Since the release of version 1.7.0 some bugs have reported and been fixed. These fixes will go into an interim release 1.7.1 by the end of the month.
For version 1.7.2 (previously slated as 1.7.1) the following enhancements are so far planned. All suggestions are welcome. Testing framework. Internal class tests will be introduced in addition to further enhancements to the TestSelf framework for SQL and JDBC(this now has a persistence test). Fast Logging and Loading Karl's excellent patch will be introduced as an alternative logging format. A database property specifies which logging format to use, the existing one, or the binary one. This brings the speed benefits to all related areas, including rebuilding of the .data file at SHUTDOWN COMPACT, while avoiding extra work on integrity considerations. Metadata More conformity to the system tables and views in the SQL standard. We now support views and should be able to adopt some of the standard views defined in the SQL standard. HAVING I want to revamp the Select class to support this. It's implementation is also somewhat related to the idea of multiple resultsets which may also be introduced. Internal Representation of Indexes There is some memory waste in the current implementation of MEMORY indexes, which can be ameliorated by some refactoring. Also there is a performance issue with inserts in CACHED tables when there are indexes. These areas will be investigated. Simple Query Optimisation Issues such as using the most appropriate index, using multi-column indexes etc. Connection Properties Need to support this for JDBC connections. Internal Enhancements Following from where we left with the new collection classes, we will be introducing them to all areas of the codebase that could benefit. Also further reorganisation of the sources to improve code structure Transfer Tool Nicolas has updated this recently, more enhancements are in the pipeline for the next release. And More There will hopefully be a separate announcement within a week or so for a major new feature. I am not at liberty to say more at this stage. Existing and new developers are encouraged to participate in this effort.
