SOFTWARE RELEASE: 6.2F

SOFTWARE NOTES:
o This release was ported with ORACLE Version 6.
o This release supports Embedded SQL (HLI) for C.
o Online Backups
--------------
The use of the -o (overlap factor) is not supported in this
release; you must restore the incremental backups exactly the
same way as you did when you backed them up or you will have
problems. For example,
proshut demo -C online /dev/rst8
proshut demo -C online /dev/rst8 incremental -o 2
After restoring the full backup, if you skip any of the
incrementals, you receive an error message indicating that
the tapes are out of sequence and the restore fails.
Workaround: Make sure all backups are restored in exact order.
o Fast Track (convft)
-------------------
If you use the convft utility to convert your database to a
Fast Track database, you must set the PROEXE environment
variable first:
PROEXE=/usr/dlc/_progres;export PROEXE
convft database-name
o Fast Track (500 file limit)
---------------------------
Unlike earlier versions, Fast Track Version 6.2F enables you
to choose from more than 500 files when creating QBF's,
reports or forms. Now there is no limit to the number of
files you can select. However, because of internal changes to
the Fast Track code, you must recompile any QBF's or menus
generated with earlier versions of Fast Track to run them
under Version 6.2F.
o Index Deactivation
------------------
If you are deactivating indexes, do it through the Index
Editor. Deactivating indexes through the Admin menu in
the Dictionary will deactivate the top index.
For example:
In the customer file there are three indexes, Cust-num,
State, and Zip. If you choose to deactivate Zip, it
deactivates Cust-num.
o ORACLE ldemo
------------
The ldemo script that resides in subdirectory ora in
the directory where you install PROGRESS
(e.g., /usr/dlc/ora/ldemo) will not work with the
Query/Runtime or Runtime product. It makes schema
modifications which these products do not support.
