Can someone elaborate on the SQL SECURITY INVOKER option in stored procedures? I need to create a stored procedure and ensure the privilege(i.e. the privilege on the underlying database objects inside the procedure) of the user calling the procedure is always checked and I think the SQL SECURITY INVOKER option achieves that.

Is there any way we can specifically identify the error line number in Nexus Query Chameleon?

Previous code that contained statements with LIKE ANY('CRITERIA1%', 'CRITERIA2%', 'CRITERIA3%') syntax is now returning only matches on the first criteria matches.
example
, CASE WHEN CNTRY LIKE ANY ('GEORG%', 'TURK%', 'ITALY%') then 'REGION1'
