Package: ruby-dbd-odbc
Version: 0.2.5+gem2deb-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
On Buster, which has Ruby >= 2.4, I see a warning from the first call of
execute() on an ODBC statement handle.
I can reproduce this simply with:
martind@neutrino:~$ ruby -e 'require "dbd/ODBC"; handle = nil; statement = nil;
param = 42; value = nil; attribs = nil; sth =
DBI::DBD::ODBC::Statement.new(handle, statement); sth.bind_param(param, value,
attribs)'
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/dbd/odbc/statement.rb:18: warning: constant ::Fixnum
is deprecated
martind@neutrino:~$
I don't know of any way to suppress the warning.
Well, I can get rid of it with a monkey patch:
require "dbd/ODBC"
class DBI::DBD::ODBC::Statement
def bind_param(param, value, attribs)
raise DBI::InterfaceError, "only ? parameters supported" unless
param.is_a? Integer
@params[param-1] = value
end
end
That changes Fixnum to Integer.
My testing suggests that such a change works even on versions as old as Debian
Lenny's Ruby 1.8.7.
I realize that this pacakge isn't maintained in Debian after Jessie.
I understand that's because it's not maintained upstream.
The replacement code, which I understand to be RDBI, doesn't install on Buster.
I've tried to raise that upstream as
https://github.com/RDBI/rdbi-driver-odbc/pull/8.
Upstream there seems moribund too.
I'd like to make the monkey patch available to anyone else in the same
situation.
Sorry for the noise.
