- Sybperl CHANGES:
-
- 1.006 Added contributed patches: &dbwritetext(),
- &dbsafestr() and a modified &dblogin().
- Added &dbhasretstats() and &dbretstatus(), as well as
- some calls to DBlib macros such as DBCMD(),
- DBMORECMD(), etc.
- Received a patch to eg/space.pl from Wolfgang Richter.
- Code that was defined to compile if BROKER_DBCMD was
- defined has been removed. It was only a hack, making
- use of knowledge of the structure of the DBPROCESS
- data type.
- Added the possibility to return an associative array
- from &dbnextrow.
- Added support for new datatypes (SYBREAL, SYBDATETIME4).
- NULL values retrieved using &dbnextrow can be returned
- as 'undef' instead of 'NULL' (this is a compile-time
- option).
- 1.005 Sybperl would core dump if you used a uninitialized
- DBPROCESS.
- A solution to the sometime pathological memory usage
- observed when using a release of Perl lower than 4.035
- is also described in BUGS.
- &dblogin now returns -1 if the dblogin() or dbopen()
- calls fail.
- Added the possibility to login to a specific server
- without setting the DSQUERY environment variable.
- Added a script to extract the information regarding
- the database from the databases' system tables. See
- eg/dbschema.pl.
- 1.004 Added support for Perl based error and message
- handlers (as made possible by Perl 4.018). Many Thanks
- to Teemu Torma for this code.
- Added limited support for SYBTEXT datatypes.
- Added &dbstrcpy() to retrieve the current command buffer.
- The DBPROCESS parameter to most &db*() calls can now
- be omitted: it will default to the first DBPROCESS
- opened (the one that is returned by &dblogin()).
- Added lib/sybdb.ph
- Added a couple of example scripts in eg/*.pl, courtesy
- of Gijs Mos (Thank You!).
- 1.003 Base version.
