OpenEdge 11 - Progress Software

*New ABL functionality for OpenEdge 11.2 includes:
12. Session-level support for Structured Error Handling.
www.progress.com
Prior to OpenEdge 11.2, Structured Error Handling worked only at the
routine level (procedures, functions, methods, and “ON” triggers). OpenEdge
11.2 introduces a new statement and new startup parameter that allow an
ABL programmer to utilize the UNDO/THROW ERROR directive within all
blocks in a source file.
13. Sub-second capability for the PAUSE statement.
Previously, the PAUSE statement had a minimum value of one
second. In OpenEdge 11.2 the PAUSE statement can now be use with
sub-second timing.
14. “DefaultScrolling” startup option.
A new -defaultscrolling startup option causes DEFINE QUERY
statements to default to SCROLLING, guaranteeing the possibility of
pre-fetching when resolving an ABL query over a network.
15. Offset and fetch for SQL query result sets.
When processing the result set from a SQL query, instead of having
to load the entire result set to process it, OpenEdge 11.2 allows an application
query to define an offset within the result set and fetch a limited number of
rows at the offset. This direct access to only a piece of the result set can lead
to faster query execution and may better suit the needs of applications where
an entire result set is unnecessary.
DATASERVER
1. MS SQL Server DataServer CLOB support
OpenEdge 11 adds support for the OpenEdge CLOB datatype to the
DataServer for MS SQL Server, allowing a CLOB field in OpenEdge to be
migrated and pulled against MS SQL Server.
*New DataServer functionality for OpenEdge 11.1 includes:
2. Update to Version 7.0 of Progress DataDirect Connect and
Connect64 for ODBC drivers
OpenEdge 11.1 embeds Progress DataDirect’s 32-bit and 64-bit
Version 7.0 drivers for ODBC DataServers.
