oDBAdminMethods_POSTGRESQL/$retDAMTablesAndViewsList (2008-01-22 Doug K.)
Overrode PostgreSQL method to work around bug. kStatementServerAll only returns tables.
oDBAdminMethods_POSTGRESQL/$setPrimaryKeyCounterValue (2007-12-24 Doug K.)
Use low(TableName) to ensure consistency for the sequence field naming convention.
oDBAdminMethods_SQLSERVER/$_retFKeysList (20070601 whole method added by TBS)

Added error checking for the schema class in case the library is closed or the schema class was removed.
oDBAdminMethods_abstract/$initialize (2008-01-22 Doug K.)
Moved $openSession towards top of the method and $closeSession to the end because some methods depend on an open session.

Removed the SQLServer bug work around. The bug work around is in the overridden subclass method. Removed early exit and fixed the error message.
oDBAdminSQLText_SQLSERVER/$retSQL_GetFKeys (20070601 method added)
oEmail/$sendEmail (2008-01-21 Doug K.)

oPaths/$:PREFERENCESPARENTFOLDERNAME (2008-01-10 Doug K.)
Deprecated the $:PreferencesParentFolderName property methods in favor of the $:OmnisName property which has been added.
oPaths/$:PathApplicationsFolder (2008-01-02 Doug K.)

If the 'Omnis Startup' folder is not found, automatically create it in the 'Program Files' or 'Applications' folder.
oPaths/$:PathOmnisStartupFolder (2008-01-02 Doug K.)
Use sys(215), if available, rather than sys(115) to indicate the Omnis Studio executable directory... the tree which which we will search. This ensures that on Vista it will look through the real 'Program Files' directory for the Omnis Startup folder.
oPaths/$:PathOmnisStudioFolder (2008-01-02 Doug K.)
Use sys(215), if available, rather than sys(115) to indicate the Omnis Studio executable directory. This ensures that on Vista that we will be in the real 'Program Files' directory for the Omnis Studio executable parent folder.

Added method which returns the path to the 'Program Files' or 'Applications' directory, based on the operating system.
oPaths/$:PathUserAppPreferencesFolder (2008-01-10 Doug K.)

oPaths/$:PathUserOmnisPreferencesFolder (2008-01-10 Doug K.)
Added $:UserOmnisPreferencesFolder method which returns the path to an 'Omnis' folder located inside the user preferences folder.
oPaths/$:PathUserPreferencesFolder (2008-01-10 Doug K.)

oSQLLists/buildForeignKeysList (2008-01-30 Doug K per Will Adkin)
Added 'cascadedelete' and 'listcolname' back to the foreign keys list. These are needed for the oSQLChildRecords object.
oSessionMethods_base/setUniqueSessionName (2007-12-13 Doug K.)
If the sessionname is empty use the first 5 letters of the damname + the first 7 letters of the database name. Use the rpos() function which was introduced in Omnis Studio v4.1
oStartupTaskDefaultMethods/_closeLibrariesInFolder (2008-01-22 Doug K.)
Added code to drill down recursively and close libraries in subfolders as well. Removed early exits.
oStartupTaskDefaultMethods/_openLibrariesInFolder (2008-01-22 Doug K.)

Bug fix. Moved the default FlagOK as true to the beginning of the method.
oTableMethods/$dodeletesBatch (2007-12-27 Doug K.)

Overrode the $doinsertsBatch method and use $execdirect instead of $execute() to work arounnd PostgreSQL bug which loses prepared statements.
oTableMethods_POSTGRESQL/$retNextPrimaryKey (2007-12-24 Doug K.)
Bug fix. len() test missing '=0' Bug fix. Changed sequence field name to con('pkeyseq_',low(basetablename)) to match the DBAdmin method that sets the pkey sequence counter.
oTableMethods_POSTGRESQL/$setSQLText_InsDateTime (2008-01-30 Doug K per Josh L.)
Check len(iInsDateColName) before doing anything.
oTableMethods_POSTGRESQL/$setSQLText_ModDateTime (2008-01-30 Doug K per Josh L.)
Check len(iModDateColName) before doing anything.
oWebBrowser/$createEmail (2008-01-30 Doug K.)
Formatting problem fix. Replace special characters in the subject and body with ASCII hex escape characters. The format "mailto:PersonName <email@domain.com>" format was causing trouble. Extract and use the email address only.

tBase/$dodeletesBatch_20071227 (2007-12-27 Doug K.)
Switched from $execute() to $execdirect(SQLText) to solve a PostgreSQL bug which loses the prepared SQL. This is a compromise on performance to solve the bug. When tBase is restructured this will be isolated to the PostgreSQL table methods object.
