DataConstructor 20.09.1805 has been released. The big value-add of this version is that you can run commands with no transaction.

Database Scripts, Versions, and Commands can all have their Severability defined separately. Composite structures, such as the database script or a version script, can either be set to Atomic or Molecular severability. Non-composite structures, such as SQL scripts, can either be set to Atomic or Fluidic severability.

Atomic severability means that the structure with the specified severability is indivisible. It must either all succeed or all fail.

Molecular severability means that the structure is divisible into discrete parts. Such as as might be the case with a database upgrade script, which can be divided into versions. Each discrete part can fail or succeed on its own (while still respecting dependencies). The divisibility of each individual part is left to that part rather than specified by the whole.

Fluidic severability means that the structure can be divided into arbitrary portions, each of which can fail on its own or as a whole. When used on a database or XML file, this means that no transaction will be created by DataConstructor.

At the end of the course, our presenter promised that we would make the slides available in some format such as PDF. You'll find a link to that PDF below.
