csdb 2026.5.13 (2026-05-13)
Bug Fixes
- PostgreSQL methods (
create_table, keep_rows_where, drop_table) now quote role_create_table via DBI::dbQuoteIdentifier() when emitting SET ROLE. Previously the role name was interpolated raw, which broke on identifiers containing hyphens, mixed case, or reserved words (e.g. SET ROLE token-user -> syntax error), and was a SQL-injection vector if the value came from an env var.
csdb 2026.2.2 (2026-03-31)
New Features
- Added authentication hook system (
csdb_set_auth_hook(), csdb_get_auth_hook()) to allow automatic credential refresh (e.g., Kerberos tickets) when connection fails
csdb 2026.1.28
Bug Fixes
- Improved database connection error messages to include the original driver error details for easier debugging
csdb 2025.7.28
Bug Fixes
- Fixed namespace loading error by importing methods::initialize generic
- Improved error handling in .onLoad() function for S7 operations
- Package now passes CRAN namespace loading requirements
csdb 2025.7.19
Bug Fixes
- Fixed DBConnection_v9 print method to display "SSL mode" instead of "trusted connection" for PostgreSQL connections
Development
- Added S7 package to imports in preparation for S3 to S7 method conversion to improve CRAN compliance
- S7 transition planned to reduce exported API surface while maintaining functionality through R6 classes
csdb 2025.7.17
- Updated package for CRAN submission with comprehensive improvements
- Added comprehensive documentation with examples for all exported functions
- Fixed critical CRAN compliance issues including system tool availability checks
- Added proper R6 class documentation with detailed usage examples
- Improved all validator function documentation with clear examples
- Added missing dependencies and fixed import declarations
- Updated .Rbuildignore to exclude system files and build artifacts
- Added CLAUDE.md for future development guidance
- Fixed vignette title and improved documentation quality
- All functions now pass R CMD check with only acceptable NOTEs
csdb 2025.2.15
- Including
role_create_table in drop_table for PostgreSQL.
csdb 2024.10.25
role_create_table is now included for dbconnection_v9/dbtable_v9, so that the role can be changed when creating tables in PostgreSQL.
csdb 2024.3.27
- csdb now supports PostgreSQL databases as well as MS SQL Server.
csdb 2024.3.11
- Including use_count as an argument in nrow in DBTable_v9, which is slower but more accurate.
csdb 2024.3.7
- Including confirm_insert_via_nrow in DBTable_v9. Checks nrow() before insert and after insert. If nrow() has not increased sufficiently, then attempt an upsert.
csdb 2023.12.28
- Including validator_field_types_csfmt_rts_data_v2 and validator_field_contents_csfmt_rts_data_v2.
csdb 2023.12.26
- Including georegion in validator_field_contents_csfmt_rts_data_v1.
csdb 2023.4.14
get_table_names_and_info is now ordered according to table_name.
csdb 2023.4.12
get_table_names_and_nrow is now changed to get_table_names_and_info and also includes size_total_gb, size_data_gb, size_index_gb.
info is now included as a method for DBTable_v9
csdb 2023.4.4
confirm_indexes is now added to DBTable_v9, which confirms that the names and number of indexes in the database are the same as in the R code. It does not confirm the contents of the indexes!
nrow is now added to DBTable_v9, which is an application of the new get_table_names_and_nrow function.
get_table_names_and_nrow added as an exported function, that will get all the table names and the nrows from a dbconnection.
csdb 2023.4.2
create_table now automatically adds the indexes.
csdb 2023.3.31
- Removing info messages from
drop_rows_where.
csdb 2023.3.8
- connect() in DBConnection_v9 is smarter, more robust with error checking and making fewer useless calls to the db. Tries to connect twice now before throwing an error.
- autoconnection is now more robust in DBConnection_v9.
csdb 2023.2.17
