Oct2020-SP5 Bugfix Release (11.39.17)
Windows Packaging
* Added the monetdbe library to the Windows installer.
MonetDB Common
* A bug that would very occasionally produce an error "strPut:
incorrectly encoded UTF-8", even when no incorrectly coded
characters are used at all, has been fixed. It was the result of a
rare combination of strings having been added to the column that
caused essentially an off-by-one type of error to occur.
SQL Frontend
* A bug where a sequence of TRUNCATE TABLE and COPY INTO the just
truncated table would result in success being reported to both
queries, but the table still being empty afterwards, has been
fixed.
Merovingian
* When stopping monetdbd using the `monetdbd stop' command, this
command now waits for 5 seconds longer than the exittimeout value
before it kills the monetdbd daemon instead of only 30 seconds
total (or until that daemon stops earlier). This gives the daemon
enough time to terminate the mserver5 processes that it is
managing. If exittimeout is negative, the daemon and the monetdbd
process initiating the stop wait indefinitely until the mserver5
processes have stopped.
Bug Fixes
* 3336: DB files not removed if all rows are deleted, even after
restart
* 7104: Monetdbe NTILE function does not produce correct ordering
* 7108: Monetdb crashes on query execution
* 7109: MERGE Statement incorrectly reports that input relation
matches multiple rows
* 7110: Monetdb Query parsing consistency issues in the latest
release (Remote Table)
