Features¶
FEATURE 183 Oracle 18c introduced the concept of a private temporary table, a memory-based temporary table that is dropped at the end of the transaction. You can now use private temporary table with DataStar provided your tables definitions do not contain BLOB or CLOB columns as these are not currently supported by Oracle. You can specify this prefix to enable private temporary table on a per component basis in the template using the "PttTablePrefix" attribute. The PRIVATE_TEMP_TABLE_PREFIX initialisation parameter, which defaults to "ORA$PTT", defines the prefix that must be used in the name when creating the private temporary table. To enable private temporary tables set the "PttTablePrefix" attribute to the PRIVATE_TEMP_TABLE_PREFIX value (for example "ORA$PTT_").
FEATURE 184 DataStar.Tools now supports running multiple manifests provided you can identify the work item from the manifest file name using a regular expressions. See the work item parameter description to see how to use this feature. Note that each work item is processed in a separate transaction, therefore a failure in the deployment will only rollback the current work item being processed.
FEATURE 185 SqlServer Object Templates now supports generating a CREATE OR ALTER if it is supported by the database version.
