Revision history for Perl extension DB2. 0.10 * Original version: a massive rewrite from the three or four previous frameworks, first time prepared for possible redistribution 0.11 ! Added significant (read: non-trivial) test cases. Found problems while doing so. Reorganised some code. 0.12 + Added SELECT_join, find_join to DB2::Table + Added case insensitive match for DB2::db::get_table 0.13 ! API CHANGE - Obsoleted get_row_table_relationship + Add add_row_table_relationship (to add more flexibility, and save me some significant typing) 0.14 + Added !!!/!! support to CONSTRAINT and FOREIGNKEY column attributes + Improved return codes from DB2::Row->save() - should be able to reliably use "true" as success. Note that if nothing has changed, it is considered "true" that it saved okay. + Add default ROW setting for setup_row_table_relationship Defaults to C<$tablename . "R"> . + Added add_table as a simpler way to call add_row_table_relationship (especially when using the new default) 0.15 + Added default row type - now you don't need to derive a type from DB2::Row if you have nothing to overload. Deriving from DB2::Table remains since you always have to overload data_order. + Added add_tables as a simpler way to call add_table, only if using the defaults. + Added set_default_package for adding tables in other packages. 0.16 + Added get_base_row_type (was base_row_type in 0.15, but not documented). * Submitted to CPAN for the first time 0.17 + Added LICENSE file. Woops. 0.18 + Reworked SELECT to be a more general function. + Added ability to pass in columns as array ref + Added ability to pass in extra options + Added FOR READ ONLY clause, made it the default for find* functions - Obsoleted SELECT_join and SELECT_distinct as they can both be done via SELECT (simultaneously, even!) + Added statement attributes + Slight speed-up to DB2::db::get_row_type_for_table by converting eval STR to eval BLOCK. + Added DB2::Row::as_hash for *::Template users 0.19 + Allowed table types to be pre-loaded - if you don't want to put the table package into its own module, you'll need to use/require it first, and then DB2::db::get_table will just use it. + Setting $DB2::db::debug to greater than 1 will now Carp::cluck the SQL statement about to be prepared so you can see the context of any DBD::DB2 error messages. 0.20 + Added table delete functions - delete_id, delete_where, allowing for massive cleanups without having to retrieve the data first. 0.21 ! Changed to Module::Build ! API CHANGE * All data_order tags were lowercased. This is partly to follow Perl conventions, and partly to follow XML conventions. (Hoping to eventually add a DB2::TableFromXML or something) + Added pod-coverage tests (CPANTS game) 0.22 ! Forgot to add Test::NoWarnings as requirement ! Added call to finish statement handle for generated identities + Added WITH statement support (though if you start using this, you're probably more advanced than the author of this framework, and may be better off just using DBI directly)
