The new PEAR package DB-1.6.6 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- ============= BUGS FIXED: * mssql: Use comma, rather than colon, to delimit port in connect(). Bug 2140.

Bug 1919. (danielc) * pgsql: Accommodate changes made to PostgreSQL so "no such field" errors get properly indicated rather than being mislabeled as "no such table." (danielc) 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.
