DBD::mysql 2.9003 has been uploaded to CPAN.
There are the changes in 2.9003:
2003-10-26 Rudy Lippan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (2.9003)
* Applied patch from Aaron and Chuck that added basic testing of
the
table_info/column_info functions [Aaron Ross
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
* Applied patch removing Jochen Wiedmann's contanct information
and
also removing the restriction on CD ROM distribution.
[Jochen Wiedmen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
* The check for the innodb table type was broken so the
transaction
tests were skipped even though the database supported
transactions.
* :sql_types were not being inported in column info, so SQL_VARCAR
was
thowing an error. Also, the :sql_types were not being pulled
into
DBD::mysq::db package
* Patch for dbdadmin.t so that it respects username and password
[Alexey Stroganov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
* Fix for memory leak in bind_param() introduced in 2.9002
(2.9002 changed bind_param so that changing the value of a
scalar
after binding would not affect what was passed to execute eg:
$sth->bind_param(1,$foo);
$foo = 'bar'
$sth->execute() -- $foo would contain 'bar')
[reported by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
* don't define dbd_discon_all so that mysql uses DBI's This fixes
a
bug whereby DBD::mysql was dropping perl's destruct level.
* patch to myld so that it uses strict and fixes scoping problem
with $contents [Jochen Wiedmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
* Modified Makefile.PL so that it gives a usage message
if any unknown options are passed in.
* patch to INSTALL.pod on how to link DBD::mysql against
a static libmysqlclient [Jochen Wiedmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
If I have missed anything, let me know.
Also, I am taking requests for features to be added in the next version of
DBD::mysql; The list, as of right now, is:
- Basic UTF-8 support
- column_info()
