Hello all, I have put together a *BETA* release of DBD::mysql, and I would like to get some feedback esp. WRT any breakage/bugs. If things look good I will go ahead and release this as 2.1027.
The tarball is here: http://www.remotelinux.com/rlippan/DBD-mysql-2.1027_2.tar.gz List of Changes: * Updated type_info_all() to be more inline with what DBD::ODBC returns. * Added attribute 'auto_reconnect' that allows the auto reconnect behaviour to be toggled. Right now this attribute defaults to ON for backward compatibility; however, the default behaviour may change so that auto_reconnect only defaults to on in a mod_perl env. * Fixed a segfault with failed reconnects that were trapped in an eval. The next tine DBD::mysql tried to reconnect, the process would segfault. * Added statistics attribute, 'mysql_dbd_stats' which returns a hashref that contains 2 keys 'auto_reconnects' and 'failed_auto_reconnects'. * Fixed bug where strings that were used in numeric context were not getting quoted on execute(). Now all parameters are bound as varchar by default. **NOTE** this is a chage in behaviour that MAY cause problems with some SQL statements. If quoted integers causes any problems, use bind_param(<column_id>, SQL_INTEGER) to force a column to be bound as an integer. * Added get_info() method. See 'perldoc DBI' for more info * Added column_info(). See 'perldoc DBI' for more info [Tim Bunce]
