Version 4.2 (release) 2013-02-14 14:00 - Readded MySQL(Logger, String, String, String, String, String String) as a deprecated constructor. - Fixed improper usage of database delegates and added usage of FilenameDatabase. - Expanded FilenameDatabase to support custom extensions, and subsequently SQLite and H2. - Deleted SQLTestSuite for being extremely outdated and no longer useful as an educational tool. - TimeClock will be the official SQLibrary example plugin when it is finished. Version 4.1 (release) - In 4.0, MySQL(Logger, String, String, String, String, String, String) was changed to MySQL(Logger, String, String, int, String, String, String). - In 4.0, SQLite(Logger logger, String name, String location) was changed to SQLite(Logger logger, String directory, String filename). - In 4.0, wipeTable() was changed to truncate(). - In 4.0, checkTable() was changed to isTable(). - In 4.0, createTable(), checkTable(), and wipeTable() were deprecated. - checkConnection() is no longer a pointless null check. - checkConnection() changed to isOpen() and isOpen(int timeout). - checkConnection() is now deprecated. - isTable() in SQLite restored to previous algorithm - was always returning true (PatPeter#4). - insert() added to Database that returns an ArrayList<Long> of generated keys (PatPeter#5). - Removed Ovrimos - no JDBC connector available. - Laid groundwork for downloading and installing JDBC connectors for all supported DBMS. Version 4.0 (release) - Added support for 13 more DBMSs: Firebird, FrontBase, DB2, H2, Informix, Ingres, MaxDB, MicrosoftSQL, Mongo, mSQL, Oracle, Ovrimos, and PostgreSQL. - query() method optimization. - query() will no longer return null. Instead, it will return a ResultSet containing the number of changes by statements that do not return a ResultSet. - query() compatibility with PreparedStatements and Builders added. - Database and DatabaseConfig no longer use separate enumerations to represent the supported databases. - Encapsulation of StatementEnums for each Database. - Finished Statements enumeration for MySQL, SQLite, H2, MicrosoftSQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. - getStatement() is now public. - Added many null and empty String checks as (Runtime) DatabaseExceptions. - Deprecation and renaming of several methods. - Database objects now use delegates to provide get methods, but have remained immutable with private set methods. - Addition of a functional SELECT statement builder for MySQL. Version 3.5 (release) 2012-09-09 17:30 - Implemented initialize() and open() for every database driver except H2. - Added internal variable driver for Builder checks. - Created a package for the Factory classes and a package for the query Builders. - Renamed MySQLTable to simply Table. - Added classes Select, Insert, and Update. - Database abstract methods are now public for better usage in multi-database plugins. - open() now returns a boolean instead of a Connection. Use getConnection() if necessary. 2012-10-11 03:10 - Added query(PreparedStatement ps) as an abstract function so that the query() shortcuts and validation can be used with PreparedStatements. - Made getStatement() an abstract function so that it is no longer breaks the rules of inheritance. - Since open() now returns a boolean for error checking, there is no point in using SQLException. - Moved Statements to each child class. - Created SQLStatement interface to enforce getStatement() in child classes. Version 3.1 (release) 2012-09-09 03:30 - Added support for every statement in MySQL and SQLite into their respective query() methods. - All boolean methods return false on fail, all other methods throw exceptions so that plugin authors can check for errors. - Moved close(), getConnection(), checkConnection(), and prepare() into Database.java. - Actually implemented the prefix() method. - 2012-09-09 15:30 - Released 3.1.
