    Have more user-friendly names for objects, columns, and column groups

    The current names of objects, columns, and column groups usually use some combination of camel case, abbreviations, and no spaces, which makes them difficult to read. Nobody writes like this outside of programming, and most users of PI Builder are...

    Accept the dd-mmm-yyyy format in the absolute time syntax for history recovery start and end times

    The PI Interface for RDBMS currently accepts the format dd-mmm-yy but not the format dd-mmm-yyyy for history recovery start and end times. The former format lacks the century, so the year is ambiguous. The latter format solves this problem and so...

    Improved handling of PIBUFSS initialization

    We have encountered a situation where we were unable to write out-of-order data to PI through the buffer subsystem from an interface, apparently because the buffer subsystem was not yet fully initialized when the interface connected to it. Please ...
