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.
