Changes for version 0.68

  • ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Updated the thank you list in the README file (you too can be listed by sending me useful bug reports, patches, suggestions, or reminding that you already did so and I forgot ;)
  • Allow the Driver's ->schemas method to take connection params, wherever possible. This allows Alzabo::Create::Schema methods like ->create, ->sync_backend_sql, and ->sync_backend to work properly when the database server is on another machine. Patch by Ilya Martynov.
  • Added Alzabo::Runtime::*Row->is_live method to easily distinguish between real and potential rows.
  • Did some profiling of data retrieval (Alzabo::Runtime bits) and optimized some of the most heavily used pieces of Alzabo.
  • Added the Alzabo::Runtime::Schema->prefetch_all and Alzabo::Runtime::Schema->prefetch_all_but_blobs convenience methods.
  • Added a ->count method to the cursor classes.
  • Added ->is_integer, ->is_floating_point, ->is_date, ->is_datetime, ->is_time, and ->generic_type methods to column objects.
  • The Alzabo::Driver->schemas method now takes connection parameters. See your specific driver subclass for details on which. Bug report by Ilya Martynov.
  • Added Alzabo::Runtime::Schema->disconnect method. Patch by Ilya Martynov.
  • Make the Makefile.PL act gracefully when it is invoked without a tty. Patch by Ilya Martynov.
  • The quoting of identifiers (table/column names) is now optional, and _off_ by default. In profiling I found that a non-trivial amount of time was being spent quoting these, and in most cases it's not necessary. There is now a Alzabo::Runtime::Schema->set_quote_identifiers method that can be used to change this behavior.
  • Identifiers are always quoted when using Alzabo::Create::* with Postgres, however.
  • Did a fair amount of profiling in order to optimize Alzabo's data fetching. In general, Alzabo::Runtime::* operations should be faster.
  • Added Alzabo::Runtime::Column->alias which is useful when executing queries via the Alzabo::Runtime::Schema and Alzabo::Runtime::Table ->select methods.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Alzabo::MethodMake generated "lookup column/table" methods will return if there is no matching entry in the related table, which is important when the two tables are independent. Previously it would have been a runtime error (attempting to call a method on an undefined value).
  • Fix warning from Row->update. Patch by Ilya Martynov.
  • Alzabo::Runtime::PotentialRow's id_as_string method was misnamed id. The docs had it wrong for all classes.
  • Catch where clauses that contain non-column/function objects as left hand side value (like if you accidentally pass in a table object).
  • The Postgres TEXT column type is now considered a blob, not a character type column.
  • There was a fatal error when creating an n-to-n relationship if only columns were given, without tables. This was fixed with a patch from Dan Martinez.
  • Explicitly check for errors after calling $dbh->func.
  • There was a bug when trying to use the schema creator to create relationships involving more than one column.
  • Fixed a bug where a query using the Alzabo::Runtime::Table->one_row could cause an exception if no rows were found.
  • Alzabo::Create::Schema->sync_backend was not passing through the connection parameters it was getting to the ->create method, causing failures. Patch from Ilya Martynov.
