Changes since 0.73:
- adapted to postgresql-6.4:
the backend protocol has changed, which needs an adapted
ping method. A ping-test has been added to the test-script.
Also some type identifiers have changed.
- Pg.xs adapted to Driver.xst from DBI-1.0
- major rewrite of module documentation
- major rewrite of the test script
- use built-in DBI method for $dbh->do
- add macro dHTR in order to avoid compile errors
with threaded perl5.005
- renamed attribute AutoEscape to pg_auto_escape
- renamed attribute SIZE to pg_size
- new attribute pg_type
- added support for DBI->data_sources($driver)
- added support for $dbh->table_info
- blob_read documented and added to test.pl
- added support for attr parameter in bind_param()
- added /usr/lib/ to search path for libpq.
- added ChopBlanks, patch from
Victor Krasinsky <victor@rdovira.lviv.ua>
- non-printable characters in parameters will not be
converted to '.'. They are passed unchanged to the
database.
- introduce new database handle attribute AutoEscape, which
controls escaping of quotes and backslashes in parameters.
When set to on, all quotes except at the beginning and
at the end of a line will be escaped and all backslashes
except when used to indicate an octal presentation (\xxx)
will be escaped. Default of AutoEscape is on.
- bug-fix from Max Cohan <mcohan@adnc.net>:
check for \xxx presentation before escaping backslash
in parameters.
- bug-fix from Max Cohan <mcohan@adnc.net>:
using traces together with undef in place-holders dumped
core.
- bug-fix from Matthew Lenz <matthew@nocturnal.org>:
corrected include path in Makefile.PL .
- bug-fix from Rolf Grossmann <grossman@securitas.net>:
undefined parameters in an execute statement will be
translated from 'undef' to 'NULL'. Also every parameter
for bind_param() will be quoted by default (escape quote
and backslash). Appropriate tests have been added to test.pl.
- bug-fix from Jan Iven <j.iven@rz.uni-sb.de>:
fix problem with quoting Null in bind variables.
