Revision history for Perl extension DBIx::Simple.

Incompatible changes are marked with "!!". Incompatibility with and changes in "undocumented features" are not always specifically mentioned here.

1.35 Tue Jan 4 23:48 2010

     !! - RaiseError is now enabled by default, as announced three years ago.
          Set PERL_DBIX_SIMPLE_NO_RAISEERROR=1 to get the old behavior.

1.34 Mon Dec 12 16:28 2010

• Added missing documentation. (Reported by Krassimir Berov.)
• Fixed off-by-20 mistake in unit tests.

1.33 Sat Dec 4 0:30 2010

• New license: any(OSI).
• Documentation overhaul.
• New: $result->kv_list, $result->kv_array, $result->kv_flat, $result->kv_arrays. Handy if the unordered nature of hashes gets in the way.
• New: $result->object, $result->objects.
• Fixed bug #26924. Cache lookup missed statements at index 0. (Reported by Stanis Trendelenburg via RT.)
• Please note that very probably RaiseError will be enabled by default in the next version.

1.32 Mon Sep 17 14:58 2007

• Test updated to conform to fixed bug in Test::More. See http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qa/2007/09/msg9269.html

1.31 Sun Jul 15 0:29 2007

• New: $db->iquery. This method loads SQL::Interp on demand. The feature was requested by several people. Thanks go out to David Manura for writing SQL::Interpolate, and to Mark Stosberg for improving it and releasing that as SQL::Interp.

1.30 Sun Apr 8 2:29 2007

• Fixed bug #18629. Apparently Want does not consider a method call in rvalue context. The premature optimization that used Want has simply been removed. (Reported by Tomi via RT.)
• Fixed bug #22829. With connect($dbh) or new($dbh), DBIx::Simple no longer disconnects implicitly. (Reported by BORISZ via RT.)

1.29 Web Apr 4 2:22 2007

• Fixed documentation typo.

1.28 Wed Apr 4 2:16 2007

• New: $db->result_class. This allows using a custom subclass.
• $result->flat now returns an array reference in scalar context.
• Optimized: map (up to 15% faster).
• The "map" method now really requires exactly two columns.
• Minor documentation improvements.

1.27 Sun Mar 18 21:14 2007

     !! - Bugfix: (??) was replaced when quoted
     !! - Bugfix: \' escaping was assumed, but actually only MySQL uses that
        - New: support \' escaping only for DBD::mysql
        - New: test suite!
        - Removed dependency on Data::Swap
     !! - Removed compatibility package DBIx::Simple::SQE

1.26 Tue Nov 30 14:25 2004

• Removed documentation of emulate_subqueries.
• Minor documentation fixes.

1.25 Mon Jun 21 9:39 2004

• New: $result->text.
• This new method can use Anno Siegel's Text::Table (loaded on demand).

1.24 Sun Jun 20 21:32 2004

• New: $result->xto.
• New: $result->html.
• These new methods use Jeffrey Hayes Anderson's DBIx::XHTML_Table (loaded on demand).
• New: $result->text.
• Documentation =~ s/ESQ/SQE/g. (Reported by Larry Kos)

1.23 Thu Jun 10 0:00 2004

• New: DBIx::Simple::SQE.
• New: $db->abstract.
• New: $db->select.
• New: $db->insert.
• New: $db->update.
• New: $db->delete.
• These new methods use Nathan Wiger's SQL::Abstract (loaded on demand) and are based on a suggestion by simonm (perlmonks.org).
• Yes, I lied. I said that this module would never get SQL abstraction, but this was too easy to add and doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't use it.
• New: $db->begin, an alias for $db->begin_work. !! - Removed: $db->emulate_subqueries, $db->esq. (But see

  DBIx::Simple::SQE.) !! - Removed: $db->omniholder. (Now a constant: always "(??)".)

1.22 Thu May 6 17:30 2004

• Changed the declaration of a variable so that it doesn't blow up under 5.8.4's better strict. This should also fix a still undiscovered bug in the deprecated subquery emulation. (Reported and patched by Jos Boumans <irc>)

1.21 Thu Apr 29 14:40 2004

• Removed two nonsense entries from the changelog. $db->array and $db->hash do NOT reuse.

1.20 Tue Apr 27 11:15 2004

• Almost a complete rewrite :)
• $db->emulate_subqueries is now deprecated. Use a better database engine instead.
• $db->omniholder is now deprecated. The omniholder will be constant.
• $db->{success} is now deprecated. Use the return value of $db->query instead.
• $db->{reason} is now deprecated. Use $db->error instead. !! - $db->{dbi} has been renamed. Use $db->dbh instead (not $db->{dbh}).
• DBIx::Simple->error can now be used as a class method.
• New: $db->last_insert_id.
• New: $db->keep_statements and statement caching.
• New: $db->dbh. !! - New: $db->lc_columns, enabled by default. Affects $result->columns,

  $result->hash, $result->hashes, and $result->map_hashes.

• New: $result->columns.
• New: $result->bind, $result->fetch, $result->into.
• New: $result->func. (Suggested by Sean McMurray <smcmurray@cpan.org>)
• New: $result->attr. (Suggested by Sean McMurray <smcmurray@cpan.org>)
• $result->array now returns a copy instead of the same arrayref over and over. If you need maximum efficiency, use $result->fetch instead.
• Removed dependency on Attribute::Property to fix bugs with $db->emulate_subqueries and $db->omniholder in Perl 5.8.x. !! - As a result, archaic property assignment style no longer works.

  Instead of "$foo->bar($new_value)", use "$foo->bar = $new_value".

• Improved error reporting.
• As a result, DBIx::Simple now depends on Data::Swap.
• Moved examples to a separate document: DBIx::Simple::Examples.
• More conditions in DESTROY methods, to handle random destruction order during global destruction better.
• Rebuilt distribution with h2xs to get lib/ and t/.

1.11 Tue Mar 26 19:05 2003

• Documentation updates. !! - list() now returns the last element in scalar context (was: first).
• hashes() and arrays() now return array references in scalar context.
• Migrated two properties to Attribute::Properties. (new dependency)
• $VERSION++.

0.10 Thu Jan 9 10:03 2003

• Documentation rewrite!
• New: $db->error(). In an upcoming release, $db->{reason} will be removed.
• New: $db->func().
• Removed some unused variables.
• prepare() and execute() are now wrapped in eval { } to rewrite filename and line number if you use RaiseError
• $result->map_hashes(), $result->map_arrays() and $result->map() now return a list in list context. In scalar context, they still return a hash reference
• Dummy objects in boolean context now evaluate to false, so you can write "$db->query(...) or die $db->error;" but still be able to write "$db->query(...)->something()".
• Dummy object's methods now return an empty list in list context instead of undef.
• PrintError now defaults to 0

0.09 Sun Dec 8 5:59 2002

• $dbh->disconnect() only if the object's still there. This works around perl bug #18951. Something is killing objects during (or just before) global destruction. This bug was first found by Gerard Oskamp <gerard-perl@tuxje.nl>.

0.08 Mon Dec 2 21:16 2002

• Added $result->finish() method
• The documentation was wrong: "undef $result" did nothing useful, as DBIx::Simple kept a copy internally, for garbage cleaning purposes. An in-between class DBIx::Simple::Statement was added to work around this.
• $db->disconnect() now destroys active statements
• When finish() or disconnect() is used, attempts to use the database connection or statement handle now result in a verbose error message.

0.07 Mon Sep 30 7:48 2002

• Removed TraceLevel thing that caused DBI to output debugging info
• Very minor documentation update (removed 2 characters)

0.06 Fri Sep 20 10:55 2002

• Oops: forgot to update the README file; nothing serious

0.05 Thu Sep 19 14:32 2002

• Added $db->begin_work
• No longer expanding the (??) omniholder inside quoted SQL
• Subquery emulation! Have subqueries in MySQL! YAY! (Not enabled by default. Use $db->esq(1) to enable)
• This module now requires Perl >= 5.6

0.04 Tue Sep 17 15:46 2002

• Documentation updates only

0.03 Thu Jun 13 09:50 2002

• New: "(??)" and $db->omniholder() (like EZDBI's ??L placeholder)
• Documentation updates
• Code updates (now uses $_[0] directly for speed in many methods)
• $result->list() in scalar context returns first value only

0.02 Sat Mar 30 14:00 2002

• New: $db->commit() and rollback(). Suggested by tradez (perlmonks.org)
• New: $result->map_hashes(), map_arrays(), map(). Suggested by mattr (perlmonks.org)
• New: $result->flat(), a plural form of list()

0.01 Thu Mar 28 18:04 2002

• Initial CPAN release
