Version 1.001, released January 17,2002
---------------------------------------
Fixed bug in UPDATE that caused the new value to be a hash
rather than a scalar.
Version 1.0, released January 15, 2002
--------------------------------------
This is the first CPAN release of the pure perl version of the
module. It was previously released in an XS version by Jochen
Wiedman who has turned over maintenance of it to me.
The new Pure Perl version of SQL::Statement supports everything
supported by the XS version and, additionally, at least partial
support for the following features that are not supported at all
by the XS version:
* Explicit and implicit joins
* Table name aliases
* Set functions
* String functions
* String concatenation
* Numeric expressions
* IN predicate
* BETWEEN predicate
* Alphabetic comparison in WHERE clauses
* Ordering of text that looks like a number
* Verbose error messages for both Parsing and Execution errors
