[ANNOUNCEMENT] DB-1.6.1 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package DB-1.6.1 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- ============= ENHANCEMENTS: - all: Minor coding standards fixes. (lsmith) ============= BUGS FIXED: - all: All native function calls now get errors silenced via @. (danielc) - all: LOAD DATA statements now return TRUE from isManip(). Bug 1005. (danielc) - common: Calling setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT) after using setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT, 'DB_row') didn't change the object type back to stdClass. Now it does. (danielc) - mysql, mysqli, odbc: Move error code portability mapping from connect() to mysqlRaiseError() so the feature can be turned on/off during runtime. (danielc) - oci8: In tableInfo() only return num_fields key if $mode is set. (lsmith) - oci8: numRows() now works if called after execute(). Bug 930. (danielc) - sqlite: Now uses sqlite_escape_string() to escape strings in escapeSimple() and quoteSmart(). (danielc via Matt Eaton) Package Info ------------- DB is a database abstraction layer providing: * an OO-style query API * portability features that make programs written    for one DBMS work with other DBMS's * a DSN (data source name) format for specifying    database servers * prepare/execute (bind) emulation for databases    that don't support it natively * a result object for each query response * portable error codes * sequence emulation * sequential and non-sequential row fetching as    well as bulk fetching * formats fetched rows as associative arrays,    ordered arrays or objects * row limit support * transactions support * table information interface * DocBook and PHPDoc API documentation DB layers itself on top of PHP's existing database extensions.
