Changes for version 0.54

  • 97-05-16: Another major rework on Informix.Licence to make the requirements clearer to people with minimal exposure to Informix, after Honza Pazdziora (adelton@fi.muni.cz) had some problems with it. Add notes from Anibal Jodorcovsky (anibal@nortel.ca) about compilation on Motorola M88K SVR4 machines in README.M88K.SVR4. Version 0.54 released. 97-05-15: ChopBlanks code added and tested. VARCHAR was bad! Statement level ChopBlanks attribute not tested (probably not operational; attribute probably remains as it was when the statement was prepared). 97-05-13: Finish adding driver fetch function, and consequential changes. SQLSTATE now available via DBI::state! 97-05-05: Revise ixblob.ec to use ixblob.h and transfer to general library. Eliminate BLOB_DUMMY_VALUE and BLOB_NULL_VALUE (can't think what they were to be used for!). Consequential changes. 97-04-24: Add fix in Makefile.PL for DEC OSF/1 and ESQL/C 7.22 from Andrew Hunt (andy@toolshed.com). Reverse order of updates in ChangeLog. DEC OSF/1 changes also reported later by Debbie Ingram (djingram@mindspring.com). 97-04-08: Add attribute $sth->{ix_Fetchable} to determine whether the statement needs data fetching or not. Add this to sqlcmd.sh, which enables basic simulation of the full SQLCMD program. Still need better Getopt module which allows for multiple occurrences of a single option on the command line (eg: multiple -e or -f options). Also need better handling of filenames versus commands in the rest of the arguments. Note that the build process does not (yet) do anything with the source code of sqlcmd.sh. 97-04-01: Add '-Ae' for HP-UX unless $Config{ccflags} includes -Aa or -Ae, per information from Oyvind Gjerstad (ogj@tglobe1.tollpost.no). Include $Config{ccflags} in the command line when building the ESQL/C test program. 97-03-28: Correct the handling of $dbase2 in multiple connections tests when DBD_INFORMIX_DATABASE2 is not set. Fix required after John C Hossfeld (john@netpub.com) had problems. Also report which database is being connected to! Problem (and solution) also subsequently reported by James F Miner (jfm@winternet.com). 97-03-26: Add ODBC type handling. 97-03-20: Update Makefile.PL to handle relocated DBIXS.h header, again. 97-03-18: Change the handling of deprecated attributes per Informix.PM.
