Database abstraction broken up into controller, connector, query builder, and schema manager, each independently configurable via YAML / Injector
Creation of new DBQueryGenerator for database specific generation of SQL
Support for parameterised queries, move of code base to use these over escaped conditions
Refactor of SQLQuery into separate query classes for each of INSERT UPDATE DELETE and SELECT
Support for PDO
Installation process upgraded to use new ORM
SS_DatabaseException created to handle database errors, maintaining details of raw sql and parameter details for user code designed interested in that data.
Renamed DB static methods to conform correctly to naming conventions (e.g. DB::getConn -> DB::get_conn)
3.2 upgrade docs
Performance Optimisation and simplification of code to use more concise API
API Ability for database adapters to register extensions to ConfigureFromEnv.php
Previously selectFromTable would simply try to select the composite field name. This expands the extraField name to include the children field names and uses CompositeDBField::writeToManipulation to generate the correct SQL for the queries.
This issue is caused by the odd default behaviour of Zend_Date, which attempts to parse yyyy-mm-dd format date and times as though they were yyyy-dd-mm.
API: CompositeDBField::setValue() may be passed an object as its second argument, in addition to array.
These changes provide a 15% - 20% performance improvement, and as such justify an small API change in the 3.0 branch. It will likely affect anyone who has created their own composite fields, which is fortunately not all that common.
This should allow custom meta tags to be saved in the admin panel.
Also, if you use html5 video or audio the source sub tag
would have been stripped two these are all the tags that may be empty
and are valid.
This means that you dont have to worry about casting it
as HTMLText again when using the result in a template or other context
However in some situations code might be assuming it can
check with is_string, in which case you now need to use instanceof HTMLText
This allows a developer to programatically access the size of the DB Varchar field. This allows us to be a bit more DRY and to define the size in one place and limit TextFields to the same value
