Licensing
* Re-licensing OCILIB to Apache License Version 2.0 instead of LGPL 2.1: this is merely for overcoming the static linkage issue of the LGPL V2.1
Fixes:
* C++ API: Fixed memory leak caused by Statement::Bind() with non scalar types when Connection objects are closed before their child Statement objects get out of scope
* C++ API: Fixed minor compilation warnings
* C API: Compilation was broken when targeting Oracle 8i
* C API: PL/SQL statements starting with keyword "CALL" where not identified as PL/SQL commands and thus output bind buffers were not updated accordingly
* C API: OCI_Execute() ignored custom fetch and prefetch values with Oracle clients >= 9.2
* C API: OCI_ElemSetString() caused memory retention when dealing repetitively with string attributes
* C API: OCI_Cleanup() leaked of few bytes
* C API: OCI_BindLob() caused access violation when binding CLOB/BLOB to PL/SQL OUT parameters using OCI_BDM_OUT bind direction mode
* C API: OCI_DirPathSetEntry() may passed Wrong SQL type passed to OCI_NumberFromString() for some numeric columns
* C API: OCI_GetLastError() wWas not reporting errors/warnings after the following calls: OCI_FetchPrev(), OCI_FetchNext(), OCI_FetchFirst() and OCI_FetchLast()
* C API: OCI_MemRealloc() may manipulate dandling pointers
* C API: Fixed some usage of OCI_BIND_CALL() macro
* C API: OCI_ObjectGettring(): When the attribute type was not a string, the application error handler
was called with error code OCI_ERR_ATTR_NOT_FOUND and then the method was converting the attribute to a string without problem as expected.
Changes
* Added "Environment Variables" section in the C API documentation
* C++ API: Added silent parameter to Date::Date()
* C API: Fetch and Prefetch values are not reset any more to default values when statement is re-prepared
* C API: Added support for specific environment variables: Now specific documented environment variables can be set for activating
experimental or optional behaviours mostly for implementing workaround for Oracle Bugs.
* C API: Added experimental workaround for unsolved Oracle OCI bug #9838993 using the environment variable "OCILIB_WORKAROUND_UTF16_COLUMN_NAME"
