Changes for version 0.96
- x test suites are driven by app.conf (App::Options) (dbdriver/dbhost/dbname/dbuser/dbpass) (and they succeed trivially when no app.conf is set up) x App::Repository::DBI - change the meaning of param.eq, .eq means =, not infer IN x App::Repository::DBI - return 0 rather than 0E0 from update() x App::SessionObject::RepositoryObjectSet - add max_age feature to serve as default if not provided in get_objects({max_age => 0}) x App::Repository::DBI - dbexpr_update option sprintf()s using more than one $value (5 actually) for 'if(%s=5,%s,3)' expressions x App::Repository::DBI - add support for literal aggregation functions x App::Repository::DBI - rename summarykeys to group_by x App::Repository::DBI - enhanced debug_sql output on _do() x App::Repository::DBI - protect against undef params x App::Repository::DBI - retry when _connect() gets a Lost connection x App::Repository::DBI - _get_default_columns() use configured columns for get_hashes() etc. when no columns specified x App::Repository::DBI - table-level hints now work (main table only) (MySQL-compatible) x App::Repository/::DBI - _get_default_columns($table) returns {default_columns}, {phys_columns}, or {columns} x App::ValueDomain::RepositoryTables - a list of tables from a repository x App::ValueDomain::RepositoryTableColumns - a list of column from a table in a repository x App::ValueDomain::Repository - added EACH as a special kind of {extra_values} x App::ValueDomain::Repository - added {extra_values} and {extra_labels} attribs x App::Repository - (logical to physical) table redirection x App::Repository::evaluate_expressions() - can now evaluate expressions for column definitions x App::Repository::sort() - can now sort arrays of hashrefs as well as arrays of arrayrefs x App::Repository::DBI - add _do($sql) method - same as $db->{dbh}->do($sql) with added debugging features The "_" reminds you this is not really a portable method in the spirit of the App::Repository abstraction. It is provided so that you won't be tempted to use the work-around described above. Any need to use this method is an indication that the API still needs work. Please send feedback to me. NOTE: _do() works for select as well as insert/update/delete statements, returning the array of rows x App::ValueDomain::Repository - add extra_values, extra_labels, and order_by x App::SessionObject::RepositoryObjectSet - enable relevant "columns" to be configured (limits them) x App::SessionObject::RepositoryObjectDomain - can configure mappings of domain params to individual object set params x $rep->new_object() calls class-specific (RepositoryObject) _init() method to set up object values x $rep->new_object() now adds configured "default" values x $rep->new_object() now throws an exception for NULL values in "not_null" and alternate key columns x $rep->new_object() has option { temp => 1 } that doesn't create the RepositoryObject in the repository
Modules

a repository which relies on a DBI interface to a relational database (no caching)
a repository which stores its data in flat files
a MySQL database, accessed through the Repository interface
Interface for data persistence
A domain of repository object sets bounded by a set of query parameters
A set of repository objects described by a set of query parameters
a set of values and their labels
