MySQL Connector/C++ Release Notes
Binary distributions of this Connector/C++ release were compiled using Boost 1.54.0. If you compile this Connector/C++ release from source, you must also use that Boost version.
Connector/C++ now supports the following connection options:
sslVerify (boolean),
sslCRL (string), and
sslCRLPath (string). These correspond to the
MYSQL_OPT_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT,
MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CRL, and
MYSQL_OPT_SSL_CRLPATH options for the
mysql_options() C API function.
(Bug #18461451)
Connector/C++ has new methods to provide schema, table, and column character set and collation metadata for result sets:
ResultSet *
DatabaseMetaData::getSchemaCollation(const
sql::SQLString& catalog, const sql::SQLString&
schemaPattern)
ResultSet *
DatabaseMetaData::getSchemaCharset(const sql::SQLString&
catalog, const sql::SQLString& schemaPattern)
ResultSet *
DatabaseMetaData::getTableCollation(const
sql::SQLString& catalog, const sql::SQLString&
schemaPattern, const sql::SQLString&
tableNamePattern)
ResultSet * DatabaseMetaData::getTableCharset(const
sql::SQLString& catalog, const sql::SQLString&
schemaPattern, const sql::SQLString&
tableNamePattern)
SQLString
ResultSetMetaData::getColumnCollation(unsigned int
columnIndex)
SQLString
ResultSetMetaData::getColumnCharset(unsigned int
columnIndex)
(Bug #72698, Bug #18803345)
Connector/C++ now supports the OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_ADD
option, which accepts an std::map argument.
This option corresponds to the
MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_ADD option for
mysql_options4().
(Bug #72697, Bug #18803313)
Connector/C++ now supports a useLegacyAuth
connection option, which corresponds to the
MYSQL_SECURE_AUTH option for the
mysql_options() C API function,
except that the sense is the logical negation. For example, to
disable secure authentication, pass a
useLegacyAuth value of true.
(Bug #69492, Bug #16970753)
MySQL_ResultSetMetaData::getColumnTypeName()
returned UNKNOWN for
LONG_BLOB fields.
(Bug #72700, Bug #18803414)
Definitions for character sets and collations were added
(utf8mb4 in particular).
(Bug #71606, Bug #18193771)
Connector/C++ version-information methods have been revised to return the correct values. (Bug #66975, Bug #14680878)
