DbFramework change log
|
|
|
|
2021-02-08
|
|
1. The DbFramework is hosted on GitHub now.
|
|
2. MANIFEST.SKIP: Added.
|
|
3. Makefile, MANIFEST, META.yml, SIGNATURE, t/Config.pm: Removed
|
|
the generated files.
|
|
4. COPYING: Removed the redundant and irrelevant GPL license copy.
|
|
5. AUTHORS, TODO, README, README.md: Replaced the messy
|
|
GNU-styled documents with a single Markdown README.md.
|
|
|
|
2008-05-03
|
|
1. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Automatic checks and lists only
|
|
the available DBD drivers for tests.
|
|
|
|
2008-05-03 version 1.12
|
|
1. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Provide a valid default DSN for
|
|
DBD::mysql, DBD::mSQL and DBD::Pg.
|
|
2. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Do not create the schema if
|
|
answer is "no".
|
|
|
|
2008-04-21
|
|
1. Changes: Updated.
|
|
2. Build.PL: Renamed test database from "dbframework_test" to
|
|
"test", to adapt the convention of MySQL and PostgreSQL.
|
|
3. TODO: Added.
|
|
4. AUTHORS: Added.
|
|
5. Artistic and COPYING: Added.
|
|
6. Makefile.PL: Added PL_FILES to disable PL files searching
|
|
behavior, in order to work with ExtUtils::MakeMaker earlier
|
|
than 6.25 that treats Build.PL as one of the PL files to run.
|
|
|
|
2008-04-20
|
|
1. Added lib and lib/DbFramework subdirectory. Move everything
|
|
inside, to make the directory cleaner.
|
|
2. Makefile.PL: Clean up. Removed PMLIBDIRS since it is not
|
|
required anymore. Removed linkext. linkext is only needed
|
|
for ExtUtils::MakeMaker before version 5. That is too old
|
|
today.
|
|
3. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Use "use lib qw(lib);
|
|
use DbFramework::Util;" instead of "require "./Util.pm"", in
|
|
order to be more portable on different platforms.
|
|
4. Makefile.PL: Renamed test database from "dbframework_test" to
|
|
"test", to adapt the convention of MySQL and PostgreSQL.
|
|
5. README: Moved Paul's BackPen URL to the previous line.
|
|
|
|
2008-04-19
|
|
1. Added lib and lib/DbFramework subdirectory. Move everything
|
|
inside, to make the directory cleaner.
|
|
2. Changes: Added, with contents from original Paul's README file.
|
|
This is to adapt the Perl module convention.
|
|
|
|
2008-04-19 version 1.11
|
|
Maintenance taken over by imacat.
|
|
1. Makefile.PL: Updated to use prompt() from ExtUtils::MakeMaker
|
|
instead of reading STDIN directly, in order to prevent infinite
|
|
loop with automated CPAN testers. (RT#34538)
|
|
2. t/util.pl: Subroutine yn() removed. It is not used anymore,
|
|
due to the prompt() fix.
|
|
3. README: Add notice about the distribution ownership change.
|
|
4. Makefile.PL: ABSTRACT, AUTHOR, LICENSE and SIGN added to the
|
|
WriteMakefile() arguments. VERSION is added in replace of
|
|
VERSION_FROM.
|
|
5. SIGNATURE: Digital signature added.
|
|
6. META.yml: YAML distribution meta-information added.
|
|
7. Build.PL: Module::Build build support added.

|
|
RELEASE 1.10
|
|
|
|
Added support for PostgreSQL.
|
|
|

INTERFACE CHANGES
|
|
PrimaryKey::
|
|
- New method as_hidden_html()

RELEASE 1.09
|
|
|
|
dbforms.cgi
|
|
- Can now update primary keys.
|
|
- Removed dependency on ePerl.
|
|
- Now takes dsn arguments to cater for variance between DBDs.
|
|
|
|
INTERFACE CHANGES
|
|
Catalog::
|
|
- set_primary_key() now sets labels if defined in the catalog.
|
|
DataModel::
|
|
- New method dsn().
|
|
- new() now requires name to be the database name as pattern match
|
|
to get database name forgot that this part of a DBI DSN is *non
|
|
standard*
|
|
- init_db_metadata() now requires DSN for catalog as it varies
|
|
between drivers. Also now allows username/password for authentication
|
|
against catalog database.
|
|
ForeignKey::
|
|
- New method sql_where().
|
|
Makefile.PL
|
|
- Moved most of the catalog initialisation here.
|
|
- Manual creation of databases now required as there's no standard
|
|
for creating databases. Each driver can use an arbitrarily named
|
|
database for testing.
|
|
Persistent::
|
|
- new() now requires a Catalog object.
|
|
- update now takes %attributes argument so that a primary key can be
|
|
updated. The current object state is used to update the row WHERE the
|
|
primary key matches the values in %attributes.
|
|
PrimaryKey::
|
|
- html_select_field() now has 'Any' *and* 'NULL' entries. I have a
|
|
feeling this still isn't quite right.
|
|
- New method as_hidden_html()
|
|
- Signature to new() has changed now that label columns are
|
|
supported by the catalog.
|
|
- html_select_field() now follows label columns which are foreign
|
|
keys back to their associated primary key table and uses the label
|
|
columns from that table. This gives more meaningful select fields.
|
|
Table::
|
|
- init_db_metadata() now requires catalog object argument. This
|
|
should improve performance as a new catalog object (which involves a
|
|
database connect()) won't be created every time this method is called.
|
|
- in_foreign_key() now returns a list of foreign keys containing
|
|
$attribute
|
|
DataType::ANSII::
|
|
- Signature to new() has changed. Now requires $ansii_type
|
|
argument. All data type objects will need to return their closest
|
|
ANSII types as this is the $type which needs to be supplied to
|
|
$dbh->quote($value,$type).
|
|
- New method ansii_type().

RELEASE 1.01 (FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE)
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
* BUG: dbforms.cgi delete on row consisting of all foreign keys silently fails.
|
|
|
|
* Improve dbforms.cgi interface. Perhaps a rename is in order too.
|
|
I'm thinking of having a single record interface with record
|
|
navigation. The form can then be designed and specified as an
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
* Fri Jan 8, 1999
|
|
BUG - >1 fk relating to the same pk table in a single table is not
|
|
handled by dbforms.cgi
|
|
|
|
4/1/1999
|
|
- User-defined templates specify attributes to be used for foreign keys
|
|
and ordering
|
|
- Allow relationships between the same table (in different roles).
|
|
Needs documenting
|
|
|
|
* Make Bundle::DbFramework
|
|
|
|
* Schema grammar
|
|
- might be better off using Jeeves (from the Panther book)
|
|
- should handle relationships of degree >2
|
|
- could be CDIF compliant
|
|
|
|
* Attributes of relationships should be stored so that full schema
|
|
including attributes of relationships can be built from meta-data.
|
|
|
|
* add support for UNIQUE columns (different to ordinary KEYs)
|
|
|
|
* make primary key in grammar optional (1:1 relationships)
|
|
|
|
* make relationships optional in grammar
|
