NonStop SQL/MP
Starting in G06.23, EasySetup allows use of ZSPI definition files installed other than in
the default location and allows use of a nondefault ISV disk for OSS.
NonStop SQL/MP
In general, when migrating to a new version of HP NonStop SQL/MP software, you
should be reasonably sure you do not want to revert to the previous version of the
software before you perform any of these actions:
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP catalog whose version is newer than the previous
version of the NonStop SQL/MP software. This situation occurs automatically when
you create a catalog on a node running the new version of the software.
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP table using new features that cause the version of the
table to be newer than the previous version of NonStop SQL/MP software.
•
Compile a program using the new version of the NonStop SQL/MP compiler.
NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0 (G06.23, G06.24, and G06.25)
See the G06.23 Release Version Update Compendium, the Interactive Upgrade Guide,
and the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide for more information about
migrating to SQL/MX Release 2.0. See also the SQL/MX Comparison Guide for
SQL/MP Users and the T0650ABA softdoc, which is the master softdoc for software
components included in SQL/MX Release 2.0, and the T7969ABA ODBC/MX Services
softdoc.
SQL/MX Release 2.0 delivers the newly architected, standards-based SQL/MX tables
for NonStop servers. SQL/MX Release 2.0 provides general availability support for
operations against SQL/MP tables. G06.25 includes the set of ABA SPRs that were
released as early product delivery for SQL/MX support of SQL/MX tables between
G06.24 and G06.25. This set of SPRs provides defect repair for MP tables and some
new features for SQL/MX tables. Changes have also been made to EMS templates;
these templates will be installed as part of the normal installation process.
Note. SQL/MX Release 2.0 requires processors that support IEEE floating-point functions. All
processors in a node on which SQL/MX Release 2.0 is installed must be Model 1954 (S72000)
or later. A processor halt%005101 can result when one or more processors in a system do not
meet the minimum hardware requirements for installing SQL/MX Release 2.0.
In addition to supporting IEEE floating-point functions, a NonStop system on which SQL/MX
Release 2.0 is installed must support the SQL/MX minimum requirement of 1 GB per
processor. Therefore, the S74, S7000, and S7400 cannot be used because they do not
support the minimum memory requirement.For more information about the SQL/MX hardware
and memory requirements, see the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide.
