I love things that “just work”. Ubuntu distro is supposed to be one of those things. Some time ago, I tried to install it on an old laptop and ended up with LCD panel split in three screens (I’m not kidding) and mouse popping up all over the place. Then I tried Mepis and I […]
OK, forget about the step I mentioned before – it’s gone and we have true bulk instead. For the drivers/connectors that support it properly, that is. Namely, when one gets into implementation of more advanced features, some ODBC drivers simply do not live up to the expectations. I was not able to find PostgreSQL driver […]
The XML schema support library has reached a state where I can say: yep, it’s doing something useful. I gave it a test run with the MPEG-7 schema files (one of the larger schemas I know). More than 300 C++ header and source files are generated in less than a few seconds, all beautifully and […]
Since upgrading the Tiki software to the latest release (due to the security issue posted earlier), the wiki and forum registration is unfortunately broken, so registering a new user does not work. We are working on the issue with the Tiki developers and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, just reply to […]
A couple of new features supported by PocoData: multiple resultsets (for batches of statements and stored procedures/functions returning cursors) step – variable number of fetched rows Date and Time binding/extraction (in addition to DateTime) The step feature only works for connectors that support it (e.g. ODBC), otherwise it is silently ignored (e.g. SQLite). Date and […]
Today I finished the implementation of our XML schema parser. Just need to test it throughly and then I can start to implement a C++ code generator based on schema information. This should work flawlessly together with PocoRemoting 🙂 Generating code is so much more fun than writing it…
On November 1, someone hacked our Wiki. The result was that, whenever a link to the Wiki was clicked from a Google search result page, the browser would be redirected to some pr0n site. Thanks to Eric Hill and others for telling me about this. As a result of this, I have upgraded both the […]
The weblog has been quite silent lately, mostly for the reason that we have been quite busy with various projects (using POCO, of course). A few quick updates: Alex has done some significant improvements to the Data library (he has occasionally blogged here about it). I have made some performance improvements to the XML library […]
Two significant modifications to Poco::Data: 1) Due to the perils of std::vector<bool>, sdt::deque was promoted to the default RecordSet container 2) Asynchronous execution support: // execute asynchronous statement Statement stmt = (ses << “SELECT (age) FROM Person”, into(age), async, now); // … do something else Statement::ResultType rows = stmt.wait(); Code is in SVN. User Manual […]
The Data User Manual has been updated to reflect the recent changes in the Data library. Comments, opinions, flames … all welcome 😉
