PEAR MDB2 2.4.0 Released

Lorenzo Alberton, in a post over his blog has announced the release of PEAR MDB2 2.4.0.

He says, he had tested most drivers (Firebird SQL, MySQL, MySQLi, MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite) and made sure that every one of them is in good shape. The MDB2 test suite was extended to cover almost all the public and private methods. This also includes the ones in the Manager and Reverse modules that aren't ‘standard features’ across all the DBMS, like TRIGGERs, VIEWs and FUNCTIONs, he informs.

Some of the changes that he lists in the changelog are as follows:

• Propagate errors in getTableFieldDefinition() in the Reverse module internally use MDB2::classExists() wrapper instead of directly calling class_exists()
• Fixed bug #9502: query result misbehaves when the number of returned columns is greater than the number of passed types
• Fixed bug #9748: Table name is not quoted in Extended.php buildManipSQL()
• Fixed bug #9800: when the PHP extension for the driver fails to load, the error is not propagated correctly and the script dies
• Propagate errors in the Datatype module
