MySQL Connector/C++ Release Notes
Connector/C++ 8.3.0 binary distributions from Oracle are built with the
8.3.0 version of the MySQL client library. MySQL Server 8.3.0
removed auto-reconnect support after deprecating it in versions
8.0.34 and 8.1.0. The related OPT_RECONNECT
connection option continues to be recognized by the connector,
but enabling the option now has no effect on the connection.
Applications that use the legacy JDBC API and also enable
OPT_RECONNECT can:
Implement reconnect logic in the application code.
Build JDBC Connector/C++ from sources in combination with an older
version of the MySQL client library. However, enabling the
OPT_RECONNECT option does guarantee a
successful automatic reconnection to the server if the
connection is found to have been lost.
(WL #15979)
Improved OpenTelemetry support to propagate context when executing prepared statements. (WL #15959)
Improved support to import Connector/C++ into CMake projects by
allowing find_package(mysql-concpp) to enable
consuming it. This defines import targets such as
mysql::concpp that can be linked to
executables used by the connector.
