[ANN] ruby-oci8 2.0.5

K

Kubo Takehiro

Ruby-oci8 2.0.5 is released. This is the Oracle module using OCI8 API.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/

The next release will be 2.1.0 which doesn't support Oracle8 (8.0)
and Oracle 8i (8.1) anymore.

* New Features

- Support Rubinius.

I just now found that temporary LOBs causes SEGV when they are GCed on
rubinius 1.2.3. It works fine on the latest rubinius in github.

- OraNumber#has_decimal_part? -> boolean

OraNumber(10).has_decimal_part? # => false
OraNumber(10.1).has_decimal_part? # => true

- Limitted support for OraNumber's positive and negative infinity.

They are converted to '~' and '-~' respectively as described in
<URL:http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/infinity.htm>.

- OCI8.properties is added to control ruby-oci8 behaviour.
It supports :bind_string_as_nchar only for now.

- OCI8.properties[:bind_string_as_nchar] is added.

You need to set "OCI8.properties[:bind_string_as_nchar] = true"
if the database character set is not UTF-8 and NCHAR/NVARCHAR2 columns
contain characters which cannot be converted to the database character set.

- Raise "OCIError: ORA-01805: possible error in date/time operation"
when Oracle 11gR2's client and server timezone versions are not same
instead of raising a exception "undefined method `*' for nil:NilClass."
See: http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=49102&forum_id=1078

- Fix unexpectedly disconnect when failed-logon connections is GC'ed
and the connection object's address is accidentally same with
an alive connection.

closed statement object's (reported by Hugo L. Borges)

Its encoding had been convertd to OCI.encoding incorrectly.

(reported by Raimonds Simanovskis)

conflicts with that of latest cygwin.
(reported by Don Hill).

- Fix to complie for the 32-bit ruby which was compiled on x86_64 linux
and configured without '--build', '--host' nor '--target'.
The RUBY_PLATFORM is 'x86_64-linux' even though the ruby is 32-bit.
(reported by Jason Renschler)

- Fix wrong dependencies in Makefile when running 'make -jNNN (where
NNN >= 2)'
