CreateIndex: PROC [x: IndexHandle]; -- Creates a new index. x is a tuple whose first-created field is an NWord field, -- IndexObjectSize words long.

The idea is to allow inline --storage of strings in the case that a good guess of the length is available. --Eliminated DBPrivateCommonDefs by placing DBPage into DBCacheDefs. Changed by MBrown on December 9, 1979 10:17 PM -- Changes to reflect the existence of DBCommonDefs and DBSignalDefs. Changed by MBrown on December 14, 1979 5:25 PM -- Changes to reflect modifications to DBCommonDefs, and add Login procedure, per --meeting of 14 December. Also changed the names of some segment interface procedures, --and added CloseDatabase. Changed by MBrown on January 6, 1980 7:47 PM -- Changes: VersionOptions moves here, DBCommon.LongJFHandle is FileID. Changed by MBrown on January 14, 1980 2:48 PM -- Changed module name to conform to Cedar standard; also eliminated wordcount parm from --ReadNWord (it will be encoded in the FiledHandle). Changed by MBrown on January 18, 1980 12:15 PM -- Changed IndexHandle and IndexValue types; also changed the result of ReadNWord and --last parm to WriteNWord to POINTER TO UNSPECIFIED.

(This is convenient for --the storage level, too, since it must in effect stash backpointers to tuple objects in --the tupleset lists). Changed by MBrown on February 4, 1980 3:35 PM -- Eliminated the Tupleset parm to DestroyTuple. Added lengthHint to VarWord variant of --FieldDescriptor. Changed by MBrown on February 10, 1980 9:09 PM -- Eliminated type TuplesetID, which is a TID and hence invisible at this interface. --Renamed ReadTuplesetID to be ReadTupleset. Made IndexHandle = TupleHandle in a manner --analogous to TuplesetHandle. This required creating IndexObjectSize, and changing --CreateIndex (returns no result, segment is implicit in the IndexHandle passed in). --Eliminated IndexValue, which is really just TupleHandle (what else?) Changed by MBrown on February 21, 1980 11:11 AM -- Moved VersionOptions back to DBCommon due to change in DBSegment. Changed CloseScan --to CloseScanIndex, and added CloseScanGroup.

Changed definition of parameters to DeleteField. Changed by MBrown on 28-Feb-80 21:13 -- Added MaxSystemTuplesetID and SetSystemTuplesetTable.

Changed by MBrown on 3-Mar-80 15:35 -- Changed CreateDatabase and OpenDatabase to return two Indexhandles, not one. Changed by MBrown on March 6, 1980 9:41 AM -- Changed spec of WriteTID, added WriteTIDNIL. Changed by MBrown on March 21, 1980 3:39 PM -- Changed order of last two components of a Selection. Changed by MBrown on April 15, 1980 10:43 AM -- Added defaulting to the segmentID parameter of CreateSystemPageTuple, and clarified --the specification of this proc. Added the "start" parm to OpenScanGroup (scans used --to start only before the first group tuple). Added comment about possible ERROR from --DeleteFromIndex. Changed by MBrown on April 17, 1980 3:04 PM -- Eliminated "set" from SystemTuplesetID, MaxSystemTuplesetID, SetSystemTuplesetTable. --Made MaxSystemTupleID = 20. This is in response to the observation that GetGroupIDs, --applied to a Tupleset tuple (say), wants to return a TupleHandle representing a system --attribute tuple, just as ReadTupleset on such a tuple wants to return a TupleHandle --representing a system tupleset tuple. Changed by MBrown on June 8, 1980 6:04 PM -- Introduced FieldObject, an exported type. Changed by MBrown on June 10, 1980 9:24 PM -- Introduced TupleObject, an exported type. Changed by MBrown on June 14, 1980 11:36 AM -- Ditto for TuplesetScanObject, GroupScanObject. Changed by MBrown on June 24, 1980 11:12 AM -- Ditto for SystemTuplesetObject. Changed by MBrown on July 23, 1980 9:54 PM -- Added start parm to OpenScanTupleset, and added PrevScanTupleset procedure. Changed --FirstLast to {first, last} (not {First, Last}; Cedar convention). Changed by Cattell on July 31, 1980 1:32 PM -- Increased MaxSystemTuplesetID. Changed by MBrown on July 31, 1980 3:05 PM -- Integrated Rick's change into my private version. Added expectedNGroups parm to --CreateTupleset. Changed by MBrown on August 5, 1980 1:03 AM -- Made Listof -> ListOf. Changed by MBrown on August 5, 1980 8:33 PM -- Clarified specs of CloseDatabase and CloseCommunication. There is more work to be --done in this area, e.g. what does AbortTransaction really do? How does a client --proceed after an abort, spontaneous or otherwise? Changed by MBrown on August 29, 1980 2:44 PM -- OpenCommunication takes a server parameter, returns the welcome text from Juniper if a login --is done. Changed by MBrown on September 12, 1980 1:41 PM -- OpenDatabase and CreateDatabase now take nCachePages as a parameter (defaultable). Added --Finalize. Changed by Suzuki on September 28, 1980 11:31 AM -- Added fields in Selection for Infinity. -- Added a parameter in OpenScanIndex; position: FirstLast to indicate the starting position Changed by MBrown on December 8, 1980 3:54 PM -- Added parms to CreateSegment: nBytesInitial, nBytesPerExtent. Changed by MBrown on December 11, 1980 7:11 PM -- Flushed RegisterUser, added parms to OpenCommunication. Changed Commit to CommitTransaction. --Flushed SetTransactionNotifyProcedure. Changed by MBrown on February 26, 1981 8:58 PM -- Redefined OpenCommunication: server is used to decide what file system to use. Transaction is --UNSPECIFIED. newTrans parm added. Changed by MBrown on 8-Jun-81 16:05:48 -- Start of conversion to use collectable storage. FieldHandle is still a POINTER, but everything --else changed to REF. (FieldHandle is a mess anyway, which is a symptom of the poor division --of function between storage and tuple levels.) Added procedures for access to VarByte fields --via FileByteStreams. Changed by Cattell on 16-Jun-81 14:14:34 -- Changed strings to ropes. Changed by MBrown on 19-Jun-81 9:24:21 -- TupleObject is defined opaquely in DBTuplesOpaque, not both here and in DBTuples. --SystemTupleTable is a REF to an ARRAY, not a POINTER. Changed by MBrown on 19-Jun-81 20:35:05 -- Merge in Rick's change of 19-Jun-81 17:09:31: index routines take Rope.Ref, not --STRING, as key. Changed by Cattell on 13-Aug-81 14:23:57 -- Incorporated change to DBTuplesConcrete in anticipation of View version: --changed ConsSystemTupleObject to take parameter giving variant desired. Changed by Cattell on 23-Feb-82 10:34:33 -- Uses IOStreams instead of FileByteStreams for fns Mark added 8-Jun-81 16:05:48. Changed by Willie-Sue on June 24, 1982 12:03 pm -- IOStream => IO, Rope.Ref => Rope.ROPE Changed by Cattell on October 25, 1982 3:04 pm -- First proposal for changes for new independent-segment databases. Don't forget to call FinalizeHeap in implementation of DBStorage.CloseDatabase, formerly called by View level. The old OpenCommunication procedure changed to OpenTransaction, OpenDatabase changed to just initialize the system, OpenTupleset changed to take segment as argument, and OpenSegment and CreateSystemPageTuple changed to use new segment scheme. Also added new operation SegmentForTuple. Changed by Cattell on October 25, 1982 3:04 pm -- Increased MaxSystemTupleID to 128 for good measure, to allow for future expansion. Changed by Willie-Sue on February 3, 1983 -- added noLog arg to OpenTransaction Changed by Cattell on March 15, 1983 10:16 am -- Put FirstLast type in DBEnvironment so can use same throughout Cypress. Changed by Cattell on September 9, 1983 5:29 pm -- Began the conversion to Cedar 5.0. FieldHandles are REFs, ReadNWord/WriteNWord work on REF ANYs, etc. Ę?˜Jš œĮ;Īkœ œœ!œÜœ œĄŗ˜°ņ—…—x˛x÷
