- SA0260 : Parameter defined as nullable, but no default value provided

- SEM005 : DML statement complexity
- SEM006 : Count of SQL modules
Fixes and enhancements in the standard analysis rules
- SA0192 – The rule now ignores global variable assignments
- SA0168 – Other types of zero literals are now supported.
- SA0172 – The rule now considers exit paths, which fixes some false positives.
- SA0174 – Fix target statement scope and exclude not applicable statements from the rule checks.
- SA0254 – The rule now considers exit paths, which fixes some false positives. Also, consider cursor declarations made inside dynamically executed SQL string.
- SA0258 – The rule now considers union clauses inside fetch statement when counting the number of select columns.
Other fixes and enhancements:
- Command Line Tool – Added support for a new custom property `IncludeTragetsWithoutIssues`, which to control whether to report all targets or only ones having issues.
- Team settings – Fixed behavior when updating SQL Enlight to a new version that adds new analysis rules. The previous behavior was merging the new rules with the rules in the configured team settings template. This way the new rules were included in the analysis, which is not usually intended. The current behavior only updates the existing standard analysis rules when a Team Settings are enabled, without adding the new ones.
- Fixes of some other minor issues.
