- some of the drivers now export client library functions to the
programmer via the dbi_driver_specific_function() interface
- if necessary, the drivers now support libdbi instances
- a segfault in the oracle driver caused by INSERT statements was
fixed
- the pgsql driver now supports features specific to PostgreSQL 9
and later
- drivers now support transactions and savepoints if the
underlying database engines do
- additional libdbi hint about position in a result set allows
tremendous speedup of sequential reads from MySQL result sets
- various memory leaks were plugged
- database specific test scripts allow tests without affecting
existing database clusters
- completely rewritten test kit increases coverage and improves
error reporting
(2 versions); packaged for wip by Aleksey Cheusov.
libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to
the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can
leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database
connections by using this framework.
