Data-Admin / News: Recent posts

We have submitted a request for a new project page for Datalib. Since Data Admin has not seen the light of day in over four years, we figure Datalib should have its own page. Data Admin might still come to be realized in the future, however. The requested unix name of the new project is "phpdatalib"

Yes folks, it's here. Go download it :)

Interbase support, new coding changes to adhere to the new coding standards. phpDoc documentation. This release needs some testing with all the database types (especially Sybase and Postgres). If you find any bugs, please report them with the bug tracker :)

Welp, I added PGSQL support last night and it seems to be working fine so far :)

Next order of business: Interbase and PHP3 compatibility. Minor: Cleaning up format of code.

Well, the next release will have PostgreSQL support - still in the works. I will also be cleaning up the source code some and adding more helpfull error messages. As well, I will be working out a way to update across all tables that you used in the select query - that will be fun lol :)
I would work on it now while at work, but Sourceforge's *cough* download server appears b0rked. Bleh

Yes folks, I finally got my new site up! http://www.databound-software.com

includes preliminary Oracle(v8.0+) support. It has not been fully tested and might not work as expected. I don't recommend using on a production database until you have tested on a development server first :)

I changed the license of Data-Lib (and Data-Admin when it's done) to LGPL from GPL. This will allow it to be used in closed source/commerical as well as open source projects.
Why? Well, if someone wants to use my code to make money, then that's fine by me. I am no open source or free software zealot. If all software were opensource and/or free, I would be out of a job :o
If you have any concerns or issues with this, please feel free to contact me.

More of a maintenance release, I wanted to get this out because this is what the manual refers to :)

I added a couple methods to the recordset objects, and changed the initialization functions some.

Now with Sybase support! Oracle support is next, with Interbase and Postgress to follow. As well, DBA support might be added (maybe).

Now includes full support for MySQL!!

read the changelog and readme.txt for more details

Don't let the low version number fool you! You can now fully navigate, update and insert records on an ODBC database. I am 99% done with ODBC, next will be MySQL, Oracle, Sybase and MS SQL Server. These should be completed rather quickly.

Go ahead and download the latest version and give it a shot! I would appreciate any feedback you can give me (good or bad!!)

Thanks!

I started work on the recordset code finally =)
As well, I need some input on how I should deal with the recordsets. Currently, I am using the native result set returned by the database. I am considering loading all this data into an array (two diminsional) so that I won't have any problems flipping forward or backwards. Any thoughts on this?

Welcome to my little project! I have been contemplating writing this for a while, and I had been putting off learning PHP. Well, now I have my excuse to learn, and I am enjoying every minute of it!
The latest library code will be up as soon as I can figure everything out on here =)
