|
+
* Easier to install
|

5
|
+
* BigDecimal accepted for input parameters
|
|
6
|
+
* BigDecimal used for instantiating DECIMAL and MONEY values
|
|
7
|
+
* Cursor, Statement, Slob and Database accept an optional block that
|
|

+
automatically frees resources after execution.

Based on ideas and pseudo-code by

|
|

|
+
* Database#slob shortcut for creating Slob objects.
|
|
12
|
+
* Slob::Stat class implemented. Returned by Slob#stat, represents the
|
|
13
|
+
SLOB status. Methods: atime, ctime, mtime, refcnt and size. Includes
|
|
14

Comparable.

is used instead.

* If there was an error reading (ifx_lo_read) an SLOB, memory

allocated for the read buffer was not freed. Noticed by

* maxbytes option was ignored when creating an Slob object

is RDWR.
