AUL V4 support Oracle BLOB/CLOB data types compared to AUL V3. I started this enhancement since Dec, 2006. And release the AUL V4 beta version at the beginning of Jan, 2007. I supposed to announce the formal release after a successful recovery of LOB data, it's time to announce this great news.
Few days ago, AUL V4 recovered a LOB table of my customer, totally 12292 images, PDF/DOC files recovered, and the result was perfect, just found some white PDF file, it should not be AUL V4's problem. So I formally announce the retire of AUL V3, and the latest version is 4.0.2.
I want to give special thanks to my customers, initially we use the beta version for recovery, and get some bugs. My customer gave me enough debug information and enough support for the fixing work. This customer read across my site carefully to avoid asking too much question of the usage of AUL software. Mainly two bugs are fixed :
- 1, Cannot recover LOB value stored in chained or migrated row.
Reason: did not pass the correct LOB index information to the subroutine.- 2, Cannot recover LOB value except for the first LOB column of table.
Reason: did not get correct LOB index information for the LOB columns.
I have stopped download of AUL V4, the old link has been pointed to the AUL 4 binary. The next version will support compress tables & indexes, but still no time schedule for it.
