Problem

  • What's New (this documentation is for preview only as I see)

Does anyone have more detailed information about new features or significant bug fixes in this release? I'm hoping someone has used or tested it.

  • OFFSET & FETCH (ORDER BY Clause)



  • Memory Manager Changes



-
LAG(..) and LEAD(..) .. OVER (Partition By..Order By) clause (thanks to gbn)
