Version 3.4.1 (released August 20, 2014)
- Allow '%' again for the type in table_info() and thus tables()
It's not documented or tested in DBI, but it used to work until
DBD::Pg 3.4.0, and the change broke DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, which
uses type='%'.
[Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker]
Version 3.4.0 (released August 16, 2014)
- Cleanup and improve table_info()
[Mike Pomraning <mjp@pilcrow.madison.wi.us>] (github issue #7)
table_info() type searching now supports TABLE, VIEW, SYSTEM TABLE,
SYSTEM VIEW, and LOCAL TEMPORARY
table_info() object searching fully supports the above types.
table_info() object searching no longer ignores invalid types - a filter
of 'NOSUCH' will return no rows, and 'NOSUCH,LOCAL TEMPORARY' will
return only temp objects.
tableinfo() type filters are strictly matched now ... previously a
search for SYSTEM TABLE would have fetched plain TABLE objects.
table_info() now treats temporary tables and temporary views as LOCAL TEMPORARY
- Make sure column_info() and table_info() can handle materialized views.
[Greg Sabino Mullane] (CPAN bug #97032)

(CPAN bug #4799) [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- pg_notifies now catches and reports when PQconsumeInput fails.
(CPAN bug #4027) [nmueller@cs.wisc.edu]
- Enabled the "pg_bool_tf" database handle [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- Added required fields to the type_info() method:
SQL_DATA_TYPE, SQL_DATETIME_SUB, and INTERVAL PRECISION [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- Fixed bug where the table_attributes() method was incorrectly
removing the NULLABLE column. [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- Fixed bug where case was not being preserved by the
foreign_key_info() method [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- a fetch on any column that had a type that did not have an entry
in the type_info array would segfault DBD::Pg.
(CPAN bugs #4818,4432) [Rudy Lippan]
- Duplicate rows bug with column_info() REMARKS has been fixed. However,
support for Postgres 7.1.x which worked briefly for 1.31 has now been
dropped for this feature. [Mark Stosberg]
- Bumped required Perl version to 5.6.1 in Makefile.PL. We were already
already requiring 5.6.1 for Pg.pm since 1.31.
- Removed extra "return" statement in quote.c to make Solaris happy
(CPAN bug #4419) [Rudy Lippan]
- Changed get_info(29) to return (") instead of (\")
(CPAN bug #4829) [Greg Sabino Mullane]
Version 1.31 (released November 17, 2003)
- $dbh->{TYPE} now returns SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP instead of 1114 for
timestamp columns. (In 1.31_x {x| x<8} $sth->{TYPE} returned 0
but reported by ["Hirche, Joachim" <Joachim.Hirche@cimconcepts.com>]).
- Raised required versions to Perl 5.6.1 and DBI 1.35
- Fix syntax error related to pg_server_version (CPAN bugs #2492,2755,3121)
- Cache multiple calls to pg_server_version.
- Notice messages generated by the database now use the perl
warning mechanism instead of going to stderr.
[Dominic Mitchell <dom@semantico.com>]
- $dbh->prepare() rewrites the SQL statement into an internal form,
striping out comments and whitespace, and if PostgreSQL > 7.3 takes the
stripped statement and passes that to Postgres' PREPARE statement,
then rewrites the statement as 'EXECUTE "DBD::PG::cached_query n"
($1, $2, ... $n, $n+1)' for DBD::Pg's execute.
-- Currently disabled until PREPARE works a little better
- Allows the use of :n and :foo bind params. So:
(SELECT * FROM foo WHERE 1 = :this and 2 = :that) will now work.
- Complains on execute when unbound bind params are submitted
(instead of defaulting to NULL)
- Switched over to use driver.xst.
- pg_error() removes \n's rather than truncating the message on the first \n.
- Fixed statement scan problem where the preparse of
"SELECT foo[3:33] from bar" was scanning :33 as a placeholder
- Moved the quoting of bind values out of execute() and into
bind -- as there is no need to requote the value every time execute
is called.
- :veryverylongplaceholdername == Long walk, short pier -- fixed.
- quote() is now in C and uses same code as bind_param.
- Quoting and dequoting now use libpq quoting functions where available
(I still need to take the libpq functions swiped out of quote.c and move
it into libpqswip.c with license info &c., and switch ifndefs to ifdefs)
- bind_param() will convert from 1,0 to TRUE/FALSE when pg_type
is PGBOOLOID.
- Fixed many heap buffer overruns.
- Added support for the get_info() method [Greg Sabino Mullane]
- Added tests for POD validation [Mark Stosberg]
- Several improvements to column_info, including:
- Fixed column_info so NULLABLE field shows correctly. [kevin@sysexperts.com]
- REMARKS field works now [Mark Stosberbg]
- COLUMN_DEF fixed
- COLUMN_SIZE fixed
- pg_constraint column added to display column constraints
- additional documentation and tests added
- make test is now more intelligent and will bail out early if
db connection fails. [Greg Sabino Mullane]

[Rudy Lippan]

[Jason E. Stewart]
- Added eg/lotest.pl as a demonstration of using large objects in buffers
rather than files. Contributed by Garth Webb.
- Added LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality. Contributed by Alex Pilosov.
- Added constants for common PostgreSQL data types, plus simple tests to
make sure that they work. These are exportable via
"use DBD::Pg qw(:pg_types);". [David Wheeler]
- Deprecated the undocumented (and invalid) use of SQL_BINARY in
bind_param() and documented the correct approach: "bind_param($num,
$val { pg_type => PG_BYTEA });". Use of SQL_BINARY in bind_param() will
now issue a warning if $h->{Warn} is true. [David Wheeler]
- Removed invalid (and broken) support for SQL_BINARY in quote().
[David Wheeler]
- Added App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL to the distribution (but it won't
be installed) to help Makefile.PL find the PostgreSQL include and
library files. [David Wheeler]
