[ANNOUNCE] Apache::DBI 0.90_02

[Ask Bjoern Hansen <as...@perl.org>]

Last night I spent a bit of time making a proper test for
Apache::DBI and make it work without Apache.pm.  Just now I made it
work with mod_perl 2.0.  I have only tested that very briefly.

Until it hits your CPAN mirror, get it from:
http://develooper.com/code/Apache::DBI/

Or from CVS; instructions at
http://dev.perl.org/cvs/info?module=Apache/DBI/

Please try it out if you have a chance.  I would also like to see
more tests added to the t/ directory.

Changes since 0.89:


0.90_02 January 10, 2003
        - Changes to make Apache::DBI load and function under mod_perl
          2.0.  A few important notes: connect_on_init does not work yet
          and there's no automatic RollBack cleanup handler when
          autocommit is turned off.

0.90_01 January 10, 2003
        - Only call Apache::Status if Apache.pm is completely loaded
        - Make Test::More a prerequisite so we can do real tests
        - Make DBI.pm a prerequisite
        - Add a simple, but real, test script.  Requires DBD::mysql
          and a test database

I think it's not what you think. The difficult thing is the pool over 
threads support, so you can re-use the same connection over all threads 
in the process. 0.90_02 version has a pool per proc/thread, no sharing.
But you still benefit from the per-process cache just as in mod_perl 1.0.

As Stas said, it really wasn't.  You might even have been able to
with Apache::compat; I did not try.

The harder part is to make the database handles shared across a pool
of threads.  But just having it work like it does in Apache 1.x is
much better than not having it work at all!  :-)

WOW!

I had heard moving A:DBI to 2 was going to be very difficult!
I've been waiting...

I'll try it this weekend...

Thanks and Aloha => Beau;
