MySQL Connector/ODBC Release Notes
Only the source code and Windows binaries are available with this release.
The 64-bit MSI installer no longer contains 32-bit and 64-bit builds of the driver, like it did in previous versions. It now only includes 64-bit support.
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)
The CLI installer script
mysqlodbc-installer
was missing
documentation about how to configure the optional data source
parameters.
(Bug #12810058)
The Install.bat
script contained leftover
3.51
information, and did not properly
install the 5.1
Connector/ODBC connector.
(Bug #12781039)
With the option charset=cp1251
specified in
the connection string, the results could be returned as
CP1251
or as UTF8
depending on the query. For example, these queries could give
results in different code pages:
select if(1=1,'string in cp1251 code page
',0) as 'string in cp1251 code page
'; select 'string in cp1251 code page
' as 'string in cp1251 code page
';
(Bug #11765110, Bug #58038)
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)
When using Connector/ODBC to fetch data, if a
net_write_timeout
condition occurred, the
operation returned the standard "end of data" status, rather
than an error.
(Bug #39878)
MS Access fields with VARCHAR NOT NULL
columns could not be altered.
(Bug #31067)
