Whilst it’s been labelled as a minor update there have been 15 fixes/additions to the driver: – Update the unit tests to be more independent – Add support for the Ingres BOOLEAN type – Add ingres_fetch_assoc() [...]

Here is a simple guide on the setup steps needed to allow the Ingres PHP, Python and Ruby drivers to work with Apache on RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and Fedora Linux.

For those who don’t know, Maven is a dependency management and project lifecycle tool for Java projects. The hosting of the Ingres JDBC driver in the central repository raises the profile of the Ingres Database and should [...]
The last release of the PHP driver introduced a regression where by the “EXECUTE PROCEDURE” or “CALL” SQL statements would fail to execute (PECL bug 16688). The bug slipped through the net due to missing tests for database procedures. This oversight has now been resolved and the fix has been rolled into a new release, [...]
Just a quick note to say that PHP 5.3.0 has been released. DLLs for PHP 5.3.0 and Ingres are in the process of being built and should be up on http://esd.ingres.com within the next 24 hours.
