DBD::Oracle v1.35_00 on its way to CPAN
Yanick Champoux
The trial version of DBD::Oracle v1.35_00 is on its way to CPAN.
Changelog details below.
Again in this release, nothing major code-wise, but lot of little
fixes, and a
major rearrangement of the documentation.
As usual, unless problems surface, the version will be promoted for
general
consumption in two week(ish).
Enjoy!

Changes in DBD-Oracle 1.35_00 (18-11-2011)
[BUG FIXES]
- if bind_col is called with a TYPE but no bind attributes like
StrictlyTyped or DiscardString are set DBD::Oracle still attempts
to call sql_type_cast which is pointless (Martin J. Evans)
- if bind_col is called with a TYPE other than SQL_NUMERIC,
SQL_INTEGER or SQL_DOUBLE and bind attributes like StrictlyTyped or
DiscardString a warning was not issued that the type is unsupported
and no data was returned (Martin J. Evans)
- Fix test so it works with perl compiled with -Duselongdouble [RT71852]
- Apply patch from Charles Jardine for better building against a full
Oracle 11 install [RT72463] (Martin J. Evans)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Added notes to bind_col documenting the fact that setting a TYPE
does not affect how the column is bound in Oracle, only what
happens after the column data is retrieved (Martin J. Evans)
- fix typo (thanks to Juli�n Moreno Pati�o) [RT72038]
- shuffle POD around to improve documentation flow [RT72252]
- major tidying up of the connect() documentation. (by Gwen Shapira)
- Moved LONG examples out of POD and into examples/
[OTHER]
- Commented out some functions in oci8.c which were not used to
reduce the size of the driver a little (Martin J. Evans)
