I got it yesturday but judging by the fix list we will have to do some
careful testing - particularly becuase of the 2 fixes to the optomiser. I
had been forced to use PLAN's on some queries and in stored procs which now
may cause things to slow or break.
We never had crashes during sweeps and the bug you refer to failed when
indexes contain null values - which we don't have as all indexed columns are
not-null - as they should be (?).
Some of the other things in the fix list have shocked me. I was stunned
that cast() could return the wrong results. How do these sort of bugs get
through QA?
