iX V6.5 (30391-90011)

What's New in this Edition

TurboIMAGE/XL version C.07.04 or later includes the following enhancements:

Jumbo Data Sets

By using the JUMBO option of $CONTROL, data sets can be greater than 4 GBytes.

B-Tree Indices

Provides the capability for wildcard and range searches. A new chapter 11 was added on

this topic.

Dynamic Roll-Back of Multiple Database Transactions

This enhancement is an extension of the dynamic roll-back (DBX) feature to include

multiple databases.

Dynamic Master Data Set Expansion

Dynamic master data set expansion allows a master data set to be expanded dynamically

(up to a new maximum capacity speciﬁed in the root ﬁle) during DBPUT when the data set

space is exhausted. To facilitate the dynamic master data set expansion enhancement,

DBSCHEMA, DBUTIL, and some of the TurboIMAGE/XL intrinsics are enhanced.

Support for TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-On-line Backup in

DBRECOV

TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-On-line Backup can be used to backup the database even when

open if the option ONLINE=START or ONLINE=END is used. DBRECOV will recover such a

database using logﬁles.

Native-mode Utilities

DBUTIL and DBSCHEMA are now native-mode utility programs.

New Modes for DBINFO and DBFIND

DBINFO, DBFIND, and DBCONTROL have additional modes for handling B-Tree index ﬁles

and master data set expansion.

New DBUTIL Commands and Options

These new DBUTIL commands are added: DETACH, REDO, DO, LISTREDO, ADDINDEX,

DROPINDEX, and REBUILDINDEX. A new INDEXED option is added for the SHOW command.

Enhanced Database Integrity

The DBPUT and DBUPDATE intrinsics check the integrity of neighboring entries to detect

possible data corruption before inserting into a chain.

Scalability

TurboIMAGE/XL is enhanced to increase the concurrency of modiﬁcation intrinsics,

DBPUT, DBDELETE, and DBUPDATE (Critical Item Update feature ON).
