2009-06-18 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.012)

Patch to bind_type_guessing from Craigslist, Thanks to Chris! Happiness is no quoted numbers. Fixed ChopBlanks to work with bind_type_guessing
Patch for win32 strawberry build Thanks to Curtis Jewell! Windows needs love

'perldoc DBD::mysql' to see how to use this new flag
Added bind-type-guessing options to Makefile.PL so the entire test suite can be run with bind_type_guessing set.

2009-04-13 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.011) * Renamed unsafe_bind_type_guessing, fixed some of the logic. This can be used to deal with bug 43822
(https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43822) * Patch from Daniel Frett (daniel Dot frett At ccci Dot org) to fix issue of binding sever side integer parameters (server-side prepare statements) resulting in corrupt data, bug 42723 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42723) * Updated documentation, cruft cleanup (as always)

2008-10-24 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.010) * Fix to dbd_bind_ph() for uninitialized value 'buffer_length' thanks for bug report and patch from Askniel.com (thanks!)

2008-10-21 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.009) * Fix to re-enable TAKE_IMP_DATA_VERSION. Still have to ensure DBI version 1.607 or higher * Fix to escaped single quotes throwing off bind param detection. Patch from Zhurs (zhurs@yandex.ru) Spasibo!

2008-8-15 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.008) * Multi statement patch, thanks to Chris Heath! * Disabled TAKE_IMP_DATA_VERSION because segfault with DBI < 1.607 * #29528: bind_param(..., SQL_FLOAT) ignores exponents - fixed, Thanks to Tokuhiro Matsuno!

Makefile.PL changes to use current user in 'make test' if not defined

2007-12-26 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.006)

Cleanups on OS X compile
Fixes to syntax errors on AIX
Removed test code that was leaving trace files around

2007-3-22 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.005)

Fixed mysql_warning issue < 4.1 (reminers, patches, help from ROAM, (issue 25713)
makerealclean patch from ROAM (issue #25714)
sqlstate cleanup patch from ROAM
Replaced all references to dbis to use imp_xxh per DBI best practices
Fix to dbd_st_destroy - added back previously removed 'free everything' code which had been moved to dbd_st_finish, causing a crash upon freeing of bind values after all rows resulting from one execution of a query have been fetched. This meant that next attempt to execute the prepared statement would segfault. This work thanks to Rainer Weikusat!
Removed all 'FindNewTable' calls in all tests. Just use 't1' for all tests to simplify things. Plus, this is how MySQL internall tests.
Better 'skip test' logic in some tests that were still running when they shouldn't have been.

2007-3-22 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com> (4.004) * Work around a bug in old 3.23 servers by specifying NOT NULL for fields used as a primary key in tests. (Bug #20325, reported by Julian Ladisch) * Add support for mysql_warning_count statement handle attribute. (Bug #25457, patch from Philip Stoev)
* Add support for mysql_multi_statements connection option. (RT #12322, based on patch from Doug Morris)
* Had to bump to 4.003 do to print statement in mysql.pm that made it into the dist. Even though you can delete a file on CPAN, you cannot re-upload it if it's the same name. Mea Culpa. * UTF8-Flag not set with flag mysql_enable_utf8 and column collation utf8_bin patch, Joost Diepenmaat, (RT #24738)
* Fixed do_error definition (Scott Hildreth, Tim Bunce) * Conversion of test suite to Test::More

2007-3-5 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com> (4.003) * Fix inclusion of non-primary keys in primary_key_info. (Bug #26786, reported and patch by Dave Rolsky)

2007-3-1 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com> (4.002) * Fix re-exec of Makefile.PL when forcing $ENV{LANG} to 'C'. (RT #25233, reported by Slaven Rezic)
* Rewrote table_info method to support all arguments (previously it would only ever return all of the tables in the current database, no matter what was specified)
* Fixed $DBD::mysql::VERSION to be a string instead of a float, which caused problems for certain locales
* Fixed bug #23974. $dbh->column_info now returns handle with no rows upon table not existing. Much thanks to Tim Bunce for help fixing the problem in mysql.pm vs. dbdimp.c
* Removed #ifdefs for do error (sqlstate being passed as last arg depending on version)
* Fixed insertid test to work with auto_increment_increment replication setup. * Patch from Tim Bunce fixing do() not set $dbh->{Statement} attribute, which prevented DBD::Profile from giving correct results for calls to do() and causing ShowErrorStatement to possibly report the wrong statement in the error message
* Patch from Tim Bunce clearing out the sth attribute cache when switching between result, sets which prevented the adjustedment of NUM_OF_FIELDS * Cleanup of several unused variables
* Added support for wildcards in last argument of column_info(). * Add mysql_is_auto_increment to results of column_info(). (Bug #26603, original patch from Dave Rolsky)
* Return the correct table type for both tables and views from the table_info() method. (Bug #26603, original patch from Dave Rolsky) * Add implementation of foreign_key_info() (Bug #26604, original patch from Dave Rolsky, and final implementation based on Connector/J code)

2007-1-8 Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com> Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (4.001) * Fix handling of unsigned integer values in result sets when using server-side prepared statements (they were not retrieved at all). * Fix handling of signed integer values when using server-side prepared statements (they were being forced to unsigned values). * Do not tell Perl that the contents of binary fields are UTF-8. [rt.cpan.org #22123], original patch by Joost Diepenmaat * Fix double-free of bound parameters when freeing statements. (Bug #20559) * Make sure to handle "magical" values in a couple of places. (Bug #20104) * Update the hints about what to do when zlib is found missing while linking. (Bug #13803, reported by Philip Stoev) * Explicitly initialize the MySQL client library to avoid possible race conditions in a multithreaded application. (Bug #21792) * Fix warning when no connection attributes are passed to the connect method (Bug #17323, reported by Phil Randal) * Removed redundant warnings when commit or rollback is called while AutoCommit is enabled. [rt.cpan.org #15802], reported by Tyler MacDonald * Report correct type for decimal columns from MySQL 5.0 and later [rt.cpan.org #18294], reported by Ray Zimmerman * Fix t/40bindparam.t to work when ANSI_QUOTES SQL_MODE is set. [rt.cpan.org #21521], reported by David Wheeler * Return a statement handle with an error when column_info is called on a table that does not exist. (Bug #23974, patch by Philip Stoev) * Fix handling of table names with characters that did not match /\w/ in the column_info method. (Bug #22005, reported by Philip Stoev) * Fix handling of negative integers bound to a column marked as SQL_INTEGER. [rt.cpan.org #18976], patch from Mike Schilli. * Add support for the primary_key_info method. [rt.cpan.org #8541] * Fixed Bundle::DBD::mysql to only include modules required for using DBD::mysql, not the old Mysql package. [rt.cpan.org #24096] * Updated Makefile.PL to not include files in .svn directories * Fixed various compile warnings in mysql.xs (ISO C) * Cleaned up stored procedure examples, made strict * Fixed bug that blew away subsequent result sets if you fetched all rows, only in result sets that had more than one row * Added test for bug #14979 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14979, which still fails
* Tested with ALL mysql versions, fixed 40types, 40bind_param tests to work with 4.0, 4.1 * Fixed dbdimp.c to not test for MYSQL_DATA_TRUNCATED unless >= mysql 5.0

2006-12-22 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net>, Alexey Stroganov (4.00) * Added Alexey Stroganov's patch which fixes varying number of columns in multiple result sets. Added new test cases to 80procs.t based of his test script (bug #21028) (Thanks Alexey!). Also fixed 80procs.t to allow 'CALL' to be prepared
* Added Philip Stoev's patch for DATA_TYPE date and time columns (bug #23988) (Thanks Philip!)
* Reworked (for working with 4.0, which doesn't support sqlstate) Philip Stoev's patch for sqlstate, bug #23935 (Thanks Philip!) * New Versioning! 4.00 now. This dev tree will now become trunk * Cleaned up much code that failed between versions (!!!) * Turned off prepared statements by default * Tested this with 5.1, 5.0, 4.1, 4.0. Works with ALL these versions!

2006-10-10 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net>, Alexey Stroganov (3.0009_1) * Added fbind and bind alloc to dbd_st_describe. This was causing a crash when using with mod_perl

2006-10-10 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net> (3.0008_1) * Added patch for SSL Verify Certificate (Thanks Eric Chen!) * Added multiple fixes to dbd_st_prepare which fixed variable overwrite and unset increment counter. Also improved loop which checks statements for presence of "LIMIT" by using a pointer as opposed to char array increment variable. These errors were showing up in OpenBSD and other Unixen (which I think all BSD-based) (Thanks to Kyle George!) * Added fix to Makefile.PL to obtain correct build flags on VMS (Thanks to Eric Milkie!)
* Fixed casting of num_params to unsigned int in calls to NewZ in mysql.xs

2006-10-07 Patrick Galbraith <patg@patg.net>, Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com> (3.0007_2)

Added UTF8 patch from Dominic Mitchell (Thanks!)

Fix typo in example (missing quote). (RT #15086)
Mention in POD that 'localhost' always means to connect via UNIX socket, and 127.0.0.1 must be used for TCP/IP to localhost (RT #14942, reported by Alessandro Ranellucci)
Fix typos in Makefile.PL (RT#16178, reported by Gavin Shelley)

2006-09-08 Jim Winstead <jimw@mysql.com>, Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0007_1) (3.0006/3.0006_1 is the same as 3.0005/3.0005_1)

Make sure to call dbd_st_finish when all rows from a statement handle have been fetched. (Bug #20153, Bug #21607, RT #20464, RT #21241)
Patch from Steve Hay to fix bind_param to deal properly with insertion of a NULL into an INT or DOUBLE column using server-side prepare. Converted Steve's dbi.pl script to expose this problem to 40bindparam2 test.
Fix to mysql_st_internal_execute to keep from passing undefined dbh handle member (bind_type_guessing) to parse_param causing crash on OpenBSD. Reported on rt.cpan.org (#20868) by Kyle Georg, as well as info from Sam Smith and Federico Giannici
Cleaned up tests to make sure test table is dropped at end of test.

2006-06-10 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0005)

Fix dbd_st_finish in 3.0004 didn't clean up bind buffers resulting in a memory leak. See eg/prepare_memory_usage.pl to see how this manifests itself. Thanks to Jason Snell for giving me a good script to reproduce this!
Fix to parse_params, mysql.xs dbh->do, and bind_param to deal with passing substr to "do" for placeholder value. Thanks Martin Waite for the patch to parse_params (extended to mysql.xs "do" and bind_param for server-side prepared statements.

2006-05-17 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0004_1)

Fix dbd_st_finish which closed the handle prematurely (Martin Evans)
Compile issues (Martin Evans)
Small change to get utf8 data returned. One still has to: $dbh->do("set character set utf8"); $dbh->do("set names utf8");
to get utf8 back and even then you only get it back if the column is defined as utf8 in mysql.
Fix to dbd_bind_ph to deal with numbers (ints, floats) correctly (Alexey Stroganov)
Test changes - bind_param 41 and 42
Turned off 70takeimp test

2006-04-29 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com) (3.0003_1)

Added code to mysql_st_internal_execute that determines whether the SV *h is a sth or dbh, and then imports imp_dbh appropriately

2005-09-26 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0002_2)

Fixed bug in dbd_st_execute where imp_sth was being imported unecessarily, when only imp_dbh is needed. This caused a core dump in some cases. Thanks to Andy Maas at Proofpoint for his execellent detective work!
Small changes to Makefile.PL to make sure --ps-protocol works as advertised.
Updated install.html with current info about prepared statements and FC RPM/YUM packages.

2005-08-04 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0002_1)

Prepared statement support is default now. To turn it off a parameter 'mysql_emulated_prepare' must be turned ON
Better error handling in mysql_internal_execute_ps (renamed from mysql_internal_execute41). Also free the result if error - that could have been a memory bug
Added a simply 'do' to t/35prepare.test to see if you can turn off prepared statements in the 'do' call.
Cleaned up a LOT of cruft. Added more 'caveat' blurbage to old Mysql.pm lib, which will not work with prepared statements

2005-07-06 Parick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0001_3)

Fix to ensure MYSQL_BIND is only defined when mysql client version is >= 4.1.3. Thanks to Tom Parkison

2005-07-06 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0001_2)

2005-07-04 Patrick Galbraith <patg@mysql.com> (3.0001_1)

Changed uint argument in safe_sv_fetch to int due to uint not being available on windows unless you include my_globals.h in dbdimp.h, which also breaks on unixen!

- Removed mysql.mtest
- Fixed sth->rows to return my_ulongloong and also handle error from client API
- Fix to make autocommit work was already part of this version
- Auto-reconnect bug fixed in 2.9006 included
Added simple test to 35limit test to check if using malicious code in LIMIT ?, ? placeholders works, which it doesn't.
Fix that sets mysql_server_prepare to 0 if SQL statement is 'SHOW ...' which is not supported by prepared statement API currently

2004-10-28 Rudolf Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9015_1)

Merged Makefile.PL from 2.9005_3

2004-10-20 Patrick Galbraith patg@mysql.com (Dev-2_9 - 2.9005)

merged changes from 2.9005_1
fix to blob in dbd_st_fetch (Alexey Stroganov ranger@mysql.com) In case of BLOB/TEXT fields we allocate only 8192 bytes in dbd_describe() for data. Here we know real size of field so we should increase buffer size and refetch column value

2004-07-25 Patrick Galbraith patg@mysql.com (2.9004)

2003-10-26 Rudy Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9003)

Applied patch from Aaron and Chuck that added basic testing of the table_info/column_info functions [Aaron Ross <aross@plusthree.com>]
Applied patch removing Jochen Wiedmann's contanct information and also removing the restriction on CD ROM distribution. [Jochen Wiedmen <joe@ispsoft.de>]
The check for the innodb table type was broken so the transaction tests were skipped even though the database supported transactions.
:sql_types were not being inported in column info, so SQL_VARCAR was thowing an error. Also, the :sql_types were not being pulled into DBD::mysq::db package
Patch for dbdadmin.t so that it respects username and password [Alexey Stroganov <ranger@mysql.com>]
Fix for memory leak in bind_param() introduced in 2.9002 (2.9002 changed bind_param so that changing the value of a scalar after binding would not affect what was passed to execute eg:
$sth->bind_param(1,$foo); $foo = 'bar' $sth->execute() -- $foo would contain 'bar') [reported by <shildreth@emsphone.com>]
don't define dbd_discon_all so that mysql uses DBI's This fixes a bug whereby DBD::mysql was dropping perl's destruct level.
patch to myld so that it uses strict and fixes scoping problem with $contents [Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>]
Modified Makefile.PL so that it gives a usage message if any unknown options are passed in.
patch to INSTALL.pod on how to link DBD::mysql against a static libmysqlclient [Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>]

2003-06-22 Rudy Lippan <rlippan@remotelinux.com> (2.9002)

moved pod into mysql.pm from mysql.pod
Changed the default behaviour of mysql_found_rows, so now 'UPDATE table set field=?' will return the number of rows matched and not the number of rows physically changed. You can get the old behaviour back by adding "mysql_found_rows=0" to the dsn passed to connect.
Updated type_info_all() to be more inline with what DBD::ODBC returns.
Added attribute 'mysql_auto_reconnect' that allows the auto reconnect behaviour to be toggled. :

          ** NOTE** The behaviour of auto reconnect has changed.  If 
          either the MOD_PERL or the GATEWAY_INTERFACE environment variable is
          set, auto_reconnect will default to ON; otherwise auto_reconnect
          will default to off.  Earlier versions of this driver would always
          try to reconnect to the database on error; however, this is dangerous
          because table locks could be lost without the application knowing.

        * Fixed a segfault with failed reconnects that were trapped in an
          eval. The next tine DBD::mysql tried to reconnect, the process
          would segfault.
        * Added statistics attribute, 'mysql_dbd_stats' which returns
          a hash ref that contains 2 keys 'auto_reconnects_ok' and
          'auto_reconnects_failed'.
        * Fixed bug where strings that were used in numeric
          context were not getting quoted on execute(). Now all
          parameters are bound as varchar by default.

          **NOTE** this is a change in behaviour that MAY cause problems
          with some SQL statements. If quoted integers, for example,  
          cause any problems, use bind_param(<column_id>, undef, SQL_INTEGER)
          to force a column to be bound as an integer.

        * Added get_info() method. See 'perldoc DBI' for more info
        * Added column_info(). See 'perldoc DBI' for more info [Tim Bunce]

DBD::mysql for DBI - Written by Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>

97.09.27 V1.1812

          Added t/50commit.t to test suite.
          Included <embed.h> in myMsql.h for redefining my_setenv().
          Made AutoCommit, Commit and Rollback DBI conformant.
          Fixed reconnect problems with Mysql: mysql_port was 0 on some
          systems.
          Added support of mysql_real_connect to myMsql.c.
          Fixed Msql::errno returning a char*.
          Added lib/Bundle::Mysql.pm.
          Fixed 'use Mysql' to 'require Mysql' in t/mysql2.t.

97.09.12 V1.1810

          Fixed bug in dbd_st_FETCH_internal: newRV_noinc was used for
          the return value. This resulted in invalid cache values,
          reported by Michael Bletzinger
          <Michael.Bletzinger@ssa.crane.navy.mil>

97.09.12 V1.1809

          Adapted changes from DBD-Oracle 0.46 to 0.47; in particular
          the files Driver.xst and dbd_xsh.h from the DBI distribution
          are used now. (LongReadLen, LongTruncOk, ... are still
          meaningless, but they are not that important for m(y)sql:
          The complete results are in RAM anyways ...)
          Fixed man page of DBD::M(y)SQL: "@names = $sth->{'NAME'}".
          Added parameter completion for "set" command to dbimon.

97.09.08 V1.1808

          Fixed bug in dbimon, a closing brace was missing causing a
          syntax error.
          Fixed problems in the Term::ReadLine::GNU support, reported
          by Nem W. Schlecht (nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu).
          Modified dbimon for internally using the Data::ShowTable
          module. My thanks to Tim Bunce for the hint.
          Compatibility fixes for SunOS and Solaris, supplied by
          Neil Bowers (neilb@cre.canon.co.uk).

97.09.03 V1.1806

          Fixed bug in Mysql.xs: $sth->numfields dumped core because no
          check for a result was done.
          Fixed bug in lib/Mysql/Statement.pm: Mysql::Statement.as_string
          did not check for $sth->numfields != 0.
          Added patch from Nem W. Schlecht (nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu)
          for Term::ReadLine::GNU support to pmysql and dbimon.

97.09.03 V1.1805

          Fixed bug in DBD::mysql: Executing a non-select statement
          always returned -1 (unknown number of rows) although the
          correct number was returned by $sth->rows().
          Fixed bug in DBD::mysql: strlen was executed on a NULL
          value when mysql_fetch_rows returned a NULL field.
          Added all ListField attributes to statement handles.
          Added support for "LISTFIELDS <table>" to $sth->execute.
          Modified $sth->func("ListSelectedFields") and
          $dbh->func("<table>", "ListFields") to use the new
          possibilities; in fact these are only stubs now.
          Added dbimon.
          Added some internal attributes for dbimon to DBD::mysql:
          formatdefault_size, format_max_size, format_type_name
          and format_right_justification.

97.08.30 V1.1804

          Added "fancy", "quote", "separator" and "escape" commands to
          pm(y)sql.PL, patch supplied by Nem W Schlecht
          (nem@abattoir.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu).
          Modified pm(y)sql.PL and pmsql.PL so that it automatically
          adapts pm(y)sql for use with Msql and Mysql, respectively.
          Makefile.PL and M(y)sqlPerl/Makefile.PL now automatically
          adapt lib/M(y)sql.pm, lib/M(y)sql/Statement.pm and
          lib/DBD/mSQL.pm or lib/DBD/mysql.pm for use in Msql-modules
          or Mysql-modules; just copy these files, rename them and
          run "perl Makefile.PL".

97.08.29 V1.1803

          Added mysql_errno()
          Modified perl modules for use of $driver and isa($driver).
          Modified Msql.xs and Mysql.xs for use of Package and
          StPackage.
          Modified test for fetch of non-result sth in akmisc.t: Msql
          returns number of rows and not an sth.

97.08.27 Removed use of TEXT_TYPE from pmysql and Mysql/Statement.pm.

97.08.16 Modified mysql.xs, dbdimp.h and dbdimp.c for use in DBD::mSQL.

          Now using Andreas König´s Makefile.PL from the DBD::mSQL
          distribution.
          Added check for disabled '-lgcc' on Linux; this leads to a
          missing __moddi3 symbol in libmysqlclient.a, when running
          mysql.so.

          Added mysqlperl support.

97.08.02 Almost completely rewritten, with the exception of private

          functions like ListTables.
          Implemented bindparam.
          Test suite rewritten for portability.
          Many sources moved from mysql.pm and mysql.xs to dbdimp.h;
          mysql.pm and mysql.xs are now close to Oracle.xs and Oracle.pm.

97.07.28 Added $dbh->quote method.

          Modified internal use of "char statement" to "SV statement".
          Modified use of mysql_query to mysql_real_query. (The above
          three things should fix blob problems hopefully.)
          Bumped revision number to 2.00 because of API changes:
          The connect method works now as described in the DBI man
          page, compatibility to DBD::msql seems deprecated.
          Heavy internal modifications in order to use DBIS->get_fbav();
          this gives compatibility to DBI 0.88.
          Modified test suite to use Test::Harness.
          Added blob tests.

DBD::mysql for DBI - Written by Alligator Descartes <descarte@mcqueen.com>

96.06.22 Get new patched version 1.65 from gnat@frii.com

Added the memory bug patch to this.

96.06.18 Added pod documentation to mysql.pm and the possibility

to retreive insert_id. This was done by Nathan Torkington.

          Fixed memory bug that sql results never was freed.
          Now a result is freed when one calls the 'finish' action.
          The patch was done by gareth@netcom.co.uk & Monty

96.05.27 Changed Makefile.PL after suggestions from Raymond Wiker

96.04.25 Changed the README and fixed a typo in mysql.xs

Changed version to DBD-mysql-1.63.1 to have a reference to mSQL-0.63

96.04.19 Updated with differences from DBD:mSQL-0.63

96.11.03 Changed from DBD:mysql-0.60pl10 to DBD:mysql-1.0 by Michael Widenius

Original ChangeLog:

18/07/95: Started.

Version 0.0.0 ( Totally pre-alpha! )

19/07/95:22:00 Code now basically seems to work. I've got connection to

a database, and clean disconnection.

         23:45  I'm now working on the statement cycle stuff, which I've
                mapped out. It's just a case of coding, which shouldn't
                take too long, hopefully.

                Posted notice of approaching doom to perldb-interest.

20/07/95:01:25 Fetching appears to work OK now. I need to read the API on

                msqlFieldSeek, since I can't work out why fetch is returning
                the same row over and over!

21/07/95:09:22 Added a field into imp_sth (currow) which keeps track of the

                current row that's been fetched from the result struct. If I
                can fix the return codes coming from fetchrow, it'll work!

21/07/95:10:30 Pondered bind variables in cursors. Since there isn't a bind

                function in the API, I may have to frig the way that prepare/
                execute works, ie, move the call to msqlQuery after it's
                done some parsing for bind values......Hm.

21/07/95:10:35 Twiddled some bits in the fetchrow cycle.

23/07/95:15:50 Fetch is fetching a row, but it's not returning it to the

                calling cycle, so I need to fart about with the sv stuff, which
                is not amusing me greatly!

26/07/95:23:42 Decided in agreement with Andreas that the first release is

to be 0.61!

27/07/95:14:14 Finally! It fucking works! After splendid quantities of

                hacking around with the prepare/execute/fetchrow/finish cycle
                it's actually returning rows correctly!

                NOTE: The SV handling within dbd_describe is shot to buggery,
                      but I've kludged it in mSQL.xs::fetchrow to do a
                      sv_2mortal instead of a sv_mortalcopy.

27/07/95:14:22 Tidied up mSQL.xs::finish to do an msqlFreeResult. Annoyingly

                enough, there's no return code to msqlFR, so I can't test 
                whether or not it's worked! Bah!

27/07/95:15:15 Altered test to do several bits and bobs. I'm testing INSERT

                statements now. These only execute an msqlQuery, but the
                stuff needs to continue to pass through the execute and finish
                stages cleanly.......sigh

27/07/95:15:22 My dubious 'INSERT' check hack works, sort of. Pity it converts

the entire statement to lower case.....!

27/07/95:17:33 Twiddled some more stuff so it seems to do CREATE TABLE,

                INSERT statements too. Of course, there's no error checking
                yet, but it seems to be OK........Hm.

27/07/95:17:38 Mailed out a statement saying the 0.61 code would be up for

grabs as of Monday 31st July! Still waiting on Alpha reports.

27/07/95:12:11 Fixed the lower-case all the INSERT/CREATE &c. statement bug.

It now checks to see if you're in quotes.

28/07/95:xx:xx Got a report back from Andreas to say compilation barfs on

his Indy. Fixed a load of do_error bugs in dbdimp.c.

13/08/95:18:25 Finally got back to this after a rather long break. Fixed some

                Makefile.PL bugs that were kicking about. Finally fixed
                ( or appeared to fix ) the strlen signedness bug in dbdimp.c
                that may halt compilation on the Indy. 

                Emailed Karsten the debug info to see what's causing problems
                on the NeXTStep platform.

14/08/95:13:48 Got email back from Andreas. signedness broke mSQL.xs as well!

Fixed that and emailed him a quick patch.

14/08/95:14:45 Andreas now has a successful compile. The tests are crap, but

appear to ( sort of ) work.

29/08/95:23:18 Converted driver across to new DBI format. It now appears

                to compile, install and run fairly reasonably. There are
                some serious messes that need cleared up in it, but it's
                fundamentally OK, I hope. Announced for pl0 testing.

04/09/95:15:04 Started back on getting the 0.60pl0 out. Tidied up the parsing

                of statements for INSERT, CREATE &c statements. It just takes
                the first word of the statement now.

04/09/95:15:19 Looks OK. Tested against DBI 0.63 and looks reasonable.

Announced release of 0.60pl1 and put up for ftp.

20/09/95:15:20 Patched a load of stuff including NULLs, and local device

                handling ( SV ). Released pl4, which was bogus. Released
                pl5 which should fix those issues.

20/09/95:22:17 Fixed overhang of old DBI bug with DBIc_ENDING remaining in

                DESTROY in mSQL.xs. Spotted by Marti Rijken and fixed.
                ( Hopefully! )

18/10/95:15:13 Added in the missing API chunks for ListTables, ListDBs

and ListFields.

ListFields isnae working, but I'll fix that sometime soon....

05/11/95:11:32 Fixed $sth->readblob to return undef. Fixed Makefile.PL,

                dbdimp.h, mSQL.h, dbdimp.c for release of 0.60pl7. Also tested
                'make test' which now works!

23/11/95:19:22 Fixed ListFields from the pointers given to me by Sven V.

24/11/95:03:13 Fixed error handling in all the func methods

24/11/95:13:01 Added 'NumRows' method to statement handles to return the

number of rows returned ( or affected ) by a statement.o

30/12/95:18:10 Altered mSQL.pm to allow for hostname:port style connections

                to known remote port machines. Sets ENV var since the
                msqlConnect API call doesn't support port arguments.

30/12/95:18:15 Added 'length' key into the hash returned by ListFields, so

we can get the scale of the field.

24/03/96:22:34 Fixed bugs and upgraded versioning for perl5.002 to work

properly. Released as pl10

-> Lamentable lack of ChangeLog information here!

27/03/97: Tidied up things with regard to 0.61 release.

28/03/97: Patched NULL as undef bug
