Changes for version 2005.02

  • 2005-07-29: Upload to PAUSE and CPAN. 2005-07-28: Logged bug B173776 against ESQL/C - SQL DESCRIPTORS mishandle zero-length non-null VARCHAR values. This prevents a solution to a problem report from Vàclav Ovsík <vaclav.ovsik@i.cz>. 2005-07-27: Fix INT8 handling bugs for 64-bit CSDK; fix and extend tests in t/t95int8.t. Rewrite t/t50update.t - does not create database. Add DBD_INFORMIX_NO_DBCREATE environment variable; set to a Perl true value (eg 'yes') if your test user cannot create databases. Add DBD_INFORMIX_NO_RESOURCE environment; set to a Perl true value if your test user does not have RESOURCE (or DBA) privileges on the test database. 2005-07-25: ClientSDK 2.90.FCx on AIX 5.2 using the AIX C compiler sets '-qlanglvl=ansi' but Perl does not. On similar platforms (possibly older versions of CSDK, possibly 32-bit CSDK, possibly older versions of AIX), you need to manually set DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLCC_REMOVE_OPTIONS_REGEX="-qlanglvl=ansi". Problem found by Darryl Priest <darryl.priest@dlapiper.com> and Durga Pullakandam <durga.pullakandam@mci.com> at the same time. Add warning to esqlcc. 2005-07-25: Various build problems with new versions of CSDK on new platforms, and some older ones. Improve the debugging in esqlcc, esqlld, and the ESQL/C test code in Makefile.PL.
