('GSM' is Greg Sabino Mullane, greg@turnstep.com)
2.0.1
- Use version.pm [CPAN bug #33206] [GSM]
- Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT #define to improve performance on threaded Perls
- Raise the minimum DBI version to 1.52.
- Allow arrayrefs into bind_col (CPAN bug #33193) [GSM]
- Remove '//' style comments to make strict ANSI compilers happy.
(Trevor Inman) [CPAN bug #33089]
- Force client encoding of UTF8 for some tests.
- Make 03dbmethod.t pass minor test for version 8.1.9
[CPAN bug #33282]
- Add a local copy of dbivport.h
2.0.0 Released February 2008
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.

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@wsi.com]
- Fix memory leak when using savepoints. (CPAN bug #29791)
[airwave@cpan.org]
- 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]

Thanks to Daniel Browning for spotting this. [GSM]

(CPAN bug #20282) [GSM]
- Change $dbh->{User} to $dbh->{Username} [GSM]

[Dominic Mitchell <dom@semantico.com>]
- $dbh->prepare() rewrites the SQL statement into an internal form,
striping out comments and whitespace, and if PostgreSQL > 7.3 takes the
stripped statement and passes that to Postgres' PREPARE statement,
then rewrites the statement as 'EXECUTE "DBD::PG::cached_query n"
($1, $2, ... $n, $n+1)' for DBD::Pg's execute.
-- Currently disabled until PREPARE works a little better
- Allows the use of :n and :foo bind params. So:
(SELECT * FROM foo WHERE 1 = :this and 2 = :that) will now work.
- Complains on execute when unbound bind params are submitted
(instead of defaulting to NULL)
- Switched over to use driver.xst.
- pg_error() removes \n's rather than truncating the message on the first \n.
- Fixed statement scan problem where the preparse of
"SELECT foo[3:33] from bar" was scanning :33 as a placeholder
- Moved the quoting of bind values out of execute() and into
bind -- as there is no need to requote the value every time execute
is called.
- :veryverylongplaceholdername == Long walk, short pier -- fixed.
- quote() is now in C and uses same code as bind_param.
- Quoting and dequoting now use libpq quoting functions where available
(I still need to take the libpq functions swiped out of quote.c and move
it into libpqswip.c with license info &c., and switch ifndefs to ifdefs)
- bind_param() will convert from 1,0 to TRUE/FALSE when pg_type
is PGBOOLOID.
- Fixed many heap buffer overruns.
- Added support for the get_info() method [GSM]
- Added tests for POD validation [Mark Stosberg]
- Several improvements to column_info, including:
- Fixed column_info so NULLABLE field shows correctly. [kevin@sysexperts.com]
- REMARKS field works now [Mark Stosberg]
- COLUMN_DEF fixed
- COLUMN_SIZE fixed
- pg_constraint column added to display column constraints
- additional documentation and tests added

db connection fails. [GSM]

"use DBD::Pg qw(:pg_types);". [David Wheeler]
- Deprecated 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
