Revision history for Perl extension DBIx::Abstract.
1.02 2014-01-14
- Update documentation, etc, to point to github version
- Make SQL generation deterministic, rather than depending on hash
order, to ease testing and predictability.
- Misc minor code cleanups.
- Move to more of my standard Dist::Zilla config.
1.01 2011-08-23
- Update to modern build practices.
- Make tests work with SQLite, so they don't need to be configured.
- Document its depricated status.
1.006 2005-04-23
- Fixed a bug discovered by Jan Martin Mathiassen
<reaper@mindriot.as>. If you pass in a password but no username
it's supposed to ignore the password. Instead it was clearing it
in the hash that you passed in but still using it.
- Removed Test::More and Test::Builder from the distribution-- put
Test::Simple in the prerequisites.
1.005 2003-03-14 -- The "I broke the build and install process" release
- Fixed a stupid problem where Test::Builder and Test::More would be
installed by this package. Ack.
- Made the Makefile.PL default to not providing a database driver.
Tests will be skipped if you do this. (This way automated module
testing won't break when it shouldn't.)
- Added a dependency on Scalar::Util.
1.004 2003-02-17
- ensure_connection did not work correctly if DBI was set to die on
errors.
- Back ported test suite and makefile from 1.1. Back ported patch to
fix mysqlPP compatibility issues.
- Made clone weaken references it takes so that it won't leak memory.
Added memory leak test.
- A bug fix relating to select_one_* and select_all_* where if the
query failed and returned undef, the routine would crash. This is
now fixed and it just propagates the undef.
1.003 2002-09-23
- Fixed Win32 bug found by Kanji T Bates.
- Connect for oracle can look a bit more like those for other DBD
drivers now. You may now specify your SID in the dbname field.
1.002 2001-09-05
- Fixed bug introduced in 1.001 where trying to read ->opt always
produced undef.
1.001 2001-09-05
- Made it so that opt can now take any DBI attribute.
1.000 2001-09-04
- Now produces a better error that config/DSN is not defined.
- When the DBIx::Abstract object is destroyed it usually closes any
associated database handles (if it's the last clone alive), now it
will only do this if it created the handle. This way, if you pass
in a handle it will survive its use by DBIx::Abstract.
0.96 2001-07-07
- Fixed stupid bug that made it not accept DBI handles. I can't
believe I actually took eight months to check this in.
0.95 2000-11-12
- Changed how CVSVERSION and LAST_CHANGE are calculated.
- Made it so that you can pass routines literal strings instead of
variables (variables are used with bind_params when possible) by
passing a scalar reference.
- I also allow array references to do this (in some circumstances)
but this is deprecated.
- Made connect optionally accept DBI handles instead of connection
info, by recommendation of Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com>.
- Changed how self was obtained to be (IMHO) stylistically better.
0.94 2000-08-04
- Removed an annoying warn that only shows up unpredictably. I
think it has to do with Perls garbage collection not working the
way I thought it worked. Meanwhile I may have fixed the
undocumented dataseek method. But probably not.
- Made it so that updates and inserts can produce nulls, eg:
$dbh->update('foo',{bar=>undef});
Would set the 'bar' column to NULL.
- Fixed tyop, s/STOCK TRACE/STACK TRACE/g.
- Made connected method safer. It won't crash if the DBI handle is
invalid or non-existent.
0.93 2000-04-17
- Fixed a problem with cloning. Clones other then the first clone
were getting a copy of the clone list. This caused unexpected
calls to the classes DESTROY method. This produced warnings, but
there shouldn't have been any errors.
0.921 2000-04-07
- Well I managed to check in the last version without including the
bug fix.
- Added select_one_to_array and select_one_to_arrayref.
- Fixed a nasty little bug involving CLONES. It had been failing to
register clones of clones. This was causing a memory leak.
0.920 2000-04-07
- Added ability to inserts with literal values.
0.910 2000-03-31
- Fixed bug in make test that caused it to fail when a password was
needed for testing. This didn't effect me as my database accepts
anonymous connections to the test database over loopback.
- Fixed some warnings when username or password were undefined.
0.900 2000-03-03
- Changed name to DBIx::Abstract in preparation for addition to
CPAN.
- Updated README to be accurate regarding the current version.
- Fixed a bug where an empty where would produce invalid SQL.
- Changed version to reflect the fact that it is VERY close to being
ready for 1.0.
0.079 2000-03-03
- Fixed a bug where an empty where would produce invalid SQL.
- Fixed a bug that caused death under S
0.078 2000-02-18
- Added 'saveSQL' option which, with each query, stuffs the generated
SQL into the 'lastsql' key in the self payload.
- Changed logging code for sql to log a single string (with quoted
parameters) instead of a string with ?'s and a bind_params array.
0.07.7 2000-01-19
- Fixed some memory leaks (these were only a problem if you were
creating SQL::DBI objects in a loop).
- Moved from test.pl to t/basic.t for better testing.
0.07.6 1999-12-29
- Another dumb bug... tried calling __logwrite before I had actually
created the SQL::DBI object.
0.07.5 1999-12-21
- Found stupid bug where if you called a statement handle specific
method before doing a query (and creating one) it would crash.
Normally I would shrug my shoulders and say "Don't be dumb", but
it is handy to be able to call "finish" regardless.
0.07.4 1999-12-09
- Made select_one_to_hashref and select_all_to_hashref accept the same
parameters as select.
- Made select accept both table and tables, as well as field and
fields.
0.07.3 1999-12-03
- Fixed bug Mike <michael@mint.net> found in the new special happy
join syntax. Maybe I should have tested it. Created more bugs,
then fixed those too.
0.07.2 1999-11-02
- Fixed the bug JasonJ <kyroraz@jmac.org> found. The connected and
the reconnect methods were failing due to a call to logwrite (the
real method name is __logwrite). I've also added tests for this
to the 'make test'.
- Added "join" and "group" params to select. This allows group bys
and easier joins.
0.07.1 1999-07-28
- Made it so that wheres can have arrays nested in them.
- Added code to make where generation code easier to debug.
0.07.0 1999-06-25
- Changed version numbering system so that I can have major and
minor releases more easily.
- Fixed a warning in select about a twice 'my'ed variable, thanks
Jmac.
- Fixed a bug that stopped people from passing a DBI data_source to
connect.
- Fixed logging to include @bind_params.
- Added warnings to test
- Changed all doubled quoted strings that didn't need to be double
quoted single quotes.
- Changed connect to log if it fails to connect. Improved die if
SQL::DBI is unable to create a data source.
- Added method ``connected''. It returns true if dbh->{'Active'} is
true.
- Added method ``reconnect''. Reconnects if this object has been
connected before.
- Added method ``ensure_connection''. Ensures that the object is
connected and that the connection is valid (by doing a ``SELECT
1''). Tries to reconnect if it isn't connected. Dies if it is
unable to provide a connection.
- Changed select so that table is optional. That is, db->select(1)
will produce ``SELECT 1'' instead of ``SELECT 1 FROM''
- Updated documentation to reflect that loglevel 0 is used for fatal
errors.
0.06 1999-04-23
- Fixed documentation where it used "is like" instead of "like".
- Modified all routines to use bind_params instead of 'quote'.
This should only effect users in positive ways, if at all.
- Changed connect to use 'dbname' instead of 'db' for compatibility
with ODBC. This change won't break legacy code: If you use 'db' it
will be renamed to 'dbname' for you.
- Changed DEFAULT connect type to simply generate an arbitrary
data_source based on the config hash you pass. So if you pass:
{ driver=>'foo', bar=>'baz', blat='bar' }
Your data_source will be dbi:foo:bar=baz;blat=bar
0.05 1999-03-23
- Added "kill kill kill" and "die die die" as per jak's suggestion.
- Changed "kill kill kill" and "die die die" to all caps as per
jmac's suggestion.
- Added a few, undocumented "Mysql" compatibility functions
- Made insert, replace and update accept scalars as well as hashses
for all of their parameters.
- Documented the new alternative interface for passing all
parameters.
- Fixed bug in changes file... 0.03 and 0.04 were listed with the
wrong dates.
0.04 1999-02-26
- Added commit and rollback pass throughs.
- Added 'AutoCommit' option which works like DBH hash value, with
one difference: It will warn instead of die if you give it an invalid
value.
- Added DESTROY method. Now handles finish and disconnect calls on
its own.
0.03 1999-02-23
- Changed method of selecting the DBI datasource, should be easier
to add new datasources now.
- Now allows the datasource to be passed in as a scalar (for
databases not explicitly supported). This should allow this
module to work with any database supported by DBI.
- Now stores all of the information used to create the DBI
connection just in case we need it later.
- Changed fetchrow_hash to return values the same way
Mysql->fetchhash does. This should stop
'while(%hash=$db->fetchrow_hash)' constructs from breaking.
- Added dataseek function. Currently this is only useful with the
mysql driver, which is why it isn't documented yet. Hopefully
something like this is available with the other database drivers,
however if it isn't then i will remove it. (So don't use it yet!)
- Removed undocumented "join" feature of select. It was possible to
do it without an extra feature.
- Made all functions accept hashes as well as parameter lists. This
will be reaching the documentation in the next release, once it's
a bit more polished.
0.02a 1999-01-20
- Argh. Made it so that you can actually do a 'make install'.
(Broke with change to SQL::DBI.)
0.02 1999-01-14
- Changed name to SQL:DBI from Shashou.
0.01 1999-01-06
- Built a proper package for the module using h2xs
- Moved change log to 'Changes' file.
- Added the ability to support drivers other then MySQL. Now has
PostgreSQL support.
0.00 1999-01-05
- Added CHANGE LOG section.
- Started versioning (version 0.0)
- Moved PERLDOC section to bottom
- Made methods return $self my default
- Improved examples
