</A></H2>
Mike O'Reilly gracefully and patiently pointed out a number of
Unix-specific assumptions that have to be corrected to compile the module
with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.


<P>

Most of these affect device and filenames

<H2><A NAME="Add_database_manager_configurati">Add database manager configuration parameters for V9.7

</A></H2>
Add the new DB2 V9.7 configuration parameters, most of which are
SSL-related.


<P>

<P>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Generate_constants_locally">Generate constants locally

</A></H2>
The <CODE>db2_constants.pl</CODE> file translates DB2 constants from symbolic names to numeric values.
Previous releases generated the file when the package was created for
distribution; the file will now be generated locally as part of the build
process. This is necessary because IBM changes the value of some constants
in an incompatible manner; so a file generated for V9.5 will not work with
V8.2.


<P>

<P>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="ListUtilities_fix">ListUtilities fix

</A></H2>
The <CODE>ListUtilities</CODE> method now supports the <CODE>Version</CODE> parameter.

<H2><A NAME="Fix_core_dump_in_load_from_curso">Fix core dump in load from cursor

</A></H2>
A second bug in the db2Load command, caused a load from cursor (source type
``Statement'') to perform an invalid free, sometimes leading to a core
dump. Now fixed. Have run valgrind on import/export/load to verify no
additional mistakes are present.


<P>

<P>

<P>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="BugFix_in_Load_Import">BugFix in Load / Import

</A></H2>
A bug in the Load and Import methods prevented load/import operations
against mixed-case schema and table names (which have to be double-quoted
when passed to DB2). Now fixed.


<P>

<P>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Add_the_ReOpt_option_to_the_Re">Add the 'ReOpt' option to the Rebind method

<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Handle_quoting_for_FileOptions">Handle quoting for FileOptions

</A></H2>
FileOptions for Import, Export and Load that contain embedded blanks (e.g.
a TimestampFormat like 'MMM D YYY H:M:S') are now quoted before being fed
to the DB2 APIs.


<P>

<P>
