• The introduction of NonStop SQL/MX version 2.3 software, with the following new features:
  – Provides an online variant of the POPULATE INDEX and

  – Projects only the requested number of table rows, instead of
     scanning the complete table
  – Introduces a new Control Query Default (CQD) statement

• Upgrade of the C++ Version 3 runtime library (ZCPP3DLL) to the latest release of the Dinkumware C++ runtime library, which supports the ISO/IEC IS I4882 language specification and upgrades the exception-handling mechanism in the Version Neutral DLL (ZCPPDLL) for improved performance

• An increase in the maximum number of jobs supported by HP NetBatch software from 9,999 to 32,767

• ANSI SQL names support in HP Measure software to allow a NonStop SQL/MX user to specify measurements using the ANSI SQL name (as an alternative to using the underlying system-generated Guardian file name)
