Release 2.11.0

Release 2.11.0

This release focuses on deprecating the functionality identified for removal in the next major release and adds a few improvements.

Changes in fetching data from prepared statements

The previous API was inherited from PDO and allowed to specify the fetch mode by passing ones of the FetchMode constants to the fetch*() methods of the Statement interface. Now, there is a dedicated method for each of the modes.

Added ASCII parameter binding

For those database platforms that support columns of the ASCII character set (currently, SQL Server), it is now possible to bind the corresponding prepared statement parameters using the ASCII parameter type and avoid unnecessary value conversion.

Note that PHP 7.3 is now the minimum supported PHP version.

Release v2.10.0

Release v2.10.0

This is a minor release of Doctrine DBAL that aggregates over 70 fixes and improvements developed by 25 contributors over the last year.

This release focuses on internal code quality improvement and deprecating the functionality identified for removal in the next major release.

Note that PHP 7.2 is now the minimum supported PHP version.

Backwards Compatibility Breaks

This release introduces a minor BC break. Default column values are no longer handled as SQL expressions. They are converted to SQL literals (e.g. escaped). The previous behavior was not portable and was never by design.

Clients must now specify default values in their initial form, not in the form of an SQL literal (e.g. escaped).

Before:

$column->setDefault('Foo\\\\Bar\\\\Baz');

After:

$column->setDefault('Foo\\Bar\\Baz');

Deprecations

• The usage of the getDatabasePlatform() method of the SchemaColumnDefinitionEventArgs class has been deprecated.
• The usage of the getHost(), getPort(), getUsername() and getPassword() methods of the Connection class has been deprecated.

Backwards Compatibility Breaks

This doesn't contain any intentional Backwards Compatibility (BC) breaks.

Deprecations

• The usage of NULL to specify the absence of an offset in LIMITed queries is deprecated. Use 0 instead.
• It's not recommended to rely on the default length specified by implementations of Type. These values are not used by the library and will be removed.
• It's not recommended to rely on the string representation of Type objects.
• Regular-expression based asset filters are deprecated in favor of callback-based as more extensible.
• Calling Statement::fetchColumn() with an invalid column index is deprecated.
• The dbal:import CLI command is deprecated. Please use other database client applications for import.

Please see details in the UPGRADE.md documentation.

New Features

• Added support for MariaDB 10.3.
• Added support for Windows authentication for SQL Server.
• Added support for column length in index definitions on MySQL.

Improvements and Fixes
