(Erik Bertelsen, erik@mediator.uni-c.dk) * dbd/dbdimp.c: One more time fixing reconnect problems with Mysql and old client libraries (without mysql_real_connect it's just too ugly! :-( 1998-03-15 Jochen Wiedmann (1.19_11) * Makefile.PL: Fixed Bugs in _OdbcParse and version numbers. * dbd/dbimon.in: Fixed bugs in export mode (Nem W. Schlecht ) 1998-02-26 Jochen Wiedmann (1.19_10) * M(y)sqlPerl now emulated by DBI drivers. * dbd/dbdimp.c: Added $dbh->{'info'} and $dbh->{'thread_id'} (mysql only) * dbd/dbimon.in: Fixed minor bug in "rel db test" * dbd/dbimon.in (Connect): Added noecho mode for entering passwords. * dbd/myMsql.c: Fixed bugs in OdbcParse. 1998-02-06 Jochen Wiedmann (1.19_03) * dbd/dbd.xs.in: Fixed $dbh->quote(undef) to return "NULL" 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. * Added a missing DROP TABLE in ak-dbd.t. * Added ODBC style DSN's like DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost. 1998-01-20 Jochen Wiedmann (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 . * 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 of "= NULL". (Required as of mysql 3.21.22) 1998-01-18 Jochen Wiedmann (1.19_01) * README: Added hint for not using msqlperl mailing lists except for MsqlPerl and MysqlPerl related things. * Makefile.lib: Modified version number to contain underscores, so that CPAN considers 1.18xx as the correct version. * dbd/dbimon.in: Leaving pager mode worked unreliable; fixed.

"#endxtract". * nodbd/statement.pm.in, nodbd/nodbd.pm.in, nodbd/pmsql.in: Using "#xtract now". * Reorganized source tree (again). Wed Oct 29 00:41:41 1997 Jochen Wiedmann (1.1819) * nodbd/bundle.pm.in: Fixed syntax error. * Fixed distribution problems. Not all .pm files have been included. (Only PAUSE should have noticed.) Mon Oct 27 00:50:08 1997 Jochen Wiedmann (1.1818) * nodbd/Makefile.PL.in: Fixed dependencies for "xtract" files. * nodbd/nodbd.xs.in: Fixed ISNUM attribute in fetchinternal. * nodbd/statement.pm.in: Yet one more fix in the new as_string method. :-( * nodbd/statement.pm.in: Msql::Statement::maxlength caches its return value now Sat Oct 25 16:30:01 1997 Jochen Wiedmann (1.1817) * Makefile.PL,dbd/Makefile.PL.in,nodbd/Makefile.PL.in: Added dependencies for files being created from dbd and nodbd directories via the "xtract" script. * nodbd/pmsql.in,nodbd/statement.pm.in: Fixed minor problems with mSQL1; suggested by Andreas Koenig * dbd/dbd.pm.in,tests/ak-dbd.t: Removed support and tests for the old connect methods. * nodbd/statement.pm.in: Fixed bug in Msql::Statement::maxlength.

Included 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 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 " to $sth->execute. Modified $sth->func("_ListSelectedFields") and $dbh->func("
", "_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 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 'make test' which now works! 23/11/95:19:22 Fixed ListFields from the pointers given to me by Sven V. 24/11/95:03:13 Fixed error handling in all the func methods 24/11/95:13:01 Added 'NumRows' method to statement handles to return the number of rows returned ( or affected ) by a statement.o pre-release distributed to ANDK 25/11/95:09:20 Real release released! No major problems reported. 30/12/95:18:10 Altered mSQL.pm to allow for hostname:port style connections to known remote port machines. Sets ENV var since the msqlConnect API call doesn't support port arguments. 30/12/95:18:15 Added 'length' key into the hash returned by ListFields, so we can get the scale of the field. 24/03/96:22:34 Fixed bugs and upgraded versioning for perl5.002 to work properly. Released as pl10 -> Lamentable lack of ChangeLog information here! 27/03/97: Tidied up things with regard to 0.61 release. 28/03/97: Patched NULL as undef bug
