Igor have made great job improving speed of reports generation on linux, which uses the FreeType library (instead of wxWidgets+OS like on WIN/MAC). As result, time of report of one developer go down from 3 second to 0.3.
Actually FreeType library can be used on MAC and WIN. Just no big sense because it was much slower.
Now we see sense to enable TWO render-engines on MAC/WIN and be able switch them runtime. This will be useful for building of automated test-system for reports.
RAISE statement now can accept not only NUMER and STRING constants, but also variable of a stored procedure.
RAISE errNumber, errMsg
Up to now the statement RAISE did have syntax as:
raise errNumber [, errMsg]
Now it is
raise [errNumber [, errMsg]]
Except syntax also is implemented additional logic:
raise without parameters means throw the same exception forward.
BEGIN
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(1);
EXCEPTION
WHEN 23503 THEN
PRINT 'Unique violation'
RAISE;
END;
