Hi Myrna,
In addition to the comments which Kathey makes, I would add the following:
- I would amend the description of SQL Roles as follows:
"SQL Roles. SQL roles (as described in SQL 2003 and errata) are useful
for administering privileges for groups of users. Administering roles is
generally less error-prone than administering privileges for individual
users. SQL Roles are defined in Feature T331 "Basic roles" and Feature
T332 "Extended roles". Derby 10.5 implements a subset of T331, plus
support for CURRENT_ROLE, which is a part of T332."
- Generated Columns: "WHERE clauseSQL" -> "WHERE clause"
- The description of the ALTER COLUMN enhancement seems to have been
truncated.
- We should include 3652 in the list of fixed issues and in the section
of Issues which have release notes.
- Under "Build Environment", I think that we can remove the OSGi
blurb--there's nothing environment-specific about this part of the build
anymore.
Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks Myrna for working on the release notes. I have the following
initial comments from a quick look.
I think it would be good to include in the list of new features the
new stored procedure
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_UPDATE_STATISTICS (DERBY-269)
Under Generated Columns we have:
"The customer declares indexes on these columns." It would be better
to say user than customer
In-memory back end should mention that the feature is not yet
documented or fully implemented and the user interface may change, but
users are welcome to experiment with it.
The issues section says
Compared with the previous release (10.4.2.0), Derby release
10.5.0.1 introduces the following new features and
incompatibilities. These merit your special attention.
But the section doesn't really include new features.
Is one of the resolved issues that will be added DERBY-2991? That's
one of my favorite fixes and I don't see it.
That's it for now.
Kathey
