Britten: # 52609 (BDUX44216): bdbreconfig: suppress back-up for non-atomic 
reconfig

Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:06:01 +0100 (CET)

Created on:  Britten
Type:        enhancement

Problem Description (Customer terms)
During an upgrade from FP3 to FP6 the table tfgld482 needs to be reconfigured.
The size of the columns dim1, dim2, dim3, dim4 and dim5 must be changed from
6 to 9. Because MSQL cannot handle this in one statement, bdbreconfig creates
a back-up of the table (table dump) and then executes 5 statements on the 
database, one for each column modification. 

In particular scenarios this back-up is not needed, for example because the 
customer already backed-up the entire database. It should be possible to 
instruct bdbreconfig not to create the back-up, which will save considerable
time.


Test Procedure
See Problem Description (Customer terms). 

Affected Executables
bdbreconfig (resource bdbreconfig_suppress_backup)
all database drivers (for enhanced logging)

Created on:  MaintBartok
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
If a subquery contains a table with an MLE column, then the SQL statement sent
to the database always contains joins to the shadow table for each additional
language, even if the data from the shadow table is not used.

This may have a severe impact on performance, because the database must access
the shadow table for each additional language.

and observe that the SQL statement sent to the database does not contain joins
on the shadow table.
