V7.24 was released last month on Sun and some first tier platforms and 7.3 is in Beta and expected end of first quarter. New features in 7.3 include: o SET OPTIMIZATION FIRST_ROWS/ALL_ROWS; o Optimizer hints. o Ordered Merge code to speed multiple fragment searches if data from each fragment is being returned ordered due to indexing or clustering. o In place table alter. This makes altering a table instantaneous since the data is actually altered when it is first fetched after alteration. o New functions to aid porting Oracle code like UPPER and LOWER functions, etc. o CASE functionality in SELECT statements o Multi-table or JOIN indexes to pre-join commonly joined tables. o Additional alarm program to handle gathering crash and Alert data . o Archive verification utility. o Delivered Legato interface for On-Bar. o Restartable restore in case of interrupted restore. o Oncheck options to check without locking tables. o more Art S.
