I have released a new development release (1.16_1) od DBD::ODBC this morning. It includes some bug fixes and a few new features - a summary below. Please let me know if you experience any problems with this release. Fixed bug in odbc_cancel which was checking the ACTIVE flag was on before calling SQLCancel. Non-select statements can also be cancelled so this was wrong. Thanks to Dean Arnold for spotting. Minor changes to test 01base to attempt to catch install_driver failing, report it as a fail and skip other tests. Fixed bug reported by James K. Lowden with asynchronous mode and SQLParamData where the code was not expecting SQL_STILL_EXECUTING and did not handle it Added odbc_putdata_start attribute to determine when to start using SQLPutData on lobs. Fixed bug in lob inserts where decimal_digits was being set to the size of the bound lob unnecessarily. Minor change to connect/login code to delete driver-specific attributes passed to connect so they do not have to be processed again when DBI calls STORE with them. New 12blob.t test. A lot of code tidy up but not expecting any real benefit or detriment when using DBD::ODBC. Fixed retrieving [n]varchar(max) columns which were only returning 1 byte - thanks to Fumiaki Yoshimatsu and perl monks for finding it. See http://markmail.org/message/fiym5r7q22oqlzsf#query:Fumiaki Yoshimatsu odbc+page:1+mid:fiym5r7q22oqlzsf+state:results Various minor changes to get the CPANTS kwalitee score up. fixed pod issues in FAQ.pm moved mytest dir to examples added generated_by and requires perl version to META.yml added pod and pod-coverage tests removed executable flag from Makefile.PL added use warnings to some modules and tests fixed pod errors in ODBC.pm added AUTHOR and LICENSE section to ODBC.pm added Test::NoWarnings to tests Added support for setting the new(ish) DBI ReadOnly attribute on a connection. See notes in pod. Changes to test suite to work around problems in Oracle's instant client 11r1 ODBC driver for Linux (SQLColAttributes problems - see 02simple.t). New tests in 30Oracle.t for oracle procedures. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
