978.4Still needs your help...ORAREP::TAV02::ARIEArie Blum - SI DEC-IsraelSun Jan 05 1997 08:5314
  Hello,

  I just wonder how much of the above problems are fixed at the next version 
  which is now on field test.

  Does RDB version 7 is needed for DBI version 7 ?
  
 

  best regards and Happy New Year.

978.5Some stuff fixed.BROKE::ABUGOVMon Jan 06 1997 12:2656
    Hi Arie,
    
    Best regards to you too for the new year. 
    
    Here is where I believe we stand with all of the problems at V7.0
    release (if  it isn't already shipping, should be soon)

  1. Performance problem : too much memory ,cpu and i/o - Notes : 602,952,953.

>>> re: 602 - We've cut back on the amount of stuff we load when you do a show 
>>> table table_name

>>> re: 952 - Some of the HPV stuff has been reworked, I'm not sure if the
>>> problem referenced in this note specifically is one of the things that got
>>> addressed.

>>> re: 953 - We still require dispatch for remote, and dispatch still creates 
>>> the new processes.  The unavailable partition problem we could not fix in
>>> the V7 timeframe.  It isn't in the first tier of stuff we want to do for V8
>>> either (native connect and nt have that distinction).

  2. DBI doesn't recognize that an unavailable node becomes avaialable 
     Note : 938.

>>> We looked at it but couldn't do anything in the V7 timeframe.  Ditto for 
>>> V8.

  3. There is a problem define a very large Partition View - Note : 944.

>>> As far as we know, this is a dispatch problem which was fixed.

  4. Performance problem in Attach to many remote nodes - Note : 558.

>>> Code is in V7 but didn't get into dispatch for Rdb7.  The dispatch folks 
>>> said this was checked in for V8, so you may see it soon.

  5. Partiotioned View over multiple columns not supported - Note : 845.

>>> Not implemented.

  6. DBI is not doing partition elimination at run-time according to the value
     of the host program variable - Note: 603.

>>> Implemented and in the next version.

  7. All aggregate processing is done in DBI (when all data isn't coming 
     from the same database - Note : 478.

>>> Done in some cases now (for V7).  There can't be a lot other stuff in the
>>> statements.

  8. DBI is not supporting the ability to call stored procedures outside 
     of DBI (for example : calling ORACLE Stored procedures) - Note : 72.   

>>> On our wish list.

    Hello,

     Many thanks for your replies.

     The customer with more than 100 Databases is still interesting to evaluate
     the product.

     Is it possible to use DBI V7.0 with RDB V6.1 ?

     best regards


        Arie.

978.7Rdb V6.1 is fine by us...BROKE::ABUGOVWed Jan 08 1997 10:487
    
    Hi Arie,
    
    Yes, the Rdb Distributed Option (our new monikker) will continue to
    work with older versions of Rdb.
