CDBI::AbstractSearch 'range' method

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/24]

hello list

CDBI::AbstractSearch has an undocumented attribute method 'range' that
invoked the (also undocumented) _range() method in SQL::Abstract.  
however, the _range() method was removed from SQL::Abstract somewhere
between versions 1.15 and 1.17.

i noticed this today and have downgraded SQL::Abstract on my production
machines.  there seems to be nothing in the SQL::Abstract changelog
indicating why this was done.  any ideas?  is it gone for good?

if it is gone for good, perhaps the 'range' attribute method should also 
be removed from CDBI::AbstractSearch?  having it in there doesn't seem to 
hurt, since the 'range' part of the hashref is ignored when passed off to 
SQL::Abstract's where() method.

thanks, paul
