Changes for version 0.46

  • ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Column types are now canonized to be all upper case. When multiple keywords specify the same type ('INT' and 'INTEGER', for example), one will be chosen. This improves the quality of the reverse engineering and the usability of the schema creation interface.
  • You can now use SQL functions pretty much anywhere you would want (in inserts, updates, where clauses, etc). See the "Using SQL Functions" section in the Alzabo.pm docs for more details.
  • As a corollary to the above, the Alzabo::Runtime::Table->function method has been created to replace the old Alzabo::Runtime::Table->func method. This new method takes advantage of the new system for using SQL functions and is simpler and more flexible. It allows you to perform all sorts of aggregate selects.
  • Added the Alzabo::Runtime::Row->select_hash method. Requested by Dana Powers.
  • DEPRECATIONS:
  • The Alzabo::Runtime::Table->func method has been deprecated.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • When adding an AUTO_INCREMENT column to an existing MySQL table, the SQL generated would cause an error. This has been fixed. However, if the table already has more than row then chances are this still won't work (because MySQL does not try to generate needed unique values for the column when it is added).
