Apologies if it seems this change is stalled, I've been extremely busy attempting to keep the wolf from the door. I will be back on it to finish it in the next few days. I've so far:
o documented change in trunk for bind_col (edited by Tim) o documented change in trunk for DBI::DBD o fixed a problem in sql_type_cast o written test cases for sql_type_cast in trunk As far as I am aware there are four outstanding issues: o 2 of the tests I submitted fail - sql_type_cast for double - I got some input from perl monks and some guidance from Tim but I've not properly looked at any of it yet. o I've not posted a revised patch for DBD::Oracle using this stuff. o I've not changed DBD::ODBC (which will wait until DBD::Oracle is finalised) o I've not got a commit bit on DBD::Oracle - not the end of the world as I'll post a patch but it would be nice. Sorry about lack of progress but I've been /really/ busy with paid work and with bugs in other Perl modules that were more important to our project right now. Martin
