Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

  Fetch ORACLE_SID from Win32 registry (thanks to Preston Bannister)
  Improved automatic row cache sizing (prompted by Jon Meek).
  Added $sth->{ora_cache_rows} and $sth->{ora_est_row_width}
  as read-only attributes to make cache size logic easier to test.

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.48 (Oraperl 1.36), 25th May 1998

  THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE - USE WITH CAUTION!
  Now links to -lclntsh directly (Thanks to Bruce Nelson and others)
  Workaround for broken backticks after login (Thanks to Warren Jones)
  Now finds and reads tnsnames.ora to disambiguate dbnames in connect.
  Added basic support for bind_param(..., SQL_TYPE).
  Fixed bind_param_inout after execute.
  Added dbms_output_(enable|put|get) functions.
  Added $dbh->ping.
  Added DBI->data_sources('Oracle');
  $sth->rows now warns if called for select before rows fetched.
  Fixed RAW types to not truncate.
  Improved quality and clarity of trace information.
  Requires DBI 0.92

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.47 (Oraperl 1.35), 8th Sept 1997

  $h->{InactiveDestroy} = 1; now works reliably (with DBI 0.90).
  Makefile.PL changed for Oracle8. Thanks to Philippe Vanhaesendonck.
  Long params now work. Thanks to Michael Harvey.
  (Long params don't yet work for inout params.)
  AutoCommit flag now per-dbh. Thanks to Irving Reid.
  Fixed panic: _dbd_rebind_ph when binding an undef.
  Added $dbh->ping method (for Apache::DBI users).
  Some field-level fetch errors didn't cause the fetch to fail
  (the field was simply set undef).
  LongReadLen now works (if $Oraperl::ora_trunc unset or <= 0)
  LongTruncOk now works (for non oraperl mode handle).

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.46 (Oraperl 1.34), 20th June 1997

  Fixed Makefile.PL to work with 5.004_01.
  Some VMS support from Dan Sugalski <sugalsd@stargate.lbcc.cc.or.us>
  If ORACLE_HOME isn't set, Oracle.pm no longer tries to guess it.
  bind_param_inout now checks for read-only variables.
  Requires DBI 0.84.

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.45 (Oraperl 1.33), 16th June 1997

  A $dbh DESTROY without an explicit disconnect does a rollback.
  Note that this may 'break' existing 'lazy' code but is completely
  essential for robust applications. See comments in Oracle.xs.

  Added Makefile.PL changes from Eric Bartley and others.
  The changes should fix build problems for Oracle 7.3.x.

  Requires DBI 0.83.

  Oraperl now uses DBI->connect and thus works with DBI 0.81 to
  automatically support Apache without requiring script changes.

  Reworked parameter binding in preparation for future changes.
  - mutated placeholder values are now automatically rebound.
  - in/out vars that become undef/null after binding now work.
  - transparent support for longs should be easier to implement.

  Added Win32 support from Jeff Urlwin.

  Added some documentation to DBD::Oracle for 'perldoc DBD::Oracle'.

  Most tests now converted to standard t/*.t format.
  Added $sth->{NULLABLE}->[$field].
  Added private plsql_errstr method: $txt=$dbh->func('plsql_errstr')
  to fetch PL/SQL error messages. Thanks to Bob Menteer.
  Added $sth->{ora_pad_empty} and ORAPERL_PAD_EMPTY env var
  for better compatibility with old oraperl.
  Added $sth->{AutoCommit} FETCH.
  Added $sth->{ChopBlanks} (but not yet tested).
  No longer asks Oracle for text of login failure message since
  that can cause oracle's code to hang (sigh). We provide fake text
  for the most common errors and a useful default for the rest.
  You can set DBD_ORACLE_LOGIN_ERR env var to revert to old behaviour.

    The Copyright terms for DBD::Oracle have changed and now read as follows:
  You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public
  License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file,

  for commercial distribution without the prior approval of the author.

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.44 (Oraperl 1.30), 14th Jan 1997

  Fixed leak in read_blob (thanks to Jurgen Botz for the patch).
  Improved automatic cache sizing (so better default caching).
  Negative cache size specifies desired cache/transfer size in bytes.
  Added $rowid = $csr->{ora_rowid} attribute (untested, please test).
  (Use via $csr->bind_param(1, $rowid, { ora_type => 11 });)
  Queries returning LONG's are no longer cached (so there's no
  need to set the cache to 1 explicitly to get read_blob to work).
  Added a test using string type with bind_param_inout in test.pl.
  Worked around the rather sad VMS linker case insensitivity.
  Worked around VMS linker length warning on XS...disconnect_all.
  Makefile.PL deletes non-existant files from $(COMPOBJS)
  (thanks to aburlison@cix.compulink.co.uk for the original patch)

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.43 (Oraperl 1.30), 29nd Oct 1996

  Fixed serious 'false ora_errno 1 after short select' bug.
  Worked around oracle bug that makes cda->ft unreliable.
  Do not use DBD::Oracle 0.41 or 0.42.
  Cursors are now 'describe'd at prepare time thus making
  NUM_OF_FIELDS always available. Describe does nothing for
  non-select operations. NUM_OF_FIELDS > 0 is now used to
  select between oexec() and oexfet() in execute().
  Added more internal debugging. Improved test.pl.

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.42 (Oraperl 1.30), 28nd Oct 1996

  Fixed serious 'cache empty after re-bind' bug.
  Do not use DBD::Oracle 0.41.
  Implemented oexfet (combined execute and cache fetch) for
  select operations. This is a further significant speed up.
  Many selects now make only one trip to Oracle (after prepare)
  which combines the execute and fetching multiple rows.

* Changes in DBD::Oracle 0.41 (Oraperl 1.30), 22nd Oct 1996
