 2008-12-14  KUBO Takehiro  <kubo@jiubao.org>
-	* lib/oci8.rb.in:
-	    1. fix to fetch a rowid column as s String.
-	    2. change the return type of OCI8::Cursor#rowid from OCIRowid
-	       to String. It is a local call on Oracle 9.0 or upper.
-	       But on Oracle 8.x client, it needs one network roundtrip
-	       to convert OCIRowid to String on server side.
-	    3. fix OCI8#describe_table to prevent OCIStillExecuting when
-	       non-blocking mode is enabled and it needs a time to
-	       retrieve table information.
-	* ext/oci8/extconf.rb, ext/oci8/oci8.c: add OCIRowid#to_s
-	    when OCIRowidToChar() is available.

+	    is not specified to set bind objects of timestamp with time
+	    zone datatype.
+	* lib/oci8/datetime.rb: add OCI8::BindType::Util.default_timezone
+	    to get Time or DateTime objects from bind objects of date
+	    datatype.
+	* test/test_datetime.rb: fix test_datetype_duck_typing and add

+	* ext/oci8/bind.c, ext/oci8/stmt.c: disable DYNAMIC_FETCH to fetch
+	    LONG or LONG RAW columns. It doesn't work well.
+	* lib/oci8/metadata.rb: define char_size for Oracle 8i.
+	* lib/oci8/oci8.rb: define OCI8::BindType::Long and
+	    OCI8::BindType::LongRaw as subclasses of OCI8::BindType::String
+	    and OCI8::BindType::RAW respectively. fix
+	    OCI8::BindType::String.create and OCI8::BindType::RAW.create
+	    for strings longer than 4000.
+	* test/test_array_dml.rb: add workaround of "ORA-01036: illegal
+	    variable name/number" by renaming a bind variable name ":N"
+	    to ":1". I guess this is a problem in the Oracle library.
+	* test/test_break.rb, test/test_dbi.rb, test/test_metadata.rb:
+	    fix test codes for Oracle 8i or lower.
+	* test/test_oci8.rb: revise a test for LONG columns.
+
+2008-08-28  KUBO Takehiro  <kubo@jiubao.org>
+	* ext/oci8/apiwrap.yml: OCINumberSign is unavailable on Oracle 8.
+	* lib/DBD/OCI8/OCI8.rb: A data dictionary all_constraints doesn't have
+	    index_name column on Oracle 8i or lower. Rewrite
+	    DBI::DBD::OCI8::Database#column by using all_cons_columns.
+	* lib/oci8/metadata.rb: raise an error when using 
+	* test/config.rb: Oracle 8 desn't have database_compatible_level data
+	    dictionary.
+	* test/test_metadata.rb: fix test codes for Oracle 8i or lower.

+	* ext/oci8/metadata.c: fix bugs when trying to use already freed
+	    OCI8::Metadata::*.
+	* ext/oci8/ocidatetime.c: fix OCI8::BindType::OCIDate#set().
+	* ext/oci8/ocinumber.c: undef OraNumber#round_prec and OraNumber
+	    #shift when using Oracle 8.0.
+	* lib/oci8/datetime.rb, lib/oci8/metadata.rb: fix bugs when using
+	    Oracle 8.0.
+	* test/config.rb, test/test_dbi.rb, test/test_metadata.rb,
+	  test/test_oci8.rb, test/test_oranumber.rb: do same with the
+	    previous commit.
+	* test/test_datetime.rb: disable some test cases when Oracle 8.1
+	    or lower.
+	* test/test_dbi_clob.rb: fix when testing in a deep directory.

+	    For example Oracle 9.1.0's version number was represented as 910
+	    in ruby-oci8. Now it is 0x09000000. This format is same with
+	    that of the last argument of OCIServerRelease().

 	    1. Oracle client version is 10.2.0.4 or 11.1.0.6.
 	       (It doesn't depend on Oracle server version.)
 	    2. The character set is a variable-length one (e.g. AL32UTF8).
-	    (This probmem was reported by Efren Yevale and Thomas Witt and
-	     fixed with Thomas Witt's help.)
+	* dist-files: add lib/oci8/datetime.rb and .document files.

-	* ext/oci8/lob.c: fix OCILobLocator#getLength for a lob over 1GB,
-	    which affect OCI8::LOB#size and OCI8::LOB#read. fix
-	    OCILobLocator#read and OCILobLocator#write to set offset over 2GB,
-	    which affect OCI8::LOB#read and OCI8::LOB#write.
-	    (This probmem was reported by Jonathan Hadders.)
+	* ext/oci8/lob.c: fix OCI8::LOB#size= when using a lob over 2GB.

+
+2008-08-04  KUBO Takehiro  <kubo@jiubao.org>
+	* ext/oci8/attr.c: If ORA-01000 (maximum open cursors exceeded) when
+	    converting a rowid descriptor to string representation, run
+	    GC to cleanup unreferenced statement handles and try again.
+	* ext/oci8/oci8.h, ext/oci8/oci8lib.c: add a utility function
+	    oci8_exec_sql() to execute a SQL statement in C.
+	* ext/oci8/encoding.c: use oci8_exec_sql() to run anonymous PL/SQL
+	    blocks in oci8_charset_id2name() and oci8_charset_name2id().

+	  ext/oci8/ocinumber.c: suppress compiler warnings.
+	* ext/oci8/oci8.c: avoid "[BUG] object allocation during garbage
+	    collection phase" when using ruby 1.9. In GC, just free a
+	    session handle without rollback.
+
+2008-08-02  KUBO Takehiro  <kubo@jiubao.org>
+	* ext/oci8/oci8.h, ext/oci8/ocidatetime.c, lib/oci8.rb.in,
+	  lib/oci8/datetime.rb: change binding code for timestamps
+	    and intervals. C side is a thin wrapper which converts Oracle's
+	    date, timestamp and interval values to ruby arrays and vise
+	    versa. Ruby side converts the arrays to ruby's Time, DateTime,
+	    Integer (for interval year to month) and Rational (for interval
+	    day to second).
+	* lib/oci8/oci8.rb: change mapping for binding date, timestamp and
+	    timestamp with local time zone from OCI8::BindType::DateTime
+	    to OCI8::BindType::Time.
+	* test/test_array_dml.rb, test/test_datetime.rb, test/test_dbi.rb,

+	    it uses PL/SQL function nls_charset_name() and converts
+	    at the server side.
+	* ext/oci8/metadata.c: use oci8_charset_id2name() instead of
+	    OCINlsCharSetIdToName().

+2008-03-29  KUBO Takehiro  <kubo@jiubao.org>
+	* ext/oci8/extconf.rb, ext/oci8/oci8lib.c, ext/oci8/oci8.h:
+	    When '--with-runtime-check' is passed to extconf.rb, oci8lib.so
+	    is no longer linked to an Oracle client library at compilation
+	    time. It tries to search the Oracle client library at runtime.
+	* ext/oci8/bind.c: define OCI8::BindType::BinaryDouble when
+	    oracle_client_version's value is 10g or later, not when SQLT_BDOUBLE

+2008-2-27 Liming Lian <liming.lian@oracle.com>
+	Add new feature: Array DML
+	* lib/oci8/oci8.rb:  add three new methods for Array DML to OCI8::Cursor: 
+	    max_array_size=, bind_param_array and exec_array
+	    1) OCI8::Cursor#max_array_size=: set the maximum array size for OCI8::Cursor#bind_param_array. 
+	    This method should be called before OCI8::Cursor#bind_param_array
+	    2) OCI8::Cursor#bind_param_array: bind array explicitly. This method is used to bind an array of 
+	    values to a placeholder embedded in the prepared statement which is to be executed with 
+	    OCI8::Cursor#exec_array
+	    3) OCI8::Cursor#exec_array: executes the SQL statement assigned the cursor with array bindings. 
+	    This implementation currently only supports non-data returning statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE 
+	    but not SELECT). All binding arrays should be the same size and this size will be used as iteration 
+	    count for OCIStmtExecute()
+	* ext/oci8/stmt.c: add support for Array DML
+	    1) Change the parameters for invoking OCIBindByPos and OCIBindByName because 
+	    currently we only support Array DML for non-PL/SQL binds.
+	    2) Add a new parameter "Value iteration_count" to function oci8_stmt_execute. 
+	    This parameter indicates iteration count for OCIStmtExecute. For Non-Array DML, 
+	    you should set this parameter "nil"
+	    3) Add three new functions: each_value, clear_binds_iterator_proc, oci8_stmt_clear_binds. 
+	    Those functions are used to clear all binds from OCI8::Cursor. When calling OCI8::Cursor#max_array_size, 
+	    all the binds will be clean from cursor if instance variable max_array_size of cursor is set before.
+	* test/test_array_dml.rb(added): add test cases for Array DML
+	* test/test_all.rb: call test cases for Array DML
