Platform specific notes:
The HP-UX 11.23 IA64 binary package does not include the GUI bits because of problems building Qt on that platform.
There is no binary package for Mac OS X on 64-bit PowerPC because Apple does not currently provide a 64-bit PowerPC version of iODBC.
Binary packages for Sun Solaris are now available as
PKG
packages.
Binary packages as disk images with installers are now available for Mac OS X.
A binary package without an installer is available for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition. There are no installer packages for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition.
Functionality added or changed:
Incompatible Change:
The FLAG_DEBUG
option was removed.
When connecting to a specific database when using a DSN, the
system tables from the mysql
database are no
longer also available. Previously, tables from the mysql
database (catalog) were listed as SYSTEM
TABLES
by SQLTables()
even when a
different catalog was being queried.
(Bug#28662)
Installed for Mac OS X has been re-instated. The installer registers the driver at a system (not user) level and makes it possible to create both user and system DSNs using the MySQL Connector/ODBC driver. The installer also fixes the situation where the necessary drivers would bge installed local to the user, not globally. (Bug#15326, Bug#10444)
MySQL Connector/ODBC now supports batched statements. In order to enable
cached statement support you must switch enable the batched
statement option (FLAG_MULTI_STATEMENTS
,
67108864, or Allow multiple statements
within a GUI configuration). Be aware that batched statements
create an increased chance of SQL injection attacks and you must
ensure that your application protects against this scenario.
(Bug#7445)
The SQL_ATTR_ROW_BIND_OFFSET_PTR
is now
supported for row bind offsets.
(Bug#6741)
The TRACE
and TRACEFILE
DSN options have been removed. Use the ODBC driver manager trace
options instead.
Bugs fixed:
When using a table with multiple
TIMESTAMP
columns, the final
TIMESTAMP
column within the table
definition would not be updateable. Note that there is still a
limitation in MySQL server regarding multiple
TIMESTAMP
columns . (Bug#9927)
(Bug#30081)
Fixed an issue where the myodbc3i would
update the user ODBC configuration file
(~/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini
) instead of
the system /Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini
. This
was caused because myodbc3i was not honoring
the s
and u
modifiers for
the -d
command-line option.
(Bug#29964)
Getting table metadata (through the
SQLColumns()
would fail, returning a bad
table definition to calling applications.
(Bug#29888)
DATETIME
column types would
return FALSE
in place of
SQL_SUCCESS
when requesting the column type
information.
(Bug#28657)
The SQL_COLUMN_TYPE
,
SQL_COLUMN_DISPLAY
and
SQL_COLUMN_PRECISION
values would be returned
incorrectly by SQLColumns()
,
SQLDescribeCol()
and
SQLColAttribute()
when accessing character
columns, especially those generated through
concat()
. The lengths returned should now
conform to the ODBC specification. The
FLAG_FIELD_LENGTH
option no longer has any
affect on the results returned.
(Bug#27862)
Obtaining the length of a column when using a character set for
the connection of utf8
would result in the
length being returned incorrectly.
(Bug#19345)
The SQLColumns()
function could return
incorrect information about
TIMESTAMP
columns, indicating
that the field was not nullable.
(Bug#14414)
The SQLColumns()
function could return
incorrect information about AUTO_INCREMENT
columns, indicating that the field was not nullable.
(Bug#14407)
A binary package without an installer is available for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition. There are no installer packages for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition.
There is no binary package for Mac OS X on 64-bit PowerPC because Apple does not currently provide a 64-bit PowerPC version of iODBC.
BIT(n)
columns are now treated as
SQL_BIT
data where n = 1
and binary data where n > 1
.
The wrong value from SQL_DESC_LITERAL_SUFFIX
was returned for binary fields.
The SQL_DATETIME_SUB
column in SQLColumns()
was not correctly set for date and time types.
The value for SQL_DESC_FIXED_PREC_SCALE
was
not returned correctly for values in MySQL 5.0 and later.
The wrong value for SQL_DESC_TYPE
was
returned for date and time types.
SQLConnect()
and
SQLDriverConnect()
were rewritten to
eliminate duplicate code and ensure all options were supported
using both connection methods.
SQLDriverConnect()
now only requires the
setup library to be present when the call requires it.
The HP-UX 11.23 IA64 binary package does not include the GUI bits because of problems building Qt on that platform.
Binary packages as disk images with installers are now available for Mac OS X.
Binary packages for Sun Solaris are now available as
PKG
packages.
The wrong value for DECIMAL_DIGITS
in
SQLColumns()
was reported for
FLOAT
and
DOUBLE
fields, as well as the
wrong value for the scale parameter to
SQLDescribeCol()
, and the
SQL_DESC_SCALE
attribute from
SQLColAttribute()
.
The SQL_DATA_TYPE
column in
SQLColumns()
results did not report the
correct value for date and time types.
