## 5.19 - 23-Apr-2014

**NOTE:**
This release suffers from a [known issue with Associative Fetch Mode](https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/issues/20)
(i.e. when $ADODB_FETCH_MODE is set to ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC).
It causes recordsets to return empty strings (no data) when using some database drivers.
The problem has been reported on MSSQL, Interbase and Foxpro, but possibly affects
other database types as well; all drivers derived from the above are also impacted.

- odbtp: Now you can define password in $password field of Connect()/PConnect(), and it will add it to DSN.
- Datadict: altering columns did not consider the scale of the column. Now it does.
- mssql: Fixed problem with ADODB_CASE_ASSOC causing multiple versions of column name appearing in recordset fields.
- oci8: Added missing & to refLob.
- oci8: Added obj->scale to FetchField().
- oci8: Now you can get column info of a table in a different schema, e.g. MetaColumns("schema.table") is supported.
- odbc_mssql: Fixed missing $metaDatabasesSQL.
- xmlschema: Changed declaration of create() to create($xmls) to fix compat problems. Also changed constructor adoSchema() to pass in variable instead of variable reference.

- Active Record: If you have a field which is a string field (with numbers in) and you add preceding 0's to it the adodb library does not pick up the fact that the field has changed because of the way php's == works (dodgily). The end result is that it never gets updated into the database - fix by Matthew Forrester (MediaEquals). [matthew.forrester#mediaequals.com]
- Fixes RowLock() and MetaIndexes() inconsistencies. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18236
- Active record support for postgrseql boolean. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18246

- adodb-ado.inc.php: Added BigInt support for PHP5. Will return float instead to support large numbers. Thx nasb#mail.goo.ne.jp.
- adodb-mysqli.inc.php: mysqli_multi_query is now turned off by default. To turn it on, use $conn->multiQuery = true; This is because of the risks of sql injection. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18144
- New db2oci driver for db2 9.7 when using PL/SQL mode. Allows oracle style :0, :1, :2 bind parameters which are remapped to ? ? ?.
- adodb-db2.inc.php: fixed bugs in MetaTables. SYS owner field not checked properly. Also in $conn->Connect($dsn, null, null, $schema) and PConnect($dsn, null, null, $schema), we do a SET SCHEMA=$schema if successful connection.
- adodb-mysqli.inc.php: Now $rs->Close() closes all pending next resultsets. Thx Clifton mesmackgod#gmail.com
- Moved _CreateCache() from PConnect()/Connect() to CacheExecute(). Suggested by Dumka.
- Many bug fixes to adodb-pdo_sqlite.inc.php and new datadict-sqlite.inc.php. Thx Andrei B. [andreutz#mymail.ro]

- Fixed RowLock() parameters to comply with PHP5 strict mode in multiple drivers.

## 5.09 - 25 June 2009

- Active Record: You can force column names to be quoted in INSERT and UPDATE statements, typically because you are using reserved words as column names by setting ADODB_Active_Record::$_quoteNames = true;
- Added memcache and cachesecs to DSN. e.g.

    ``` php
    # we have a memcache servers mem1,mem2 on port 8888, compression=off and cachesecs=120
    $dsn = 'mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?memcache=mem1,mem2:8888:0&cachesecs=120';
    ```

- The oci8 driver did not handle LOBs properly when binding. Fixed. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=17991.
- Datadict: In order to support TIMESTAMP with subsecond accuracy, added to datadict the new TS type. Supported by mssql, postgresql and oci8 (oracle). Also changed oci8 $conn->sysTimeStamp to use 'SYSTIMESTAMP' instead of 'SYSDATE'. Should be backwards compat.
- Added support for PHP 5.1+ DateTime objects in DBDate and DBTimeStamp. This means that dates and timestamps will be managed by DateTime objects if you are running PHP 5.1+.
- Added new property to postgres64 driver to support returning I if type is unique int called $db->uniqueIisR, defaulting to true. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=17963

- You can also define your child/parent class in these functions, instead of the default ADODB_Active_Record. Thx Arialdo Martini & Chris R for idea.
- ADOdb Active Record: HasMany hardcoded primary key to "id". Fixed.
- Many pdo and pdo-sqlite fixes from Sid Dunayer [sdunayer#interserv.com].

## 5.05 - 11 Jul 2008

Released together with [v4.990](changelog_v4.x.md#4990---11-jul-2008)

- Added support for multiple recordsets in mysqli , thanks to Geisel Sierote geisel#4up.com.br. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=15917
- Malcolm Cook added new Reload() function to Active Record. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=17474
- Thanks Zoltan Monori (monzol#fotoprizma.hu) for bug fixes in iterator, SelectLimit, GetRandRow, etc.
- Under heavy loads, the performance monitor for oci8 disables Ixora views.
- Fixed sybase driver SQLDate to use str_replace(). Also for adodb5, changed sybase driver UnixDate and UnixTimeStamp calls to static.
- Changed oci8 lob handler to use & reference `$this->_refLOBs[$numlob]['VAR'] = &$var`.
- We now strtolower the get_class() function in PEAR::isError() for php5 compat.
- CacheExecute did not retrieve cache recordsets properly for 5.04 (worked in 4.98). Fixed.
- New ADODB_Cache_File class for file caching defined in adodb.inc.php.
- Farsi language file contribution by Peyman Hooshmandi Raad (phooshmand#gmail.com)
- New API for creating your custom caching class which is stored in $ADODB_CACHE:

    ``` php
    include "/path/to/adodb.inc.php";
    $ADODB_CACHE_CLASS = 'MyCacheClass';
    class MyCacheClass extends ADODB_Cache_File
    {
        function writecache($filename, $contents,$debug=false) {...}
        function &readcache($filename, &$err, $secs2cache, $rsClass) { ...}
         :
    }
    $DB = NewADOConnection($driver);
    $DB->Connect(...); ## MyCacheClass created here and stored in $ADODB_CACHE global variable.
    $data = $rs->CacheGetOne($sql); ## MyCacheClass is used here for caching...
    ```

- Memcache supports multiple pooled hosts now. Only if none of the pooled servers
  can be contacted will a connect error be generated. Usage example below:

    ``` php
    $db = NewADOConnection($driver);
    $db->memCache = true; /// should we use memCache instead of caching in files
    $db->memCacheHost = array($ip1, $ip2, $ip3); /// $db->memCacheHost = $ip1; still works
    $db->memCachePort = 11211; /// this is default memCache port
    $db->memCacheCompress = false; /// Use 'true' to store the item compressed (uses zlib)
    $db->Connect(...);
    $db->CacheExecute($sql);
    ```

## 5.04 - 13 Feb 2008

## 5.03 - 22 Jan 2008

Released together with [v4.97](changelog_v4.x.md#497---22-jan-2008)

- Active Record: $ADODB_ASSOC_CASE=1 did not work properly. Fixed.
- Modified Fields() in recordset class to support display null fields in FetchNextObject().
- In ADOdb5, active record implementation, we now support column names with spaces in them - we autoconvert the spaces to _ using __set(). Thx Daniel Cook. http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=17200
- Removed $arg3 from mysqli SelectLimit. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=16243. Thx Zsolt Szeberenyi.
- Changed oci8 FetchField, which returns the max_length of BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB as 4000 (incorrectly) to -1.
- CacheExecute would sometimes return an error on Windows if it was unable to lock the cache file. This is harmless and has been changed to a warning that can be ignored. Also adodb_write_file() code revised.
- ADOdb perf code changed to only log sql if execution time >= 0.05 seconds. New $ADODB_PERF_MIN variable holds min sql timing. Any SQL with timing value below this and is not causing an error is not logged.
- Also adodb_backtrace() now traces 1 level deeper as sometimes actual culprit function is not displayed.
- Fixed a group by problem with adodb_getcount() for db's which are not postgres/oci8 based.
- Changed mssql driver Parameter() from SQLCHAR to SQLVARCHAR: case 'string': $type = SQLVARCHAR; break.

- SelectLimit for oci8 not optimal for large recordsets when offset=0. Changed $nrows check.
- Active record optimizations. Added support for assoc arrays in Set().
- Now GetOne returns null if EOF (no records found), and false if error occurs. Use ErrorMsg()/ErrorNo() to get the error.
- Also CacheGetRow and CacheGetCol will return false if error occurs, or empty array() if EOF, just like GetRow and GetCol.
- Datadict now allows changing of types which are not resizable, eg. VARCHAR to TEXT in ChangeTableSQL. -- Mateo Tibaquirá
- Added BIT data type support to adodb-ado.inc.php and adodb-ado5.inc.php.

- Changed @@identity to SCOPE_IDENTITY() for multiple mssql drivers. Thx Stefano Nari.
- Code sanitization introduced in 4.95 caused problems in European locales (as float 3.2 was typecast to 3,2). Now we only sanitize if is_numeric fails.
- Added support for customizing ADORecordset_empty using $this->rsPrefix.'empty'. By Josh Truwin.
- Added proper support for ALterColumnSQL for Postgresql in datadict code. Thx. Josh Truwin.
