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
