This is the first stable release.

DBA 1.0-rc1

2002-11-30T05:15:00-05:00

This is the first stable release-candidate.

* DBA::getDriverList() returns all supported drivers by the currently running PHP interpreter. DBA works fine with PHP's new DB4 support.
* Documentation updates

DBA 0.9.5

2002-11-13T12:49:00-05:00

* Errors now return error codes in addition to messages. Thanks to Olaf Conradi for the working on this.
* Minor updates to code comments

Next release will be 1.0 stable, barring any show stoppers.

DBA 0.9.4

2002-09-30T03:28:00-05:00

Several nice changes for this release:
* The DBA::exists() function has been renamed to DBA::db_exists(). This is to not be confused with the driver method exists().

* Added db2 support. Apparently, it just didn't work on my OS due to outdated db2 libraries (Slackware-current). Be sure to compile PHP with db2 2.7.7.

* Added db_drop() and drop() methods to the drivers. db_drop() is static and takes a database name as an argument; drop() deletes the currently open or last open database.

Many of the functions that were included with the earlier developer releases, such as the table manager and SQL parser, have been split into separate packages to be released soon.

DBA 0.9.3

2002-09-26T05:21:00-05:00

This release updates the driver constructors so that they call their base class's constructors. This makes PEAR's virtual destructor system function properly.

NOTE: The file driver appears to work incorrectly with the latest PHP CVS. I am currently investigating the issue. For now, either use CVS from a few weeks ago, or PHP up to 4.2.3.

Many of the functions that were included with the earlier developer releases, such as the table manager and SQL parser, have been split into separate packages to be released soon.

DBA 0.9.2

2002-09-25T18:02:00-05:00

This release fixes a bug in the firstkey() function of the builtin drivers (gdbm, db3) and adds the missing size() function.

Note that many of the pieces that were included with the earlier developer releases, such as the table manager and SQL parser, have been split into separate packages to be released again soon.

DBA 0.9.1

2002-09-25T01:23:00-05:00

DBA 0.9

2002-09-24T22:46:00-05:00

There is little new about DBA itself. However, this release does not include a
lot of the pieces that were included with the earlier developer releases, such
as the table manager and SQL parser. These have been split into separate
packages so that the core DBA class can go ahead with a stable release.

There are three changes to note:

* The 'simple' driver has been renamed to 'file'. This is a better description,
and shorter too.

* Support for opening a database persistently using the Builtin driver.
See the docs for open() on that driver. Persistence is not supported with the
'file' driver.

* Lastly, the installation directory structure is changed. Rather than
installing into a subdirectory of the DB packages (DB/DBA), DBA now installs
into the PEAR root directory into its own subdirectory (DBA.php, DBA).
Rather than use 'require "DB/DBA/DBA.php";' use 'require "DBA.php";'
Much simpler!
