Sybperl CHANGES:
1.006 Added contributed patches: &dbwritetext(),
&dbsafestr() and a modified &dblogin().
Added &dbhasretstats() and &dbretstatus(), as well as
some calls to DBlib macros such as DBCMD(),
DBMORECMD(), etc.
Received a patch to eg/space.pl from Wolfgang Richter.
Code that was defined to compile if BROKER_DBCMD was
defined has been removed. It was only a hack, making
use of knowledge of the structure of the DBPROCESS
data type.
Added the possibility to return an associative array
from &dbnextrow.
Added support for new datatypes (SYBREAL, SYBDATETIME4).
NULL values retrieved using &dbnextrow can be returned
as 'undef' instead of 'NULL' (this is a compile-time
option).
1.005 Sybperl would core dump if you used a uninitialized
DBPROCESS.
A solution to the sometime pathological memory usage
observed when using a release of Perl lower than 4.035
is also described in BUGS.
&dblogin now returns -1 if the dblogin() or dbopen()
calls fail.
Added the possibility to login to a specific server
without setting the DSQUERY environment variable.
Added a script to extract the information regarding
the database from the databases' system tables. See
eg/dbschema.pl.
1.004 Added support for Perl based error and message
handlers (as made possible by Perl 4.018). Many Thanks
to Teemu Torma for this code.
Added limited support for SYBTEXT datatypes.
Added &dbstrcpy() to retrieve the current command buffer.
The DBPROCESS parameter to most &db*() calls can now
be omitted: it will default to the first DBPROCESS
opened (the one that is returned by &dblogin()).
Added lib/sybdb.ph
Added a couple of example scripts in eg/*.pl, courtesy
of Gijs Mos (Thank You!).
1.003 Base version.
