New Dataserver features going from version 7.3 to 8.0B

What is new between 7.3 and 8.0B Unix version?

Oracle & Sybase Dataservers
----------------------------
* Field list support
Minimizes network traffic; especially effective in scrolled
regions displaying a small subset of fields from large records.
* SQL engine II
More robust implementation of industry standard SQL interface.
* Enhanced Query/Optimization/Record Selection
Minimizes network traffic and better utilizes server capabilities.

Oracle Dataserver
------------------
* Enhanced network performance via improved message buffering.
* Complete support for Oracle Hints and Synonyms.
Improved the ability to sent Oracle hints to the Oracle
optimizer and allows for more generic programs to be written.

Sybase Dataserver

* Certified with support for Sybase 10/11.

Note - When upgrading to 8.0B; you need to recreate your schemaholder
by creating a new empty progress database using 8.0B and then
loading a copy of definations (.df) dumped from version 7.3x
schemaholder OR doing a "schemapull". The steps to do a
"schemapull" in Windows are:
(Data Admin->Dataservers->Oracle utilities->Add/Update table
definations).

CISAM dataserver support is in 8.0B.
