A new version of Rose::DB (0.57) is required as well. There are many important bug fixes in this release, plus a good number of brand-new features. The highlight is probably the addition of what I'm calling the "arbitrary-depth join" feature to the Manager. You can see an example at the end of the "Auto-joins ..." section of the tutorial. Once search.cpan.org updates, it'll be online here:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Tutorial.pod#A uto-joins_and_other_Manager_features Remember, it's at the end of that section. (Anyone know how to embed arbitrary HTML anchors in POD?) There's also a handy new feature in the loader that will auto-create not just RDBO-derived classes, but also the actual *.pm Perl modules files as well (all in an appropriate directory hierarchy, naturally). One more quickie: there's a new pre_init_hook() feature (exposed in the metadata object as well as the loader) just in case you want to fix-up what's been automatically derived from the db right before all the methods and such get created and the class is fleshed out. It's crude, but it's also less work than making a custom convention manager just to tweak one little thing. The full change list is below. The files are up on SF.net: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147570 and will be coming to a CPAN mirror near you very soon. Thanks to all that helped with this release! :) -John 0.60 (12.31.2005) - John Siracusa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Added arbitrary-depth auto-joins to the Manager using a "dot-chained" syntax (e.g., vendor.regions.code) * Added make_modules() method to the loader. * Added pre_init_hook() method to metadata objects and the loader. * Added overflow attribute to control the behavior when a scalar, character, or varchar column value is too long. Possible values are "fatal" (the default), "truncate", and "warn". * Serial columns are now detected correctly even when DBI returns a column type of integer or bigint. (Reported by Cees Hek) * Added support for bigserial columns. * Enum columns now have their list of valid values printed correctly by the perl_hash_definition() method. (Reported by Juan Camacho) * Fixed a bug that caused the loader to trip over mixed-case unique keys in MySQL databases. (Reported by Juan Camacho) * Force MDY dates in Postgres in the test suite, just in case the user has European dates configured. (Reported by Cees Hek) * Fixed numerous Postgres 7.x bugs. (Reported by Cees Hek) * Modified the benchmark suite to further confine each module to its own private set of database rows in order to eliminate the influence of run order during the tests. * Worked around SQLite ORDER BY bugs in order to make the test suite function correctly. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
