MicroKernel Database Engine (MKDE)
Issue# Description
31776 Users will not be verified if they are in the local PervasiveAdmin group
but no PervasiveAdmin exists on the domain server
32571 Create table wizard slow on netware
32490 Under certain there may be incorrect sorting of Zstring keys by ISR code
32491 After accessing ISR based files MKDE may crash during shutdown
32545 Some ISRs missing from COLLATE.CFG
32261 MKDE does not always release exclusive file lock when it should causing
status 84 under certain conditions
32823 MKDE causes file corruption with sparse key numbering under heavy load;
file should be rebuilt and no data is lost
32958 Extended Get with 119 filters fails with status 62
33062 Potential file Corruption after a deadlock where multiple clients
receive a status 78; rebuild will recover all data/keys in file
33071 MKDE returns 84 on Insert when last record in the linked duplicate
chain is locked
33230 Status 2 on read-only open on write-protected removable media
33441 Performing a BUTIL -endbu /A with many active open files could, under
certain conditions, cause the engine to abend
33996 Phantom status 43s could be seen when file on disk was not in sync
with pages still in memory
33980 Starting continuous operations (on NetWare only) could cause an abend under
specific timing conditions
33841 Auto-Stop does not reset the client assigned to ISR handling
33850 Potential GPF in engine if page handling is being done when system runs
out of cache
33785 Key may be missing from table if 2 concurrent clients try to add the same
key value at the same time and using linked duplicate keys
33548 Status 94 received when Opening a file on a NetWare server if the client
attempting to open or create the file was not logged into and authenticated
by the NetWare server
33904 Not connecting when DNS name different than server machine name
33774 Poor performance on W9x because of a time() function call
34008 Allow GetEqual to return records when searching on a NULL value
34053 GPFs on GNE if one of the filter cond more than 265 bytes
34073 High stress conditions could cause a conflict when merging shadow pages
from memory to disk and cause the engine to GPF
34336 Creating a new file with segmented keys and while using multiple ACSs could
cause the file to be incorrectly created
34354 Btrieve Op 65, ExtStat, sub 4, always returns the key number of the
current path so if duplicate conflict happens on another path wrong key
number is returned
34402 MKDE needs to support v6 files with 'Hidden Data'
34449 NetWare MKDE can abend when merging concurrent ISR key page changes
34568 Optimization issue on Extended Gets with an index with multiple segments
34596 Clear blocking client info after status 84/85 after transaction is
completed
34642 GetPrevExt with No-wait lock should return one record with status 84
34713 Creating a file with a bad path name returns status 94 instead of 11 on NW6
34859 Phantom status 2 can be returned on a file after performing concurrent
transactions with delete operations where the keys being deleted were on
the same parent page
34862 NetWare CPU hog error could be returned if the machine is low on cache and
application is very I/O bound
34921 Potential status 5 returned with AUTOINC field if a delete removes the last
key value and then the next insert with the same transaction finds the last
key value to be lower than the current autoinc value for that file

prior to the insert 32992 SRDE could return status 84 when it should retry before returning status 32998 Calling Stored Procedures with external criteria such as a declared variable or a call

Distributed Tuning Interface (DTI)
Issue# Description
None
Pervasive Control Center (PCC) & SQL Data Manager (SQLDM)
Issue# Description
20213 Adding and removing columns over and over in the add database wizard
could cause a GPF in the wizard and also could cause some columns to
not be correctly inserted into the table.
20388 SQL statements with a space between the last character and the end of
line indicator would cause SQLDM to skip the next line.
22844 Precision of some datatypes is not correctly shown in Table
Information Manager.
22911 Cannot stop statement execution if machine runs out of memory
reading and caching statement.
23009 Hitting ENTER while editing new table information in the grid
causes the wizard to move to the next screen rather than the next
field in the grid.
23018 Inconsistent results when entering characters in the middle of an
existing data field when using the SQLDM grid.
24232 SQL statement erased if you hit cancel from the save/browse file name
window.
24331 PCC was allowing you to register a server name with more than 15
characters, but it was chopping off the characters over 15.
24380 Add ability to view RI constraints on a database to properties. BIT
columns showing as unknown in Table Information Manager.
24754 Check database fails if the table has a segmented index on an
autoinc field.
25135 Clicking on an empty row and then hitting the delete button would
cause the Create Table wizard to fail.
25497 Display problem with char fields in SQLDM. Last character would be
cut off, but column display could be resized and display would be
correct.
25526 Changing the statement separator to ";" would not take effect in
PCC until the tool was stopped and restarted.
25572 Query builder tool did not correctly format INSERT statements.
25806 Adding and removing relations between tables over and over could cause
the wizard to fail.
26835 Check DB was failing is there was a CHAR of 254 nullable field.
27025 After one bad index definition was found running Check DB, all
subsequent index tests would fail.
27240 Adding and removing data file and dictionary locations in the DBNames
config could potentially mess up other DBNames.cfg.
27264 If an index is set on a Btrieve LOGICALTYPE Check DB wizard would
return inconsistency errors.
27425 Create Table wizard does not build SQL statements using the same
Long Servernames in Novell Networks are being truncated and connect
Fails.
30308 If the file location is set to an invalid file the statistics window
appears blank and you cannot use that method to correct the incorrect
value.
30317 Changing the name of a column that has an index assigned to it would
fail.
30476 Indexes are always created in descending order when using the create
table wizard.
30665 If you save a query to a file, then open a different file and re-save
it, the save will incorrectly be under the first name and it will
overwrites your original queries.
31387 When sniffing an existing Btrieve file to create a table the wizard
correctly creates the file, but the SQL script displayed in the
wizard was sometimes missing the last field.
Monitor Utility
Issue# Description
24879 If file names of greater than 253 characters are open, monitor could
GPF when requesting active files or active users screens.
27988 User names with repeated first letter display wrong in monitor.
Gateway Locator Utility
Issue# Description
27821 Problem setting up locator file pointing to remote data access for a
local engine when the mapping from the client station is different.
Butil
Issue# Description
26460 Butil -save, Butil -recover, the /j option is not working.
