Overview of Release Numbers
There is a release numbering scheme for TimesTen releases. This scheme is relevant when discussing upgrades. For example, for a given release, a
.b
.c
.d
.e
:
-
a
indicates the first part of the major release. -
b
indicates the second part of the major release. -
c
indicates the patch set. -
d
indicates the patch level within the patch set. -
e
is reserved.
Important considerations:
-
Releases within the same major release (
a
.b
) are binary compatible. If a release is binary compatible, you do not have to recreate the database for the upgrade (or downgrade). -
Releases with a different major release are not binary compatible. In this case, you must recreate the database. See "Migrating a Database" for details.
As an example, for the 22.1.1.25.0
release:
-
The first two numbers of the five-place release number (
22.1
) indicate the major release. -
The third number of the five-place release number (
1
) indicates the patch set. For example,22.1.1.25.0
is binary compatible with22.1.1.26.0
because the first two digits in the five-place release number (22
and1
) are the same. -
The fourth number of the five-place release number (
1
) indicates the patch level within the patch set.22.1.1.26.0
is the first patch level within patch set two. -
The fifth number of the five-place release number (
0
) is reserved.
