Dear Community,

Functionality Added or Changed

  • New Features Added:

Wow, the buffer pool dump/restore feature is something I will definitely check out! Restarting a machine with 60GB+ of buffer pool just takes forever to warm back up again. I’m in the early stages of upgrading ~50 database machines from 5.0 to 5.1 and this looks like another great reason to do it.
