Chapter 6. What's new in DODS 7.0-3

This chapter lists the new or updated features associated with DODS.

- Added <UseTopSyntax> tag in <dbVendorConf>.xml file. If set to true, DODS generates "TOP" keyword in SQL statement with value defined by maxDBrows attribute of Query object. With "TOP" keyword is defined maximum numbers of rows that can be retrieved from database (patch for Microsoft SQL Server 2005).

- Added patches in query cache mechanism for queries that contain security constraints and use database limit. Query results that had execly the same number of results as databaseLimit were retrieved from the database instead from the cache. Now, they are retrieved from the cache.

- Added logs for synchronous cache initialization.

- Patches to prevent exhausting connection pool, thanks to Joao Paulo Ribeiro.

- Applied patches for DB vendor-independant read/write of BLOBs in OracleDriverDependences, thanks to Monique Maker.
