DBD::Pg 1.30 is nearing release, and you can grab a copy of the latest
beta at:  http://www.remotelinux.com/rlippan/DBD-Pg-1.30_2.tar.gz  There 
are many changes in this release and large chunks of code have been 
re-written, so I would appreciate if some of you could pound on this and 
let me know if you find any problems.

If I don't hear anything in say, 48 hours, I'll re-tag this as 1.30 and 
send it up to CPAN.

Rudy


========
Changes:

1.30_2   - notice messages generated by the database new use the perl     warning mechanism instead of going to stderr.
   [Dominic Mitchell <dom@semantico.com>]   - $dbh->prepare() rewrites the SQL statement into an internal for
stripingout comments and whitespace, and if PostgreSQL > 7.3 takes 
 
the     stripped statement and passes that to postgress' PREPARE statement,     then rewrites the statement as 'EXECUTE
"DBD::PG::cached_queryn"     ($1, $2, ... $n, $n+1)' for DBD::Pg's execute.  -- Currently 
 
disabled     until PREPARE works a little better   - Allows the use of :n and :foo bind params. So: (SELECT * FROM foo

where     1 = :this and 2 = :that) will now work.   - Complains on execute when unbound bind params are submitted
(instead
 
of     defaulting to NULL)   - Switched over to use driver.xst.   - pg_error() only removes \n's don't truncate message
onfirst \n   - fixed statement scan problem where the preparse of     "SELECT foo[3:33] from bar"  was scanning :33 as
aplaceholder   - moved the quoting of bind values out of execute() and into     bind -- as there is no need to requote
thevalue every time execute     is called.   - :veryverylongplaceholdername ==  Long walk. Sort pier -- fixed.   -
quote()is now in C and uses same code as bind_param.   - quoting and dequoting now use libpq quoting functions where 
 
available     (I still need to take the libpq functions swiped out of quote.c and 
move     it into libpqswip.c with license info &c., and switch ifndefs to 
ifdefs)   - bind_param() will convert from 1,0 to TRUE/FALSE when pg_type is     PGBOOLOID.   - fixed many heap buffer
overruns.
