Welcome to the DB2 Everyplace Version 8.2 release notes.
These release notes contain information about new features, enhancements, and updated procedures in the Version 8.2 release of the DB2 Everyplace.
The following functions have been added or enhanced:
Different threads within one process (for example, from Java) can have their own connection to the same DB2 Everyplace database.
The length for constraint statements and default values has been increased to 32767 bytes from 512 bytes (constraint) and 128 bytes (default values).
I/O flushes that update the database are handed to the operating system or pushed directly to the storage media after a COMMIT (in manual commit mode) or after completion of the SQL statement (in autocommit mode). An attribute changes this behavior on Windows(R) and Linux on x86 only.
By supporting the DbEdit Eclipse plug-in, DB2 Everyplace provides various additional metadata methods to perform new database operations
JDBC applications can set default statement attributes at connection time.
DB2 Everyplace applications can now set statement properties at connection time as a connection property.
The DB2 Everyplace database JDBC getString() method called on a TIMESTAMP column returns a timestamp in ISO format "YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.ZZZZZZ". This is different from the JDBC timestamp escape format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFFFFFFFF". DB2 UDB version 8 JDBC returns a timestamp in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:FFFFFF".
