Oct 2014-SP1 bugfix release
MonetDB5 Server
* Fixed adding of 0 intervals to dates.
Build Environment
* The libraries included in the Windows installers have been
upgraded. We now use libxml2-2.9.2, openssl-1.0.1j, pcre-8.36, and
zlib-1.2.8.
MonetDB Common
* Implemented a change to the way in which string bats are appended.
We now try harder to limit the growth of the string heap.
* Fixed some problems with BATsample. It was possible for BATsample
to return a value that was just beyond the end of the sampled BAT.
Also, on some systems the range of the rand() function is rather
limited (0..32767) and trying to get a sample larger than this
range would result in an infinite loop.
SQL
* Fixed sys.queue() implementation to report on other queries being
executed.
* A number of bugs were fixed in the code to upgrade a database from
previous releases. This version should fix the upgrade of a
database that had been upgraded to the Oct2014 release, but also
properly upgrade directly from Jan2014 and Feb2013 releases.
Bug Fixes
* 3580: cosmetic change (append newline)
* 3609: Incorrect use of generate_series
* 3611: quantile() and median() commands crash when used 2x on the
same variable on a null table
* 3612: assertion failure when deleting rows from table to which a FK
constraint is defined
* 3620: ORDER BY broken when using UNION ALL
* 3621: Hexadecimal literal vs decimal literal
