Fixed DBD::Proxy support for AutoCommit
Fixed DBI::ProxyServer bind_param(_inout) handling
Fixed DBI::ProxyServer fetch loop
Fixed install_driver do-the-right-thing with $@ on error. It, and connect(),
will leave $@ empty on success and holding the error message on error.
Fixed fetchrow_hashref to assign columns to the hash left-to-right
so later fields with the same name overwrite earlier ones
as per DBI < 1.15
Changed tables() to use quote_indentifier() if the driver returns a
true value for $dbh->get_info(29) # SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR
Changed ping() so it no longer triggers RaiseError/PrintError.
Changed connect() to not call $class->install_driver unless needed.
Changed DESTROY to catch fatal exceptions and append to $@.
Added ISO SQL/CLI & ODBCv3 data type definitions
Removed the definition of SQL_BIGINT data type constant as the value is
inconsistent between standards (ODBC=-5, SQL/CLI=25).
Added $dbh->column_info(...)
Added $dbh->foreign_key_info(...)
Added $dbh->quote_identifier(...)
Added $h->{HandleError} = sub { ... } addition and/or alternative
to RaiseError/PrintError.
Added Fowler/Noll/Vo hash type as an option to DBI::hash().
Added DBI::Changes so now you can "perldoc DBI::Changes", yeah!
Added selectrow_arrayref & selectrow_hashref docs
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
Made fetchall_arrayref({ foo=>1, ...}) be more strict to the specification
in relation to wanting hash slice keys to be lowercase names.
Fixed $sth->execute() to update $dbh->{Statement} to $sth->{Statement}.
Added row number to trace output for fetch method calls.
Added $h->{FetchHashKeyName} = 'NAME_lc' or 'NAME_uc' to alter
behaviour of fetchrow_hashref() method. See docs.
Added type_info quote caching to quote() method
Makes using quote() with second data type param much much faster.
Added type_into_all() caching to type_info()
Added new API definition for table_info() and tables(),
Added primary_key_info() to DBI API
Added primary_key() to DBI API as simpler interface to primary_key_info().
Indent and other fixes for DBI::DBD doc
Added prepare_cached() insert_hash() example
Removed false docs for fetchall_hashref(), use fetchall_arrayref({}).
Fixed that altering ShowErrorStatement also altered AutoCommit!
Fixed DBD::Proxy to handle commit() and rollback(). Long overdue, sorry.
Fixed incompatibility with perl 5.004 (but no one's using that right? :)
Fixed connect_cached and prepare_cached to not be affected by the order
of elements in the attribute hash.
Fixed version number of DBI::Shell
Defined and documented table_info() attribute semantics (ODBC compatible)
Reimplemented fetchrow_hashref in C, now fetches about 25% faster!
Changed behaviour if both PrintError and RaiseError are enabled
to simply do both (in that order, obviously :)
Slight reduction in DBI handle creation overhead
Fixed $dbh->{Driver} & $sth->{Database} to return 'outer' handles.
Fixed execute param count check to honour RaiseError
Fixed build for perl5.6.1 with PERLIO
Fixed client sql restrictions in ProxyServer.pm
Fixed batch mode command parsing in Shell
Fixed typo in selectcol_arrayref docs
Fixed selectrow_hashref to be available to callers
Fixed core dump if statement handle didn't define Statement attribute
Added bind_param_inout docs to DBI::DBD
Added note to data_sources() method docs that some drivers may
require a connected database handle to be supplied as an attribute
Trace of install_driver method now shows path of driver file loaded
Changed many '||' to 'or' in the docs
Updated DBD::ADO again (improvements in error handling)
Updated Win32::DBIODBC (Win32::ODBC emulation)
Updated email and web addresses in DBI::FAQ
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.
NOTE: This version is the one the DBI book is based on.
NOTE: This version requires at least Perl 5.004.

Apache perl modules, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
