Well here it is the long awaited 1.24 Beer version of DBD::ORACLE

Loading Image...

You can find the release candidate here

http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/DBD-Oracle-1.24-RC1.tar

Any and all testing will be most welcome!

Well a big load of stuff this time. A number of patches and bug fixes
plus with this RC I am introducing a two really big features

1) Full support for a multiple records from a single Fetch. This should
really speed things up as it cuts down on round trips to the
server

2) I have added ora_ncs_buff_mtpl or environment var ORA_DBD_NCS_BUFFER
so you can control the size of the byte buffer for lobs. So rather
than a default buffer 4* the Long_Read_Length or it is now 1.
This should free up great hoards of memory for your LOB Fetches

anyway here is a complete list

Added extended support for 64 bit clients in Makefile.PL from Ralph
Doncaster
Added extended nvarchar support from Jan Mach
Added support for the TYPE attribute on bind_col and the new DBI
bind_col attributes StrictlyTyped and DiscardString from Martin J. Evans
Added ora_ncs_buff_mtpl and environment var ORA_DBD_NCS_BUFFER so we
can control the size of the buffer when doing nclob reads
Fix for bug in for changes to row fetch buffer mostly lobs and
object fetches
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=49741 Oracle.h has commented out params
in OCIXMLTypeCreateFromSrc from Kartik Thakore
Added from rt.cpan.org Ticket #=49436 Patch to add support for a few
Oracle data types to type_info_all from David Hull
Added from rt.cpan.org Ticket #=49435 Patch to add support for a few
Oracle data types to dbd_describe from David Hull
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=49331 Bad code example in POD from John
Scoles
Added support for looking up OCI_DTYPE_PARAM Attributes
Added support for looking up csform values
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46763,46998 enhancement -Rowcache size
is now being properly implemented with row fetch buffer from John Scoles
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46448 enhancement -Errors returned by
procedures are now unicode strings from Martin Evans, John Scoles and
Tim Bunce
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=47503 bugfix - using more than 1 LOB in
insert broken from APLA
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46613 bugfix - sig-abort on nested
objects with ora_objects=1 from TomasP
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46661 DBD::Oracle hungs when
insert/update with LOB and quoted table name from APLA
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46246 fetching from nested cursor
(returned from procedure) leads to application crash (abort) from John
Scoles
Fix for rt.cpan.org Ticket #=46016 LOBs bound with ora_field broken
from RKITOVER
Fix for bug in 58object.t when test run as externally identified user
from Charles Jardine

Thanks for this John.

All tests pass on "v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi" with
instant client 11.1 to Oracle 11.1.0 and the latest (from subversion)
DBI except 26exe_array (the usual problem).

I have a few minor comments.

1.

The following minor patch makes a lot of warnings go away because ah is
actually an OCIServer * and not a signed long:

Index: ocitrace.h
===================================================================
--- ocitrace.h (revision 13710)
+++ ocitrace.h (working copy)
@@ -267,7 +267,7 @@

oci_status_name(stat)),stat : stat

#define
OCIBindByName_log_stat(sh,bp,eh,p1,pl,v,vs,dt,in,al,rc,mx,cu,md,stat) \

2.

There are a number of typos in the Changes file for 1.24:

extened (*2) => extended
enviornment => environment
"Fix for bug in for changes" => ? what does this mean?
implimented => implemented
hungs => hangs

3.

Since 26exe_array fails for a growing number of people (758 hits on
google for 26exe_array fail) I think it would be useful to explain why
somewhere and add a Test::More::diag (or note, but needs a later
Test::More - I think DBI needs note now too). I would happily supply the
text but I still don't understand exactly why it fails.

4.

There are a number of comments on annocpan (and typos) which would be
worth considering.

5.

What does ora_ncs_buff_mtpl and ORA_DBD_NCS_BUFFER in the Changes refer
to - I cannot find any documentation.

I have not tested the rts I reported yet or the bind_col changes but
once I've done that I'll report back again and install it on our test
system.

In addition:

1. in Changes:

rt 46448 should be 46438

2. the code seems to have been realigned (in oci8.c) re tabbing etc and
it is much more readable now. However, some stuff is not realigned
properly e.g., some preprocessor code like the changes I made to
oci_error_err now look like this:

#ifdef sv_utf8_decode
sv_utf8_decode(errstr_sv);
#else
SvUTF8_on(errstr_sv);
#endif

and should be:

#ifdef sv_utf8_decode
sv_utf8_decode(errstr_sv);
#else
SvUTF8_on(errstr_sv);
#endif

The # needs to be in column 1.

Similarly with:

#if DBISTATE_VERSION > 94

These prevent 2 of the rts from working.

3. The call to DBIh_SET_ERR_SV at the end of oci.8/oci_error_err should
used &sv_undef instead of Nullsv. e.g.,

DBIh_SET_ERR_SV(h, imp_xxh, errcode_sv, errstr_sv, &sv_undef, &sv_undef);

It was originally Nullsv but my followup corrected that.

With the fixes in 1 and 2, rt 46438 works ok and I'll move on to rt
49818 and 46763.

These failures were due to the fact I had set
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 to test the utf8 text in error
messages. They go away when NLS_LANG is unset.
