Latest releases of db

DB 1.7.14RC1

2007-11-27T21:29:39-05:00

This release candidate of DB fixes a number of minor issues reported since the release of DB 1.7.13. Note that this release has not yet been tested for databases other than MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite; however I've decided to put it out as a release candidate now as I won't be able to test the other database drivers until next week.

All drivers:
* Made the definition of DB_common::raiseError() compatible with PEAR::raiseError() by adding dummy parameters. Request 11581.

oci8:
* Fix for last_query reconstruction with lots of placeholders. Bug 12418, patch by Nicholas Evans.

pgsql:
* Added special-case to handle SAVEPOINT queries as manip queries. Bug 12260.

sqlite:
* Added support for another error message in the SQLite driver. Bug 12105, patch by Adam Ashley.

DB 1.7.13

2007-09-21T11:16:43-05:00

This release of DB fixes a number of minor issues reported since the release of DB 1.7.12.

All drivers:
* Replaced instances of '=& new Foo' with '= new Foo' to make DB (slightly) more E_STRICT friendly. Request 11581.

mysql:
* Added an explicit call to select the database to fix calls to tableInfo() without a preceding query. Bug 11580.

mysqli:
* Added an explicit call to select the database to fix calls to tableInfo() without a preceding query. Bug 11580.

sqlite:
* Altered fetchInto() to remove extraneous quotes returned by SQLite. Bug 11716.

DB 1.7.12

2007-06-29T09:14:50-05:00

This release of DB fixes an issue that prevented PostgreSQL users from escaping values with PHP 5.2.

Please note that this version of DB has removed the version 1 package.xml file. Consequently, PEAR 1.4 or later must be used to install this version of DB and any future versions.

oci8:
* Added view support to getSpecialQuery() for feature parity with other backends. Request 11110.

pgsql:
* Added schema.views support to getSpecialQuery() to avoid disadvantaging views within schemas. Request 11080.
* Changed parameter escaping to correctly pass up the DB connection. Bug 11125.

tests:
* Updated DIVZERO tests to reflect which DB backends actually return errors upon division by zero. Bug 10894.

DB 1.7.11

2007-03-28T03:04:35-05:00

This release of DB fixes a bug in FrontBase's transaction support that could
manifest when multiple connections were open at once.

DB 1.7.10

2007-03-20T05:25:28-05:00

DB 1.7.9

2007-02-06T02:43:50-05:00

This release of DB fixes minor bugs within the Sybase driver.

sybase:
* Added divide by zero error mapping.
* Added a specific quoteFloat() implementation along the same lines as fbsql.
* Updated tableInfo() to cope with old versions of ASE that don't have
sp_helpindex. Bug 6683.

DB 1.7.8

2007-01-28T19:50:07-05:00

This release of DB fixes numerous bugs compared to 1.7.7. Users of previous
versions are encouraged to upgrade in due course.

Users of the pgsql driver should note that this release fixes a security issue
reported by Yasuo Ohgaki; the security issue is described in more detail by
CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. PostgreSQL users should upgrade to both DB
1.7.8 AND at least PostgreSQL 7.3.15, 7.4.13, 8.0.8, 8.1.4 or 8.2.0 as soon as
possible if they are using SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030 or UHC as a client
encoding.

This release is identical to 1.7.8RC2. The full change log from 1.7.7 to 1.7.8
follows.

DB:
* Added code to DB_result::numRows() to return correct results when limit
emulation is being used. Bug 4649.
* Added DB::getDSNString() to allow pretty-printing of both string and array
DSNs, thereby improving the output of DB::connect() on error. Bug 3759.
* Added DB_common::nextQueryIsManip() to explicitly hint that the next query is
a manipulation query and therefore ignore DB::isManip(). Bug 3895.
* Changed all freeResult() methods to check that the parameter is a resource
before calling the native function to free the result. Bug 5762.
* Fixed DB_result::fetch*() to only increment their internal row_counters when
a row number has not been provided. Bug 7502.
* Fixed quoting of float values to always have the decimal point as a point,
rather than a comma, irrespective of locale. Bug 3021.
* Silenced errors on ini_set calls. Bug 4915.
* Tweaked DB::isManip() to attempt to deal with SELECT queries that include the
word INTO in a non-keyword context. Bug 9869.

fbsql:
* Fix DB_result::numRows() to return the correct value for limit queries.

ibase:
* Handled cases where ibase_prepare returns false. Bug 8217.

ifx:
* Altered simpleQuery() to treat EXECUTE queries as being data-returning.
Bug 5204.

mssql:
* Altered nextId() to use IDENT_CURRENT instead of @@IDENTITY, thereby
resolving problems with concurrent nextId() calls. Bug 181.

mysqli:
* Added the mysterious 246 data type to the type map. Bug 6477.
* Allowed the ssl option to be an integer. Bug 5657.

oci8:
* Added tracking of prepared queries to ensure that last_query is set properly
even when there are multiple prepared queries at a given time. Bug 7632.
* Altered connect() to handle non-standard ports. Thanks to Lukas Smith for the
patch. Bug 7216.
* Altered numRows() to properly restore last_query state. Bug 4388.

pgsql:
* Added schema support to _pgFieldFlags. Bug 5796.
* Updated pgsql escaping to use pg_escape_string when available.
