The MonetDB team at CWI/MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Apr2012 feature release of the MonetDB suite of programs.
More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at http://www.monetdb.org/. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <http://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Apr 2012 feature release Build Environment * Fixed some of the package names for Debian/Ubuntu. Packages for libraries should contain the major number of the library version number. This was not always the case. * On Debian and Ubuntu, install Python modules in dist-packages instead of site-packages. This fixed bug 2997. SQL * Fixed a crash that happened at the end of a database upgrade to the Dec2011 database scheme. The crash happened during cleanup after the database was upgraded, so it was merely inconvenient. * Stripped off implementation-specific parts from error messages before they get presented to the user. Java Module * Password reading by JdbcClient no longer results in strange artifacts * JdbcClient now returns exit code 1 in case of failures * Implemented missing Number types support in PreparedStatement.setObject() * Fixed bug in DatabaseMetaData.getSchemas() method that caused an SQL error when called with catalog and schema argument. * Resolved a bug where JDBC and Control connections could terminate abruptly with 'Connection closed' messages Client Package * ODBC: Implemented the SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT attribute. * mclient now has a -a (--autocommit) option to turn off autocommit mode. MonetDB5 Server * The type "chr" has been removed. chr has long been superseded by bte for 1 byte arithmetic plus it is pretty useless to hold single characters since we use Unicode and thus only a tiny subset of the supported character set would fit. * Fixed potential crash by dealing better with non-standard types. * A couple of memory leaks have been plugged. Merovingian * The logfile and pidfile monetdbd properties are now displayed with dbfarm path when relative * Fixed a bug in the multiplex-funnel where certain clients would abort on responses for update queries. * Fixed problem where version and mserver properties for monetdbd were not always successfully retrieved. Bug #2982. * Fixed problem where shutdown of monetdbd would lead to shutting down database 'control' which does not exist. Bug #2983. * Fixed issue causing (harmless) 'error reading from control channel' messages. Bug #2984. * Resolved problem where remote start/stop/etc. commands with monetdb would report error 'OK'. Bug #2984. MonetDB Common * The type "chr" has been removed. chr has long been superseded by bte for 1 byte arithmetic plus it is pretty useless to hold single characters since we use Unicode and thus only a tiny subset of the supported character set would fit.
