Re: Folders for scripts and backups

That seems reasonable. I'll add it to my 'To Do' list.

Re: Spurious sytax error with INSERT

I see the problem -- it's with the mechanism in the DBrowser front-end that tries to detect whether you've entered an expression or one or more statements. It's surprisingly complex and it can be fooled. In this case, it's being fooled into thinking you've entered an expression by the slashes '//', ...

Re: Spurious sytax error with INSERT

I'll do some tests on this to see if I can find a workaround. I know EXTEND can expose a grammar ambiguity (I don't recall the specifics, but I know it does) and this is likely related to it.

Re: insert sometimes doesn't insert anything

Sorry for the slow response - I've been on holiday. This sounds like a bug in transaction handling; maybe the INSERT has written in a "write" transaction but is being read in a "read" transaction whilst the "write" transaction is still open and uncommitted. I've examine...

Re: RENAME in V3.013 incompatible with previous versions

It's an effect of making RENAME parallel. An expression like REL {TUP {X1 1}} RENAME {SUFFIX '1' AS '', X AS Y} now fails because for a parallel rename to work, the <old_name> of each <old_name> AS <new_name> pair must exist in the tuple/relation operand expression. By the way, apologies for the slo...

Re: IMPLIES via IF THEN

The trailing END IF, END CASE, or just END is needed to disambiguate the end of the conditional subexpression from the remainder of the expression.

Re: Why is NOT IN not interpreted

I suppose it could be added as a Rel-specific extension, but I don't recall Tutorial D specifying NOT IN or equivalent.

Re: WITH not available in a WHERE condition

I've looked into this and have reminded myself why it works the way it does. There is a parsing ambiguity when using WITH (and similarly, TUPLE FROM, FROM, and TCLOSE) within WHERE, which I'll illustrate with an example. Given the following expression: WHERE WITH (p := x * 3): p > 2 AND x = 7 Does A...

Re: Scroll bar disappears in Rel mode

I've found a problem with resizing the Rel window when in "Rel" mode and using "Edit" to edit relvar contents. Whilst I haven't been able to precisely replicate the scrollbars disappearing, I suspect that problem and the resizing problem are related.

I'm working on fixing it.
