I've just received a beta version of v5.2.1 which includes the
following:
o Read/Write to Rdb
o Read/Write to RMS
o Read to DBMS/including AUTODBMS
o Enhancements to windows
o 20-30% speed improvement in MODIFY (hmmm?)
o Keypad support for ALL-IN-1 (PF1=GOLD)
o Read/write data to and from mailboxes
and some others odds-and-ends which don't affect many of us:
o Read/Write to Oracle
o Read to Ingres
o Read to SYBASE
I requested the beta copy because I'm primarily interested in the
writable FOCUS/Rdb interface. If the MODIFY syntax works with Rdb as
advertised, it may be reason enough to use FOCUS - to update/add/delete
data into an Rdb relation. Supposedly, the COMBINE verb works and
several relations can be updated in one pass.
If anyone is interested, you might contact Emma Schwartz at IBI's NYC
office.

| 123.1 | READ_ONLY Transactions with 5.2 | ILO::MCKNIGHT | Michael Mcknight 890-2516 IRM,Mervue,Ireland | Mon Sep 19 1988 08:35 | 17 |
Hello,
Has anybody been able to answer how to get FOCUS to start a READ_ONLY
transaction . We have an application here in Mervue, with
which most of the associated programs start SHARED WRITE NOWAIT,
however when a FOCUS is querying the same relation as the program
is using it causes the system to fallover - which in light of the
application is quite serious. Also I asked the system manager here
whether at the time of installation was he prompted for a READ_ONLY
interface for 5.2, he says no, we also checked the log of the
installation which concurs with what he said.
Has anybody any thoughts ??
Rgds
Michael
