALLOC fixes them, but TABLEALLOC, INDEXALLOC or TEXTALLOC don't do it.

444548

Adaptive Server can assign the same virtual device number to multiple devices when one of devices is not accessible while creating the new device.

444563

When "real time messaging" option for TIBCO JMS or EAS JMS is activated at runtime for the first time (since server start-up) and when that operation requires extension of the ASE shared memory space, the issue occures. The symptom is the impossibility to use the JMS messaging operations with crash of the external JVM named JRTMSServer. The reason is because the JVM attaches only to the first ASE shared memory segment in the RTDS 4.0 release.

444577

Converting datatypes using Column Properties dialog fails

444701

sp_droplogin error message should include all the database names where login is valid

444905

Execute immediate query with CASE expression using local variables inherited from the outer scope does not work correctly producing stack traces.

445537

The 'REORG REBUILD' command or the 'ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP/MODIFY' command will fail with error 3935 reading "Fatal protocol error. xact_beginupdate() API was invoked in the wrong context..." when it is run for a Data Only Locked table that has a clustered index created using a pre-12.5 ASE.

445871

The SQLDBGR can be disabled using traceflag 4083. The traceflag is a STARTUP ONLY traceflag and has to be specified while starting up ASE. Turning the traceflag ON/OFF while ASE is running will not have any effect on the state of the SQLDBGR.

446015

Incorrect interfaces file name is printed in the backup server error log, when no interfaces file name is specified in the backup server start-up command line.

446082

The T-SQL function identity() will not accept an unsigned integer as an argument.

446126

Adding new commands 'list in groups' and 'validate password options'

446293

CR 363894 causes 3250 error when using striping and Netbackup The error 3250, "The devices ' < backup api library name > :: < filename > ' and ' < backup api library name > :: < filename > ' specified in the command should be different." will be raised if the file names of two stripes are the same. This error should only be raised for normal or compressed files and it is an error assuming that an external API cannot use duplicate names.

446389

Added a new DBCC command to release memory from procedure cache or engine local cache. The syntax is as follows: dbcc proc_cache (free_unused | flush_elc) where - free_unused: free unused procedures from cache - flush_elc: flush pages from Engine Local Cache. This DBCC needs to used with care and when the system is not in heavy use.

446391

Enhance monLocks table to display the location information for a lock.

446399

Up to 64K rows are now allowed for group by aggregates, which reduces the need for join backs of non-combinable aggregates. Previously there was a limit of the page width for an aggregate row, which is now not the case.

446437

ASE does not correctly detect that some databases are already fully upgraded, so it attempts to upgrade them every time it boots.

447012

Insert into index with large number of rows of duplicated index key value could fail due to incorrect split schema.

447124

When Interactive SQL was launched outside of Sybase Central, its Connect dialog did not set a login timeout. But the login timeout would take effect if Interactive SQL was launched from Sybase Central ASE Plug-in. This inconsistency has been resolved. User can set the login timeout by clicking Settings button on Connect dialog.

447320

Feature request to: 1) Secure login passwords stored in syslogins using SHA-256. 2) Store the last login time in syslogins depending on the "enable last login updates" option.

447400

set option show_missing_stats on was not reporting all the cases in which statistics could be added to help the optimizer. In particular, the LIKE predicate could use statistics for expression histogramming, which were being requested by the set option show_missing_stats diagnostic.

New feature to allow mounting databases from external files using different names to the ones stored in the manifest file.

447597

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'memmove' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'LeThContext::LeThContext()', 'LeXCHGOp::_LeOpAcquire()' and 'LeHashOp::_LeOpAcquire()' will be reported in the error log if firing a trigger which executes a stored procedure with a parallel query.

447933

New Feature - Users can specify 'skip_alloc' parameter while creating a database device from 15.0.2

447936

New Feature - DDLGen generates 'skip_alloc' parameter for database devices for ASE whose version is greater than or equal to 15.0.2 .

448120

In data-only locked tables, DMLs may sometimes appear to hang on account of undetected lock-latch deadlocks if there are concurrent sessions running at isolation level serializable doing backward scans.

448161

Auditing cmdtext shows cleartext password of sp_password in sysaudits table.

448173

sp_dropuser should drop all key copies for the given user in current database.

448272

Unsigned integer identity columns may display a "d" after the value.

448326

An 'ALTER DATABASE' command blocked by a concurrent 'DUMP DATABASE' command may not cleanup properly if interrupted by Ctrl C. As a result, Sysusages and Systhresholds transactional locks may be unexpectedly left behind.

448402

The execution of a stored procedure created with the option "with recompile" may fail the error 225 if it accesses a non temporary table created inside the procedure.

448436

few new fields are added into 'systabstats' system catalog.

448519

AP warning message may be displayed when executing nested subquery with forceplan on.

448676

with Cell based HP Itanium server SPDC fails generate a license if the partition number is appeaded or SYSAM-2_0 fails to recognize generated licenses without partition number

448725

A timeslice error followed by the all_active_devices() and modules db_fill() may be raised when loading a very big archive database.

448912

Internal indexes created on replicate tables with text/image columns will use as index ID the firt free starting from 250, in decrease order.

449148

The stored procedure sp_plan_dbccdb may incorrectly display archive database devices as recommended devices on which to install the 'dbccdb' database.

449293

If there is a cursor fetch statement right before calling sp_helpartition and if that fetch is from an empty table, 515 error might be raised from sp_helpartition.

449502

An existing Job Scheduler installation fails to start after 15.0.2 upgrade.

449518

It is possible to run ONLINE DATABASE after a LOAD TRANSACTION command that failed during recovery of the database.

449584

ASE will use kernel asynchronous i/o on Linux. Traceflags 1630, 1639, and 1649 are now obsolete. Synchronous i/o will be used on file system devices that do not support kaio, such as tmpfs.

449779

Stack trace could occur during joins between local and remote tables with IN clauses.

450010

Partition elimination does not happen if a disjunctive predicate is given to a query where each side of the disjunction can result in partition elimination and the same set of predicates on partitioning columns appear in each side of the disjunction. Ex. (col1 = 10 AND col2=20) or (col1=10 AND col2=30) will be rewritten by the predicate factoring functionality as (col1 = 10) AND (col2 = 20 or col2 = 30), which results in a partial match of the columns used in partitioning i.e. col1 and col2 with the conjunctive predicates and prevents partition elimination.

450105

The message 'current process infected with 11' in module 'level0_restart' may be reported in the error log when SP_SHOWPLAN is run or the configuration option 'plan text pipe active' is set and concurrent activity on table Syscolumns takes place. Modules 'showplan', 'showKeys' and 'getcolname_level0_fromcache' will also be reported in the stack trace.

450130

The error 8207 "Couldn't find an available descriptor for an object. Raise the value of the configuration parameter 'number of open objects' for more descriptors." may be raised in general, after errors 1204 were reported "ASE has run out of LOCKS. Re-run your command when there are fewer active users, or contact a user with System Administrator (SA) role to reconfigure ASE with more LOCKS." when ASE runs out of locks during the instantiation phase of a descriptor's meta-data, resulting in leaking free descriptors mistakenly.

450238

When execute "sybatch.exe -r < resource file" to upgrade an ASE server, an error msg is printed to the console saying it can't find RUN_ < server > .bat file in the new %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\install directory.

450254

Tables with large number of partitions may spawn a whole bunch of worker processes without getting any positive scaling. This is due to the fact that the optimizer makes an assumption that a large number of partitions mean that the table can support a parallel scan with the same number of threads as the number of partitions, which may not be the case. Often times, users have a large number of partitions because of manageability. This bugfix allows user to configure the maximal number of threads for a table or an index using the sp_chgattribute stored procedure.

450359

sp_monitor aborts with an error reporting that the server "loopback" does not exist.

450395

Previously Query Editor sometimes would not populate tables correctly. This has been fixed.

450459

Expressions on sargs were not always evaluated when it should have been possible to obtain a temporary value to be used for histogramming estimation. When this was not done then default selectivities were used for estimates which could result in incorrect join orders. All possible constant expressions are now evaluated at compile time, if it could help with producing a histogramming sarg. for example, "r.a > < some constant case expression > " would not be used for histogramming estimates, and instead the default selectivity of 0.33 would be used for this sarg.

451323

Add new options 'expire login passwords', 'expire role passwords', 'expire stale login passwords' and 'expire stale role passwords' to sp_passwordpolicy procedure to expire login and role passwords.

451448

Queries that use the special or startegy and have a descending order by clause may return results in the wrong order. This will occur if one or more of the columns in the disjuncts always reference the same literal value.

451524

DUMP DATABASE WITH COMPRESSION will generate an invalid dump if the archive is a library created using the backup API. For example, DUMP DATABASE dbname TO "compress::myfile" WITH COMPRESSION=n.

451690

There was an overestimate of PIO for tables which are bound to a large buffer pool, and also have a reserved page count significantly higher than the table pages. This was due to a double costing of the page cluster ratio, in addition to the sparseness of rows in the extent. Adjustments were made to avoid the double costing so that PIO estimates for large IO are more accurate

451751

The authentication mechanism may be missing or truncated in the audit trail for a login event when a Kerberos principal name and mapped user login name approaches 30 bytes in length.

451898

There are some inconsistencies in pre-15.0 statistics that are corrected during upgrade. In this case, there were range cells and yet the range density was zero, which occurs occasionally due to a pre-15.0 problem in update statistics in which the range cell only exists in the last cell of the histogram and the remaining cells are frequency cells. The inconsistency are now corrected during upgrade to 15.0.

451902

If you create a table and add a numeric identity column to the table, sp_create_text_index fails on the table with a message "Datatype numeric ( Column 'xxx' ) is not supported in a text index.".

451966

HA command, sp_companion may fail for HA-enabled dataserver on Sun Cluster 3.1 running on Solaris 10.

452280

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'close_range' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 's_estmt_loopend' and 's_execute' may be reported in the error log if a DML statement is executed involving a high number of tables, the table being modified has many referential constraints and there is a trigger defined on it.

452368

Max and min vector aggregation can result in sigsegv when operate on unichar and univarchar columns.

452442

Potential non-evaluation of OR-clauses if query qualification references a column with the decrypt_default attribute. In SQL statements containing qualifications of the type WHERE dd_col = < value > OR non_dd_col = < value > , where dd_col is an encrypted column with the decrypt_default attribute and non_dd_col is a column without the decrypt_default attribute, the WHERE clause will disqualify all rows if the user executing the query does not have decrypt permission on dd_col.

452610

The builtin function object_name() incorrectly returns NULL for any master-only system table in a database other than 'master', that has been loaded with a database dump of the master database.

452801

Stacktrace in RcToAndOrTree() could happen when a column is compared with a scalar aggregate result under an OR predicate and the same column appears under the OR predicate multiple times. For example, (A > = (select min(A) from t2) or A > = (select min(A) from t3)).

452819

When the jconnect and ctlib send a varchar longer than 255 bytes,in some cases it could cause stacktrace in memalloc() with 702 error since it requests 2147483647 bytes memory.

452850

Synchronize the new options "expire login passwords", "expire role passwords", "expire stale login passwords" and "expire stale role passwords" added to sp_passwordpolicy on companion server.

452998

Server status was checked periodically even though user unchecked the plug-in setting. This has been fixed.

453021

The missing sample directories (JavaXml, esp, histsrvr, messaging, server, and sybmigrate) have been added back into ASE 15.0.2.

453037

The spelling of sybprocs in message Building sysprocs device and sybsystemprocs database .... sybprocs device and sybsystemprocs database created is not correct, it should be sysprocs.

453088

In some exception case, print SQLTEXT could stacktrace from terminate_process().

453218

Improve login performance.

453339

When ASE is booted with 16k page size,installmaster script may fail to complete with following message- "The current 'max memory' value '32768', is not sufficient to change the parameter 'allow updates to system tables' to '1'".

453380

Feature Request: "maximum failed logins" set to '-1' increments syslogins.logincount on every login failure.

453446

XPserver sometimes fails to come up on 64bit platforms with the following error in the errorlog, "os_syscmd: system function returned error. OS error string: Bad address".

453474

sp_help is enhanced to display the decrypt_default information for all decrypt_defaults declared on a table. This information consists of the internal name of the decrypt_default.

453512

When server's default sortorder is one of Unilib sortorders, and the statement matches a char variable in the like clause against an unichar column, 2432 error might be raised.

453529

On occasion, the alter table function raises an exception in adc__update_sysreferences() and getnext() when a column is dropped from the original table definition.

453566

Print option 1 to DBCC PAGE will now decode the TIPSA region of 1st text/image pages, and will print out the data for all text and image pages as a byte stream.

453742

ASE HA Failback fails with ServiceGuard A.11.17 but works on ServiceGuard A.11.16 and A.11.15. This is a compatibility issue with ServiceGuard A.11.17. ServiceGuard A.11.17 changes the message in its output from "cmhaltpkg : Completed successfully" to "cmhaltpkg: Completed successfully". A white space has been removed in the message between "cmhaltpkg" and ":" causing ASE HA Failback to fail.

453794

Queries that eliminate partitions based a query predicate may chose a global non-clustered index scan that has a low data row cluster ratio over a table scan that would be more desirable due to partition elimination.

454022

A 325 error, "Adaptive Server finds no legal query plan for this statement." may be reported with a SELECT query when the opportunistic distinct view option is enabled.

454029

The message 'Could not execute login script for user < username > ' will be incorrectly reported when the password has expired. In an HA environment, setting the password at the primary will fail to be replicated at the companion server with the same error message.

454137

The messages for errors 15082 and 15084 respectively "There are < value > OAM entries with zero used/unused page counts. Run DBCC < value > FIX on objid < value > indid < value > ." and "The OAM has no room for new inserts. Run DBCC < value > FIX on objid < value > indid < value > ." should not report "Run DBCC CHECKALLOC FIX" if DBCC CHECKALLOC was the command being executed, since CHECKALLOC can only be executed at the database level. Instead the relevant command that needs to be run later in order to correct this non severe problem will be reported, either TABLEALLOC, INDEXALLOC or TEXTALLOC.

454176

If ASE 15.0.x is running using an installation that has not yet been upgraded from 12.0.x or before, and a user executes CREATE PROCEDURE in a database, then when upgrade tries to upgrade sysprocedures, ASE may produce messages warning about 'invalid column length', with associated stack traces.

454283

The default stack size on AIX64 is increased from 96k to 104k.

454434

System wide password expiration will be ignored and a user with an expired password will be able to log into the server unless a password expiration policy has been defined using the stored procedure sp_passwordpolicy.

454562

Turning off the direct i/o through DIRECTIO=false doesn't take effect even after restarting ASE if the device had the DIRECTIO option set to true before.

454790

When a login password has expired in a High Availability (HA) environment on both the master and companion servers, execution of sp_password silently fails to change the password on the companion; the password change succeeds only on the local server.

454952

The command DBCC LISTOAM will incorrectly report the error 'Invalid Object Id < n > ' when the object is a master only system table.

455146

Attempts to run dbcc report_al(db_name) encounter error 10334, state 80 (permission related internal error).

455195

The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'HashBuf::HbBufSetRunInfo' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'LeHashPart::LePartGetConsumerId' and LePipeRepart::LePipeWriteVtuple' may be reported in the error log when a query involving more than 31 columns is executed in parallel and "hash repartitioning" mechanism was chosen.

455196

RTDS licenses obtained from DI, that did not contain the PE=EE string, would not work when used with ASE EE.

455197

If a compute clause's group-by list contains an expression and no rows are returned for the query, then a SEGV or stack corruption could occur.

455275

Under rare circumstances DBCC CHECKSTORAGE may detect non-existent 100018 errors when run on an archive database.

455413

When parallelism is turned on, a query with several tables may cause a time slice error. This is because the optimizer has a large search space to traverse in the parallel mode and the timeout mechanism does not take that into account while comparing a large number of plan fragments.

455435

Using the top clause in a select statement that involves a union all in a view (or equivalent derived table) in the from clause does not limit the size of the result set as expected.

455570

For DBCC CHECKCATALOG, if the partition id order in the tree from sysprocedures is different from the partition id order in the syscomments, the 15911 error will be raised.

455601

Error 644 "Index row entry for data row id ( < value > , < value > ) is missing from index page < value > of index id < value > of table ' < value > ' in database ' < value'..." may be reported in module "del_rownotfound" with a stack trace in the error log when an UPDATE command is run on a Data Only Locked table and the scan index being used by ASE to perform the update has one or more of its columns affected by the given update.

455707

Previously a server's preferences (such as number of lines of server log to retrieve) were lost when the server was cut and pasted. Now the preferences for the server are preserved when the server is cut.

455842

Previously when you sort a table column of data type "binary" on Data panel, a ClassCastException stack trace would occur. This has been fixed.

455901

Entities in xml documents are not handled correctly on AIX FBO builds.

456048

When a sort node is used for a merge join, and an ORDER BY request is made by the query, that uses descending columns, then there is a possibility that the ORDER BY on those columns would be ignored, and only the ascending columns in the ORDER BY would be respected. This problem occurs when an attempt would be made to use the ordering available from the sort node, to also be used by the ORDER BY so that an extra sort node is avoided.

456052

Materialized status of a computed column cannot be altered from column properties in Sybase Central ASE Plug-in.

456145

Wrong result could happen when "FOR BROWSE" mode is used and the query has an ORDER BY on some expression.

456218

SELECT INTO statements that source a union view that references a virtual computed column will generate recompilation errors. In the case of a batch, a 225 error is generated: Cannot run query--referenced object (name NAME NOT RECOVERABLE) dropped during query optimization.

456223

The message "current process infected with 11" together with a stack trace may be reported in the error log if a GROUP BY used on a comupted column with sum and count aggregates including a distinct clause.

456260

When using RTDS (version 4.0 and before) with MQ, messages larger than 1MB cannot be sent or received.

456314

Wrong result could happen if the query has an equality predicate between two expressions (expr1=expr2) and through some other equijoin predicate(s), all the columns referenced in the predicate can be completely mapped to one joining table and at the same time also completely mapped to another joining table. For example, "t1.c1+2=t2.c1*2 and t1.c1=t2.c1".

456393

Query with having clause with a subquery and correlated aggregate will not evaluate correctly having clause if it uses IS NULL operator.

456532

On Solaris, if ASE is configured for High Availability with SunCluster, the HA agent ase_monitor may print misleading error messages on every thorough probe, though the error occured only once.

456534

When dataserver of sjis and backupserver of eucjis are used, the dump command outputs the error of open server. Open Server Error: 16368.10.0.0 srv_senddone(): A message was initialized, but not completed.

456575

Inserting values into columns with defaults may get Msg 233 on a HA secondary server.

456747

For table with APL clustered index, sometimes a table scan is incorrectly reported as an index scan in diagnostics (such as showplan) when there is some predicate on the index column but not on the leading column(s).

456828

A new configuration parameter "enable merge join" is added to enable/disable merge_join at server level. This configuration can be set to 0 - unset merge_join at server level. 1 - set merge_join at server level. 2 - set merge_join to default value (as per curent optgoal) at server level.

460673

Infinite 9835 errors raised by a parallel execution family after segmentation fault in HashBuf::HbBufSetRunInfo.

460902

When a user changes the wash size of the smaller pool "sp_poolconfig ''default data cache'', ''2K'', ''wash=4444K''", though the wash size is changed in the sysconfigures table, it is not being written into the ".cfg" file. As a result of this, after reboot of the server, the wash size of ''2K'' pool is reverted back to DEFAULT

460936

Installer not finding jvm on hpux 11.31

461019

Migration tool support for new encrypted column features.

461095

keycustodian is allowed to set the system encryption password.

461097

The uid of sysquerymetrics will be 0 when all table names in a query, which are not qualified by user name, are owned by the dbo. This change can be disabled by turning on Traceflag 15361.

461167

When OMNI tables are involved and no parallel is turned on, ASE aborts queries saying that there is insufficient threads configured.

461169

A 511 error "Attempt to update or insert row failed because resultant row of size < num > bytes is larger than the maximum size (1964 bytes) allowed for this table." may be reported during upgrade to 15*, during "upgrade step [ID 60], alter table (table sysstatistics)" when there are small histogram boundary values at the end of a sysstatistics row.

461196

Update sp_lmconfig to allow the following license types to be specified: LP, LF, LR, LV

461305

A SELECT query with an OR CLAUSE may not return the correct results.

461310

Under random circumstances, the error "Cannot create msgqueue Xnnnnnnnn because it already exists" could be raised by the backup server. The chances are higher when there are several dumps running simultaneously.

461319

A distinct order-by query in a non-binary sortorder server may return too few rows. This can happen if the sum of unique distinct (from the select-list) and order-by columns is less than 32 and there are no character columns in the select list that are not also in the order-by list. Taking the following query as an example: select distinct a.a, a.c from A a, B b where a.b=b.b order by c In this case, "c" is the only character column in select-list and it appears in the order-by list. So, the bug occurs. If "a" was a character column, then the problem would not occur.

461414

sp_deviceattr doesn't allow setting of the directio flag on AIX

461461

An outer join query using DISTINCT and ORDER BY clauses may return incorrect results for COMPUTE predicates on expressions involving columns from the inner table or may raise a 325 error: "Adaptive Server finds no legal query plan for this statement."

461469

A timeslice error followed by a stack trace that includes the module db__diskremap_sysaltusages could result when trying to load a transaction dump on a big archive database.

461470

If reformatting plan is chosen and the worktable need to be filled more than once, it could cause wrong results.

461704

In certain rare circumstances a cursor opened for update can calculate an incorrect row size for the newly updated row. This causes the cursor to fail and report error 669: "The length computation of the row < rowid > is wrong. Ensure that row-length is no greater than max possible size of < maxrowsize > . This error was detected during cursor scan fixups for cursor < cursor_name > . This is an internal error."

461735

Stacktrace in CgpGlobal::CgpGenerate() might happen when a parallel plan is chosen where there is an Xchg operator above a Sequence operator.

462159

A query with a lot of AND terms in a WHERE clause may cause stack guardword corruption.

462189

If the configuration option "print deadlock information" is set and a deadlock occurs, ASE activates trace flag 3605 for the deadlock report but forgets to unset it after the report is finished, causing additional subsequent output to be written in the error log.

462279

A simple 1 table query with a predicate that represents a FALSE condition as 8 < 5, will cause the query to stack trace. This is because the partition elimination functionality cannot deal with a predicate that has been marked FALSE and results into a stack trace.

462326

"auditinit" creates sysaudits_XX tables without "nodeid" column in "sybsecurity" database. Also, the column "objname" in sysaudits_XX tables have varchar(30). It should be varchar(255).

462504

A query involving many AND/OR terms may cause stack overflow.

462671

In one process, if it use sp_showplan < spid > to probe another process and if the target process which is being probed is blocked before entering new LAVA engine, it could cause stack trace in _LeOpShowOp() if plan use worktables.

462696

When ASE reports an I/O failure as a result of a hardware error, it reports an incorrect virtual page number for the failure.

462810

If the first parameter passed to the built-in reserved_pages() is an invalid database id, the error 913 will be raised with a fatal severity 22 instead of a user severity 16.

462937

The HP-UX installer can't remove non-empty temporary directories when user exists the installer.

462950

Wrong result or error 325 (no legal plan found) could happen when a subquery from a view/derived table is referenced in the parent query block's WHERE clause.

462986

Incorrect results may sometimes be returned when executing a query involving more than 2 tables with outer join on a non equality clause and using GROUP BY.

463004

Stack trace may result when the view definition has a group by all clause and the target list has columns which are not in the group by or the user query.

463111

When Q engines are onlined with ASE, messaging tasks and other DBMS tasks may hang.

463287

Error 11775 displays a negative number instead of the command name when encrypted columns is not enabled and an attempt to grant permission on encrypted columns commands is made.

463356

Previously when a table contains unsigned bigint columns, Data panel for the table would not show the data. This has been fixed. (Note Interactive SQL will show the data.)

463412

An incorrect remote sql statement could be generated for a proxy table when nested convert routines are used that specify a conversion style. The conversion style could be missing on the generated remote statement.

463465

In rare circumstances, Adaptive Server may raise a 701 error "There is not enough procedure cache to run this procedure, trigger, or SQL batch. Retry later. etc." mistakenly, although one or more engines have local procedure cache available.

463505

Several new SET optimizer set commands will now be able to used at compile time to affect the optimizer in stored procedures or batches. Previously, the optimizer set commands would not take effect until the stored procedure was executed or recompiled. Note that care must be taken to reset the SET command prior from returning from the stored procedure, otherwise the execution of subsequent stored procedures may be affected. If it is intended that subsequent stored procedures should be affected, then the export_options feature should also be used, since the intention is for a later change to localize the following SET commands unless export_options is used (such as in a login trigger). The following SET commands were affected: DISTINCT_SORTED DISTINCT_SORTING DISTINCT_HASHING GROUP_SORTED GROUP_HASHING BUSHY_SPACE_SEARCH PARALLEL_QUERY ORDER_SORTING NL_JOIN MERGE_JOIN HASH_JOIN APPEND_UNION_ALL MERGE_UNION_ALL MERGE_UNION_DISINCT HASH_UNION_DISTINCT STORE_INDEX INDEX_INTERSECTION INDEX_UNION MULTI_TABLE_STORE_IND OPPORTUNISTIC_DISTINCT_VIEW ADVANCED_AGGREGATION REPLICATED_PARTITION GROUP_INSERTING ASE125_PRIMED AUTO_QUERY_TUNING QUERY_TUNING_MEM_LIMIT QUERY_TUNING_TIME_LIMIT SET PLAN OPTGOAL

463675

A query like the following may get error 137 (Must declare variable '@@@V0_VARCHARorder'.) if statement cache and literal auto parameterization are enabled. For example: select b2 from t1 where a1 = 'TEST'order by b2 There is no blank between a literal value surrounded by single/double quote marks and a SQL keyword.

463716

Under rare circumstances, a query using views and nested aggregates results in a Signal 11.

463735

In some cases, queries containing aggregation with GROUP BY and a mixture of nullable and non-nullable columns can lead to wrong results or divide-by-zero errors (if the AVG aggregate is present). The error will only occur if the optimizer chooses a query plan that contains a materialization step for the aggregation results (This can be seen from the showplan output by the presence of a STORE operator).

463795

Using tsequal() builtin function within stored procedure could caused stacktrace.

463837

In some situations, a query with outer join between a view and derived table might return wrong result.

463885

sig11 could happen in LeSarg::mapSarg() during execution when there is a vector aggregate operaor (GroupBy) or union operaor under a three-way or more nested loop join (NaryNlJoin).

463895

Signal 11 could happen in CgEvals::_CgCompVcol() for an outerjoin whose's ON clause contains a joining expression and the expression involves a column which also participates in another equijoin predicate. For example, (t1.c1=t2.c1 and t1.c2=t2.c1+5).

463908

Update installmaster script to include fixes for the following ODBC, OLE DB and jConnect Driver CRs fixed: CR 438735 - ODBC Driver by Sybase: Unexpected behavior in Crystal Reports when connecting using ODBC Driver, because SQLProcedureColumns returns ?NO? for IS_NULLABLE. CR 416248 - ODBC Driver by Sybase: SQLColumns returns type name varchar for timestamp data type. CR 416250 - ODBC Driver by Sybase: SQLColumns returns type names varchar and char for nvarchar and nchar data types respectively. CR 438423 - ODBC Driver by Sybase: Accessing ASE using ODBC Driver from Microsoft Access 2003 causes reserved error (-7707). CR 420176 - OLE DB Provider by Sybase: Unable to execute queries from Microsoft SQL Server using a Sybase ASE linked server. CR 427244 - jConnect: Calling DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns when auto-commit mode is off raises SybSQLException: SELECT INTO command not allowed within multi-statement transaction. CR 442470 - jConnect: DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo call no longer returns ASE Local type of "double precision". CR 443327 - jConnect: DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo returns internal ASE system user types (like longsysname) which should not be returned.

463919

The problem occurs for complex queries which contain many composite joins as well as equi-sargs on joining columns, and descending index columns. The failure occurs due to incorrect handling of composite orderings when a descending attribute is in the composite ordering, and an equi-sarg exists on another attribute of the composite ordering.

463988

On AIX platform, a 19608 error, "no such parameter 'directio' " reported when changing directio parameter with deviceattr stored procedure

464036

Wrong result could happen if there is an OR predicate and one OR term appears in all the disjuncts of the OR predicate (in other words, the OR term can be extracted out as the common predicate and the origial OR predicate can be removed). For example, ((t1a.c1a = 9 AND t1a.c1a > t1b.c1a) OR t1a.c1a > t1b.c1a).

464049

Signal 11 could be hit in CgEvals::_CgCompLogOp() if there is an OR predicate and one OR term appears in all the disjuncts of the OR predicate (in other words, the OR term can be extracted out as the common predicate and the origial OR predicate can be removed). For example, ((t1a.c1a = t4a.c3 AND 0 > t4a.c3) OR t1a.c1a = t4a.c3 )).

464171

Deleting system table rows is not enough for downgrade; the anchors pointing to those rows must also be deleted. Otherwise subsequent upgrade will fail because the booting server can still find the deleted rows, so ASE will think the table still exists.

464456

Server may give error# 325 (finds no legal query plan for this statement) when group_hashing is off and the query has GROUP BY on an expression.

464491

When a resource governor limit is detected and causes a query to abort while that query is creating a work table for the benefit of a hash operator, then a stack trace may be produced.

464504

Error message 403 (Invalid operator for datatype op: = type: VOID TYPE.) could be raised when a DISTINCT view is used and one of the view projection is a constant.

464630

When an expirable license is obtained on grace the date of expiry of the license is reported instead of the date of expiry of the grace period. The expiry of grace periods for permanent licenses is reported correctly.

464647

Wrong result could happen for mergejoin/hashjoin which contains a joining expression and the expression involves a column which also participates in another equijoin predicate. For example, (t1.c1=t2.c1 and t1.c1=t2.c2+t1.c2).

464648

The installer failed to configure Job Scheduler because there is no ASE to install SQL and template files.

464805

After loading a database that requires upgrade, a user who is DBO but does not have sa_role or oper_role will not be able to bring that database online. ASE reports Msg 968 'Database [name] is not upgraded and hence is not available for access'.

464843

Use of SET FORCEPLAN in 15.0.1 ESD 1 and ESD 2 can result in AP errors

464860

HP-UX uninstaller can't remove softlinks.

465288

Sybase Unified Agent is not added to the Windows service on Windows 64-bit.

465293

A SQL statement that contains an expression subquery which returns a non-nullable result datatype can lead to a 530 error. The error will occur if the expression subquery qualifies no rows and thus returns NULL and the query plan requires the subquery result to be stored in a worktable (The worktable can be seen by the presence of a STORE operator in the showplan output).

465301

With "max parallel degree" configured to more than 1, statements that reference encrypted columns with the decrypt default property can cause ASE to stacktrace with a "Worker Process internal plan copy error for EVAL E_DECRYPT_PERM" message.

465306

When upgrading an installation that has Job Scheduler enabled, the booting (new) server can report error 11031. After this occurs, upgrade will hang in database 'sybmgmtdb', waiting for a lock that cannot be granted.

465438

The REORG REBUILD command run on a replicated database with DDL on should not be replicated, either, the internal SQL such as ALTER TABLE generated during its processing.

465440

Error message 530 (Attempt to insert NULL value into column 0 in work table; column does not allow NULLS. UPDATE fails) could be raised when there is a join predicate with an expression and each column in the expression is involved in another equijoin predicate with some other column.

465448

Incorrect results could be returned when a mergejoin with at least two equijoin predicates is placed over a nested loop join that uses a reformatting strategy for the inner table and the outer scan of the nested loop join involves a unique index.

465449

Previously on Server Properties General page the OS and Platform field displayed different information depending on whether UA (Unified Agent) was available (OS/Platform from the UA was preferred over build OS/Platform from the version string). To avoid confusion, ASEP now clearly labels OS/Platform as "Build OS" and "Build platform". Add additional host OS/Platform fields are shown only when UA is available.

465523

Wrong result could happen for an outerjoin whose only outer table is is a scalar aggregate view/derived table.

465569

sig11 might happen in LeSarg::mapSarg() during execution when one of the joining tables is a proxy table and the join predicate involves an expression on columns from both the proxy table and some local table.

465618

A select into statement with NULL timestamps may cause siganl 11

465644

The default db after user login is the not the default db saved in syslogins. It's the master database instead.

465725

The showplan ouput for the SCAN operator of a SQL statement that requires reading the rows of a semantically partitioned table may incorrectly contain '[ Using Dynamic Partition Elimination ]' when a global index is used for the scan and the statement contains predicates on the partitioning key columns.

465762

The default number of locks has been increased from 5000 to 10000.

465849

Installer throws "ClassNotFoundException" when run on machine with previous installed ASE.

465853

64bit monserver on solaris can have very high cpu utilization at times due to not being linked with the kernel threads libraries (/usr/lib/lwp/64)

465987

The ASE server.loc file and sybinit/*.loc files have been moved under the ASE-15_0 directory tree, in order to reduce issues overlaying locales files from other Sybase products.

466313

License server is not started after the installation.

466315

User data in text/image column may become garbled when the database is upgraded from 11.9.x to 15.0.1 directly by using dump and load, and the endian type of the source and target platform is different.

466570

In rare circumstances the error 206 raises when executing a query with joins and group by.

466687

A query could return illegal duplicate rows if it contains a SELECT DISTINCT both in the SELECT clause of a query block and also in the SELECT clause of either a derived table or a view which are directly part that query block's FROM cluase.

467000

When outer joins are used and there is an equi-join outside the scope of the ON clause, in which one of the operands is an expressions and the other operand is a single attribute of the table which is the inner table of the outer join, then there is a possibility of an incorrect answer. An example would be the following select * from t2 left join t1 on c2 < c1 where c1=c2-1 go

467044

localization errors are outputted when configuring servers during installation

467400

When HA primary and companion servers are established in failover mode and sp_locklogin attempts to lock a login account, an HA consistency error is reported.

467848

Due to problems installing Infomaker on Windows 20003 from the PC-Client autorun menu, the InfoMaker install must now be run separately. The autorun menu has been changed to display instructions for launching the Infomaker installer.

468027

Only the first license server in a Three Server Redundant configuration can be started. This is because the sysam script checks whether a License Server is UP but does not differentiate between server names in a Three Server Redundant configuration so it assumes all servers are UP as soon as the first is started.

468099

Possible wrong result when there is a mismatch datatype comparison underneath a CASE expression and an implicit CNVT node is needed there.

468277

The message "Current process ... infected with signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" may be reported in module 'memfreeheap' during the execution of an ALTER TABLE to change the lock scheme of a table from 'allpages' to 'datarows/datapages'. The modules 'altertab' and 'alt_lock_change' would also be reported in the stack trace in the error log.

468329

Previously when user clicked Help button on Connect dialog (either from ASE Plug-in or Interactive SQL), an error occurred with the message: "Unable to find help target: HELP_ASE_DB_SRC_ADVANCED_PAGE". This has been fixed.

469301

The installer does not preserve the file timestamp when moved or renamed. Because of this, files that were moved have current timestamp. When the installer overlays the files (upgrade), it prompts for overwrite.
