DBI upgrade and binary compatibility

DBI upgrade and binary compatibility

am 04.09.2007 23:23:49 von ianburrell

Is DBI backward compatible with DBD drivers built against older
versions of DBI? We are finally upgrading DBI from 1.38 to 1.54. We
are going to upgrade DBD::Pg to the newest version but it will happen
separately and I want to make sure nothing breaks until then. Do we
need to rebuild DBD::Oracle (it is the latest version)?

Check the Changes file. (Including beyond 1.54 to see any problems in 1.54.)
