Fix $sth->bind_param($p_num, $bind_value, $bind_type) &
$sth->bind_param_inout($p_num, \$bind_value, $max_len, $bind_type).
$bind_type was ignored.
Fixed $dbh->tables to work with MVS, VM and AS/400 databases.
Changed $dbh->tables to return tables for all schemas. The table
names returned are now qualified with the schema.
Add support for attributes in $dbh->tables and $dbh->table_info.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.75, March 29, 2001
Add new statement attributes.
Removed db2_async_enable and db2_auto_ipd connection attributes as

Fix ChopBlanks.
Fix a problem when fetched data is truncated due to LongReadLen.
Add support for spaces in DB2 install path name on Windows NT.
Fixed build problem with ActivePerl on Windows NT when ActivePerl
was installed without a compiler environment (i.e. libpth in
Config.pm does not include the compiler library paths).
DB2_HOME is no longer required if the build is performed in a
properly configured DB2 environment (i.e. the DB2 'bin' directory
is in the PATH environment variable).
Rename DB2 specific attributes to comply with DBI naming
convention (i.e. use lower case and prefix with db2_). Old
attributes still accepted for the time being.
Add new connection attributes.
Miscellaneous performance enhancements.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.73, May 12, 2000
Automatically set CAPI=TRUE in Makefile.PL when Perl Object
abtraction is enabled.
Fixed incorrect usage of '==' for Perl string comparison in DB2.pm.
Added support for $dbh->tables and $dbh->table_info.
Fixed build failure when using Perl 5.004_04: Undeclared

Fixed problem with InactiveDestroy for statement handles, DB2
statement handle was being freed even when $sth->{InactiveDestroy}
was turned on.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.72, April 14, 2000
Added support for bind_param_inout.
Added support for binary (including BLOB) columns. Added new
attribute type $attrib_binary for inserting raw data.
Added support for LOB input from file (bind attribute 'File=1').
Added new attribute types $attrib_blobfile, $attrib_clobfile and
$attrib_dbclobfile.
Added support for LongReadLen, LongTruncOk and ChopBlanks
attributes.
Fixed retrieval of binary columns so data is returned unconverted.
(i.e. binary data x'abcd' is not converted to 4 byte string "abcd"
but rather results in 2 bytes of data 0xabcd).
General performance improvements.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.71, January 12, 1999
Ported to Windows NT!
It is now mandatory for the user to set the DB2_HOME environment
variable to the installed location of DB2 UDB. It will no longer
default to /usr/lpp/db2_05_00. This was done to accommodate ports
to other platforms which have different default installation paths.
Calls to deprecated CLI functions replaced by newer ones
(i.e. SQLAllocStmt() replaced by SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT,...).
A couple of bugs in dbd_bind_ph() were fixed.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.70, September 25, 1998
Corrected values returned from execute().
Added support for CursorName, TYPE, PRECISION,
and SCALE statement attributes.
Minor cleanup.Changes in DBD::DB2 0.68, July 5, 1998
Found and fixed a couple of bugs relating to the handling of
remote dataChanges in DBD::DB2 0.67, May 11, 1998

Rewrote code to support multiple concurrent connections
Fixed a pair of bugs, dealing with nested error codes not
being properly returned.
Tested against DB2 version 5**** Added untested routines to SetConnectionOptions and to SetStmtOptions **** Experimental needs to be moved to private_* ****
Changes in DBD::DB2, Dec 10, 1997
Fixed a pair of errors which resulted in the infamous
"DBI Handle has uncleared implementors data" on finishing
statements prior to disconnect.Changes in DBD::DB2, Feb 7, 1997
Created a small pod for DBD::DB2. Hopefully, this
will lighten the email load.
Rolled in all the changes needed to make it compile cleanly
on Solaris
Output Parameters for stored procedures now work.Changes in DBD::DB2, Dec 12, 1996 1. This version fixes a problem with setting/unsetting AutoCommit on the database handle...I need a better test suite :-(
2. Fixed problem with connect/disconnect/connect cycleChanges in DBD::DB2, Oct 7, 1996
Added access to the SetStmtOption call, which in conjunction with DB2 v 2.1.1 NLV2 will allow asynchronous database access among other things. SEE the DB2 CLI manual for details.
NOTE: I don't have any sufficiently large database to tell if asynchronous access is working properly. Other options appear to be working.....so I'm assuming that asynchronous access is.
Changes in DBD::DB2, Aug 16, 1996
Fixed the following:
1. Prototype warnings from xsub.
2. Invalidated cursor messages when exiting after finishing the
cursors.Changes in DBD::DB2, June 21, 1996
Fixed the following:
1. Fixed a package naming problem with the Constants package.
Screwed up the package name change which caused the tests
to fail on a clean build system. Unfortunately, on my test
systems I was picking up an old copy....NOTE: **********************************************************
Any reference to DB2::Constants,
MUST now be DBD::DB2::Constants*****************************************************************
Changes in DBD::DB2, June 12, 1996
Fixed the following:
1. Not returning the SQLCODE associated with the error.
All error information is now available from perl - you
can get SQLCODE from err, sql message string from errstr,
and SQLSTATE from state.
2. Returning a perl failure on connect when a sql failure was
needed.
Perl will now see a !defined($var) on connection failure, so
that scripts my fail gracefully.Changes in DBD::DB2, April 25, 1996 No KNOWN problems -- it is however alpha software.
Changes in DBD::DB2, Nov. 17, 1995
NOTE: ***********************************************************
This will be the last release of DB2perl this year. I will
be migrating the functionality to the new foundation just
announced by Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk. Only major bug fixes will
be done.
NOTE: ***********************************************************
Fetching of BLOBs (not CLOBs, or DLOBs) is working.
Fixed some problems with inserting explicit NULLs into tables and
retrieving rows containing explict NULLs reported by
