I've uploaded release 2.03 (no, that's not a typo, 2.02 got uploaded
too, but I found a typo after it had started mirroring...) of sybperl
to "CPAN"/authors/id/MEWP/sybperl-2.03.tar.gz (see below).
This is sybperl 2.03.
This version includes improvements to both the CTlib and DBlib
modules:
- Sybase::CTlib::ct_sql() can now return an array of references to
associative arrays (one for each row).
- Sybase::CTlib::ct_fetchable() uses a precomputed hash to check
the fetchable status (suggested by Gisle Aas).
- Added Sybase::CTlib::ct_cmd_alloc to allow multiple CS_COMMAND
structures with a single connection.
- Added Sybase::CTlib::ct_cmd_realloc to drop and realloc the
current CS_COMMAND structure.
- Added Sybase::DBlib::db*opt() calls. The dbsetopt() call was
implemented in version 1.0xx but somehow did not get recoded
in 2.x.
- Sybase::DBlib::sql() can now return an array of references to
associative arrays (one for each row).
- Logging for dbwritetext() has been enabled by adding an additional
(optional) $log parameter. I'm not very happy with the calling
sequence (it's getting further and further from the C version), but
that's the cost of not doing it right from the start, I guess...
It was not possible to enable System 10 features in the Sybase::DBlib
module (the default 4.6.1 behaviour was always used). I have changed
this to ALWAYS use System 10 behaviour (in particular for
numeric/decimal/identity data retrieval) if the DB-Library revision
supports it.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug Fixes:
BugId Description
146 Need multiple CS_COMMAND structures for ct_cursor
operations.
147 $date->calc() changes both the original $date and
the new date.
148 Sybperl.pm does not export $DB_IN, $DB_OUT.
151 Sybperl.pm does not define &dbwritetext().
152 Sybperl.pm defines $main::ComputeID, sybperl 1.0xx
used $main::ComputeId.
155 Retrieving large integers (of numeric or decimal
data types) creates floating point data in
exponential notation.
156 dbsetversion() does not work.
123 Allow logging for dbwritetext().
