Changelog for Msql-Mysql-DBI-perl-bin-1.1823-1.i386.rpm :

* Fri Jan 02 1998 Antoni Pamies Olive - Change infodir to /usr/info- Give error message if client C functions are called in wrong order.- Added automatic reconnect to the libmysql.c library. If a write command fails a automatic reconnect is done.- Small sort sets doesn\'t use temporary files anymore.- Upgraded DBI to 0.91- Fixed a couple of problems with LEFT OUTER JOIN.- Added CROSS JOIN syntax. CROSS is now a reserved word.- Recoded yacc/bison stack allocation to be even safer and allow MySQL to handle even bigger expressions.- Fixed a couple of problems with the update log.- ORDER BY was slow when used with key ranges.
* Mon Dec 22 1997 Antoni Pamies Olive - update to mysql 3.21.17a beta- Changed documentation string of -with-unix-socket-path to avoid confusion.- Added ODBC and ANSI SQL style `LEFT OUTER JOIN\'.- The following are new reserved words: `LEFT\', `NATURAL\', `USING\'- The client library is now using the environment variable `MYSQL_HOST\' as the default host if it\'s defined.- `SELECT column, SUM(expr)\' now returns `NULL\' for column when there is no matching rows.- Fixed problem with compare of binary strings and blobs with ASCII characters over 127.- Fixed lock problem: When freeing a read lock on a table with multiple read locks, a thread waiting for write lock would have given the lock. This shouldn\'t affect data integrity, but could possible make mysqld to restart if one thread was reading data that another thread modified.- LIMIT offset,count didn\'t work in INSERT ... SELECT.- optimized key block caching. This will be quicker than the old one when using bigger key caches.
