changes

"undef" attribute (thanks to Trevor Schellhorn)

don't actually use it. Remove support for mod_perls without
push_handler support (Thanks to Brian again)

0.91 February 17, 2003

changes.
0.90_02 January 10, 2003
- Changes to make Apache::DBI load and function under mod_perl
2.0. A few important notes: connect_on_init does not work yet
and there's no automatic RollBack cleanup handler when
autocommit is turned off.

and a test database

times to the database even when DSN and attributes were the
same.
- Updated links and such in the documentation
FreeBSD 4 portability hint from Michal Pasternak.
Some of the changes since 2.8.5 include:
* Refactor parts of the code in order to make the code footprint
smaller. The code is now also a little bit faster.
* The built-in min() and max() functions now honor the difference
between NUMERIC and TEXT datatypes.
* New HH:MM:SS modifier to the built-in date/time functions.
* Add function prototypes for the database encryption API.
* Fix a bug that might corrupt the rollback journal if a power failure or
external program halt occurs in the middle of a COMMIT.
* Reduce the size and increase the speed of various modules.
* Fix a potential database corruption problem on Unix.
* Fix a 32-bit integer overflow problem that could result in corrupt
indices in a database if large negative numbers (less than -2147483648)
were inserted into a indexed numeric column.
* Fix a locking problem on multi-threaded Linux implementations.
* Fix a critical bug introduced in 2.8.0 which could cause database corruption.
* The VACUUM command now works with the non-callback API
* If the name of the database is an empty string, open a new database in a
temporary file that is automatically deleted when the database is
closed.
* Performance enhancements in the lemon-generated parser
* Documentation updates and typo fixes
* Removed support for the Oracle8 outer join syntax.
* Allow GLOB and LIKE operators to work as functions.
* Make sure the journal file directory entry is committed to disk before
writing the database file.
Sqsh (pronounced skwish) is short for SQshelL (pronounced s-q-shell), it
is intended as a replacement for the venerable 'isql' program supplied
by Sybase. It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do
real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work.
Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of
the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables,
redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command
completion, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the
design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.
This package enables motif support.
sybperl includes four modules: Sybase::DBlib, Sybase::CTlib,
Sybase::BCP and Sybase::Sybperl. The first two implement a thin
wrapper around the Sybase DB-Library and Client Library APIs,
respectively. Sybase::BCP is a specialty module aimed at doing
Bulk-Copy operations, and Sybase::Sybperl is a compatibility module
with sybperl 1.xx (i.e. with the perl 4.x version).
The sybperl modules are thin wrappers around the Sybase APIs. This is
both good and bad. It's good because you have greater control, and
because the API is (obviously) close to the way the server and the
protocol work. It's bad in that it's a proprietary API, and that it is
somewhat verbose.

pkg related changes: honour PKG_SYSCONFDIR for sqshrc.
Major changes since 1.7:
* New build system/directory structure. Should build against ASE
12.0 and FreeTDS now.
* Added support for varchar2() and varbinary2() for ASE 12.5 (I
don't have a 12.5 instance to test against yet though).
* Added \if command to perform conditional execution. Please read
the manual carefully on how expressions work.
* Added \while command to perform basic looping conditional
expressions.
* Added \break command to break out of current loop
* Added \for command to perform basic iteration.
* Added \do command to allow the exection of a sqsh script block
once per row returned from statement. Also new #[0-9] variables
may be used to refer to column names in result set. Also note
that \do allows flags -U, -S, -P for execution of statements on
other server or as other users.
* Added \func command to create a sqsh function for later
execution. Also, now ${[0-9]} now refer to the parameters to
this function when it is called. Note that by passing -x to
\func, the function will be exported as a full sqsh command, and
can be called directly without calling \call.
* Added \return to return from current function.
* Obviously, added \call to call sqsh function.
* New variable $? contains: - Return status of command executed on
pipe '|' - Return status of expression evaluated for \while or
\if. - Last server error number of severity > 10 (@@error). This
is useful for flow-of-control using the new conditional
statements.
* Added a directory of handy filter scripts.
* Fixed \rpc command with @variable names.
* \exit now exits sqsh, no matter how many \loop nesting levels
you are in.
* The user will now be re-prompted to enter a password if a "Login
failed." message is received from the server. This may be
disabled using the new $password_retry variable.
* Got rid of error message about ct_exit() not being called.
* Created new 'make distrib' option to build a self-contained sqsh
binary distribution.
* $rcfile and $SQSHRC may now be colon delimited lists of sqshrc
files. This allows for system-wide rc files to be loaded first
before local files. Also, the default $SQSHRC setting is now
"/usr/local/etc/sqshrc:$HOME/.sqshrc" (the /usr/local will be
automatically replaced by the contents of --prefix when passed
to configure).
* Fixed -C.
* $SQSHRC no longer needs to be writable.
* sqsh no longer pays attention to quotes inside of comments
during variable expansion.
* Fixed bcp'ing of results from stored procedures.
* libsybtcl will now be chosen if available.
* 'exact' mode keyword expansion should now work better (thanks to
Sean Woolcock.
* Added $bcp_colsep and $bcp_rowsep configuration variables to
control the separators used during "go -m bcp".
* Added $bcp_trim to configure whether or not trailing spaces are
trimmed in the bcp output.
* Fixed segfault in "pretty" display mode.
