GDE to default to standard null collation #114
Description
Final Release Note
The default value for the GDE region parameter STDNULLCOLLATION is STDNULLCOLLATION. Previously it was NOSTDNULLCOLLATION. As we are aware of no application that uses empty string (null) subscripts and NOSTDNULLCOLLATION, changing the default is an opportunity to keep an application from having obscure, hard-to-troubleshoot bugs as a consequence of inadvertently using NOSTDNULLCOLLATION. YottaDB strongly recommends against use of legacy collation. (#114)
Description
The legacy null collation is not used by any known application, and the fact that it is the default is an opportunity for an application to have an obscure, hard to troubleshoot, bug. Standard should be the default, and the legacy should require explicit setting.
