  • 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]

  • 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]
