+ - Added Interbase/Firebird database support via the "interbase" driver
+ - Added an optional database name parameter to db_select().
+ - Replaced the _error_message() and _error_number() methods with error(), that returns an array containing the last database error code and message.
+ - Improved version() implementation so that drivers that have a native function to get the version number don't have to be defined in the core DB_driver class.
+ - Improved support of the PostgreSQL driver, including:
+ - pg_version() is now used to get the database version number, when possible.
+ - Added db_set_charset() support.
+ - Added _optimize_table() support for the :doc:`Database Utility Class <database/utilities>` (rebuilds table indexes).
+ - Added a constructor to the DB_result class and moved all driver-specific properties and logic out of the base DB_driver class to allow better abstraction.
- Improved support of the Oracle (OCI8) driver, including:
- Added DSN string support (Easy Connect and TNS).
- - Added support for dropping tables to :doc:`Database Forge <database/forge>`.
- - Added support for listing database schemas to :doc:`Database Utilities <database/utilities>`.
- - Generally improved for speed and cleaned up all of its components.
- - *Row* result methods now really only fetch only the needed number of rows, instead of depending entirely on result().
- - num_rows() is now only called explicitly by the developer and no longer re-executes statements.
