MySQL Connector/ODBC Release Notes
The binaries for this distribution of Connector/ODBC can now
connect to MySQL server accounts that use the PAM or Windows
Native Authentication Plugins for authentication. See
PAM Pluggable Authentication, and
Windows Pluggable Authentication. These
capabilities result from linking the Connector/ODBC binaries
against the MySQL 5.5.16 libmysqlclient
rather than the MySQL 5.1 libmysqlclient
used
previously. The newer libmysqlclient
includes
the client-side support needed for the server-side PAM and
Windows authentication plugins.
Some catalog functions (such as SQLColumns()
,
SQLStatistics()
, and
SQLPrimaryKeys()
) would only return one row,
when called after pre-execution failed.
(Bug #12824839)
An off-by-one error, where sqlwcharchr
might
read one SQLWCHAR
after the end of a string.
(Bug #61586)
SQLExecute
would return
SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO
instead of
SQL_ERROR
, when column parameter binding was
enabled.
(Bug #59772)
The Connector/ODBC driver did not call
mysql_thread_end()
when a thread
ended, which caused error messages like: Error in
my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit
.
(Bug #57727)
MS Access fields with VARCHAR NOT NULL
columns could not be altered.
(Bug #31067)
