Every HistoryUpdate a SQL backend applies now leaves a modification trail
(prior value, principal, Part 11 update type, modification time), and
HistoryReadRaw with IsReadModified=true serves it as HistoryModifiedData.
- Core: HistoryUpdateContext threaded into all three IHistorianDataUpdater
methods; IHistorianDataSource.ReadModifiedAsync (default NotSupported =>
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported on Gateway/Null); HistoryModified* contracts.
- SqlServer: schema v2 (002_sample_modified.sql, RequiredVersion=2, docs copy);
trail written by OUTPUT ... INTO on the same MERGE/DELETE statement, so a
failed update leaves no audit row; retention purges SampleModified per tag on
the source-time cutoff; ReadModifiedAsync keyed on (SourceTimeUtc, ModifiedId).
- QuestDB: append-only {prefix}sample_modified (TTL like samples), trail row
written BEFORE the change (orphan-on-crash, never an untracked change);
existence reads now carry the prior value; ReadModifiedAsync.
- Node manager: modified reads dispatch + page via the #669 continuation store
(HistoryContinuationState gains HistoryCursorKind + LastModifiedId), gated by
the existing HistoryRead decision; session principal / key id passed to the
updater. IsDeleteModified stays unsupported.
- Client.CLI: historyread --modified.
- Tests: node-manager dispatch/paging/cursor binding/principal threading,
over-the-wire HistoryModifiedData, shared ModifiedValueConformance on both
backends, SqlServer atomicity (forced trail failure => no change) + v1->v2
upgrade + retention trail purge.
- Docs: Historian.md (Modified-value history section, schema v2 upgrade note),
security.md, Client.CLI.md, CLAUDE.md.
Moves the database-independent logic of the SQL Server historian backend into a new
shared library for the upcoming QuestDB backend (#666): status codes and bits, value/column
mapping, StoredSample + quality clamp, the AtTime and aggregate evaluators, BucketPlan,
LiveWritePreparer and HistoryUpdatePlanner (both with a resolutionTicks parameter, default 1),
tag-name rules, the bootstrap failure cache, health counters, alarm event ids, the event
continuation and severity clamp. The SQL Server backend now calls it; its T-SQL, TVP
builders, connection, bootstrapper and catalog stay.
Tests: StatusCodeOracleTests, ValueWriterPrepareTests, the column half of SampleRowMapperTests
and ProcessedReadTests.Every_enum_member_is_either_served_or_refused move to the new
Sql.Common.Tests under the same names. SqlServer integration tests get mechanical renames
only. Test-name set across the three projects is identical to the baseline (160 tests).
