Changes in DBI 1.16,    30th May 2001
 
  Reimplemented fetchrow_hashref in C, now fetches about 25% faster!
  Changed behaviour if both PrintError and RaiseError are enabled
    to simply do both (in that order, obviously :)
  Slight reduction in DBI handle creation overhead.
  Fixed $dbh->{Driver} & $sth->{Database} to return 'outer' handles.
  Fixed execute param count check to honour RaiseError spotted by Belinda Giardie.
  Fixed build for perl5.6.1 with PERLIO thanks to H.Merijn Brand.
  Fixed client sql restrictions in ProxyServer.pm thanks to Jochen Wiedmann.
  Fixed batch mode command parsing in Shell thanks to Christian Lemburg.
  Fixed typo in selectcol_arrayref docs thanks to Jonathan Leffler.
  Fixed selectrow_hashref to be available to callers thanks to T.J.Mather.
  Fixed core dump if statement handle didn't define Statement attribute.
  Added bind_param_inout docs to DBI::DBD thanks to Jonathan Leffler.
  Added note to data_sources() method docs that some drivers may
    require a connected database handle to be supplied as an attribute.
  Trace of install_driver method now shows path of driver file loaded.
  Changed many '||' to 'or' in the docs thanks to H.Merijn Brand.
  Updated DBD::ADO again (improvements in error handling) from Tom Lowery.
  Updated Win32::DBIODBC (Win32::ODBC emulation) thanks to Roy Lee.
  Updated email and web addresses in DBI::FAQ thanks to Michael A Chase.
 
Enjoy.

Sorry for the delay getting this one out. In what little time I had I
was battling gremlins in dark corners of the attribute caching code
that made war on DBD::Proxy.  In the end had to make a pragmatic
withdrawl to fight another day.

Feel free to send me (just me) short notes on things that you think I
should have done but haven't got around to yet, like patches or bug
reports you've sent me previously, just to be sure they get done in a
future release.

Special thanks and appologies to Scott Hildreth, who's put in great
work on some code to pre-parse sql statement but which I've not had
time to integrate. Sorry Scott. It'll be top of the list when I next
work on the DBI.

I need to work on DBD::Oracle and Oracle::OCI now...

Tim.

p.s. I'm still undecided on the formatting that ShowErrorStatement
should use when appending the statement to the error message.
In this release it does "$DBI::errstr [for ``$statement'']".
