DBD::Sybase is a driver for the perl DBI (database interface) module. It
requires the Sybase Open Client library (version 10.0 or later) to
build and run.

This is a bug fix release. If you are using 0.12, or if you are using ?
style placeholders you should *definitely* upgrade.


>From the CHANGES file:

Release 0.13

       Bug fix release - binding undef (NULL) variables when using
       ? style placeholders didn't work.
       Incorrect login didn't get flagged properly (this bug was
       introduced in 0.11.)
       Added database attribute to the connect() call.

Release 0.12

       Bug fix release - recent versions of DBI make an array that
       DBD::Sybase uses read-only, causing errors when multiple
       result sets are retrieved where the second result set is wider
       (has more columns) than the first one.

Release 0.11

       Adds support for multiple $sth for a single $dbh (this is done
       by openeing a new connection in prepare() if the previously
       prepared statement is still active.
       Add support for date formatting via $dbh->func($fmt,
       '_date_fmt').
       Added two new connect attributes: scriptName and
       hostname. Setting these can help identify processes in the
       Sybase sysprocesses table.


This version should be available in a day or so from your local CPAN
archive, and is available now from my home page at
http://www.mbay.net/~mpeppler.
