# What’s new? (since the book)

- ## $sth->fetchrow_hashref()

  - now 25% faster

- ## $dbh->selectrow_hashref()

- ## $dbh->selectrow_arrayref()

  - new one-call prepare + execute + fetch utility methods

- ## $sth = $dbh->table_info(…)

  - DBI spec now allows parameters to qualify which tables you want info on

- ## $dbh->quote($string, $type)

  - now much faster if a $type argument is given (caches quoting data from type_info_all)

- ## $dbh->type_info_all()

  - now also much faster due to added caching
