- New DSN support. This means you can connect using:

   $dsn =
"$driver://$user:$pwd@$host/$database?$opt1=$val1&$opt2=$val2";
   $db = NewADOConnection($dsn);
   # no $db->Connect( ) required.

For more info, see:

- Updated to new version of adodb-xmlschema.

- Many improvements to mysql, mssql, oci8, postgresql, db2 drivers.

- Fixes to GetUpdateSQL() for ADODB_FORCE_NULLS problems,  and "order by"
is now ignored in SQL.

- PHP5 compatability fixes: M'soft ADO variant dates work now.

- Lastly, a warning: PHP 5.0.0's oci8 support is not stable. Let's hope
5.0.1 is better.


Changes:
4.51 29 July 2004

Added adodb-xmlschema 1.0.2. Thx dan and richard.

Added new adorecordset_ext_* classes. If ADOdb extension installed for
mysql, mysqlt and oci8 (but not oci8po), we use the superfast ADOdb
extension code for movenext.

Added schema support to mssql and odbc_mssql MetaPrimaryKeys().

Patched MSSQL driver to support PHP NULL and Boolean values while binding
the input array parameters in the _query() function. By Stephen Farmer.

Added support for clob's for mssql, UpdateBlob(). Thx to gfran#directa.com.br

Added normalize support for postgresql (true=lowercase table name, or
false=case-sensitive table names) to MetaColumns($table, $normalize=true).

PHP5 variant dates in ADO not working. Fixed in adodb-ado.inc.php.

Constant ADODB_FORCE_NULLS was not working properly for many releases (for
GetUpdateSQL). Fixed. Also GetUpdateSQL strips off ORDER BY now - thx
Elieser Leão.

Perf Monitor for oci8 now dynamically highlights optimizer_* params if too
high/low.

Added dsn support to NewADOConnection/ADONewConnection.

Fixed out of page bounds bug in _adodb_pageexecute_all_rows() Thx to
"Sergio Strampelli" sergio#rir.it

Speedup of movenext for mysql and oci8 drivers.

Moved debugging code _adodb_debug_execute() to adodb-lib.inc.php.
