Linked tables: for DECIMAL column, Oracle reports precision 0 and scale -127. A workaround has been implemented.

New database setting OPTIMIZE_IN_SELECT (enabled by default for version 1.3.x). If enabled, IN(SELECT...) conditions are faster if there are many rows in the table or subquery.

TCP Server: a base directory with a prefix with a database name with prefix didn't work as expected (this only applies to non-disk and wrapped file systems).

Version 1.3: when re-running the same query so that the previous result was re-used, and if the result set was large so that it was stored externally (in a temp file or in a temp table), then reading rows from both result sets resulted in an exception or wrong behavior.

A new sample application that shows how to create a read-only database in a zip file where the database file is split into multiple smaller parts.

The wrong error message was thrown when trying to open a database where the database file could not be read for some reason (for example because the split file system was used, and the file was split at the wrong position).

The scan-resistant cache type "TQ" (two queue) is again available. To use it, append ;CACHE_TYPE=TQ to the database URL.

Opening a database with a corrupt split file must lead to a database exception, not a "Database may be already in use" exception

There was a memory leak in the trace system. Opening and closing many connections could run out of memory.

Server tool: the tcpShutdown feature now also stops other servers (web server and PostgreSQL server).
