HP ELOQUENCE A.06.10 - patch 9805142

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a defect of the eloqdb6 program as released  
with A.06.10. This patch will be integrated in a subsequent  
HP Eloquence release.
You should have installed A.06.10 before applying this patch (it 
should work with previous A.06.xx releases as well, however this 
has not been verified).

This patch requires installation of patch PE61-9805141.


Fixed problems:
---------------

Platforms: All

* eloqdb6 could return an inconsistent value on the idb_scan_rec()
  API call. This causes an internal failure with eloqcore in the
  FIND statement. Assertion failed: tmp_recno == recno_buf_ptr[j]

* A new config directive has been added to eloqdb6. This can be used
  to disable the new A.06.10 scan API (which is used with FIND/SORT)
  and SQL/R 2.0. This is mainly intended as a performance test and 
  debug option. It causes FIND/SORT statement to revert to previous
  (before A.06.10) method.

  To disable the SCAN functionality, add the following to your
  eloqdb6.cfg configuration file.
  
  [Server]
  DisableScan = 1

  This configuration item defaults to 0 and should usually not be 
  specified.
