</p><p>Added not_null check in informix metacolumns().
</p><p>Connection parameters for postgresql did not work correctly when port was defined.
</p><p>DB2 is now a tested driver, making adodb 100% compatible. Extensive changes
to odbc driver for DB2, including implementing serverinfo() and SQLDate(), switching
to SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC as the cursor mode, and lastAffectedRows and SelectLimit()
fixes.
</p><p>The odbc driver's FetchField() field names did not obey ADODB_ASSOC_CASE. Fixed.
</p><p>Some bugs in adodb_backtrace() fixed.
</p><p>Added "INT IDENTITY" type to adorecordset::MetaType() to support odbc_mssql
properly.
</p><p>MetaColumns() for oci8, mssql, odbc revised to support scale. Also minor revisions
to odbc MetaColumns() for vfp and db2 compat.
</p><p>Added unsigned support to mysql datadict class. Thx to iamsure.

</p><p>The odbc_mssql driver now sets CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF for compat with
mssql driver.
</p>
<p><b>3.50 19 May 2003</b></p>
<p>Fixed mssql compat with FreeTDS. FreeTDS does not implement mssql_fetch_assoc().
<p>Merged back connection and recordset code into adodb.inc.php.
<p>ADOdb sessions using oracle clobs contributed by achim.gosse#ddd.de. See adodb-session-clob.php.
<p>Added /s modifier to preg_match everywhere, which ensures that regex does not
stop at /n. Thx Pao-Hsi Huang.
<p>Fixed error in metacolumns() for mssql.
<p>Added time format support for SQLDate.
<p>Image => B added to metatype.
<p>MetaType now checks empty($this->blobSize) instead of empty($this).
<p>Datadict has beta support for informix, sybase (mapped to mssql), db2 and generic
(which is a fudge).
<p>BlobEncode for postgresql uses pg_escape_bytea, if available. Needed for compat
with 7.3.
<p>Added $ADODB_LANG, to support multiple languages in MetaErrorMsg().
<p>Datadict can now parse table definition as declarative text.
<p>For DataDict, oci8 autoincrement trigger missing semi-colon. Fixed.
<p>For DataDict, when REPLACE flag enabled, drop sequence in datadict for autoincrement
field in postgres and oci8.s
<p>Postgresql defaults to template1 database if no database defined in connect/pconnect.
<p>We now clear _resultid in postgresql if query fails.
<p><b>3.40 19 May 2003</b></p>
<p>Added insert_id for odbc_mssql.
<p>Modified postgresql UpdateBlobFile() because it did not work in safe mode.
<p>Now connection object is passed to raiseErrorFn as last parameter. Needed by
StartTrans().
<p>Added StartTrans() and CompleteTrans(). It is recommended that you do not modify
transOff, but use the above functions.
<p>oci8po now obeys ADODB_ASSOC_CASE settings.
<p>Added virtualized error codes, using PEAR DB equivalents. Requires you to manually
include adodb-error.inc.php yourself, with MetaError() and MetaErrorMsg($errno).
<p>GetRowAssoc for mysql and pgsql were flawed. Fix by Ross Smith.
<p>Added to datadict types I1, I2, I4 and I8. Changed datadict type 'T' to map
to timestamp instead of datetime for postgresql.
<p>Error handling in ExecuteSQLArray(), adodb-datadict.inc.php did not work.
<p>We now auto-quote postgresql connection parameters when building connection
string.
<p>Added session expiry notification.
<p>We now test with odbc mysql - made some changes to odbc recordset constructor.
<p>MetaColumns now special cases access and other databases for odbc.
<p><b>3.31 17 March 2003</b></p>
<p>Added row checking for _fetch in postgres.
<p>Added Interval type to MetaType for postgres.
<p>Remapped postgres driver to call postgres7 driver internally.
<p>Adorecordset_array::getarray() did not return array when nRows >= 0.
<p>Postgresql: at times, no error message returned by pg_result_error() but error
message returned in pg_last_error(). Recoded again.
<p>Interbase blob's now use chunking for updateblob.
<p>Move() did not set EOF correctly. Reported by Jorma T.
<p>We properly support mysql timestamp fields when we are creating mysql tables
using the data-dict interface.
<p>Table regex includes backticks character now.
<p><b>3.30 3 March 2003</b></p>
<p>Added $ADODB_EXTENSION and $ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH constant.
<p>Made blank1stItem configurable using syntax "value:text" in GetMenu/GetMenu2.
Thx to Gabriel Birke.
<p>Previously ADOdb differed from the Microsoft standard because it did not define
what to set $this->fields when EOF was reached. Now at EOF, ADOdb sets $this->fields
to false for all databases, which is consist with Microsoft's implementation.
Postgresql and mysql have always worked this way (in 3.11 and earlier). If you
are experiencing compatibility problems (and you are not using postgresql nor
mysql) on upgrading to 3.30, try setting the global variables $ADODB_COUNTRECS
= true (which is the default) and $ADODB_FETCH_COMPAT = true (this is a new
global variable).
<p>We now check both pg_result_error and pg_last_error as sometimes pg_result_error
does not display anything. Iman Mayes
<p> We no longer check for magic quotes gpc in Quote().
<p> Misc fixes for table creation in adodb-datadict.inc.php. Thx to iamsure.
<p> Time calculations use adodb_time library for all negative timestamps due to
problems in Red Hat 7.3 or later. Formerly, only did this for Windows.
<p> In mssqlpo, we now check if $sql in _query is a string before we change ||
to +. This is to support prepared stmts.
<p> Move() and MoveLast() internals changed to support to support EOF and $this->fields
change.
<p> Added ADODB_FETCH_BOTH support to mssql. Thx to Angel Fradejas afradejas#mediafusion.es
<p> We now check if link resource exists before we run mysql_escape_string in
qstr().
<p> Before we flock in csv code, we check that it is not a http url.
<p><b>3.20 17 Feb 2003</b></p>
<p>Added new Data Dictionary classes for creating tables and indexes. Warning
- this is very much alpha quality code. The API can still change. See adodb/tests/test-datadict.php
for more info.
<p>We now ignore $ADODB_COUNTRECS for mysql, because PHP truncates incomplete
recordsets when mysql_unbuffered_query() is called a second time.
<p>Now postgresql works correctly when $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false.
<p>Changed _adodb_getcount to properly support SELECT DISTINCT.
<p>Discovered that $ADODB_COUNTRECS=true has some problems with prepared queries
- suspect PHP bug.

<p>Added support for mysql_real_escape_string() and pg_escape_string() in qstr().
<p>Added an intermediate variable for mysql _fetch() and MoveNext() to store fields,
to prevent overwriting field array with boolean when mysql_fetch_array() returns
false.

drivers.
<p>Changed mssql to use datetimeconvert ini setting only when 4.30 or later (does
not work in 4.23).
<p>ExecuteCursor($stmt, $cursorname, $params) now accepts a new $params array

<p>PostgreSQL and MSSQL speedups for insert/updates.
<p> Implemented new SetFetchMode() that removes the need to use $ADODB_FETCH_MODE.
Each connection has independant fetchMode.
<p>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE now defaults to 2, use native defaults. This is because we
would break backward compat for too many applications otherwise.

<p>Moved ADOConnection to adodb-connection.inc.php and ADORecordSet to adodb-recordset.inc.php.
This allows us to use doxygen to generate documentation. Doxygen doesn't like
the classes in the main adodb.inc.php file for some mysterious reason.

the seconds). Thanks to beezly#beezly.org.uk.
<p>Now you can set the trigger_error type your own user-defined type in adodb-errorhandler.inc.php.
Suggested by Claudio Bustos clbustos#entelchile.net.
<p>Added recordset filters with rsfilter.inc.php.
<p>$conn->_rs2rs does not create a new recordset when it detects it is of type
array. Some trickery there as there seems to be a bug in Zend Engine
<p>Added render_pagelinks to adodb-pager.inc.php. Code by "Pablo Costa" pablo#cbsp.com.br.
<p>MetaType() speedup in adodb.inc.php by using hashing instead of switch. Best
performance if constant arrays are supported, as they are in PHP5.

<p>Fixed ErrorNo() in postgres so it does not depend on _errorMsg property.
<p>Robert Tuttle added support for oracle cursors. See ExecuteCursor().
<p>Fixed Replace() so it works with mysql when updating record where data has not changed. Reported by
Cal Evans (cal#calevans.com).
<p><b>2.30 1 Aug 2002</b></p>
<p>Added pivottable.inc.php. Thanks to daniel.lucazeau#ajornet.com for the original

<p>We have an empty recordset, but RecordCount() could return -1. Fixed. Reported by "Jonathan Polansky" jonathan#polansky.com.
<p>We now check for session variable changes using strlen($sessval).crc32($sessval).
Formerly we only used crc32().
<p>Informix SelectLimit() problem with $ADODB_COUNTRECS fixed.
<p>Fixed informix SELECT FIRST x DISTINCT, and not SELECT DISTINCT FIRST x - reported by F Riosa
<p>Now default adodb error handlers ignores error if @ used.
<p>If you set $conn->autoRollback=true, we auto-rollback persistent connections for odbc, mysql, oci8, mssql.
Default for autoRollback is false. No need to do so for postgres.
As interbase requires a transaction id (what a flawed api), we don't do it for interbase.
<p>Changed PageExecute() to use non-greedy preg_match when searching for "FROM" keyword.
<p><b>2.20 9 July 2002</b></p>
<p>Added CacheGetOne($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetRow($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetAll($secs2cache,$sql).

concat operator from || to +.
<p>Fixed ms access bug - SelectLimit() did not support ties - fixed.
<p>Karsten Kraus (Karsten.Kraus#web.de), contributed error-handling code to ADONewConnection.
Unfortunately due to backward compat problems, had to rollback most of the changes.
<p>Added new parameter to GetAssoc() to allow returning an array of key-value pairs,
ignoring any additional columns in the recordset. Off by default.
<p>Corrected mssql $conn->sysDate to return only date using convert().
<p>CacheExecute() improved debugging output.

Supported by all databases except interbase.
<p><b>2.10 4 June 2002</b></p>
<p>Added uniqueSort property to indicate mssql ORDER BY cols must be unique.
<p>Optimized session handler by crc32 the data. We only write if session data has changed.
<p>adodb_sess_read in adodb-session.php now returns ''correctly - thanks to Jorma Tuomainen, webmaster#wizactive.com
<p>Mssql driver did not throw EXECUTE errors correctly because ErrorMsg() and ErrorNo() called in wrong order.
Pointed out by Alexios Fakos. Fixed.
<p>Changed ado to use client cursors. This fixes BeginTran() problems with ado.
<p>Added handling of timestamp type in ado.
<p>Added to ado_mssql support for insert_id() and affected_rows().
<p>Added support for mssql.datetimeconvert=0, available since php 4.2.0.
<p>Made UnixDate() less strict, so that the time is ignored if present.
<p>Changed quote() so that it checks for magic_quotes_gpc.
<p>Changed maxblobsize for odbc to default to 64000.
<p><b>2.00 13 May 2002</b></p>
<p>Added drivers <i>informix72</i> for pre-7.3 versions, and <i>oci805</i> for
oracle 8.0.5, and postgres64 for postgresql 6.4 and earlier. The postgres and postgres7 drivers
are now identical.
<p>Interbase now partially supports ADODB_FETCH_BOTH, by defaulting to ASSOC mode.
<p>Proper support for blobs in mssql. Also revised blob support code
is base class. Now UpdateBlobFile() calls UpdateBlob() for consistency.
<p>Added support for changed odbc_fetch_into api in php 4.2.0
with $conn->_has_stupid_odbc_fetch_api_change.
<p>Fixed spelling of tablock locking hint in GenID( ) for mssql.
<p>Added RowLock( ) to several databases, including oci8, informix, sybase, etc.
Fixed where error in mssql RowLock().
<p>Added sysDate and sysTimeStamp properties to most database drivers. These are the sql
functions/constants for that database that return the current date and current timestamp, and
are useful for portable inserts and updates.
<p>Support for RecordCount() caused date handling in sybase and mssql to break.
Fixed, thanks to Toni Tunkkari, by creating derived classes for ADORecordSet_array for
both databases. Generalized using arrayClass property. Also to support RecordCount(),
changed metatype handling for ado drivers. Now the type returned in FetchField
is no longer a number, but the 1-char data type returned by MetaType.
At the same time, fixed a lot of date handling. Now mssql support dmy and mdy date formats.
Also speedups in sybase and mssql with preg_match and ^ in date/timestamp handling.
Added support in sybase and mssql for 24 hour clock in timestamps (no AM/PM).

Bind params also work now, and raiseErrorFn with csv driver. Added csv driver to QA process.
<p>Better error checking in oci8 UpdateBlob() and UpdateBlobFile().
<p>Added TIME type to MySQL - patch by Manfred h9125297#zechine.wu-wien.ac.at
<p>Prepare/Execute implemented for Interbase/Firebird
<p>Changed some regular expressions to be anchored by /^ $/ for speed.
<p>Added UnixTimeStamp() and UnixDate() to ADOConnection(). Now these functions
are in both ADOConnection and ADORecordSet classes.
<p>Empty recordsets were not cached - fixed.
<p>Thanks to Gaetano Giunta (g.giunta#libero.it) for the oci8 code review. We
didn't agree on everything, but i hoped we agreed to disagree!
<p><b>1.90 6 April 2002</b></p>

<p>Experimental RowLock($table,$where) for mssql.
<p>Properly implemented Prepare() in oci8 and ODBC.
<p>Added Bind() support to oci8 to support Prepare().
<p>Improved error handler. Catches CacheExecute() and GenID() errors now.
<p>Now if you are running php from the command line, debugging messages do not output html formating.
Not 100% complete, but getting there.
<p><b>1.81 22 March 2002</b></p>
<p>Restored default $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT for backward compatibility.

<p>New Sybase SQL Anywhere driver. Contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
<p><b>1.80 15 March 2002</b></p>
<p>Redesigned directory structure of ADOdb files. Added new driver directory where

<p>Changed caching algorithm to create subdirectories. Now we scale better.
<p>Informix driver now supports insert_id(). Contribution by "Andrea Pinnisi" pinnisi#sysnet.it
<p>Added experimental ISO date and FetchField support for informix.
<p>Fixed a quoting bug in Execute() with bind parameters, causing problems with blobs.
<p>Mssql driver speedup by 10-15%.
<p>Now in CacheExecute($secs2cache,$sql,...), $secs2cache is optional. If missing, it will
take the value defined in $connection->cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds). Note that
CacheSelectLimit(), the secs2cache is still compulsory - sigh.
<p>Sybase SQL Anywhere driver (using ODBC) contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de

<p>MetaDatabases() for postgres contributed by Phil pamelant#nerim.net
<p>Mitchell T. Young (mitch#youngfamily.org) contributed informix driver.
<p>Fixed rs2html() problem. I cannot reproduce, so probably a problem with pre PHP 4.1.0 versions,
when supporting new ADODB_FETCH_MODEs.
<p>Mattia Rossi (mattia#technologist.com) contributed BlobDecode() and UpdateBlobFile() for postgresql
using the postgres specific pg_lo_import()/pg_lo_open() - i don't use them but hopefully others will
find this useful. See <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=1262">this posting</a>
for an example of usage.
<p>Added UpdateBlobFile() for uploading files to a database.
<p>Made UpdateBlob() compatible with oci8po driver.
<p>Added noNullStrings support to oci8 driver. Oracle changes all ' ' strings to nulls,
so you need to set strings to ' ' to prevent the nullifying of strings. $conn->noNullStrings = true;
will do this for you automatically. This is useful when you define a char column as NOT NULL.
<p>Fixed UnixTimeStamp() bug - wasn't setting minutes and seconds properly. Patch from Agusti Fita i Borrell agusti#anglatecnic.com.

<p>Mssql date regex had error. Fixed - reported by Minh Hoang vb_user#yahoo.com.
<p>DBTimeStamp() and DBDate() now accept iso dates and unix timestamps. This means
that the PostgreSQL handling of dates in GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() can
be removed. Also if these functions are passed '' or null or false, we return a SQL null.
<p>GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() now accept a new parameter, $magicq to

<p><b>1.62 11 Dec 2001</b></p>
<p>Major speedup of ADOdb for low-end web sites by reducing the php code loading and compiling
cycle. We conditionally compile not so common functions.
Moved csv code to adodb-csvlib.inc.php to reduce adodb.inc.php parsing. This file
is loaded only when the csv/proxy driver is used, or CacheExecute() is run.
Also moved PageExecute(), GetSelectSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() core code to adodb-lib.inc.php.
This reduced the 70K main adodb.inc.php file to 55K, and since at least 20K of the file
is comments, we have reduced 50K of code in adodb.inc.php to 35K. There
should be 35% reduction in memory and thus 35% speedup in compiling the php code for the
main adodb.inc.php file.
<p>Highly tuned SelectLimit() for oci8 for massive speed improvements on large files.
Selecting 20 rows starting from the 20,000th row of a table is now 7 times faster.
Thx to Tomas V V Cox.
<p>Allow . and # in table definitions in GetInsertSQL and GetUpdateSQL.
See ADODB_TABLE_REGEX constant. Thx to Ari Kuorikoski.
<p>Added ADODB_PREFETCH_ROWS constant, defaulting to 10. This determines the number
of records to prefetch in a SELECT statement. Only used by oci8.</p>
<p>Added high portability Oracle class called oci8po. This uses ? for bind variables, and
lower cases column names.</p>
<p>Now all database drivers support $ADODB_FETCH_MODE, including interbase, ado, and odbc:
ADODB_FETCH_NUM and ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. ADODB_FETCH_BOTH is not fully implemented for all
database drivers.
<p><b>1.61 Nov 2001</b></p>
<p>Added PO_RecordCount() and PO_Insert_ID(). PO stands for portable. Pablo Roca
[pabloroca#mvps.org]</p>
<p>GenID now returns 0 if not available. Safer is that you should check $conn->hasGenID
for availability.</p>
<p>M'soft ADO we now correctly close recordset in _close() peterd#telephonetics.co.uk</p>
<p>MSSQL now supports GenID(). It generates a 16-byte GUID from mssql newid()
function.</p>
<p>Changed ereg_replace to preg_replace in SelectLimit. This is a fix for mssql.
Ereg doesn't support t or n! Reported by marino Carlos xaplo#postnuke-espanol.org</p>
<p>Added $recordset->connection. This is the ADOConnection object for the recordset.
Works with cached and normal recordsets. Surprisingly, this had no affect on performance!</p>
<p><b>1.54 15 Nov 2001</b></p>
Fixed some more bugs in PageExecute(). I am getting sick of bug in this and will have to
reconsider my QA here. The main issue is that I don't use PageExecute() and
to check whether it is working requires a visual inspection of the html generated currently.
It is possible to write a test script but it would be quite complicated :(
<p> More speedups of SelectLimit() for DB2, Oci8, access, vfp, mssql.
<p>
<p><b>1.53 7 Nov 2001</b></p>
Added support for ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC for ado and odbc drivers.<p>
Tuned GetRowAssoc(false) in postgresql and mysql.<p>
Stephen Van Dyke contributed ADOdb icon, accepted with some minor mods.<p>
Enabled Affected_Rows() for postgresql<p>
Speedup for Concat() using implode() - Benjamin Curtis ben_curtis#yahoo.com<p>
Fixed some more bugs in PageExecute() to prevent infinite loops<p>
<p><b>1.52 5 Nov 2001</b></p>
Spelling error in CacheExecute() caused it to fail. $ql should be $sql in line 625!<p>
Added fixes for parsing [ and ] in GetUpdateSQL().
<p><b>1.51 5 Nov 2001</b></p>
<p>Oci8 SelectLimit() speedup by using OCIFetch().
<p>Oci8 was mistakenly reporting errors when $db->debug = true.
<p>If a connection failed with ODBC, it was not correctly reported - fixed.
<p>_connectionID was inited to -1, changed to false.
<p>Added $rs->FetchRow(), to simplify API, ala PEAR DB
<p>Added PEAR DB compat mode, which is still faster than PEAR! See adodb-pear.inc.php.
<p>Removed postgres pconnect debugging statement.
<p><b>1.50 31 Oct 2001</b></p>
<p>ADOdbConnection renamed to ADOConnection, and ADOdbFieldObject to ADOFieldObject.
<p>PageExecute() now checks for empty $rs correctly, and the errors in the docs on this subject have been fixed.
<p>odbc_error() does not return 6 digit error correctly at times. Implemented workaround.
<p>Added ADORecordSet_empty class. This will speedup INSERTS/DELETES/UPDATES because the return
object created is much smaller.
<p>Added Prepare() to odbc, and oci8 (but doesn't work properly for oci8 still).
<p>Made pgsql a synonym for postgre7, and changed SELECT LIMIT to use OFFSET for compat with
postgres 7.2.
<p>Revised adodb-cryptsession.php thanks to Ari.
<p>Set resources to false on _close, to force freeing of resources.
<p>Added adodb-errorhandler.inc.php, adodb-errorpear.inc.php and raiseErrorFn on Freek's urging.
<p>GetRowAssoc($toUpper=true): $toUpper added as default.
<p>Errors when connecting to a database were not captured formerly. Now we do it correctly.
<p><b>1.40 19 September 2001</b></p>
<p>PageExecute() to implement page scrolling added. Code and idea by Iván Oliva.</p>

<p>Many bug fixes thanks to "GaM3R (Cameron)" <gamr#outworld.cx>. Some session changes due to Gam3r.
<p>Fixed qstr() to quote also.
<p>rs2html() now pretty printed.
<p>Jonathan Younger jyounger#unilab.com contributed the great idea GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() which
generates SQL to update and insert into a table from a recordset. Modify the recordset fields
array, then can this function to generate the SQL (the SQL is not executed).
<p>"Nicola Fankhauser" <nicola.fankhauser#couniq.com> found some bugs in date handling for mssql.</p>
<p>Added minimal Oracle support for LOBs. Still under development.</p>
Added $ADODB_FETCH_MODE so you can control whether recordsets return arrays which are
numeric, associative or both. This is a global variable you set. Currently only MySQL, Oci8, Postgres
drivers support this.
<p>PostgreSQL properly closes recordsets now. Reported by several people.
<p>
Added UpdateBlob() for Oracle. A hack to make it easier to save blobs.
<p>
Oracle timestamps did not display properly. Fixed.
<p><b>1.20 6 June 2001</b></p>

<p>Extensive Oci8 speed optimizations.
Oci8 code revised to support variable binding, and /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint.</p>
<p>Worked around some 4.0.6 bugs in odbc_fetch_into().</p>
<p>Paolo S. Asioli paolo.asioli#libero.it suggested GetRowAssoc().</p>
<p>Escape quotes for oracle wrongly set to '. Now '' is used.</p>
<p>Variable binding now works in ODBC also.</p>
<p>Jumped to version 1.20 because I don't like 13 :-)</p>
<p><b>1.12 6 June 2001</b></p>
<p>Changed $ADODB_DIR to ADODB_DIR constant to plug a security loophole.</p>
<p>Changed _close() to close persistent connections also. Prevents connection leaks.</p>
<p>Major revision of oracle and oci8 drivers.
Added OCI_RETURN_NULLS and OCI_RETURN_LOBS to OCIFetchInto(). BLOB, CLOB and VARCHAR2 recognition
in MetaType() improved. MetaColumns() returns columns in correct sort order.</p>
<p>Interbase timestamp input format was wrong. Fixed.</p>
<p><b>1.11 20 May 2001</b></p>
<p>Improved file locking for Windows.</p>
<p>Probabilistic flushing of cache to avoid avalanche updates when cache timeouts.</p>

<p>Fixed mysql field max_length problem. Fix suggested by Jim Nicholson (jnich#att.com)</p>
<p><b>1.00 16 April 2001</b></p>
<p>Given some brilliant suggestions on how to simplify ADOdb by akul. You no longer need to
setup $ADODB_DIR yourself, and ADOLoadCode() is automatically called by ADONewConnection(),
simplifying the startup code.</p>
<p>FetchNextObject() added. Suggested by Jakub Marecek. This makes FetchObject() obsolete, as
this is more flexible and powerful.</p>
<p>Misc fixes to SelectLimit() to support Access (top must follow distinct) and Fields()
in the array recordset. From Reinhard Balling.</p>
<p><b>0.96 27 Mar 2001</b></p>
<p>ADOConnection Close() did not return a value correctly. Thanks to akul#otamedia.com.</p>

<p>Also many PostgreSQL changes by Freek. He almost rewrote the whole PostgreSQL driver!</p>
<p>Added fix to input parameters in Execute for non-strings by Ron Baldwin.</p>
<p>Added new metatype, X for TeXt. Formerly, metatype B for Blob also included
text fields. Now 'B' is for binary/image data. 'X' for textual data.</p>
<p>Fixed $this->GetArray() in GetRows().</p>
<p>Oracle and OCI8: 1st parameter is always blank -- now warns if it is filled.</p>
<p>Now <i>hasLimit</i> and <i>hasTop</i> added to indicate whether
SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 10 or SELECT TOP 10 * FROM TABLE are supported.</p>
