#---------------------------------------------------------------------
#Complete Bug List
#==================
Problem #1: closed
Summary: Q10 returns no rows
Since orders can only be returned (l_returnflag = 'R') after they
have been received, and can't be received in the future, the
number of permissible orders for query 10 tails off early in
1995. If you are lucky enough to get a parameter substitution
after February '95 (allowed in 2.12.3), things can go "quickly".
SEVERITY:
SPEC FIX: replace 2.12.3 (1) with "DATE is the first day in a
rundomly selected month between the first month of 1993 and the
last month of 1994"
DBGEN FIX: change permisible substitution range for query 10,
parameter 1
ANSWER SETS: not effected.
WORKAROUND: use a different seed for qgen parameter substitution
HELP NEEDED:
AUDITORS NOTIFIED:
OPENED AGAINST: 1.0
CLOSED IN: 1.0.1 (dbgen and qgen)
Problem #2: closed
Summary: parallelism in load to gen differing data sets
the parallel load code was based on extensible data sets; since
each "extension" made an assumption of scale factor, the data
could end up clustered. Further, since the RNG is
self-modifying, different numbers of extension led to different
final data sets.
SEVERITY:
SPEC FIX: none.
DBGEN FIX: remove -E(xtensible) option and implement pure parallel
load with a known scale factor; rebuild seed files
ANSWER SETS: not effected. (parallelism not implemented for SF <= 1)
WORKAROUND: don't use the parallel load (-C) option to DBGEN
HELP NEEDED: testers needed.
AUDITORS NOTIFIED: yes.
OPENED AGAINST: 1.0
CLOSED IN: 1.0.1
Problem #3: closed
Summary: some arithmetic tends to overflow at large SF
retailprice tends to SF/10 as SF increases. this can lead to
data corruption in extendedprice and aggregate calculations
SEVERITY:
SPEC FIX: will need rework of 1.3 wrt retailprice calculation
DBGEN FIX: modification to second term of rpb_routine() calcuation
to limit contibution of second term to the maximum seen at
SF=.1
ANSWER SETS: not effected
WORKAROUND: code retail/extended price calculations as long long;
build smaller data sets
HELP NEEDED:
AUDITORS NOTIFIED:
OPENED AGAINST: 1.0
CLOSED IN: 1.0.1
Problem #4: closed
Summary: dbgen not ported to NT
SEVERITY:
SPEC FIX: none
DBGEN FIX: need to roll in changes supplied by IBM
ANSWER SETS: not effected
WORKAROUND: N/A
HELP NEEDED: N/A
AUDITORS NOTIFIED: N/A
OPENED AGAINST: 1.0
CLOSED IN: 1.1.0
Problem #5: closed
Summary: QGEN seed init inconsistent
A prior fix assured that parameter values were query order
independent when a seed was provided on the command line. need
to make this true when no seed is provided
SEVERITY:
SPEC FIX: none
DBGEN FIX: rework seed init loop in qgen.c
ANSWER SETS: not effected
WORKAROUND: supply seeds on command line
HELP NEEDED: none
AUDITORS NOTIFIED: N/A
OPENED AGAINST: 1.0

Problem #00062: closed
Summary: bad update rollover after 1000 refreshes
This test uses tpcH scale 0.01. We've encountered
an situation in which dbgen doesn't generate
the correct data for delete files delete.1000 and
above. In particular, file delete.1000 contains
keys to be deleted that have never been loaded.
Because of this problem, keys that should have been
deleted never are causing duplicate unique values
to appear in the incremental loads after we cycle
from the 4000th incremental update back around starting
again with the 1st one.
