Ingres PHP support for HP OpenVMS CSWS 2.0

Grant Croker — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:22:10 +0000

For those of you who are interested in running PHP on OpenVMS with Ingres, I have published a pre-built binary to
http://esd.ingres.com/product/drivers/PHP/HP_OpenVMS_Alpha/PHP_Driver. Installation instructions are available via http://bit.ly/InstallPHPIngresOpenVMS or in the README.VMS file contained within the download. The supplied PHP_INGRES.EXE has been built against Ingres 9.2.0 (axm.vms/143). If you want this extension for a different version of Ingres drop me a mail via grantc@php.net.

PHP Ingres 2.2.1 released

Grant Croker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:40:57 +0000

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, 2.2.1. If you build the driver from source you can get the updated code from http://pecl.php.net/get/ingres. Windows users can download the php_ingres.dll from http://esd.ingres.com/product/drivers/PHP/Windows_32-Bit/PHP_Driver/. The Windows download includes the DLLs for PHP 5.3.0, released earlier today.

PHP 5.3.0 released

Grant Croker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:28:40 +0000

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.

PHP Ingres 2.1.0 released

Grant Croker — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:57:56 +0000

Another month … (this is getting to be a habit):

This update is implements several bits of new functionality as can seen from the CHANGELOG

Add ingres.fetch_buffer_size to configure to the number of rows ingres_query() will fetch.

Add ingres_charset() to fetch the installation II_CHARSETxx value

Add ingres.describe ini setting to allow disabling of DESCRIBE INPUT if desired

Add support for DESCRIBE INPUT

Add ingres_escape_string()

Add ingres_result_seek() to support row positioning

More Christmas presents…. PHP driver 2.0.1 released

Grant Croker — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:24:00 +0000

Along with the release of Christmas edition of the Ingres database workbench a new version of the Ingres PHP driver has been posted.

2.0.1 is major/minor release in as much as it is just a bunch of bug fixes but includes some important changes. From the CHANGELOG here are what I believe are the two most notable updates:

Improved performance by batch fetching rows – the ingres_fetch_*() functions will now retrieve upto 100 rows from the server, reducing the network traffic required to fetch those same 100 rows, one at a time. Whether the DBMS engine provides 100 rows is another matter as this is dependant upon the width of the row and the ability to make good use of the GCA packet. Performance improvements of between 2 and 30 times have been observed. YMMV…
Improved interoperability when working with older Ingres releases – some time in the past interoperability between versions of Ingres broke when using the PHP driver. Driver functionality is based on the Ingres release against which it is built. For example Ingres 9.2.0 introduced bi-directional scrollable cursor support. When the driver was build against 9.2.0 but connected to an earlier release of Ingres it did not know that the DBMS engine could not provide that feature. The driver is now “aware” of the capabilities of the server to which it is connected and will only use features supported in that engine.

And now for some links:

README.html – http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/ingres/README.html?view=co&pathrev=RELEASE_2_0_1
Source code – http://pecl.ingres.net/get/ingres
Windows DLLs – Since http://pecl4win.php.net is no longer being updated, I have made available DLLs for PHP 5.1.6, 5.2.6 and 5.2.8 for Ingres 2.6/0305, 9.0.4, 9.1.1, 9.2.0 and 9.3.0 at http://esd.ingres.com/product/drivers/PHP/Windows_32-Bit/PHP_Driver

As always if you experience any problems with the driver you can email me via grant @ php dot net, or raise and issue via Servicedesk.

Feliz Navidad a todos

A PHP Ingres update

Grant Croker — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:33:52 +0000

Its been a long time coming but I have finally released to cvs.php.net a major revision of the PECL Ingres code. So major that I have had to break backwards compatibility to implement the ability to have multiple active result-sets. Since I promised Andy Grimm I would write a piece on the new driver for the company blog site http://blogs.ingres.com/tech I will not be providing much info here, at least not just yet. However, to whet your appetite, here are the changes made since the last release:

Added support for multiple concurrent result-sets
Added automatic coercion between UTF-8 and UTF-16
Added support for Bi-directional scrolling cursors
Added ingres_free_results() – free the memory associated with a given result set
Added ingres_autocommit_state() – return the current auto-commit state
Added ingres_next_error() – fetch additional errors if any

If you are feeling brave you can grab the code from cvs.php.net:

cvs co -d somedir pecl/ingres

If you want to run it along side an existing pecl ingres install I would recommend you use the following (ahem, undocumented) configure flag:

./configure --enable-ingres2

Documentation will follow, first with an overhaul of the README(.html) as well as the information on http://php.net/ingres.

PHP : ingres-1.4.3 released

Grant Croker — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:14:40 +0000

I have released another update to the PHP Ingres interface – version 1.4.3 contains a single fix for a timing issue with multi-threaded webservers during the termination of a page request. I would suggest you get the latest code from pecl.php.net. Windows users can get the latest php_ingres.dll from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_ingres.dll.

If you are running with Apache worker or Apache WinNT web servers or Microsoft IIS it is strongly recommended you get this update.

PHP : ingres-1.4.2 released

Grant Croker — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:28:37 +0000

Today I have released version 1.4.2 of the Ingres PECL extension. Mainly another bug fix release however I have reduced the memory footprint of blob operations and made some improvements with respect to UNICODE handing. In addition I supply a sample configuration file, ingres.ini, that has all the php.ini settings. You can either copy and paste these entries in to your php.ini or if your installation has been built with ini directory searching the file can be placed there. As always you can view the full CHANGELOG.
