2006-09-08 Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com>, Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com>
(3.0007_1) (3.0006/3.0006_1 is the same as 3.0005/3.0005_1)
* Make sure to call dbd_st_finish when all rows from a statement handle
have been fetched. (Bug #20153, Bug #21607, RT #20464, RT #21241)
* Patch from Steve Hay to fix bind_param to deal properly with insertion
of a NULL into an INT or DOUBLE column using server-side prepare.
Converted Steve's dbi.pl script to expose this problem to 40bindparam2
test.
* Fix to mysql_st_internal_execute to keep from passing undefined dbh
handle member (bind_type_guessing) to parse_param causing crash on
OpenBSD. Reported on rt.cpan.org (#20868) by Kyle Georg, as well as
info from Sam Smith and Federico Giannici
* Cleaned up tests to make sure test table is dropped at end of test.
2006-06-10 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0005)
* Fix dbd_st_finish in 3.0004 didn't clean up bind buffers resulting in
a memory leak. See eg/prepare_memory_usage.pl to see how this manifests
itself. Thanks to Jason Snell for giving me a good script to reproduce
this!
* Fix to parse_params, mysql.xs dbh->do, and bind_param to deal with
passing substr to "do" for placeholder value. Thanks Martin Waite for
the patch to parse_params (extended to mysql.xs "do" and bind_param for
server-side prepared statements.
2006-05-17 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0004_1)
* Fix dbd_st_finish which closed the handle prematurely (Martin Evans)
* Compile issues (Martin Evans)
* Small change to get utf8 data returned. One still has to:
$dbh->do("set character set utf8");
$dbh->do("set names utf8");
to get utf8 back and even then you only get it back if the
column is defined as utf8 in mysql.
* Fix to dbd_bind_ph to deal with numbers (ints, floats) correctly
(Alexey Stroganov)
* Test changes - bind_param 41 and 42
* Turned off 70takeimp test
2006-04-29 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0003_1)

off server prepared statements (these calls are not supported)
* Updated documentation
2005-09-28 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0002_3)
* Added code to mysql_st_internal_execute that determines whether the
SV *h is a sth or dbh, and then imports imp_dbh appropriately
2005-09-26 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0002_2)
* Fixed bug in dbd_st_execute where imp_sth was being
imported unecessarily, when only imp_dbh is needed. This caused a
core dump in some cases. Thanks to Andy Maas at Proofpoint for his
execellent detective work!
* Small changes to Makefile.PL to make sure --ps-protocol works as
advertised.
* Updated install.html with current info about prepared statements and FC
RPM/YUM packages.
2005-08-04 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0002_1)
* Prepared statement support is default now. To turn it off
a parameter 'mysql_emulated_prepare' must be turned ON
* Better error handling in mysql_internal_execute_ps (renamed
from mysql_internal_execute41). Also free the result if error -
that could have been a memory bug
* Added a simply 'do' to t/35prepare.test to see if you can turn
off prepared statements in the 'do' call.
* Cleaned up a LOT of cruft. Added more 'caveat' blurbage to old
Mysql.pm lib, which will not work with prepared statements
2005-07-06 Parick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0001_3)
* Fix to ensure MYSQL_BIND is only defined when mysql

(Thanks to Brad Choate, Six Apart Ltd.)
2005-07-04 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0001_1)

uint not being available on windows unless you include
my_globals.h in dbdimp.h, which also breaks on unixen!

* Fix to bind_param to throw error when trying to bind a non-numeric as
numeric

LIMIT ?, ? placeholders works, which it doesn't.
* Fix that sets mysql_server_prepare to 0 if SQL statement is 'SHOW ...'
which is not supported by prepared statement API currently
2004-10-28 Rudolf Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9015_1)
* Merged Makefile.PL from 2.9005_3
* Bumped version number to 2.9015 for release of Dev Branch. Which
will become 2.9020 when tested and merged into HEAD.
* fixed typo/compiler warning in bind_param_guessing
'*testchar' should have been 'testchar'.
2004-10-20 Patrick Galbraith patg@mysql.com (Dev-2_9 - 2.9005)
* merged changes from 2.9005_1
* fix to blob in dbd_st_fetch (Alexey Stroganov ranger@mysql.com)
In case of BLOB/TEXT fields we allocate only 8192 bytes in dbd_describe()
for data. Here we know real size of field so we should increase buffer
size and refetch column value
2004-07-25 Patrick Galbraith patg@mysql.com (2.9004)

2003-10-26 Rudy Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9003)
* Applied patch from Aaron and Chuck that added basic testing of the
table_info/column_info functions [Aaron Ross <aross@plusthree.com>]
* Applied patch removing Jochen Wiedmann's contanct information and
also removing the restriction on CD ROM distribution.
[Jochen Wiedmen <joe@ispsoft.de>]
* The check for the innodb table type was broken so the transaction
tests were skipped even though the database supported transactions.
* :sql_types were not being inported in column info, so SQL_VARCAR was
thowing an error. Also, the :sql_types were not being pulled into
DBD::mysq::db package
* Patch for dbdadmin.t so that it respects username and password
[Alexey Stroganov <ranger@mysql.com>]
* Fix for memory leak in bind_param() introduced in 2.9002
(2.9002 changed bind_param so that changing the value of a scalar
after binding would not affect what was passed to execute eg:
$sth->bind_param(1,$foo);
$foo = 'bar'
$sth->execute() -- $foo would contain 'bar')
[reported by <shildreth@emsphone.com>]
* don't define dbd_discon_all so that mysql uses DBI's This fixes a
bug whereby DBD::mysql was dropping perl's destruct level.
* patch to myld so that it uses strict and fixes scoping problem
with $contents [Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>]
* Modified Makefile.PL so that it gives a usage message
if any unknown options are passed in.
* patch to INSTALL.pod on how to link DBD::mysql against
a static libmysqlclient [Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>]
2003-06-22 Rudy Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9002)
* moved pod into mysql.pm from mysql.pod
* Changed the default behaviour of mysql_found_rows, so now
'UPDATE table set field=?' will return the number of rows matched
and not the number of rows physically changed. You can get the old
behaviour back by adding "mysql_found_rows=0" to the dsn passed
to connect.
* Updated type_info_all() to be more inline with
what DBD::ODBC returns.
* Added attribute 'mysql_auto_reconnect' that allows the auto reconnect
behaviour to be toggled. :
** NOTE** The behaviour of auto reconnect has changed. If
either the MOD_PERL or the GATEWAY_INTERFACE environment variable is
set, auto_reconnect will default to ON; otherwise auto_reconnect
will default to off. Earlier versions of this driver would always
try to reconnect to the database on error; however, this is dangerous
because table locks could be lost without the application knowing.
* Fixed a segfault with failed reconnects that were trapped in an
eval. The next tine DBD::mysql tried to reconnect, the process
would segfault.
* Added statistics attribute, 'mysql_dbd_stats' which returns
a hash ref that contains 2 keys 'auto_reconnects_ok' and
'auto_reconnects_failed'.
* Fixed bug where strings that were used in numeric
context were not getting quoted on execute(). Now all
parameters are bound as varchar by default.
**NOTE** this is a change in behaviour that MAY cause problems
with some SQL statements. If quoted integers, for example,
cause any problems, use bind_param(<column_id>, undef, SQL_INTEGER)
to force a column to be bound as an integer.
* Added get_info() method. See 'perldoc DBI' for more info
* Added column_info(). See 'perldoc DBI' for more info [Tim Bunce]
2003-03-03 Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de> (2.1026)

and not 'undef'.
* Requires DBI 0.93. (I assume it still works with 0.91, but
whoever reinstalls Msql-Mysql-modules can well reinstall
DBI.)
* dbd/dbdimp.c: $sth->fetch* now inactivates the sth in case
of errors or no more data; this follows the specification of
the 'Active' attribute.

1998-01-20 Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de> (1.19_02)
* dbd/dbd.xs.in (quote): Fixed "int len" to "STRLEN len"; the
Irix compiler refuses to compile this. (A little bit picky,
a warning would really be sufficient here ...) My thanks to
Simon Matthews <sam@peritas.com>.
* Added "LISTINDEX" handling.
* Makefile.lib: Now always linking against libgcc.a when using gcc
and compiling for MySQL.
* tests/mysql.dbtest: Now using "IS NULL" in SQL queries instead

* Added support for mysql_use_result, requested by Jesse
Eversole <jee@marketdriven.com>.

subclassing works, reported by Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>.
1997-12-11 Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de> (1.1822)
* dbd/myMsql.c: DSN's like DBI:mysql:test;hostname=$host;port=$port

DBD::mysql for DBI - Written by Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>
97.09.27 V1.1812
Added t/50commit.t to test suite.
Included <embed.h> in myMsql.h for redefining my_setenv().
Made AutoCommit, Commit and Rollback DBI conformant.
Fixed reconnect problems with Mysql: mysql_port was 0 on some
systems.
Added support of mysql_real_connect to myMsql.c.
Fixed Msql::errno returning a char*.
Added lib/Bundle::Mysql.pm.
Fixed 'use Mysql' to 'require Mysql' in t/mysql2.t.
97.09.12 V1.1810
Fixed bug in dbd_st_FETCH_internal: newRV_noinc was used for
the return value. This resulted in invalid cache values,
reported by Michael Bletzinger
<Michael.Bletzinger@ssa.crane.navy.mil>
97.09.12 V1.1809
Adapted changes from DBD-Oracle 0.46 to 0.47; in particular
the files Driver.xst and dbd_xsh.h from the DBI distribution
are used now. (LongReadLen, LongTruncOk, ... are still
meaningless, but they are not that important for m(y)sql:
The complete results are in RAM anyways ...)
Fixed man page of DBD::M(y)SQL: "@names = $sth->{'NAME'}".
Added parameter completion for "set" command to dbimon.
97.09.08 V1.1808
Fixed bug in dbimon, a closing brace was missing causing a
syntax error.
Fixed problems in the Term::ReadLine::GNU support, reported
by Nem W. Schlecht (nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu).
Modified dbimon for internally using the Data::ShowTable
module. My thanks to Tim Bunce for the hint.
Compatibility fixes for SunOS and Solaris, supplied by
Neil Bowers (neilb@cre.canon.co.uk).
97.09.03 V1.1806
Fixed bug in Mysql.xs: $sth->numfields dumped core because no
check for a result was done.
Fixed bug in lib/Mysql/Statement.pm: Mysql::Statement.as_string
did not check for $sth->numfields != 0.
Added patch from Nem W. Schlecht (nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu)
for Term::ReadLine::GNU support to pmysql and dbimon.
97.09.03 V1.1805
Fixed bug in DBD::mysql: Executing a non-select statement
always returned -1 (unknown number of rows) although the
correct number was returned by $sth->rows().
Fixed bug in DBD::mysql: strlen was executed on a NULL
value when mysql_fetch_rows returned a NULL field.
Added all _ListField attributes to statement handles.
Added support for "LISTFIELDS <table>" to $sth->execute.
Modified $sth->func("_ListSelectedFields") and
$dbh->func("<table>", "_ListFields") to use the new
possibilities; in fact these are only stubs now.
Added dbimon.
Added some internal attributes for dbimon to DBD::mysql:
format_default_size, format_max_size, format_type_name
and format_right_justification.
97.08.30 V1.1804
Added "fancy", "quote", "separator" and "escape" commands to
pm(y)sql.PL, patch supplied by Nem W Schlecht
(nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu).
Modified pm(y)sql.PL and pmsql.PL so that it automatically
adapts pm(y)sql for use with Msql and Mysql, respectively.
Makefile.PL and M(y)sqlPerl/Makefile.PL now automatically
adapt lib/M(y)sql.pm, lib/M(y)sql/Statement.pm and
lib/DBD/mSQL.pm or lib/DBD/mysql.pm for use in Msql-modules
or Mysql-modules; just copy these files, rename them and
run "perl Makefile.PL".
97.08.29 V1.1803
Added mysql_errno()
Modified perl modules for use of $driver and isa($driver).
Modified Msql.xs and Mysql.xs for use of Package and
StPackage.
Modified test for fetch of non-result sth in akmisc.t: Msql
returns number of rows and not an sth.
97.08.27 Removed use of TEXT_TYPE from pmysql and Mysql/Statement.pm.
97.08.16 Modified mysql.xs, dbdimp.h and dbdimp.c for use in DBD::mSQL.
Now using Andreas König´s Makefile.PL from the DBD::mSQL
distribution.
Added check for disabled '-lgcc' on Linux; this leads to a
missing __moddi3 symbol in libmysqlclient.a, when running
mysql.so.
Added mysqlperl support.
97.08.02 Almost completely rewritten, with the exception of private
functions like _ListTables.
Implemented bind_param.
Test suite rewritten for portability.
Many sources moved from mysql.pm and mysql.xs to dbdimp.h;
mysql.pm and mysql.xs are now close to Oracle.xs and Oracle.pm.
97.07.28 Added $dbh->quote method.
Modified internal use of "char* statement" to "SV* statement".
Modified use of mysql_query to mysql_real_query. (The above
three things should fix blob problems hopefully.)
Bumped revision number to 2.00 because of API changes:
The connect method works now as described in the DBI man
page, compatibility to DBD::msql seems deprecated.
Heavy internal modifications in order to use DBIS->get_fbav();
this gives compatibility to DBI 0.88.
Modified test suite to use Test::Harness.
Added blob tests.
DBD::mysql for DBI - Written by Alligator Descartes <descarte@mcqueen.com>
96.06.22 Get new patched version 1.65 from gnat@frii.com
Added the memory bug patch to this.
96.06.18 Added pod documentation to mysql.pm and the possibility
to retreive insert_id. This was done by Nathan Torkington.
Fixed memory bug that sql results never was freed.
Now a result is freed when one calls the 'finish' action.
The patch was done by gareth@netcom.co.uk & Monty
96.05.27 Changed Makefile.PL after suggestions from Raymond Wiker
96.04.25 Changed the README and fixed a typo in mysql.xs
Changed version to DBD-mysql-1.63.1 to have a reference to mSQL-0.63
96.04.19 Updated with differences from DBD:mSQL-0.63
96.11.03 Changed from DBD:mysql-0.60pl10 to DBD:mysql-1.0 by Michael Widenius
Original ChangeLog:
18/07/95: Started.
Version 0.0.0 ( Totally pre-alpha! )
19/07/95:22:00 Code now basically seems to work. I've got connection to
a database, and clean disconnection.
23:45 I'm now working on the statement cycle stuff, which I've
mapped out. It's just a case of coding, which shouldn't
take too long, hopefully.
Posted notice of approaching doom to perldb-interest.
20/07/95:01:25 Fetching appears to work OK now. I need to read the API on
msqlFieldSeek, since I can't work out why fetch is returning
the same row over and over!
21/07/95:09:22 Added a field into imp_sth (currow) which keeps track of the
current row that's been fetched from the result struct. If I
can fix the return codes coming from fetchrow, it'll work!
21/07/95:10:30 Pondered bind variables in cursors. Since there isn't a bind
function in the API, I may have to frig the way that prepare/
execute works, ie, move the call to msqlQuery *after* it's
done some parsing for bind values......Hm.
21/07/95:10:35 Twiddled some bits in the fetchrow cycle.
23/07/95:15:50 Fetch is fetching a row, but it's not returning it to the
calling cycle, so I need to fart about with the sv stuff, which
is not amusing me greatly!
26/07/95:23:42 Decided in agreement with Andreas that the first release is
to be 0.61!
27/07/95:14:14 Finally! It fucking works! After splendid quantities of
hacking around with the prepare/execute/fetchrow/finish cycle
it's actually returning rows correctly!
NOTE: The SV handling within dbd_describe is shot to buggery,
but I've kludged it in mSQL.xs::fetchrow to do a
sv_2mortal instead of a sv_mortalcopy.
27/07/95:14:22 Tidied up mSQL.xs::finish to do an msqlFreeResult. Annoyingly
enough, there's no return code to msqlFR, so I can't test
whether or not it's worked! Bah!
27/07/95:15:15 Altered test to do several bits and bobs. I'm testing INSERT
statements now. These only execute an msqlQuery, but the
stuff needs to continue to pass through the execute and finish
stages cleanly.......*sigh*
27/07/95:15:22 My dubious 'INSERT' check hack works, sort of. Pity it converts
the entire statement to lower case.....!
27/07/95:17:33 Twiddled some more stuff so it seems to do CREATE TABLE,
INSERT statements too. Of course, there's no error checking
yet, but it seems to be OK........Hm.
27/07/95:17:38 Mailed out a statement saying the 0.61 code would be up for
grabs as of Monday 31st July! Still waiting on Alpha reports.
27/07/95:12:11 Fixed the lower-case all the INSERT/CREATE &c. statement bug.
It now checks to see if you're in quotes.
28/07/95:xx:xx Got a report back from Andreas to say compilation barfs on
his Indy. Fixed a load of do_error bugs in dbdimp.c.
13/08/95:18:25 Finally got back to this after a rather long break. Fixed some
Makefile.PL bugs that were kicking about. Finally fixed
( or appeared to fix ) the strlen signedness bug in dbdimp.c
that may halt compilation on the Indy.
Emailed Karsten the debug info to see what's causing problems
on the NeXTStep platform.
14/08/95:13:48 Got email back from Andreas. signedness broke mSQL.xs as well!
Fixed that and emailed him a quick patch.
14/08/95:14:45 Andreas now has a successful compile. The tests are crap, but
appear to ( sort of ) work.
29/08/95:23:18 Converted driver across to new DBI format. It now appears
to compile, install and run fairly reasonably. There are
some serious messes that need cleared up in it, but it's
fundamentally OK, I hope. Announced for pl0 testing.
04/09/95:15:04 Started back on getting the 0.60pl0 out. Tidied up the parsing
of statements for INSERT, CREATE &c statements. It just takes
the first word of the statement now.
04/09/95:15:19 Looks OK. Tested against DBI 0.63 and looks reasonable.
Announced release of 0.60pl1 and put up for ftp.
20/09/95:15:20 Patched a load of stuff including NULLs, and local device
handling ( SV ). Released pl4, which was bogus. Released
pl5 which should fix those issues.
20/09/95:22:17 Fixed overhang of old DBI bug with DBIc_ENDING remaining in
DESTROY in mSQL.xs. Spotted by Marti Rijken and fixed.
( Hopefully! )
18/10/95:15:13 Added in the missing API chunks for ListTables, ListDBs
and ListFields.
ListFields isnae working, but I'll fix that sometime soon....
05/11/95:11:32 Fixed $sth->readblob to return undef. Fixed Makefile.PL,
dbdimp.h, mSQL.h, dbdimp.c for release of 0.60pl7. Also tested

number of rows returned ( or affected ) by a statement.o

we can get the scale of the field.
