64 
</p><p>Spanish language file contributed by "Horacio Degiorgi" horaciod#codigophp.com.
65 
</p><p>Error handling in oci8 bugfix - if there was an error in Execute(), then when
66 
  calling ErrorNo() and/or ErrorMsg(), the 1st call would return the error, but
67 
  the 2nd call would return no error.
68 
</p><p>Error handling in odbc bugfix. ODBC would always return the last error, even
69 
  if it happened 5 queries ago. Now we reset the errormsg to '' and errorno to
70

87 
</p><p>Added support for only 'VIEWS' and "TABLES" in MetaTables. From Walt Boring.
88 
</p><p>Upgraded to adodb-xmlschema.inc.php 0.0.2.

94 
</p><p>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE constant wrong in sybase _fetch(). Fixed.
95 
</p><p><b>3.60 16 June 2003</b>
96 
</p><p>We now SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF for odbc_mssql driver to be compat with
97 
  mssql driver.
98 
</p><p>The property $emptyDate missing from connection class. Also changed 1903 to
99 
  constant (TIMESTAMP_FIRST_YEAR=100). Thx to Sebastiaan van Stijn.
100 
</p><p>ADOdb speedup optimization - we now return all arrays by reference.
101 
</p><p>Now DBDate() and DBTimeStamp() now accepts the string 'null' as a parameter.
102 
  Suggested by vincent.
103 
</p><p>Added GetArray() to connection class.
104 
</p><p>Added not_null check in informix metacolumns().
105 
</p><p>Connection parameters for postgresql did not work correctly when port was defined.
106 
</p><p>DB2 is now a tested driver, making adodb 100% compatible. Extensive changes
107 
  to odbc driver for DB2, including implementing serverinfo() and SQLDate(), switching
108 
  to SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC as the cursor mode, and lastAffectedRows and SelectLimit()
109

110 
</p><p>The odbc driver's FetchField() field names did not obey ADODB_ASSOC_CASE. Fixed.
111

  Josh R, Night_Wulfe#hotmail.com.
119 
</p><p>ChangeTableSQL contributed by Florian Buzin.
120 
</p><p>The odbc_mssql driver now sets CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF for compat with
121 
  mssql driver.
122 
</p>
123 
 
124 
<p><b>3.50 19 May 2003</b></p>
125 
<p>Fixed mssql compat with FreeTDS. FreeTDS does not implement mssql_fetch_assoc().
126 
<p>Merged back connection and recordset code into adodb.inc.php.
127 
<p>ADOdb sessions using oracle clobs contributed by achim.gosse#ddd.de. See adodb-session-clob.php.
128 
<p>Added /s modifier to preg_match everywhere, which ensures that regex does not
129 
  stop at /n. Thx Pao-Hsi Huang.
130 
<p>Fixed error in metacolumns() for mssql.
131 
<p>Added time format support for SQLDate.
132 
<p>Image => B added to metatype.
133 
<p>MetaType now checks empty($this->blobSize) instead of empty($this).
134 
<p>Datadict has beta support for informix, sybase (mapped to mssql), db2 and generic
135 
  (which is a fudge).
136 
<p>BlobEncode for postgresql uses pg_escape_bytea, if available. Needed for compat
137 
  with 7.3.
138 
<p>Added $ADODB_LANG, to support multiple languages in MetaErrorMsg().
139 
<p>Datadict can now parse table definition as declarative text.
140 
<p>For DataDict, oci8 autoincrement trigger missing semi-colon. Fixed.
141 
<p>For DataDict, when REPLACE flag enabled, drop sequence in datadict for autoincrement
142 
  field in postgres and oci8.s
143 
<p>Postgresql defaults to template1 database if no database defined in connect/pconnect.
144 
<p>We now clear _resultid in postgresql if query fails.
145 
<p><b>3.40 19 May 2003</b></p>
146 
<p>Added insert_id for odbc_mssql.
147 
<p>Modified postgresql UpdateBlobFile() because it did not work in safe mode.
148 
<p>Now connection object is passed to raiseErrorFn as last parameter. Needed by
149 
  StartTrans().
150 
<p>Added StartTrans() and CompleteTrans(). It is recommended that you do not modify
151 
  transOff, but use the above functions.
152 
<p>oci8po now obeys ADODB_ASSOC_CASE settings.
153 
<p>Added virtualized error codes, using PEAR DB equivalents. Requires you to manually
154 
  include adodb-error.inc.php yourself, with MetaError() and MetaErrorMsg($errno).
155 
<p>GetRowAssoc for mysql and pgsql were flawed. Fix by Ross Smith.
156 
<p>Added to datadict types I1, I2, I4 and I8. Changed datadict type 'T' to map
157 
  to timestamp instead of datetime for postgresql.
158 
<p>Error handling in ExecuteSQLArray(), adodb-datadict.inc.php did not work.
159 
<p>We now auto-quote postgresql connection parameters when building connection
160 
  string.
161 
<p>Added session expiry notification.
162 
<p>We now test with odbc mysql - made some changes to odbc recordset constructor.
163 
<p>MetaColumns now special cases access and other databases for odbc.
164 
<p><b>3.31 17 March 2003</b></p>
165 
<p>Added row checking for _fetch in postgres.
166 
<p>Added Interval type to MetaType for postgres.
167 
<p>Remapped postgres driver to call postgres7 driver internally.
168 
<p>Adorecordset_array::getarray() did not return array when nRows >= 0.
169 
<p>Postgresql: at times, no error message returned by pg_result_error() but error
170 
  message returned in pg_last_error(). Recoded again.
171 
<p>Interbase blob's now use chunking for updateblob.
172 
<p>Move() did not set EOF correctly. Reported by Jorma T.
173 
<p>We properly support mysql timestamp fields when we are creating mysql tables
174 
  using the data-dict interface.
175 
<p>Table regex includes backticks character now.
176 
<p><b>3.30 3 March 2003</b></p>
177 
<p>Added $ADODB_EXTENSION and $ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH constant.
178 
<p>Made blank1stItem configurable using syntax "value:text" in GetMenu/GetMenu2.
179 
  Thx to Gabriel Birke.
180 
<p>Previously ADOdb differed from the Microsoft standard because it did not define
181 
  what to set $this->fields when EOF was reached. Now at EOF, ADOdb sets $this->fields
182 
  to false for all databases, which is consist with Microsoft's implementation.
183 
  Postgresql and mysql have always worked this way (in 3.11 and earlier). If you
184 
  are experiencing compatibility problems (and you are not using postgresql nor
185 
  mysql) on upgrading to 3.30, try setting the global variables $ADODB_COUNTRECS
186 
  = true (which is the default) and $ADODB_FETCH_COMPAT = true (this is a new
187 
  global variable).
188 
<p>We now check both pg_result_error and pg_last_error as sometimes pg_result_error
189 
  does not display anything. Iman Mayes
190 
<p> We no longer check for magic quotes gpc in Quote().
191 
<p> Misc fixes for table creation in adodb-datadict.inc.php. Thx to iamsure.
192 
<p> Time calculations use adodb_time library for all negative timestamps due to
193 
  problems in Red Hat 7.3 or later. Formerly, only did this for Windows.
194 
<p> In mssqlpo, we now check if $sql in _query is a string before we change ||
195 
  to +. This is to support prepared stmts.
196 
<p> Move() and MoveLast() internals changed to support to support EOF and $this->fields
197 
  change.
198 
<p> Added ADODB_FETCH_BOTH support to mssql. Thx to Angel Fradejas afradejas#mediafusion.es
199 
<p> We now check if link resource exists before we run mysql_escape_string in
200 
  qstr().
201 
<p> Before we flock in csv code, we check that it is not a http url.
202 
<p><b>3.20 17 Feb 2003</b></p>
203 
<p>Added new Data Dictionary classes for creating tables and indexes. Warning
204 
  - this is very much alpha quality code. The API can still change. See adodb/tests/test-datadict.php
205 
  for more info.
206 
<p>We now ignore $ADODB_COUNTRECS for mysql, because PHP truncates incomplete
207 
  recordsets when mysql_unbuffered_query() is called a second time.
208 
<p>Now postgresql works correctly when $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false.
209 
<p>Changed _adodb_getcount to properly support SELECT DISTINCT.
210 
<p>Discovered that $ADODB_COUNTRECS=true has some problems with prepared queries
211 
  - suspect PHP bug.
212 
<p>Now GetOne and GetRow run in $ADODB_COUNTRECS=false mode for better performance.
213 
<p>Added support for mysql_real_escape_string() and pg_escape_string() in qstr().
214 
<p>Added an intermediate variable for mysql _fetch() and MoveNext() to store fields,
215 
  to prevent overwriting field array with boolean when mysql_fetch_array() returns
216 
  false.
217 
<p>Made arrays for getinsertsql and getupdatesql case-insensitive. Suggested by
218 
  Tim Uckun" tim#diligence.com
219 
<p><b>3.11 11 Feb 2003</b></p>
220 
<p>Added check for ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST constant in PConnect(). If defined, then
221 
  PConnect() will actually call non-persistent Connect().
222 
<p>Modified interbase to properly work with Prepare().
223 
<p>Added $this->ibase_timefmt to allow you to change the date and time format.
224 
<p>Added support for $input_array parameter in CacheFlush().
225 
<p>Added experimental support for dbx, which was then removed when i found that
226 
  it was slower than using native calls.
227 
<p>Added MetaPrimaryKeys for mssql and ibase/firebird.
228 
<p>Added new $trim parameter to GetCol and CacheGetCol
229 
<p>Uses updated adodb-time.inc.php 0.06.
230 
<p><b>3.10 27 Jan 2003</b>
231 
<p>Added adodb_date(), adodb_getdate(), adodb_mktime() and adodb-time.inc.php.
232 
<p>For interbase, added code to handle unlimited number of bind parameters. From
233 
  Daniel Hasan daniel#hasan.cl.
234 
<p>Added BlobDecode and UpdateBlob for informix. Thx to Fernando Ortiz.
235 
<p>Added constant ADODB_WINDOWS. If defined, means that running on Windows.
236 
<p>Added constant ADODB_PHPVER which stores php version as a hex num. Removed
237 
  $ADODB_PHPVER variable.
238 
<p>Felho Bacsi reported a minor white-space regular expression problem in GetInsertSQL.
239 
<p>Modified ADO to use variant to store _affectedRows
240 
<p>Changed ibase to use base class Replace(). Modified base class Replace() to
241 
  support ibase.
242 
<p>Changed odbc to auto-detect when 0 records returned is wrong due to bad odbc
243 
  drivers.
244 
<p>Changed mssql to use datetimeconvert ini setting only when 4.30 or later (does
245 
  not work in 4.23).
246 
<p>ExecuteCursor($stmt, $cursorname, $params) now accepts a new $params array
247 
  of additional bind parameters -- William Lovaton walovaton#yahoo.com.mx.
248 
<p>Added support for sybase_unbuffered_query if ADODB_COUNTRECS == false. Thx
249 
  to chuck may.
250 
<p>Fixed FetchNextObj() bug. Thx to Jorma Tuomainen.
251 
<p>We now use SCOPE_IDENTITY() instead of @@IDENTITY for mssql - thx to marchesini#eside.it
252 
<p>Changed postgresql movenext logic to prevent illegal row number from being
253 
  passed to pg_fetch_array().
254 
<p>Postgresql initrs bug found by "Bogdan RIPA" bripa#interakt.ro $f1 accidentally
255 
  named $f
256 
<p><b>3.00 6 Jan 2003</b>
257 
<p>Fixed adodb-pear.inc.php syntax error.
258 
<p>Improved _adodb_getcount() to use SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ($sql) for languages
259 
  that accept it.
260 
<p>Fixed _adodb_getcount() caching error.
261 
<p>Added sql to retrive table and column info for odbc_mssql.
262 
<p><strong>2.91 3 Jan 2003</strong>
263 
<p>Revised PHP version checking to use $ADODB_PHPVER with legal values 0x4000,
264 
  0x4050, 0x4200, 0x4300.
265 
<p>Added support for bytea fields and oid blobs in postgres by allowing BlobDecode()
266 
  to detect and convert non-oid fields. Also added BlobEncode to postgres when
267 
  you want to encode oid blobs.
268 
<p>Added blobEncodeType property for connections to inform phpLens what encoding
269 
  method to use for blobs.
270 
<p>Added BlobDecode() and BlobEncode() to base ADOConnection class.
271 
<p>Added umask() to _gencachename() when creating directories.
272 
<p>Added charPage for ado drivers, so you can set the code page.
273 
<pre>
274 
$conn->charPage = CP_UTF8;
275 
$conn->Connect($dsn);
276 
</pre>
277 
<p>Modified _seek in mysql to check for num rows=0.
278 
<p>Added to metatypes new informix types for IDS 9.30. Thx Fernando Ortiz.
279 
<p>_maxrecordcount returned in CachePageExecute $rsreturn
280 
<p>Fixed sybase cacheselectlimit( ) problems
281 
<p>MetaColumns() max_length should use precision for types X and C for ms access.
282 
  Fixed.
283 
<p>Speedup of odbc non-SELECT sql statements.
284 
<p>Added support in MetaColumns for Wide Char types for ODBC. We halve max_length
285 
  if unicode/wide char.
286 
<p>Added 'B' to types handled by GetUpdateSQL/GetInsertSQL.
287 
<p>Fixed warning message in oci8 driver with $persist variable when using PConnect.
288 
<p><b>2.90 11 Dec 2002</b>
289 
<p>Mssql and mssqlpo and oci8po now support ADODB_ASSOC_CASE.
290 
<p>Now MetaType() can accept a field object as the first parameter.
291 
<p>New $arr = $db-&gt;ServerInfo( ) function. Returns $arr['description'] which
292 
  is the string description, and $arr['version'].
293 
<p>PostgreSQL and MSSQL speedups for insert/updates.
294 
<p> Implemented new SetFetchMode() that removes the need to use $ADODB_FETCH_MODE.
295 
  Each connection has independant fetchMode.
296 
<p>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE now defaults to 2, use native defaults. This is because we
297 
  would break backward compat for too many applications otherwise.
298 
<p>Patched encrypted sessions to use replace()
299 
<p>The qstr function supports quoting of nulls when escape character is \
300 
<p>Rewrote bits and pieces of session code to check for time synch and improve
301 
  reliability.
302 
<p>Added property ADOConnection::hasTransactions = true/false;
303 
<p>Added CreateSequence and DropSequence functions
304 
<p>Found misplaced MoveNext() in adodb-postgres.inc.php. Fixed.
305 
<p>Sybase SelectLimit not reliable because 'set rowcount' not cached - fixed.
306 
<p>Moved ADOConnection to adodb-connection.inc.php and ADORecordSet to adodb-recordset.inc.php.
307 
  This allows us to use doxygen to generate documentation. Doxygen doesn't like
308 
  the classes in the main adodb.inc.php file for some mysterious reason.
309 
<p><b>2.50, 14 Nov 2002</b>
310 
<p>Added transOff and transCnt properties for disabling (transOff = true) and
311 
  tracking transaction status (transCnt>0).
312 
<p>Added inputarray handling into _adodb_pageexecute_all_rows - "Ross Smith" RossSmith#bnw.com.

<p>Fixed postgresql inconsistencies in date handling.
314 
<p>Added support for mssql_fetch_assoc.
315 
<p>Fixed $ADODB_FETCH_MODE bug in odbc MetaTables() and MetaPrimaryKeys().
316 
<p>Accidentally declared UnixDate() twice, making adodb incompatible with php
317 
  4.3.0. Fixed.
318 
<p>Fixed pager problems with some databases that returned -1 for _currentRow on
319 
  MoveLast() by switching to MoveNext() in adodb-lib.inc.php.
320 
<p>Also fixed uninited $discard in adodb-lib.inc.php.
321

<p>Rewrote pivoting code.
328 
<p><b>2.42, 4 Oct 2002</b></p>
329 
<p>Fixed ibase_fetch() problem with nulls. Also interbase now does automatic blob
330 
  decoding, and is backward compatible. Suggested by Heinz Hombergs heinz#hhombergs.de.
331 
<p>Fixed postgresql MoveNext() problems when called repeatedly after EOF. Also
332 
  suggested by Heinz Hombergs.
333 
<p>PageExecute() does not rewrite queries if SELECT DISTINCT is used. Requested

342 
<p>Fixed mysql text/blob types problem in MetaTypes base class - thx to horacio
343 
  degiorgi.
344 
<p>Added SQLDate($fmt,$date) function, which allows an sql date format string

351 
  - INFOCOB" phb#infocob.com.
352 
<p>Added white-space check to QA.
353 
<p>Changed unixtimestamp to support fractional seconds (we always round down/floor
354 
  the seconds). Thanks to beezly#beezly.org.uk.
355 
<p>Now you can set the trigger_error type your own user-defined type in adodb-errorhandler.inc.php.
356 
  Suggested by Claudio Bustos clbustos#entelchile.net.
357 
<p>Added recordset filters with rsfilter.inc.php.
358 
<p>$conn->_rs2rs does not create a new recordset when it detects it is of type
359 
  array. Some trickery there as there seems to be a bug in Zend Engine
360 
<p>Added render_pagelinks to adodb-pager.inc.php. Code by "Pablo Costa" pablo#cbsp.com.br.
361 
<p>MetaType() speedup in adodb.inc.php by using hashing instead of switch. Best
362 
  performance if constant arrays are supported, as they are in PHP5.
363 
<p>adodb-session.php now updates only the expiry date if the crc32 check indicates
364 
  that the data has not been modified.
365 
<p><b>2.31 20 Aug 2002</b></p>
366 
<p>Made changes to pivottable.inc.php due to daniel lucuzaeu's suggestions (we sum the pivottable column if desired).
367 
<p>Fixed ErrorNo() in postgres so it does not depend on _errorMsg property.
368 
<p>Robert Tuttle added support for oracle cursors. See ExecuteCursor().
369 
<p>Fixed Replace() so it works with mysql when updating record where data has not changed. Reported by
370 
Cal Evans (cal#calevans.com).
371 
<p><b>2.30 1 Aug 2002</b></p>
372 
<p>Added pivottable.inc.php. Thanks to daniel.lucazeau#ajornet.com for the original
373 
  concept.
374 
<p>Added ADOConnection::outp($msg,$newline) to output error and debugging messages. Now
375 
you can override this using the ADODB_OUTP constant and use your own output handler.
376 
<p>Changed == to === for 'null' comparison. Reported by ericquil#yahoo.com
377 
<p>Fixed mssql SelectLimit( ) bug when distinct used.
378 
<p><b>2.30 1 Aug 2002</b></p>
379 
<p>New GetCol() and CacheGetCol() from ross#bnw.com that returns the first field as a 1 dim array.
380 
<p>We have an empty recordset, but RecordCount() could return -1. Fixed. Reported by  "Jonathan Polansky" jonathan#polansky.com.
381 
<p>We now check for session variable changes using strlen($sessval).crc32($sessval).
382 
Formerly we only used crc32().
383 
<p>Informix SelectLimit() problem with $ADODB_COUNTRECS fixed.
384 
<p>Fixed informix SELECT FIRST x DISTINCT, and not SELECT DISTINCT FIRST x - reported by F Riosa
385 
<p>Now default adodb error handlers ignores error if @ used.
386 
<p>If you set $conn->autoRollback=true, we auto-rollback persistent connections for odbc, mysql, oci8, mssql.
387 
Default for autoRollback is false. No need to do so for postgres.
388 
As interbase requires a transaction id (what a flawed api), we don't do it for interbase.
389 
<p>Changed PageExecute() to use non-greedy preg_match when searching for "FROM" keyword.
390 
<p><b>2.20 9 July 2002</b></p>
391 
<p>Added CacheGetOne($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetRow($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetAll($secs2cache,$sql).
392 
<p>Added $conn->OffsetDate($dayFraction,$date=false) to generate sql that calcs
393 
  date offsets. Useful for scheduling appointments.
394 
<p>Added connection properties: leftOuter, rightOuter that hold left and right
395 
  outer join operators.
396 
<p>Added connection property: ansiOuter to indicate whether ansi outer joins supported.
397 
<p>New driver <i>mssqlpo</i>, the portable mssql driver, which converts string
398 
  concat operator from || to +.
399 
<p>Fixed ms access bug - SelectLimit() did not support ties - fixed.
400 
<p>Karsten Kraus (Karsten.Kraus#web.de), contributed error-handling code to ADONewConnection.
401 
  Unfortunately due to backward compat problems, had to rollback most of the changes.
402 
<p>Added new parameter to GetAssoc() to allow returning an array of key-value pairs,
403 
ignoring any additional columns in the recordset. Off by default.
404 
<p>Corrected mssql $conn->sysDate to return only date using convert().
405 
<p>CacheExecute() improved debugging output.
406 
<p>Changed rs2html() so newlines are converted to BR tags. Also optimized rs2html() based
407 
on feedback by "Jerry Workman" jerry#mtncad.com.
408 
<p>Added support for Replace() with Interbase, using DELETE and INSERT.
409 
<p>Some minor optimizations (mostly removing & references when passing arrays).
410 
<p>Changed  GenID() to allows id's larger than the size of an integer.
411 
<p>Added force_session property to oci8 for better updateblob() support.
412 
<p>Fixed PageExecute() which did not work properly with sql containing GROUP BY.
413 
<p><b>2.12 12 June 2002</b></p>
414 
<p>Added toexport.inc.php to export recordsets in CSV and tab-delimited format.
415 
<p>CachePageExecute() does not work - fixed - thx John Huong.
416 
<p>Interbase aliases not set properly in FetchField() - fixed. Thx Stefan Goethals.
417 
<p>Added cache property to adodb pager class. The number of secs to cache recordsets.
418 
<p>SQL rewriting bug in pageexecute() due to skipping of newlines due to missing /s modifier. Fixed.
419 
<p>Max size of cached recordset due to a bug was 256000 bytes. Fixed.
420 
<p>Speedup of 1st invocation of CacheExecute() by tuning code.
421 
<p>We compare $rewritesql with $sql in pageexecute code in case of rewrite failure.
422 
<p><b>2.11 7 June 2002</b></p>
423 
<p>Fixed PageExecute() rewrite sql problem - COUNT(*) and ORDER BY don't go together with
424 
	mssql, access and postgres. Thx to Alexander Zhukov alex#unipack.ru
425 
<p>DB2 support for CHARACTER type added - thx John Huong huongch#bigfoot.com
426 
<p>For ado, $argProvider not properly checked. Fixed - kalimero#ngi.it
427 
<p>Added $conn->Replace() function for update with automatic insert if the record does not exist.
428 
	Supported by all databases except interbase.
429 
<p><b>2.10 4 June 2002</b></p>
430 
<p>Added uniqueSort property to indicate mssql ORDER BY cols must be unique.
431 
<p>Optimized session handler by crc32 the data. We only write if session data has changed.
432 
<p>adodb_sess_read in adodb-session.php now returns ''correctly - thanks to Jorma Tuomainen, webmaster#wizactive.com
433 
<p>Mssql driver did not throw EXECUTE errors correctly because ErrorMsg() and ErrorNo() called in wrong order.
434 
Pointed out by Alexios Fakos. Fixed.
435 
<p>Changed ado to use client cursors. This fixes BeginTran() problems with ado.
436 
<p>Added handling of timestamp type in ado.
437 
<p>Added to ado_mssql support for insert_id() and affected_rows().
438 
<p>Added support for mssql.datetimeconvert=0, available since php 4.2.0.
439 
<p>Made UnixDate() less strict, so that the time is ignored if present.
440 
<p>Changed quote() so that it checks for magic_quotes_gpc.
441 
<p>Changed maxblobsize for odbc to default to 64000.
442 
<p><b>2.00 13 May 2002</b></p>
443 
<p>Added drivers <i>informix72</i> for pre-7.3 versions, and <i>oci805</i> for
444 
  oracle 8.0.5, and postgres64 for postgresql 6.4 and earlier. The postgres and postgres7 drivers
445 
  are now identical.
446 
<p>Interbase now partially supports ADODB_FETCH_BOTH, by defaulting to ASSOC mode.
447 
<p>Proper support for blobs in mssql. Also revised blob support code
448 
is base class. Now UpdateBlobFile() calls UpdateBlob() for consistency.
449 
<p>Added support for changed odbc_fetch_into api in php 4.2.0
450 
with $conn-&gt;_has_stupid_odbc_fetch_api_change.
451 
<p>Fixed spelling of tablock locking hint in GenID( ) for mssql.
452 
<p>Added RowLock( ) to several databases, including oci8, informix, sybase, etc.
453 
  Fixed where error in mssql RowLock().
454 
<p>Added sysDate and sysTimeStamp properties to most database drivers. These are the sql
455 
functions/constants for that database that return the current date and current timestamp, and
456 
are useful for portable inserts and updates.
457 
<p>Support for RecordCount() caused date handling in sybase and mssql to break.
458 
Fixed, thanks to Toni Tunkkari, by creating derived classes for ADORecordSet_array for
459 
both databases. Generalized using arrayClass property. Also to support RecordCount(),
460 
changed metatype handling for ado drivers. Now the type returned in FetchField
461 
  is no longer a number, but the 1-char data type returned by MetaType.
462 
  At the same time, fixed a lot of date handling. Now mssql support dmy and mdy date formats.
463 
Also speedups in sybase and mssql with preg_match and ^ in date/timestamp handling.
464 
Added support in sybase and mssql for 24 hour clock in timestamps (no AM/PM).
465 
<p>Extensive revisions to informix driver - thanks to Samuel CARRIERE samuel_carriere#hotmail.com
466 
<p>Added $ok parameter to CommitTrans($ok) for easy rollbacks.
467 
<p>Fixed odbc MetaColumns and MetaTables to save and restore $ADODB_FETCH_MODE.
468 
<p>Some odbc drivers did not call the base connection class constructor. Fixed.
469 
<p>Fixed regex for GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() to support more legal character combinations.
470 
 
471 
<p><b>1.99 21 April 2002</b></p>
472 
<p>Added emulated RecordCount() to all database drivers if $ADODB_COUNTRECS = true
473 
  (which it is by default). Inspired by Cristiano Duarte (cunha17#uol.com.br).
474 
<p>Unified stored procedure support for mssql and oci8. Parameter() and PrepareSP()
475 
  functions implemented.
476 
<p>Added support for SELECT FIRST in informix, modified hasTop property to support
477 
  this.
478 
<p>Changed csv driver to handle updates/deletes/inserts properly (when Execute() returns true).
479 
Bind params also work now, and raiseErrorFn with csv driver. Added csv driver to QA process.
480 
<p>Better error checking in oci8 UpdateBlob() and UpdateBlobFile().
481 
<p>Added TIME type to MySQL - patch by Manfred h9125297#zechine.wu-wien.ac.at
482 
<p>Prepare/Execute implemented for Interbase/Firebird
483 
<p>Changed some regular expressions to be anchored by /^ $/ for speed.
484 
<p>Added UnixTimeStamp() and UnixDate() to ADOConnection(). Now these functions
485 
  are in both ADOConnection and ADORecordSet classes.
486 
<p>Empty recordsets were not cached - fixed.
487 
<p>Thanks to Gaetano Giunta (g.giunta#libero.it) for the oci8 code review. We
488 
  didn't agree on everything, but i hoped we agreed to disagree!
489 
<p><b>1.90 6 April 2002</b></p>

492 
<p>NextRecordSet() support for mssql. Contributed by "Sven Axelsson" sven.axelsson#bokochwebb.se
493 
<p>Added blob support for SQL Anywhere. Contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
494 
<p>Fixed some security loopholes in server.php. Server.php also supports fetch mode.
495 
<p>Generalized GenID() to support odbc and mssql drivers. Mssql no longer generates GUID's.
496 
<p>Experimental RowLock($table,$where) for mssql.
497 
<p>Properly implemented Prepare() in oci8 and ODBC.
498 
<p>Added Bind() support to oci8 to support Prepare().
499 
<p>Improved error handler. Catches CacheExecute() and GenID() errors now.
500 
<p>Now if you are running php from the command line, debugging messages do not output html formating.
501 
Not 100% complete, but getting there.
502 
<p><b>1.81 22 March 2002</b></p>
503 
<p>Restored default $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT for backward compatibility.
504 
<p>SelectLimit for oci8 improved - Our FIRST_ROWS optimization now does not overwrite existing hint.
505 
<p>New Sybase SQL Anywhere driver. Contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
506 
<p><b>1.80 15 March 2002</b></p>
507 
<p>Redesigned directory structure of ADOdb files. Added new driver directory where
508 
all database drivers reside.
509 
<p>Changed caching algorithm to create subdirectories. Now we scale better.
510 
<p>Informix driver now supports insert_id(). Contribution by "Andrea Pinnisi" pinnisi#sysnet.it
511 
<p>Added experimental ISO date and FetchField support for informix.
512 
<p>Fixed a quoting bug in Execute() with bind parameters, causing problems with blobs.
513 
<p>Mssql driver speedup by 10-15%.
514 
<p>Now in CacheExecute($secs2cache,$sql,...), $secs2cache is optional. If missing, it will
515 
take the value defined in $connection->cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds). Note that
516 
CacheSelectLimit(), the secs2cache is still compulsory - sigh.

<p>MetaDatabases() for postgres contributed by Phil pamelant#nerim.net
521 
 <p>Mitchell T. Young (mitch#youngfamily.org) contributed informix driver.
522 
 <p>Fixed rs2html() problem. I cannot reproduce, so probably a problem with pre PHP 4.1.0 versions,
523 
  when supporting new ADODB_FETCH_MODEs.
524 
 <p>Mattia Rossi (mattia#technologist.com) contributed BlobDecode() and UpdateBlobFile() for postgresql
525 
 using the postgres specific pg_lo_import()/pg_lo_open() - i don't use them but hopefully others will
526 
 find this useful. See <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=1262">this posting</a>
527 
 for an example of usage.
528 
 <p>Added UpdateBlobFile() for uploading files to a database.
529 
 <p>Made UpdateBlob() compatible with oci8po driver.
530 
 <p>Added noNullStrings support to oci8 driver. Oracle changes all ' ' strings to nulls,
531 
  so you need to set strings to ' ' to prevent the nullifying of strings. $conn->noNullStrings = true;
532 
  will do this for you automatically. This is useful when you define a char column as NOT NULL.
533 
  <p>Fixed UnixTimeStamp() bug - wasn't setting minutes and seconds properly. Patch from Agusti Fita i Borrell agusti#anglatecnic.com.
534 
  <p>Toni Tunkkari added patch for sybase dates. Problem with spaces in day part of date fixed.
535 
 <p><b>1.71 18 Jan 2002</b></p>
536 
 <p>Sequence start id support. Now $conn->Gen_ID('seqname', 50) to start sequence from 50.
537 
 <p>CSV driver fix for selectlimit, from Andreas - akaiser#vocote.de.
538 
<P>Gam3r spotted that a global variable was undefined in the session handler.
539 
<p>Mssql date regex had error. Fixed - reported by Minh Hoang vb_user#yahoo.com.
540 
<p>DBTimeStamp() and DBDate() now accept iso dates and unix timestamps. This means
541 
that the PostgreSQL handling of dates in GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() can
542 
be removed. Also if these functions are passed '' or null or false, we return a SQL null.
543 
<p>GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() now accept a new parameter, $magicq to
544 
indicate whether quotes should be inserted based on magic quote settings - suggested by
545 
dj#4ict.com.
546 
<p>Reformated docs slightly based on suggestions by Chris Small.
547 
 <p><b>1.65 28 Dec 2001</b></p>

 <p>Now instead of using $rs->fields[0] internally, we use reset($rs->fields) so
550 
 that we are compatible with ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC mode. Reported by Nico S.
551 
 <p>Changed recordset constructor and _initrs() for oci8 so that it returns the field definitions even
552

<p><b>1.62 11 Dec 2001</b></p>
566 
<p>Major speedup of ADOdb for low-end web sites by reducing the php code loading and compiling
567 
cycle. We conditionally compile not so common functions.
568 
Moved csv code to adodb-csvlib.inc.php to reduce adodb.inc.php parsing. This file
569 
is loaded only when the csv/proxy driver is used, or CacheExecute() is run.
570 
Also moved PageExecute(), GetSelectSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() core code to adodb-lib.inc.php.
571 
This reduced the 70K main adodb.inc.php file to 55K, and since at least 20K of the file
572 
is comments, we have reduced 50K of code in adodb.inc.php to 35K. There
573 
 should be 35% reduction in memory and thus 35% speedup in compiling the php code for the
574 
main adodb.inc.php file.
575 
<p>Highly tuned SelectLimit() for oci8 for massive speed improvements on large files.
576 
Selecting 20 rows starting from the 20,000th row of a table is now 7 times faster.
577 
Thx to Tomas V V Cox.
578 
<p>Allow . and # in table definitions in GetInsertSQL and GetUpdateSQL.
579 
 See ADODB_TABLE_REGEX constant. Thx to Ari Kuorikoski.
580 
<p>Added ADODB_PREFETCH_ROWS constant, defaulting to 10. This determines the number
581 
of records to prefetch in a SELECT statement. Only used by oci8.</p>
582 
<p>Added high portability Oracle class called oci8po. This uses ? for bind variables, and
583 
lower cases column names.</p>
584 
<p>Now all database drivers support $ADODB_FETCH_MODE, including interbase, ado, and odbc:
585 
ADODB_FETCH_NUM and ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. ADODB_FETCH_BOTH is not fully implemented for all
586 
database drivers.
587 
<p><b>1.61 Nov 2001</b></p>

  for availability.</p>
592 
<p>M'soft ADO we now correctly close recordset in _close() peterd#telephonetics.co.uk</p>
593 
<p>MSSQL now supports GenID(). It generates a 16-byte GUID from mssql newid()
594 
  function.</p>

<p>Changed ereg_replace to preg_replace in SelectLimit. This is a fix for mssql.
596 
  Ereg doesn't support t or n! Reported by marino Carlos xaplo#postnuke-espanol.org</p>
597

to check whether it is working requires a visual inspection of the html generated currently.
603 
It is possible to write a test script but it would be quite complicated :(
604 
<p> More speedups of SelectLimit() for DB2, Oci8, access, vfp, mssql.
605 
<p>
606 
 
607 
<p><b>1.53 7 Nov 2001</b></p>
608 
Added support for ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC for ado and odbc drivers.<p>
609 
Tuned GetRowAssoc(false) in postgresql and mysql.<p>
610 
Stephen Van Dyke contributed ADOdb icon, accepted with some minor mods.<p>
611 
Enabled Affected_Rows() for postgresql<p>
612 
Speedup for Concat() using implode() - Benjamin Curtis ben_curtis#yahoo.com<p>
613 
Fixed some more bugs in PageExecute() to prevent infinite loops<p>
614 
<p><b>1.52 5 Nov 2001</b></p>
615 
Spelling error in CacheExecute() caused it to fail. $ql should be $sql in line 625!<p>
616 
Added fixes for parsing [ and ] in GetUpdateSQL().
617 
<p><b>1.51 5 Nov 2001</b></p>
618 
<p>Oci8 SelectLimit() speedup by using OCIFetch().
619 
<p>Oci8 was mistakenly reporting errors when $db->debug = true.
620 
<p>If a connection failed with ODBC, it was not correctly reported - fixed.
621 
<p>_connectionID was inited to -1, changed to false.
622 
<p>Added $rs->FetchRow(), to simplify API, ala PEAR DB
623 
<p>Added PEAR DB compat mode, which is still faster than PEAR! See adodb-pear.inc.php.
624 
<p>Removed postgres pconnect debugging statement.
625 
<p><b>1.50 31 Oct 2001</b></p>
626 
<p>ADOdbConnection renamed to ADOConnection, and ADOdbFieldObject to ADOFieldObject.
627 
<p>PageExecute() now checks for empty $rs correctly, and the errors in the docs on this subject have been fixed.
628 
<p>odbc_error() does not return 6 digit error correctly at times. Implemented workaround.
629 
<p>Added ADORecordSet_empty class. This will speedup INSERTS/DELETES/UPDATES because the return
630 
object created is much smaller.
631 
<p>Added Prepare() to odbc, and oci8 (but doesn't work properly for oci8 still).
632 
<p>Made pgsql a synonym for postgre7, and changed SELECT LIMIT to use OFFSET for compat with
633 
postgres 7.2.
634 
<p>Revised adodb-cryptsession.php thanks to Ari.
635 
<p>Set resources to false on _close, to force freeing of resources.
636 
<p>Added adodb-errorhandler.inc.php, adodb-errorpear.inc.php and raiseErrorFn on Freek's urging.
637 
<p>GetRowAssoc($toUpper=true): $toUpper added as default.
638 
<p>Errors when connecting to a database were not captured formerly. Now we do it correctly.
639

647 
<p>Fixed qstr() to quote  also.
648 
<p>rs2html() now pretty printed.
649 
<p>Jonathan Younger jyounger#unilab.com contributed the great idea GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() which
650 
generates SQL to update and insert into a table from a recordset. Modify the recordset fields
651 
array, then can this function to generate the SQL (the SQL is not executed).
652 
<p>"Nicola Fankhauser" &lt;nicola.fankhauser#couniq.com> found some bugs in date handling for mssql.</p>
653 
<p>Added minimal Oracle support for LOBs. Still under development.</p>
654 
Added $ADODB_FETCH_MODE so you can control whether recordsets return arrays which are
655 
numeric, associative or both. This is a global variable you set. Currently only MySQL, Oci8, Postgres
656 
drivers support this.
657 
<p>PostgreSQL properly closes recordsets now. Reported by several people.
658 
<p>
659 
Added UpdateBlob() for Oracle. A hack to make it easier to save blobs.

665 
Oci8 code revised to support variable binding, and /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint.</p>
666 
<p>Worked around some 4.0.6 bugs in odbc_fetch_into().</p>
667 
<p>Paolo S. Asioli paolo.asioli#libero.it suggested GetRowAssoc().</p>
668 
<p>Escape quotes for oracle wrongly set to '. Now '' is used.</p>
669 
<p>Variable binding now works in ODBC also.</p>
670 
<p>Jumped to version 1.20 because I don't like 13 :-)</p>
671 
<p><b>1.12 6 June 2001</b></p>
672 
<p>Changed $ADODB_DIR to ADODB_DIR constant to plug a security loophole.</p>
673 
<p>Changed _close() to close persistent connections also. Prevents connection leaks.</p>
674 
<p>Major revision of oracle and oci8 drivers.
675 
Added OCI_RETURN_NULLS and OCI_RETURN_LOBS to OCIFetchInto(). BLOB, CLOB and VARCHAR2 recognition
676 
in MetaType() improved. MetaColumns() returns columns in correct sort order.</p>
677 
<p>Interbase timestamp input format was wrong. Fixed.</p>
678 
<p><b>1.11 20 May 2001</b></p>

690 
<p>GetMenu improved by glen.davies#cce.ac.nz to support multiple hilited items<p>
691 
<p>FetchNextObject() did not work with only 1 record returned. Fixed bug reported by $tim#orotech.net</p>
692 
<p>Fixed mysql field max_length problem. Fix suggested by Jim Nicholson (jnich#att.com)</p>
693 
<p><b>1.00 16 April 2001</b></p>
694 
<p>Given some brilliant suggestions on how to simplify ADOdb by akul. You no longer need to
695 
setup $ADODB_DIR yourself, and ADOLoadCode() is automatically called by ADONewConnection(),
696 
simplifying the startup code.</p>
697 
<p>FetchNextObject() added. Suggested by Jakub Marecek. This makes FetchObject() obsolete, as
698 
this is more flexible and powerful.</p>
699 
<p>Misc fixes to SelectLimit() to support Access (top must follow distinct) and Fields()
700 
in the array recordset. From Reinhard Balling.</p>
701 
<p><b>0.96 27 Mar 2001</b></p>
702 
<p>ADOConnection Close() did not return a value correctly. Thanks to akul#otamedia.com.</p>
703 
<p>When the horrible magic_quotes is enabled, back-slash () is changed to double-backslash (\).
704 
This doesn't make sense for Microsoft/Sybase databases. We fix this in qstr().</p>
705 
<p>Fixed Sybase date problem in UnixDate() thanks to Toni Tunkkari. Also fixed MSSQL problem
706 
in UnixDate() - thanks to milhouse31#hotmail.com.</p>
707 
<p>MoveNext() moved to leaf classes for speed in MySQL/PostgreSQL. 10-15% speedup.</p>

716 
<p>Added fix to input parameters in Execute for non-strings by Ron Baldwin.</p>
717

718 
text fields. Now 'B' is for binary/image data. 'X' for textual data.</p>
719 
<p>Fixed $this->GetArray() in GetRows().</p>
720 
<p>Oracle and OCI8: 1st parameter is always blank -- now warns if it is filled.</p>
721 
<p>Now <i>hasLimit</i> and <i>hasTop</i> added to indicate whether
722 
SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 10 or SELECT TOP 10 * FROM TABLE are supported.</p>
723 
<p><b>0.94 04 Feb 2001</b></p>

<p>Added new metatype 'R' to represent autoincrement numbers.</p>
726 
<p>Added ADORecordSet.FetchObject() to return a row as an object.</p>
727

744 
 
745 
<p>Implemented ADORecordSet_array class. This allows you to simulate a database recordset
746 
with an array.</p>
