803295 - Bump minimum version of DBI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, enhancement)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

We currently require DBI 1.41. But:

1.43:

  Fixed last_insert_id(...)

1.44:

  Changed execute_array() to return "0E0" for 0 as per the docs.
  Changed execute_for_fetch() definition, and default implementation,
    to return "0E0" for 0 like execute() and execute_array().

1.45:

  Fixed "Free to wrong pool"/"Attempt to free unreferenced scalar" in FETCH.

1.50:

  Fixed handle magic order to keep DBD::Oracle happy.

1.52:

  Fixed for perl 5.9.4. Users of Perl >= 5.9.4 will require DBI >= 1.52.

1.54:

  Fixed to work for bleadperl (r29544).
    Users of Perl >= 5.9.5 will require DBI >= 1.54.


So DBD::Oracle requires DBI 1.50 to work, and Perl 5.9.5 and newer require DBI 1.54.

For trunk, we must then require DBI 1.54, as we require Perl 5.10.1 or newer. For 4.4, it would be enough to require 1.50 only (for DBD::Oracle), but more and more installations run Perl 5.10.1 or newer. 1.54 has been released in February 2007, and so I see no reason to not require it for 4.4 too.
