The first one seems reasonable to me (though a bit odd who writes select *
from subselect first up). The feature works, sometimes and there's code
available as a workaround for when it doesn't, what would you have done? I
see 4 options
a) pull the new feature
b) pull the legacy code which it conflicts with
c) put in place a workaround
d) delay the release further
The interesting thing to me is the language of "legacy code constraints".
It wouldn't entirely surprise me if the constraints were there for good
reason and the workaround could encounter new versions of old issues.
I've been looking at threaded execution and came across the sys auth issue,
to date I've yet to find any great benefit for this process model, which
isn't the default. I haven't done anywhere near enough testing (probably
need to write a java program to test it out properly) but at the moment its
looking like one to file in the 'good in theory' bin.
