Dear DBD::mysql users and developers,

I'm pleased to announce the release of DBD::mysql 4.003! This release
contains various fixes including:

* Fix re-exec of Makefile.PL when forcing $ENV{LANG} to 'C'. (RT #25233,
reported by Slaven Rezic)
* Rewrote table_info method to support all arguments (previously it
would only ever return all of the tables in the current database, no
matter what was specified)
* Fixed $DBD::mysql::VERSION to be a string instead of a float, which
caused problems for certain locales
* Fixed bug #23974. $dbh->column_info now returns a statement handle
with no rows.  Much thanks to Tim Bunce for help fixing the problem in
mysql.pm vs. dbdimp.c
* Removed #ifdefs for do error (sqlstate being passed as last arg
depending on version)
* Fixed insertid test to work with auto_increment_increment replication
setup.
* Patch from Tim Bunce fixing do() not set $dbh->{Statement} attribute,
which prevented DBD::Profile from giving correct results for calls to
do() and causing ShowErrorStatement to possibly report the wrong
statement in the error message
* Patch from Tim Bunce clearing out the sth attribute cache when
switching between result, sets which prevented the adjustedment of
NUM_OF_FIELDS
* Cleanup of several unused variables
* Added support for wildcards in last argument of column_info().
* Add mysql_is_auto_increment to results of column_info(). (Bug #26603,
original patch from Dave Rolsky)
* Return the correct table type for both tables and views from the
table_info() method. (Bug #26603, original patch from Dave Rolsky)
* Add implementation of foreign_key_info() (Bug #26604, original patch
from Dave Rolsky, and final implementation based on Connector/J code)

Note: you may notice that the version went from 4.001 to 4.003. That's
because there was an issue with the 4.002 distribution file that needed
to be fixed, and CPAN doesn't allow uploading the same version file
twice, hence the version was bumped.

This release was possible due to the efforts of:

Jim Winstead
Tim Bunce
Dave Rolsky

Thanks for bug reporting from

Slaven Rezic RT #25233
Allard Hoeve and others alerting me to problems with version being
changed from a string, which caused local issues for those who use ','
instead of '.' for decimal.

And anyone else I forgot to mention. Thank you for reporting bugs and
sending patches!

Also, thank you for using DBD::mysql!

Kind regards,

Patrick Galbraith
