Rel version 1.0.1 Beta now available

Post by Dave »

This version of Rel is a maintenance release.

The following bugs have been fixed:

1) Given a relation with a relation-valued attribute having cardinality 0, e.g.:

EXTEND S {S#} ADD (RELATION {TUPLE {S# S#}} COMPOSE SP AS SP_result)

Ungrouping this relation caused a Java exception, e.g.:

EXTEND S {S#} ADD (RELATION {TUPLE {S# S#}} COMPOSE SP AS SP_result)
UNGROUP (SP_result)

This has been corrected.

2) A bug in RENAME made it possible to create duplicate attribute names. E.g.:

sys.Catalog RENAME (Definition AS Name)

This has been corrected.

3) Due to a bug in the mechanisms that compare values of user-defined types when
used in relvar attributes, certain expressions like S JOIN SP JOIN P returned
bogus results. This has been corrected.

4) GROUP with multiple AS clauses, or performing GROUP on a relation
with relation-valued attributes, e.g...

(sys.Catalog GROUP ({isVirtual, Name} as Blah, {Owner} as Blah2))

...threw a Java exception. This has been corrected.

5) DBrowser incorrectly displayed RATIONAL values of NaN, -Infinity and Infinity.
This has been corrected.
