Release Bulletin for Digital UNIX
• Improved stored procedure output Stored procedures now display
output in units that are easier to understand.
• Minimum password length Database administrators can specify a
minimum password length, to discourage easily discovered passwords.
For more information, see “MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH option” on
page 42
• ODBC 3.51 The ODBC driver has been updated to ODBC 3.51. This
version of ODBC includes support for Unicode applications.
For more information, see “ODBC conformance” in the online edition of
the Adaptive Server Anywhere Programming Interfaces Guide, Version
6.02.
• Control of allowed JOIN syntax In previous releases, some multi-
table queries have been allowed that have ambiguous join clauses. In the
present release, you can set an option to disallow such queries.
For more information, see “EXTENDED_JOIN_SYNTAX option” on
page 28.
• Zero-length data storage If the length of a CHAR or VARCHAR cell is

cell, not a NULL. This change reverts to the original behavior in Adaptive
Server IQ 12, as documented Chapter 5 of the Adaptive Server IQ
Administration and Performance Guide.
