Hi,
I have just uploaded DBD::ODBC 1.16 to CPAN. This release contains the
following changes:
=head1 CHANGES
=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.16 May 13, 2008
=head3 Test Changes
Small change to the last test in 10handler.t to cope with the prepare
failing instead of the execute failing - spotted by Andrei Kovalevski
with the ODBCng Postgres driver.
Changed the 20SqlServer.t test to specifically disable MARS for the
test to check multiple active statements and added a new test to check
that when MARS_Connection is enabled multiple active statements are
allowed.
Changed the 09multi.t test to use ; as a SQL statement seperator
instead of a newline.
A few minor "use of unitialised" fixes in tests when a test fails.
In 02simple.t Output DBMS_NAME/VER, DRIVER_NAME/VER as useful
debugging aid when cpan testers report a fail.
2 new tests for odbc_query_timeout added to 03dbatt.t.
Changed 02simple.t test which did not work for Oracle due to a "select
1" in the test. Test changed to do "select 1 from dual" for Oracle.
New tests for numbered and named placeholders.
=head3 Documentation Changes
Added references to DBD::ODBC ohloh listing and markmail archives.
Added Tracing sections.
Added "Deviations from the DBI specification" section.
Moved the FAQ entries from ODBC.pm to new FAQ document. You can view
the FAQ with perldoc DBD::ODBC::FAQ.
Added provisional README.windows document.
Rewrote pod for odbc_query_timeout.
Added a README.osx.
=head3 Internal Changes
More tracing in dbdimp.c for named parameters.
#ifdeffed out odbc_get_primary_keys in dbdimp.c as it is no longer
used. $h->func($catalog, $schema, $table, 'GetPrimaryKeys') ends up
in dbdimp.c/dbd_st_primary_keys now.
Reformatted dbdimp.c to avoid going over 80 columns.
Tracing changed. Levels reviewed and changed in many cases avoiding levels 1
and 2 which are reserved for DBI. Now using DBIc_TRACE macro internally.
=head3 Build Changes
Changes to Makefile.PL to fix a newly introduced bug with 'tr', remove
easysoft OOB detection and to try and use odbc_config and odbcinst if
we find them to aid automatic configuration. This latter change also
adds "odbc_config --cflags" to the CC line when building DBD::ODBC.
Avoid warning when testing ExtUtils::MakeMaker version and it is a
test release with an underscore in the version.
=head3 Functionality Changes
Added support for parse_trace_flag and parse_trace_flags methods and
defined a DBD::ODBC private flag 'odbcdev' as a test case.
Add support for the 'SQL' trace type. Added private trace type odbcdev
as an experimental start.
Change odbc_query_timeout attribute handling so if it is set to 0
after having set it to a non-zero value the default of no time out is
restored.
Added support for DBI's statistics_info method.
=head3 Bug Fixes
Fix bug in support for named placeholders leading to error "Can't
rebind placeholder" when there is more than one named placeholder.
Guard against scripts attempting to use a named placeholder more than
once in a single SQL statement.
If you called some methods after disconnecting (e.g., prepare/do and
any of the DBD::ODBC specific methods via "func") then no error was
generated.
Fixed issue with use of true/false as fields names in structure on MAC
OS X 10.5 (Leopard) thanks to Hayden Stainsby.
Remove tracing of bound wide characters as it relies on
null-terminated strings that don't exist.
Fix issue causing a problem with repeatedly executing a stored
procedure which returns no result-set. SQLMoreResults was only called
on the first execute and some drivers (SQL Server) insist a procedure
is not finished until SQLMoreResults returns SQL_NO_DATA.
