ODBC.PM
Date | Changes |
---|---|
96.03.27 | Initial Release (rothd) |
96.04.08 | Changed Data() to accept an array of field names, returning an array or scalar (joc) |
Various bug fixes (joc) | |
96.04.10 | Fixed the RowCount() to default to the current connection (droth) |
96.04.15 | Changed version numbers to a date format (rothd) |
96.05.07 | Fixed Data(): If returning an array, the array consisted of the requested fieldnames + the values. Now only returns the values. Thanks to Dan Westerlund <westerlund@dkraft.se>! (rothd) |
96.07.22 | Added MoreResults(): Checks to see if there are any more records that have not been retrieved. (dunfordshore) |
96.07.22 | Changed Error(): Errors are tracked differently now. Any error will record the error number ($ErrNum) and error text ($ErrText) in the object's name space and can be retrieved by calling $Database->Error(). Error() will also return the ODBC connection number that caused the error. If the context of the call is not an array then a string with this information will be returned. The Win32::ODBC name space will always have the last error info made, even if it is an error returned by the new method. You can call Win32::ODBC::Error() to get that. (rothd) |
ODBC.PLL
Date | Changes |
---|---|
96.04.10 | Fixed a "memory bug": we were using SQL_CLOSE when closing an ODBC statement. This kept the cursor alive in memory so it can be cached in the event the same SQL statement is issued. We are now using SQL_DROP. This may lessen speed if the same SQL statements are issued again and again per connection. (rothd) |
Cleaned up some code. (rothd) | |
96.04.12 | Added GetStmtCloseType() and SetStmtCloseType() functions. (rothd) |
Added some constants. (rothd) | |
96.04.13 | ** We now are trying to include a version for builds up to and including 105 and another for builds 106 and greater (for now). |
96.04.15 | Fix Bug in ODBCFetchRow(): when retrieving a field with a NULL value the value from the previous field was reported. (jmk) |
Changed version numbers to a date format. | |
96.04.22 | Fix the SDWORD wrap-around bug in ODBCFetchRow(): when a column of size 2147483647 adding 1 (for a NULL byte in szBuf) yields -2147483648 (not easy to "net UCHAR (-2147483648)"!!) (jmk) |
96.04.22 | Inspired by Jutta, I have increased the max limit for SetMaxBufSize() to 2,147,483,647 bytes. (rothd) |
96.05.03 | Set the lowest allocated char array to be 20 bytes in ODBCFetchRow(). Evidentally sometimes the ODBC manager will report too few chars that are needed to represent an autonumber field. (rothd) |
96.05.08 | Convert all results from ODBCTableList() to uppercase since different
ODBC drivers impliment this differently (some uppercase some lower). Thanks
again to Jutta M. Klebe. (rothd) *** This patch is open for suggestions!!! *** |
96.07.22 | Added ODBCMoreResults(): Checks to see if there are any more records that have not been retrieved. (dunfordshore) |
