[ANNOUNCEMENT] DB_DataObject-1.5 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package DB_DataObject-1.5 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- New Features / Fixes * proxy and auto schema building - you can use dataobjects wihout running create tables. - schema is created on the fly if no schema file exists - using config option proxy=full, a class is generated on the fly to represent the tables. * toValue and fromValue added as getter and setter providers - they include date formating tools - eg. $do->getBirthDay('%d/%m/%Y') will work with overload and PEAR::Date to provide formated dates. (works with date/time and datetime) - set*() will also call strtotime and PEAR::Date to try and read dates.\ setFrom will relay into fromValue() - hence auto fixing date entries * make native key recognision a little better - changes ini file format (key=N|K) - native or key. - BC protected... - ignores it when it finds a number.. (Fixes bug #532) * allow multiple updates on the same object - without adding lots of id=.... on the end.. * transactions support works transparently by sending $do->query('BEGIN'), $do->query('COMMIT'),$do->query('ROLLBACK') will automatically relay into the DB methods. * re-add support for sequence_{tablename} - prefered method is still overriding sequenceKey, and returning correct values. Bug Fixes * fix bug #595 - replace non letters in class names with underscore.. * fix bug #532 - better recoginsion of sequence keys * fix bug #528/#476 - typo fix (E_NOTICE error on $valu) * fix bug #473 - query can return a DB_Error * fix bug #501 - autoload/factory now uses full path (not require path) * fix bug #507 - sequences broken Package Info ------------- DataObject performs 2 tasks: 1. Builds SQL statements based on the objects vars and the builder methods. 2. acts as a datastore for a table row. The core class is designed to be extended for each of your tables so that you put the data logic inside the data classes. included is a Generator to make your configuration files and your base classes. nd Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject Changelog: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=DB_DataObject Download: http://pear.php.net/get/DB_DataObject-1.5.tgz Authors ------------- Alan Knowles <alan@akbkhome.com> (lead)
