Please report any bugs here: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=DBD-Pg SHA1 and MD5 checksums: 920fa860ee79f4184201005264ab0ef8d7c0e479 DBD-Pg-2.0.0.tar.gz 71757069e05662985f2931e84edc3e6c DBD-Pg-2.0.0.tar.gz - From the Changes file: Major changes: - Make minimum supported server 7.4. [GSM] - Overhaul COPY functions: deprecate pg_getline, pg_putline, and pg_endcopy. The new functions are pg_getcopydata, pg_getcopydata_async, pg_putcopydata, and pg_putcopyend. [GSM] - Add support for arrays: can pass in arrayrefs to execute, and they are automatically returned as arrays when fetching. [GSM] - Add support for asynchronous queries. [GSM] - Allow raw transaction statements through - in other words, do not croak if $dbh->prepare("COMMIT") is attempted. Not only was this a little too controlling, there is a growing host of other commands such as "COMMIT PREPARED" that we need to allow. [GSM]. - Check transaction status after each command, to allow things such as 'PREPARE TRANSACTION' to work properly. (CPAN bug #32423) [GSM] - Overhauled the data type system. [GSM] - Switch from cvs to subversion. Switch from gborg to perl.org. - Change versioning system to three numbered system. Bug fixes: - Add $dbh->{pg_placeholder_dollaronly} to allow '?' and other symbols to be used in prepared statements without getting interpreted as placeholders, i.e. the geometric operator '?#' (CPAN bug #24124) [GSM] - Fix memory leak in bytea quoting. (CPAN bug #21392). Fix memory leak in pg_notifies. [Stephen Marshall smarshall@xxxxxxx] - Fix memory leak when using savepoints. (CPAN bug #29791) [airwave@xxxxxxxx] - Use adbin, not adsrc, when figuring out the sequence name for the last_insert_id() method. This allows the function to work properly if the sequence name is changed. Note that {pg_cache=>0} should be passed to the function if you expect this might happen. (CPAN bug #30924) [GSM] - Use unsigned chars when parsing passed-in queries, preventing UTF-8 strings from ruining the prepare. UTF-16 may still cause problems. (CPAN bug #31577) [GSM] - Fix crash when executing query with two placeholders side by side. Thanks to Daniel Browning for spotting this. [GSM] - Skip item if no matching key in foreign_key_info. (CPAN bug #32308) [GSM] - Fix bug in last_insert_id. (CPAN bug #15918) [orentocy@xxxxxxxxx] - Fix pg_description join in table_info(). [Max Cohan max@xxxxxxxxxxxx] - Make sure arrays handle UTF-8 smoothly (CPAN bug #32479) [GSM] - Force column names to respect utf8-ness. Per report from Ch Lamprect. [GSM] - Make sure array items are marked as UTF as needed. (CPAN bug #29656) [GSM] - Force SQL_REAL and SQL_NUMERIC to be float8 not float4. (CPAN bug #30010) [GSM] - Allow objects with stringification overloading to work with quote(). (CPAN bug #32868) [David E. Wheeler and GSM] - Use prepare_cached in last_insert_id function. (CPAN bug #24313) - Switch from pow to powf to support AIX compiler issue. (CPAN bug #24579) [GSM] Enhancements and API changes: - Complain loudly and fail to proceed if Makefile.PL finds no -lpq [GSM] - Add three new columns to column_info, to return unquoted version: pg_schema, pg_table, and pg_columns. Add all three to primary_key_info, and the first two to table_info (CPAN bug #20282) [GSM] - Change $dbh->{User} to $dbh->{Username} [GSM] - Change $dbh->{Name} to return the entire DSN string, minus the 'dbi:Pg:' part. Thanks to Mark Stosberg for the idea. [GSM] - Allow data_sources to accept optional arguments. [GSM] - Add private_attribute_info() method. [GSM] - Add SQL_INTERVAL and others to types.c [GSM] - Added statistics_info function [Brandon Black blblack@xxxxxxxxx] - Be much more flexible in test connection options. [GSM] - Overhaul test suite, allow tests to be run individually. [GSM] New and experimental: - Quick support for named trace level 'SQL' [GSM] - Very experimental support for bind_param_inout, use with caution. [GSM] Documentation fixes: - Fix bad PG_INTEGER example in docs, thanks to Xavi Drudis Ferran. (CPAN bug #31545) [GSM] - Fix META.yml file.
