0.97 Mon Apr 21 21:25:31 EDT 2003
* New DBD::Oracle patch allows passing of existing handles in place
of a new context. This fixes the multiple query problem in 0.96.
* Added significant infrastructure to the extproc_perl core to save
the state of OCI handles for passing to DBD::Oracle in
multiple-query transactions
* New ExtProc->dbi_connect() wraps DBI->connect and encapsulates
the logic used in context/handle passing to DBD::Oracle
0.96 Wed Apr 16 11:00:58 EDT 2003
* Make code compliant with Perl's threading context API
* New patch to fix broken DBD-Oracle 1.13 & 1.14
* _errno() special subroutine returns $!
* _eval() special subroutine evals code with non-fatal failure
semantics
* Update documentation for threading perl warning and new functions
0.95 Sat Apr 12 13:03:20 EDT 2003
* Added support for calling a Perl subroutine as a procedure
* Procedural calls enable support of DML statements from the
external procedure
* Added Fcntl as a default built-in module
* Can add to default module list instead of replacing it
* _preload() special subroutine forces loading of code from database
* Updated documentation
0.94 Fri Nov 22 13:58:08 EST 2002
* Renamed "context" attribute to "ora_context" in DBD::Oracle patch
on Tim Bunce's suggestion
* Retrieve code from database in addition to bootstrap file
* Query database for code when get_cv fails
* Bootstrap file is now optional
* _codetable() special subroutine sets or returns database table
that is queried for code
* _modules() special subroutine returns statically linked modules
* _error() special subroutine returns most recent error string
* Rewrote ExtProc module convenience functions to use OCI simple_query
interface. This removes the DBI dependency of the ExtProc module,
which was a performance hit on initial load.
* Wrote "ep" script to import and export code from a database.
0.93 Fri Aug 31 11:16:39 EDT 2001
* Wrote patch for DBD-Oracle to work inside an external procedure
* Rewrote convenience ExtProc functions in Perl using DBI
* Added a context method to ExtProc that returns the current
OCIExtProcContext object used in DBI calls.
0.92 Thu Aug 23 17:20:00 EDT 2001 (INTERNAL RELEASE)
* Fixed "return 1" bug -- reversed logic in perl_run call
* use get_cv to test for subroutine existence
0.91 Mon Aug 20 15:59:57 EDT 2001
* Update documentation for persistence and special functions
0.90 Wed Aug 15 15:17:54 EDT 2001
* Initial revision
