Changes in DBD::Oracle 1.06 14th July 2000

  Fixed ora_ph_type attribute to allow 96 or 97.
  Fixed compile failure with Oracle 7.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 1.05 13th July 2000

  Added $dbh->{ora_ph_type} attribute to define default bind type:
     1=> VARCHAR2,  does strip trailing spaces, embedded \0 bytes okay
     5=> STRING, doesn't strip trailing spaces, embedded \0 ends string
    96=> CHAR,   doesn't strip trailing spaces, embedded \0 okay
    97=> CHARZ,  doesn't strip trailing spaces, embedded \0 ends string?
    The two CHAR types force 'blank-padded comparison semantics'.
    Needs testing and documenting, volunteers most welcome!
  Added (many) typecasts to avoid compiler warnings thanks to Denis Goddard.
  Added ability to pass existing DBD::Oracle select statement handle
    (cursor) back _into_ Oracle as a ref cursor type thanks to Mike Moretti.
    Note that this enables a workaround for closing ref cursors:
    $dbh->do("BEGIN CLOSE :cursor; END;", undef, $sth_ref_csr_to_close);
  Improved Win32 support in Makefile.PL thanks to Michael A. Chase.
  Workaround Win32::TieRegistry FETCH error during global destruction.
  Re-enable row cache by default for OCI8 (can give big speed increase).
  Fixed bug in OCI8 row cache calculation thanks to Greg Stark.

Changes in DBD::Oracle 1.04 11th July 2000

  Added info on workarounds for Java thread related linker errors
    on Solaris with Oracle 8.1.6. Thanks to Andi Lamprecht.
  Fixed memory leak on connect. Thanks to Jeffrey W. Baker.
  Fixed memory and ref cursor leaks. Thanks to Mike Moretti and John Tobey.
  Fixed SEGV on insert/update or many LOBS. Thanks to Honza Pazdziora.
  Fixed treating SUCCESS_WITH_INFO from finish() as an error.
  Fixed passing of attribs to connect thanks to K.Takaoka.
  Fixed cursor binding example in docs thanks to Michael Chase.
  Build using otrace/demo/atmoci.mk as last resort thanks to Chris Sylvain.
  Improved reliability of "perl Makefile.PL -b" configure option.
  Improved reliability of t/plsql.t cursor tests. Hopefully.
  Improved reliability of ping method.
  Fixed broken SQL type warning in bind_param.

Enjoy.

I'm flying off to the Perl Conference tomorrow. I look forward to
seeing many of you there.

Tim.
