what's next in version 1.65

Hello,

I hope you enjoy the version 1.64.

Fot the next version there will be a parameter for script execution with echo command redirected to the template.

There also will be more database support in native:
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL,
- Sybase
and the special PHP class ADOdb (wich is an ambigious name because TinyButStrong already supports ADODB).

Any suggestion is welcome.

Hi,
Many thanks for your powerful tool. But beware of growing too much to become slow.
Would it be possible to move the different database definition and accessing codes into separate inclusion files, so that you only include the one you need? I mean, is it possible to make tbs-class shorter  this way? Different databases are coming, so tbs is growing...

Yes you're right. And that's true for other features too.

First I should say that suporting a new database type is not so expensive. One database type = 3 lines of code (open/fetch/close).
And the type is checked only once per MergeBlock() call, wich is not called much times for one HTML page.

But anyway I think there won't be dozen of database type supported by TinyButStrong. Only famouse ones.
I had a small survey on a PHP developper forum and it appeard that Oracle, PostgreSQL and Sybase are very famouse database type with PHP too ; after MySQL and SQL-Server.

Thanks for your previous answer, Skrol 29!
- For next version of the documents, could you place the URL of your site also in writing. Links don't help, if you only have the printed documentation to look in.
- And for printing on b/w printers the colours of the code-portions (white on grey) here on the forum are barely visible...
Nice work this forum! And the code is a good place to learn.
