New Features and Upgrading Guide
CHAPTER 4. Behavior Changes
This section describes changes in the behavior of the database server not described elsewhere.
Name changes In the documentation, the standalone engine is now referred to as the personal database server. The network server continues to be known as the network database server.
Server interface The network server interface is now removed to a separate utility named dbconsol. The network server itself now displays the same window as the personal server.
Minimized server icon When the database server for Windows 95 and Windows NT is minimized, it now appears as an icon in the system tray, rather than on the task bar.
The system tray is at the other end of the task bar from the Start button.
Database starting permission When a database server is started, you can use the -gd command-line option to control who can start databases. In previous releases, the default setting has been that all users can start databases. Starting with Version 6.0, the default setting for the network database server is that only users with DBA authority can start a database. For the personal server, the default is still to allow all users.
Cursors closed on ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT In previous versions of the software, cursors were not closed on a ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT. Now, cursors opened after the savepoint are closed on a rollback to that savepoint.
Minimum packet size The minimum packet size for client/server communications has changed from 200 bytes to 280. This setting is controlled by the -p database server command-line switch and by the CommBufferSize connection parameter
