Changes for version 0.50
- 97-01-12: Version bumped to 0.50p1, for consistency with documented intentions when 0.25 release was made. 97-01-23: Fix InformixTest.pm so it works with perldoc. It seems that perldoc does not like lines which start with a single quote. Thanks to Jason Bodnar (jcbodnar@mail.utexas.edu) for pointing this problem out. Add and use stmt_err to report errors or warnings, and document it. 97-02-13: Version 0.50 released. Handle null database names on connect so that CREATE DATABASE, etc, can be used. ESQL/C 5.0x has to handle this by doing nothing (successfully) in dbd_ix_database(), but the disconnect code needs to know that there is no database so it doesn't try to close the current database. This requires interface changes for dbd_ix_database() and dbd_ix_connect(). Add testing. Thanks to Serge Davidov (serge@fcmc.com) for finding the problem. You can also use DBI->connect('@server','','','Informix'), which actually worked in v0.25. DBD::Informix is still confused, in general, by statements such as CLOSE DATABASE.
