Hi,
I am almost finished a number of changes to DBD::ODBC which a) make it
work on win64 platforms and b) reduce the number of ODBC calls required
for select statements. I would like to tidy up some of DBD::ODBC which
may have fallen behind DBI::DBD changes/improvements but I am having
some difficulty deciding what is old/deprecated and what the new
"methods" are. Specifically:
o can I now throw away any DBIh_EVENT2 calls as they are now noops?
e.g. DBIh_EVENT2(drh, ERROR_event, DBIc_ERR(imp_drh),
DBIc_ERRSTR(imp_drh));
o in the connect/login method how do I signal a warning?
Specifically, I have changed the code which required two passes through
the same metadata calls to work out how much memory was required to
store column names to use SQLGetInfo(SQL_MAX_COLUMN_NAME_LEN) but would
like to warn if this result used was pinned at what I have decided is a
reasonable maximum.
Obviously I've looked at DBI::DBD but it seems more orientated to
writing a new DBD than historical changes in DBI internals.
Are there any other changes in DBI::DBD that DBD::ODBC may have fallend
behind on I should look for?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Martin
