See bug 3381. MonetDB Common * Removed the heap cache. Since the fix for bug 3323 which made that the cache was actually getting used, bug 3376 made clear that it didn't work very well. In addition, on Linux at least, the heap cache slows things down. Java Module * Rearranged order of returned columns of certain metadata functions to comply with the JDBC documentation. See bug 3356.
