Changes for version 0.88

  • ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Added a new option when creating a column, "default_is_raw", which can be used to allow for a function like NOW() as a column default.
  • Added an "--automated" option for Build.PL, to force it to just use default prereqs. Also added other options to be used with this one, see "perl Build.PL --help" for detalis.
  • The Alzabo::Driver classes will now transparently reconnect to the DBMS if you attempt to use them in a child process after a fork. This prevents various problems that can occur if you attempt to share a DBI handle between two processes. One notable problem is that the parent's DBI handle is closed when the child exits.
  • Added support for (VAR)BINARY type columns in MySQL. Request by Martin Groenemeyer. RT Ticket #16338.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Alzabo::Table->foreign_keys_by_table() and foreign_keys_by_column() could return the same object more than once when using multiple-column foreign keys. Reported by Rainer Rohmfeld. RT Ticket #13885.
  • Calling connect() on a driver object (via a schema object) with different parameters did not reconnect if the existing handle was still good. This was explicitly opposite what the docs said the code was doing. RT Ticket #17942.
  • Fix bug in reverse engineering function indexes in Postgres. The reverse engineering code always ended up thinking all of the columns in the table were used in the index.
  • Fix failing MySQL test in 03-runtime.t. The problem was the test, not the Alzabo core. Reported by Alex McLintock.
  • Fixed adding too many "=cut" directives in docs generated by Alzabo::MethodMaker.
  • Fixed SQL generation for the Postgres functions CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, which should not have parentheses after them.
  • Documented that DATE_TRUNC() is a support Pg function in Alzabo::SQLMaker::PostgreSQL. RT Ticket #13843.
