Added selectrow_arrayref, selectrow_hashref, selectall_hashref
Added DBI->connect(..., { dbi_connect_method => 'method' })
Added $h->{ShowErrorStatement}=1 to cause the appending of the
relevant Statement text to the RaiseError/PrintError text.
Trace method uses warn() if it can't open the new file.
Trace shows source line and filename during global destruction.
Documentation:
Documented $DBI::lasth (which has been there since day 1).
Documented SQL_* names.
Clarified and extended docs for $h->state
Clarified fetchall_arrayref({}) docs
Clarified type_info_all re lettercase and index values.
Updated DBI::FAQ to 0.38
Added cute bind_columns example
Extended docs on \%attr arg to data_sources method.
Proxy:
Removed debug messages from DBD::Proxy AUTOLOAD
Added fix for problem using table_info
Added better determination of where to put the pid file
Added KNOWN ISSUES section to DBD::Proxy docs
Known issues:
Perl 5.005 and 5.006 both leak memory doing local($handle->{Foo}).
Perl 5.004 doesn't. The leak is not a DBI or driver bug.
removed all the old unittests from the samples directory
endian detection fixed
'make check' and ctlib unittests
TDS 7.0 fixes, numerics et al
dead connection handling
query timeout stuff
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
This is a powerful frontend for the MiniSQL or MySQL database
engines, that allows the user to search the database through easy
to use searchforms, select databases and tables from a menu, modify
records just by clicking them in a browser and much more. Xsqlmenu
supports having multiple tablewindows open at the same time (even
from different databases !). Also free SQL SELECT statements are
allowed (although they have a few restrictions to avoid confusion).
-lpthread found in library search path, use explicit path to library.
Noticed by hubertf.
When OPSYS == NetBSD, force use of included mit-pthreads.
Bumb version to "nb1".
Enable use of tcp_wrappers in the server.
BDB and Innobase table types are not configured in, so no transaction
support yet.
The 3.23 release has several major features that are not present
in previous versions. We have added new table types: MyISAM, a new
ISAM library which is tuned for SQL and supports large files; BDB,
which uses the Berkeley DB library from Sleepycat Software to
implement transaction-safe tables; INNOBASE, which uses the Innobase
database backend to implement transaction-safe tables. The 3.23
release also includes support for database replication between a
master and many slaves, full-text indexing, and much more.
For a detailed list of changes see appendix E of the online
documentation at http://www.mysql.com/.
The replication code and BerkeleyDB code is still not as tested
and as the rest of the code, so we will probably need to do a couple
of future releases of 3.23 with small fixes for this part of the
code. As long as you don't use these features, you should be quite
safe with MySQL 3.23!
Note that the above doesn't mean that replication or Berkeley DB
doesn't work; We have done a lot of testing of all code, including
replication and BDB without finding any problems. It only means
that not as many users uses this code as the rest of the code and
because of this we are not yet 100 % confident in this code.
API/ABI changes, (backward compatible) changes to the client-server
protocol and bug fixes.

* lib/DBD/CSV.pm (fetch_row): Now cleaning $! before
calling $csv->getline(). Seems to return false errors
otherwise in some cases.
* Made Makefile.PL CPAN conformant.
* Removed unnecessary stuff in Makefile.PL which verified
the DBI installation.
* lib/DBD/File.pm (STORE): Changed croak to die.
* Minor fix in the docs
* Minor compatibility fixes in the test suite for Perl 5.6.
