This is the first release under new management at GBorg. Here's a list
of changes in the new version, along with attributions:
1.20 Wed Nov 27 16:19:26 2002
- Maintenance transferred to GBorg,
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/dbdpg/projdisplay.php.
Incremented
version number to reflect new management. [Bruce Momjian]
- README cleaned up. [Bruce Momjian]
- Added t/15funct.t, a series of tests that determine if the meta
data
is working. [Thomas Lowery]
- Added implementations of column_info() and table_info(), and
primary_key_info(). [Thomas Lowery]
- The POD formatting was cleaned up. [David Wheeler]
- The preparser was updated to better handle escaped characters.
[Rudy
Lippan]
- Removed redundant use of strlen() in pg_error() (Jason E.
Stewart).
- Test suite cleaned up, converted to use Test::More, and updated
to use
standard DBI environment variables for connecting to a test
database.
[Jason E. Stewart]
- Added eg/lotest.pl as a demonstration of using large objects in
buffers
rather than files. Contributed by Garth Webb.
- Added LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality. Congributed by Alex Pilosov.
- Added constants for common PostgreSQL data types, plus simple
tests to
make sure that they work. These are exportable via "use DBD::Pg
qw(:pg_types);". [David Wheeler]
- Deprecatated the undocumented (and invalid) use of SQL_BINARY in
bind_param() and documented the correct approach: "bind_param($num,
$val { pg_type => PG_BYTEA });". Use of SQL_BINARY in bind_param() will
now issue a warning if $h->{Warn} is true. [David Wheeler]
- Removed invalid (and broken) support for SQL_BINARY in quote().
[David
Wheeler]
- Added App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL to the distribution (but it
won't
be installed) to help Makefile.PL find the PostgreSQL include
and
library files. [David Wheeler]
- Fixed compile-time warnings. [David Wheeler and Jason E.
Stewart]
Enjoy!
