Fixed bug #36681 (pdo_pgsql driver incorrectly ignored some errors).
Fixed test for bug #38253 not to use faulty SQL that generates errors in
PostgreSQL
Postgres client API is pretty poor, so we have zero idea about the actual
parameter types in a statement.
We now defer the preparation of a statement until the first call to execute is
made. At that point, we have the parameters defined by the calling script, so
we can use the typing specified there when we perform the prepare.
For PDO_PARAM_LOB parameters, we set the binary formatting flag.
We can't just set this flag for all parameters, because its meaning is not
"string data, counted length" but "data is in native format". If this flag is
set for a numeric column and we send the number 1 formatted as a string, then
we will get an "insufficient data left in message" error message, because the
library was expecting sizeof(int4) bytes but only saw 1 byte for "1".
This is infuriating because we have no way to determine the datatypes for
parameters, and the type we explicitly set has to match the type in the
database. The only choice we're left with is telling postgres to deduce the
type; we still have no idea what type was deduced.
to true, forces the driver to use PDO's own emulated prepared statement
support.
Why would you want that, considering that native prepared statements are
supposed to be the best thing ever?
"Often postgresql will have to plan the query without knowing the parameters -
and it will choose a bad plan. In some cases it will plan based on the first
parameters you send. "
Ugh. So now we have a way to let you decide that you know better than the
pgsql query planner.
Note that some tests now fail; if we can't resolve this in time for the beta,
the prepare code should be disabled (I'll add a flag for this later today).
Changed PDO::lastInsertId() to have following proto:
string PDO::lastInsertId([string name])
this allows arbitrary unique identitifers to be returned from the driver.
The optional name parameter is for databases that require additional contextual
information to be able to return the correct identifier. None currently use
it, but pgsql will be on the list of drivers that do.
If paramater is bound with type PDO_PARAM_LOB the quoter function
gets a hint that specific LOB type quoting should be used:
$stmt->bindParam(":lob", $lob, PDO_PARAM_LOB);
