[ANNOUNCEMENT] oci8-2.0.0 (devel) Released.

The new PECL package oci8-2.0.0 (devel) has been released at http://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - NEW FUNCTIONALITY: - Added Implicit Result Set support for Oracle Database 12c. Streaming of all IRS's returned from a PL/SQL block is available via oci_fetch_array, oci_fetch_assoc, oci_fetch_object and oci_fetch_row (but not oci_fetch or oci_fetch_all). Alternatively individual IRS statement resources can be obtained with the new function 'oci_get_implicit_resultset' and passed to any oci_fetch_* function. - Added DTrace probes enabled with PHP's generic --enable-dtrace - IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY: - Using 'oci_execute($s, OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT)' for a SELECT no longer unnecessarily initiates an internal ROLLBACK during connection close. This can improve overall scalability by reducing "round trips" between PHP and the database. - CHANGED FUNCTIONALITY: - PHPINFO() CHANGES: - The oci8.event and oci8.connection_class values are now shown only when the Oracle client libraries support the respective functionality. - Connection statistics are now in a separate phpinfo() table. - Temporary LOB and Collection support status lines in phpinfo() were removed. These features have always been enabled since 2007. - OCI_INTERNAL_DEBUG() CHANGES: - The oci_internal_debug() function is now a no-op. Use PHP's --enable-dtrace functionality with DTrace or SystemTap instead. - INTERNAL CHANGES: - Fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference flagged by Parfait static code analyis. - Extended testing of existing OCI8 functionality. - Improved test output portability when using the PHP development web server to run tests. - Removed no-longer necessary unicode patterns from tests (vestiges of PHP's previous PHP 6 project) - Improved build portability by removing compilation type cast warnings with some compilers. - Fixed compilation warnings when building with Oracle 9.2 client libraries. - Updated code to use internal macro PHP_OCI_REGISTER_RESOURCE. - Regularized code prototypes and fixed some in-line documenation prototypes. - Fixed code folding. Package Info ------------- This extension allows you to access Oracle Database. OCI8 2.0 can be built with PHP 4.3.9 onwards.
