From PR#19056 from MLH. Note that we assume the client library is
not thread safe as per 0.9.1.
Disk based hashes is a method to create multidimensional binary trees on disk.
This library permits the extension of database concept to a plethora of
electronic data, such as graphic information. With the multidimensional binary
tree it is possible to mathematically prove that access time to any
particular record is minimized (using the concept of critical points from
calculus), which provides the means to construct optimized databases for
particular applications.

DB_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
facilities provided by Berkeley DB version 1. (DB_File can be built
version 2, 3 or 4 of Berkeley DB, but it will only support the 1.x
features).
Note: this package is skipped on systems providing DB 1 as we assume that
the perl5 package picked it up so already provides this module.
Fixed memory leak in fetchrow_hashref introduced in DBI 1.33.
Fixed various DBD::Proxy errors introduced in DBI 1.33.
Fixed to ANSI C in dbd_dr_data_sources
Fixed $h->can($method_name) to return correct code ref.
Removed DBI::Format from distribution as it's now part of the
separate DBI::Shell distribution
Updated DBI::DBD docs with a note about the CLONE method.
Updated DBI::DBD docs
Updated DBI::DBD::Metadata for perl 5.5.3
Added note to install_method docs about setup_driver() method.
Makefiles simply need to use this value often, for better or for
worse.
(2) Create a new variable FIX_RPATH that lists variables that should
be cleansed of -R or -rpath values if ${_USE_RPATH} is "no". By
default, FIX_RPATH contains LIBS, X11_LDFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and
additional variables may be appended from package Makefiles.
Fixed DBI::DBD docs to refer to DBI::DBD::Metadata
Fixed disconnect_all() to not be required by drivers.
Added $okay = $h->can($method_name) to check if a method exists.
Added DBD::*::*->install_method($method_name, \%attr) so driver private
methods can be 'installed' into the DBI dispatcher and no longer
need to be called using $h->func(..., $method_name).
Enhanced $dbh->clone() and documentation.
Removed old DBI::Shell from distribution and added Tom Lowery's improved
version to the Bundle::DBI file.
Updated minimum version numbers for modules in Bundle::DBI.
Added $dbh2 = $dbh1->clone to make a new connection to the database
that is identical to the original one. clone() can be called even after
the original handle has been disconnected. See the docs for more details.
Fixed unescaping of newlines in DBI::ProfileData
Fixed Taint bug with fetchrow_hashref
Fixed $dbh->{Active} for DBD::Proxy
Fixed STORE to not clear error during nested DBI call
Fixed DBI::PurePerl error clearing behaviour.
Fixed problem that meant ShowErrorStatement could show wrong statement
Changed Apache::DBI hook to check for $ENV{MOD_PERL} instead of
$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} thanks to Ask Bjoern Hansen.
No longer tries to dup trace logfp when an interpreter is being cloned.
Database handles no longer inherit shared $h->err/errstr/state storage
from their drivers, so each $dbh has it's own $h->err etc. values
and is no longer affected by calls made on other dbh's.
Now when a dbh is destroyed it's err/errstr/state values are copied
up to the driver so checking $DBI::errstr still works as expected.
Documentation changes:
Documented $high_resolution_time = dbi_time() function.
Documented that bind_col() can take an atribute hash.
Clarified documentation for ParamValues attribute hash keys.
Many good DBI documentation tweaks
including a major update to the DBI::DBD driver author guide.
Clarified that execute() should itself call finish() if it's
called on a statement handle that's still active.
Clarified $sth->{ParamValues}. Driver authors please note.
Removed "NEW" markers on some methods and attributes and
added text to each giving the DBI version it was added in,
if it was added after DBI 1.21 (Feb 2002).
Fixed to work with 5.005_03 (I've not tested it).
Reenabled taint tests (accidentally left disabled)
Improved docs for FetchHashKeyName attribute
Fixed core dump if fetchrow_hashref given bad argument (name of attribute
with a value that wasn't an array reference)
Fixed some compiler warnings
Updated Steven Hirsch's enhanced proxy work (seems I left out a bit).
The fetchall_arrayref method, when called with a $maxrows parameter,
no longer gives an error if called again after all rows have been
fetched. This simplifies application logic when fetching in batches.
Also added batch-fetch while() loop example to the docs.
The proxy now supports non-lazy (synchronous) prepare, positioned
updates (for selects containing 'for update'), PlRPC config set
via attributes, and accurate propagation of errors
The DBI_AUTOPROXY env var can now hold the full dsn of the proxy driver
plus attributes, like "dbi:Proxy(proxy_foo=>1):host=...".
Added TaintIn & TaintOut attributes to give finer control over
tainting
The RootClass attribute no longer ignores failure to load a module,
but also doesn't try to load a module if the class already exists
HandleError attribute works for connect failures
The connect() RaiseError/PrintError message now includes the username.
Changed "last handle unknown or destroyed" warning to be a trace message.
Removed undocumented $h->event() method.
Further enhancements to DBD::PurePerl accuracy.
The CursorName attribute now defaults to undef and not an error.
* added parser-caching for speedier operation, see File.pm prepare()
* further adjustments in tests including fix for prototypes to make
it perl 5.8 compatible
* added support for MySQL-like "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS"
* fixed bug in dotted column names e.g. tableA.colB
* fixed bug in MAX and MIN
* fixed bug in ORDER BY (when col names not in SELECT list)
* added support for delimited identifiers (inside double quotes);
these are case sensitive and can contain spaces and other
special chars
* added support for two forms of escaping single quotes inside
quoted values: 'O\'Brien' or 'O''Brien'
* added support for both C-Style and SQL-Style double-hypen
comments, e.g. /* comment */ or -- comment
* added GetInfo.pm for use with $dbh->get_info()
* fixed bug in update that refers to its own columns
(e.g. SET num = num + 2)
* fixed bug in MIN and MAX when used with strings
* identifiers (names of columns, tables, and table name
aliases) are now all case insensitive as required by the SQL
standard. all older versions including the XS versions used
case sensitive column names
* added numerous examples to test.pl
* improved and/or fixed bugs in:
* placeholder support
* ORDER BY clause
* LIKE/CLIKE/RLIKE/IN predicates
* table name aliases in explicit joins
holes.
