This version has some deep changes, so testing is much appreciated. In
particular, both the do() and quote() methods have been rewritten.
In addition, the get_info() information has been greatly expanded.
Information I was not sure about is marked with a "## ??" in the Pg.pm
code - anyone familiar with the ODBC / ANSI standards, please take a look.
Here is the complete list of changes:
- Added $dbh->{pg_default_port} method [GSM]
- Overhaul get_info data, add many more values [GSM]
- Overhaul type_info data (fixes CPAN bug #13806) [GSM]
- Explicitly prevent any parsing of statements for placeholders
unless they begin with "SELECT", "INSERT", "UPDATE", or "DELETE"
Suggested by (and fixes) CPAN bug #13608 [GSM]
- Rewrite some of the quoting functions, reduce dependence
on libpq versions. [GSM]
- Rewrite and optimize the do() method. Should be much faster
when called without placeholders. Thanks to Tom Lane
for suggesting this. [GSM]
- Double check PQserverVersion return and use alternate
method if it returns 0 (CPAN bug #14302)
- Add support for specifying type in $dbh->quote(),
such as $dbh->quote($var, {pg_type => DBD::Pg::PG_BYTEA}).
Also support type => SQL_xx [GSM] (fixes CPAN bug #13942)
- Fix pg_notifies() bug (CPAN bug #14232) [door@lcpi.ru]
- Add pg_ping() method [GSM]
- Make sure ping returns true, even if in failed transaction state.
[thanks to Bill Moseley] [GSM]
- Fix COPY-related core dump [GSM]
- Fix strncpy bug in quote.c [Jun Kuriyama]
- Fix error in is_high_bit_set(). [Alexey Tourbin] (CPAN bug #13406)
