Release Notes Version 4.4.Q1


Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.
Introduction
The Release Notes provides information about the product's new features, fixes, and known
problems for Knowledge Based Systems' VARs and enterprise clients. The features are
documented to provide the reader with information regarding the purpose of the feature and its
intended use. Key fixes are documented to provide the problem definition and possible
symptoms of the problem. Known problems are documented to provide a detailed description of
the problem, situations that may cause the problem, and in situations where possible, a
workaround.

Release Notes Version 4.4.Q1 1


Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.
New Features
KB_SQL Server
All new feature provides organized approach to file downloads.
Any query that uses the FORMAT parameter to download results to a host file, can now use the
SQL_FILE_IMAGE method to use the new image processing feature. Images are saved on the
server to be retrieved by the client. Several advantages include being able to run as a
background process, being able to preview the result before saving, and saving the result to
multiple locations.

Extensions to READ command for hints and lookups


Two new features are added to the READ command, including: HINT and LOOKUP
specification. Both enhancements are designed to reduce errors from queries that run correctly
but with the wrong input values.

The HINT extension provides a short reminder to the user of what they are expected to enter in a
prompt. The HINT is available via the [HELP] key.

The LOOKUP extension allows a runtime list of values to be presented to the user. This can be a
simple list of all unique column values in a dictionary table. It can also be the result of a
complex stored procedure with application specific logic. The list is available via the [LIST] key
at runtime.

Release Notes Version 4.4.Q1 2


Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.
KB_SQL ODBC Driver
Automatic adjustment of communication buffer based on server settings.
For M Technology (MUMPS) environments that allow very large strings to be stored in globals,
we now automatically adjust the TCP/IP communication buffer to maximize performance.

Change to password encryption for values sent over TCP/IP connection.


The original algorithm forced the user input to uppercase prior to encrypting the value. This was
a problem for those customers who were performing custom authentication on the server. The
new algorithm decrypts to the original input value. The server will support older users of the
ODBC Driver using the former algorithm, as well as those really old versions that don’t do any
encryption.

Note: The KB_SQL ODBC Driver v4.4 requires the matching version of the KB_SQL Server
v4.4.

Release Notes Version 4.4.Q1 3


Knowledge Based Systems, Inc.
KB_SQL QRE Professional
Improved Queue Inspector
The Queue Inspector is modified to include a navigator control, making it easier to work with
large lists of tasks. The delete behavior is corrected to match that of the HALT TASK
procedure, deleting waiting tasks but requesting running tasks to stop. The automatic refresh is
removed in favor of a manual one. Multiple tasks can be selected for delete using a check box
mechanism.

New File Image Inspector


This is a totally new feature, designed to allow the user to create formatted files destined for
storage on their workstation. Using a new method named SQL_FILE_IMAGE, any query with a
FORMAT specification can now run in the background and save its result on the server. The
File Image Inspector allows access to those saved images. You can preview the result making
sure that the format is correct. You can save the image to a local (or network) drive. You can
purge the image from the server when you are done with it. You can also delete any images
from your File Image list.

New READ hints and lookups


When running a query with prompts, you will have access to the HINT and/or LOOKUP
specification. If included, the HINT text will show as a tool tip text when you hover over the
input field. Likewise, if a LOOKUP is specified, you will have a mechanism to view a list for
selection.

Password change supported from QRE Professional


Users with the “Allow renew after expiration?” value set to ‘Yes’ will be allowed to change their
password from within QRE. Other users must contact their Database Administrator (DBA) to
request new or renewed passwords.

957 A problem was corrected that affected the use of DML


(insert/update/delete) queries from MSAccess.
952 A problem was corrected in the Query AbortCheck logic.
When using the RUN statement to send output to a set of
queries that involved both a logical device and a hostfile, it
was possible for output to be corrupted.
946 A problem was corrected with the Query Info screen in the
SQL Editor procedure. It was allowing too many characters
for a valid query name. It is corrected to limit the length to 30
characters.
944 The setting of ‘Allow Multiple Queues per User’ can now be
set dynamically so that the Queue Manager will adjust without
having to be stopped and restarted.
942 A problem was corrected with the INSERT from FILE
command using the delimited format.
930 When using the default table filer builder routine,
TABLE^SQL0S, it will now skip columns that have
ChangeSequence = 0.
927 A problem was corrected with the display of error messages
for host expressions that have unbalanced parentheses.
922 The START DATE EDIT procedure now labels the prompts
correctly. There is a new prompt for “Initial Execute” as well
as one for “Re-Submit Execute”.
921 The list presented for a READ LOOKUP can have a
corruption in the display of the box border. This could occur
when the length of the column name was longer than the
column data values.
920 Stored procedures that use default values for input parameters
will accept either null or empty string values for host
expressions.
919 The query planner will increment the count of acceptable plans
correctly when the query has a large number of tables on the
FROM clause.
918 The RESET^SQL function will cleanup the database of
handles, including hEnv, hDbc, hStmt, and hUser. It will also
rollback any transactions started by the RESET process.
908 READ prompts handler now correctly displays ‘NO’ for
FLAG values set to ‘NO’.
905 Error messages returned to ODBC Driver will now include the
build number as part of the information.

Release Notes Version 4.4.Q1 6

KBS Description Answer ID
Number

897 Corrected problem with SQLNativeSql function that could


cause <UNDEF> error.
896 A new domain, TEXTSTRING, is added to support those
customers who store long text values as a single database
node.
895 The STOP^SQL0SVR function is now faster on the MSE
database environment. The change avoids spawning a new job
only to have that job stop after waiting approximately 20
seconds for acknowledgement from its peer.
889 Very large results for SQL Catalog functions could be
processed incorrectly, sometimes sending previously supplied
result values to the client. This problem was responsible for
the “duplicate column” errors in MS Access.
888 New parameters allow header and footer rows to be included
on files using HTML_TABLE format.
• HTML_TABLE_CAPTION
• HTML_TABLE_HEADER
• HTML_TABLE_FOOTER
Each value accepts a string literal value. The CAPTION value
is a synonym for the TITLE parameter. The header and footer
values use the THEAD and TFOOT html constructs.
884 The external entry RUNQ^SQL now correctly releases locks
on referenced subqueries.
876 A new query parameter is added to control length of sortkey
values. Use MAX_SORTKEY_LENGTH to override site
setting for ‘Maximum sort key length’. The default is 30
characters. This feature can be helpful when trying to sort on
long descriptions.
875 The temporary global ^SQLRD is maintained immediately
after use. For ODBC queries, this global is used to store
partial results. Once returned to the client application, the data
should be removed.
871 A new menu option is added to display the LOCK HISTORY
REPORT. This report shows the history of set and clear
operations for the KB_SQL system locks. See the
\UTILITIES\TRANSACTION LOGS menu.
870 The COMPILE ALL QUERIES option is placed lower on the
menu option list to avoid accidental selection. The first
position is now occupied by the JOB WATCH option.
869 A new menu option is added to display the FILE IMAGE
TRANSACTIONS report. This report shows activities related
to the creation, saving, purging, and deleting of file images.

867 When clearing the Server API Cache, some routines could be
left behind. Typically, these routines were extensions (e.g.,
SQLY123A) from the numbered base routine (e.g.,
SQLY123). They are now deleted as appropriate.
866 Server API routines are allocated sequentially, starting with 1
and running up through the maximum number of routines
allocated.
865 The QUERY TRANSACTIONS report now uses the DATE
index to improve processing performance.
859 When the ‘Prompt for start date/time’ is enabled through the
SITE EDIT procedure, a dialog is raised to allow runtime
specification of the start date and time for the query. If either
of these values is set in the query via the START_DATE or
START_TIME parameters, those values will be respected.
854 Changing the SITE EDIT defaults for DATE and TIME
formats will now automatically recompile the necessary stored
procedures so that QRE will show the values appropriately.
853 Pseudo column SITE_ID is renamed to SQL_SITE_ID due to
conflict with client usage.
849 A foreign key column named QUERY_LINK is added to the
SQL_QUERY_LINE table, making it easier to join with data
from the SQL_QUERY table.
830 The \SYSTEM STATUS\QUERY QUEUE option will now
behave exactly as the \UTILTIES\HALT QUERY option.
Members of the DBAS and SYS_MGRS groups will see all
tasks. Other members will see just those tasks that they have
submitted.
829 The TCP/IP handler is corrected so that it always has access to
the message package size parameter, avoiding use of the
default. In some cases where the default was very small,
network performance was degraded.
804 When using the DELIMITED file type, all ASCII values from
0 through 255 are now valid for use as the DELIMITER.
803 The TABLE STATISTICS compiler now places primary key
POST_SELECT_EXECUTE code after VALIDATE_KEY
code. When these two existed in a table, the results were not
as expected.
802 Errors that occur in “batch” queries are now handled
appropriately.
801 Product base routine prefixes, including SQLR and SQLX, are
marked as internal. No edits are allowed.
789 Add LOOKUP feature to READ prompts, allowing a run-time
list selection to collect user input.

788 Add HINT feature to READ prompts, allowing access to a


run-time hint to help the user understand the prompt
requirement.
784 Queries that include multiple GRANT and REVOKE
commands will now process correctly.
783 Output format references in DDLI scripts were incorrect to
require names to be like SQL identifiers. This is corrected.
781 Default statistics are included for certain system tables.
779 We can now support client-defined encryption algorithms.
778 Errors that cause the Server to abort are now collected and
stored in the EXCEPTION LOG.
777 The TEST^SQL0TCP utility now allows the user to specify
the number of connection attempts. Note that this feature is
useful for testing the TCP/IP connectivity. It is not available
for the MSE version.
776 Error messages were being truncated, especially on the GT.M
version. This is corrected.
775 The SQL_FN_TIMESTAMPADD function is corrected for
behaviors related to adding and subtracting months.
774 The SQL_FN_TIMESTAMPADD and
SQL_FN_TIMESTAMPDIFF functions now handle situations
where adding months to a date value falls on a non-existent
day. For example, adding one month to the date 2004-01-31
resolves to 2004-02-29, effectively the last day of the month.
771 Queries referenced by the RUN command are now
automatically compiled as needed, whether at compile or
runtime.
748 When the SITE EDIT setting for ‘Fail queries with fixed value
predicates’ is disabled, the runtime warning is suppressed.
742 The query parameter TXLOG_VERBOSE is fixed so that it
controls transaction logging for the query.
687 EVERYHOUR custom start rule now respects the
START_TIME setting, to run every hour at the specified time.
If START_TIME is not set, the task will run at the top of the
hour.
683 Setting of system locks will now be tracked, with a report
showing when, why, and who set the lock. See the report at
\UTILITIES\TRANSACTION LOGS\LOCK HISTORY
REPORT.
642 In cases where a host expression is used as a READ prompt, a
LIKE predicate, and in a WRITE command, the value will
now display correctly.

596 Queries that use the FORMAT parameter can now use the
SQL_FILE_IMAGE method to save output on the server.
Through the File Image Inspector, the file can be retrieved
later and saved to a host file on the user system.
492 A new utility routine, SQL0CDL, along with supporting
DOMAIN, KEY FORMAT, and FUNCTION definitions,
provide KB_SQL mapping for InterSystems Objects that use
Default Storage strategy. Note that this feature is only enabled
on the Cache version of KB_SQL.
266 For user defined tables, the DELETE command will run much
faster when deleting all rows from the table.

KB_SQL ODBC Driver Fixes
KBS Description Answer ID
Number

906 Error messages generated from the ODBC Driver will now
include the build number in order to assist with diagnostics.
904 When the response to the SQLConnect function was
SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO (1), the ODBC Driver was
treating this as a failure to connect. This is evident when
connecting with a password that is about to expire. The
warning message will now raise a message box if appropriate
and will allow the connection.
898 The ODBC Driver installer is modified to only save files that
have a newer version than the one currently saved on the client
system. The user is not prompted.
883 The original password encryption algorithm forced the user
input to uppercase prior to encrypting the value. This was a
problem for those customers who were performing custom
authentication on the server. The new algorithm decrypts to
the original input value. The server will support older users of
the ODBC Driver using the former algorithm, as well as those
really old versions that don’t do any encryption.
872 A problem was corrected with the handling of TEXT data type
values.

Note: The KB_SQL ODBC Driver v4.4 requires the latest version of the KB_SQL Server v4.4.

956 When moving between Query Read Prompts, the text box will
be highlighted so that new input will overwrite the previously
stored value.
945 The user can now cancel the initial load of the data dictionary
repository.
943 The [undo] and [redo] buttons are corrected.
941 The query delete function is corrected so that it will always
perform a check-in of the deleted query.
939 A problem was corrected with the display of Query Properties.
937 The navigators for Queue Inspector, File Inspector, and Query
Read Prompts will now support keyboard navigation:
• pgUp (previous page)
• pgDn (next page)
• Home (first page)
• End (last page)
931 A problem was corrected that caused the ‘filename’ dialog to be
suppressed based on the characteristics of a previous query.
929 A problem was corrected when dealing with very large lists in
the Query Read Prompts function.
928 A problem was corrected for Query Read Prompts so that
skipped prompts are set to nothing prior to processing of the
query.
926 A problem was corrected in the Query Read Prompts list view
to not allow edits of values in the display.
925 A problem was corrected in the Query Read Prompts so that
navigating forward or backward will set the default selection
appropriately.
924 The forms used for the display of READ PROMPTS and
READ LOOKUPS have been improved.
(a) The READ PROMPTS window can remember its
position.
(b) The READ LOOKUPS window will appear just below
the [List] button for the prompt.
(c) The navigator and buttons are oriented to the bottom of
the form.
(d) The column widths are correct according to the database
information.
923 Users can now close the Explorer window and it will remain
closed in subsequent sessions. This allows the Query Manager
window to use more space on the screen.

and enter the asterisk "*" as the search text. This will show the
entire list of accessible queries for the user.
901 Query read prompt values will be saved to the server as they are
entered, rather than once via the “Ok” button. This is to satisfy
dependencies with stored procedure based lookups.
894 When using the ScreenPreview function, the user can now
attempt to stop a query that is unresponsive.
892 The cross-references are corrected to support the “Other”
search options available to QRE Professional. Previously, only
a fraction of the cross-references were being updated.
833 Where possible, menu options are enabled only when the
feature is allowed. Otherwise, the menu option is dimmed.
832 The Table Inspector now uses lists for input of the from and
thru table names, avoiding errors from user input.
821 For users with SELECT but not UPDATE privileges, the query
will be opened in read-only mode.
820 For users without query edit qualifications (e.g., RUN only
users), the Recent Queries list will be those queries recently run
by the user. Selecting a query will open in read-only mode.
811 The Queue Inspector will now set the halt flag to stop running
queries. Previously, the task would be deleted from the queue.
The halt flag setting is consistent with the behavior of the
HALT QUERY procedure.
810 For the user that does not have priviliges to edit queries, the
Recent Queries list will include those queries recently run by
the user. Otherwise, the list contains the queries most recently
edited by the user.
808 In the Table Inspector, non-programmer users will not be
allowed to view global documentation. Note that members of
the DBAS group are not restricted.
800 The Queue Inspector has improved handling of long lists of
tasks, using a paging navigator to show 20 tasks on each page.
799 The query properties dialog will now show the last compile and
last run information.
795 A confirmation dialog will be presented for any attempt to
delete information from the Data Dictionary Explorer.
794 The Queue Inspector now provides the ability to print the queue
contents.
793 The Queue Inspector window can remain open while doing
other work in QRE. Note that this applies also to the File
Image Inspector.

750 The “other” query search options have been improved. You
can search on functions, pseudo columns, and command names
that are referenced by queries. Note that the query must be
compiled in order for the cross-reference to show.
727 When using the screen preview, we present a default of 1000
rows for the search and select limits. Regardless of these
settings, any query that would retrieve more than 1mb of result
data will be truncated. This is an effort to avoid runaway
queries and unwanted result sets.
724 A new option on the File menu allows the user to create a copy
of the active query. The default name is the same as the open
query, with _COPY appended.
700 The Queue Inspector allows multiple tasks to be selected for
delete using a checked box approach. A similar approach is
used in the File Image Inspector.
674 A new option allows access to the QUERY PRINT report. The

Known Problems
Below are some of the known problems that still exist in this release. For updates on these or
other known problems, please visit our website.

KBS Customer Incident # Answer ID
Number

955 The LIKE and FIND functions can fail to find strings when
the value is split across nodes in the temporary storage
area. This can sometimes be overcome by using a large
value for the GVMAX setting.
874 SQLColumns reports incorrect COLUMN_SIZE for view
columns based on expressions.

This error manifests itself in MSAccess by retrieving only


20 characters (the default size) for view columns based on
expressions.

The problem is that SQLColumns can only retrieve the


column size from the base_column definition. In the case
of an expression, there is no base_column reference.
760 In some circumstances, when a query is run from the
background queue, and that query has to be compiled, the
query can run without being “locked”.
712 The query planner can sometimes consider “bad” plans
despite an apparently high setting for the COST_CEILING
parameter.
694 In some cases, where two adjacent tasks in the background
queue run the same query, and that query is open for
editing, the background queue will be stalled until that
query lock is released.
614 In some cases, illegal event block command references can
go untrapped by the SQL language parser. An example is
the typo “INTIAL” meant to be the INITIAL event. The
parser goes right past this without a warning.
572 In some cases, tables submitted to the statistics queue using
a non-zero sample size can remain in the queue, trying
over and over to calculate stats.
455 In some cases, views using an outer join query that
includes a constraint on the non-preserved table, can fail.
