* Documentation in .CHM and .HLP format has been removed from the distribution.
* For some procedure and parameter combinations SQLProcedureColumns() did not
work correctly. For example, it could not return records for an existing
procedure with correct parameters supplied.
* Further, it returned incorrect data for column 7, TYPE_NAME. For example, it
returned VARCHAR(20) instead of VARCHAR.
* The MySQL Connector/ODBC MSI installer did not set the InstallLocation value
in the Microsoft Windows registry.
* In bulk upload mode, SQLExecute would return SQL_SUCCESS, even when the
uploaded data contained errors, such as primary key duplication, and foreign
key violation.
* SQLDescribeCol and SQLColAttribute could not be called before SQLExecute, if
the query was parameterized and not all parameters were bound.
* Note, MSDN states that “For performance reasons, an application should not
call SQLColAttribute/SQLDescribeCol before executing a statement.” However,
it should still be possible to do so if performance reasons are not paramount.
* When SQLNumResultCols() was called between SQLPrepare() and SQLExecute() the
driver ran SET @@sql_select_limit=1, which limited the resultset to just one
row.
* After installing MySQL Connector/ODBC, the system DSN created could not be
configured or deleted. An error dialog was displayed, showing the error
message “Invalid attribute string”.
* In this case the problem was due to the fact that the driver could not parse
the NULL-separated connection string.
* When used after a call to SQLTables(), SQLRowCount() did not return the
correct value.
with a modern version of MySQL. Also, fix some DESTDIR issues.
5.1.6
Functionality added or changed:
* Providing an empty string as the catalog argument to SQLTables()
will return an empty result set. A catalog must have a name.

SQLLEN and not to SQLINTEGER. Using SQLINTEGER pointers as
StrLen_or_IndPtr parameter of SQLBindParameter/SQLBindCol may cause crash
on 64bit platforms.

not compiled into libmysql. (Bug #39831)

* Added FLAG_NO_BINARY_RESULT connection option to always handle
binary function results as character data. (Bug #29402)
Bugs fixed:
* Some catalog functions used fixed-sized buffers for handling
arguments that could be overrun, and misinterpreted some arguments
as patterns when they should be treated as identifiers. (Bug #36275)

the dialog box instead of SQL_NO_DATA. (Bug #36293)
* System DSN lookup (using ODBC_BOTH_DSN) fails on Windows XP.
(Bug #36203)
* SQLProcedures() followed by SQLFreeStmt() crashes (Bug #36069)
* ADO adUseServer cursor is lost after updating adLongVarWChar field
(Bug #26950)

* FLAG_COLUMN_SIZE_S32 did not limit the octet length or display size
reported for fields, causing problems with Microsoft Visual
FoxPro. (Bug #30890)
* Retrieving SQL_C_WCHAR data with SQLGetData() could crash due to
incorrect handling of the buffer length. (Bug #32684)

* ADO could not open a recordset that has a DECIMAL field (Bug #31720)
* SQLError() incorrectly cleared the error information, making it
unavailable from subsequent calls to SQLGetDiagRec().
* ADO was unable to open record set using dynamic cursor. (Bug #32014)

SQLError().

a function has been removed from the mysql-client library.
Other changes:
* lots of bug fixes
* Added FLAG_COLUMN_SIZE_S32 to limit the reported column size to a
signed 32-bit integer. This option is automatically enabled for ADO
applications, in order to work around a bug in ADO. (Bug #13776)
* Added FLAG_MULTI_STATEMENTS to allow issuing queries that contain
multiple statements. Also added to the setup GUI. (Bug #7445)
* Removed support for the TRACE and TRACEFILE DSN options. The standard
ODBC logging should be used.
* Added support for SQL_ATTR_ROW_BIND_OFFSET_PTR in normal cursors.
(Bug #6741)
* Added SSL options to the GUI setup dialog.
* Added an option (CHARSET) for specifying the default character
set for a connection. This must be used instead of a "SET NAMES"
statement. Also available from the GUI setup dialog. (Related
to Bug #6667 and Bug #9498.)
* Dis-allow NULL ptr for null indicator when calling SQLGetData()
if value is null. Now returns SQL_ERROR w/state 22002.
* Fixed calling convention ptr and wrong free in myodbc3i, and fixed
the null terminating (was only one, not two) when writing DSN to string.
* Added support for using SSL. This is not yet exposed in the setup GUI,
but must be enabled through configuration files or the DSN. (Bug #12918)
* Added auto-reconnect option because automatic reconnect is now
disabled by default in libmysql
* Added auto is null option (Bug #10910)
* Added support for SQLMoreResults
* Checking SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD now always calls mysql_ping() to
check for a dead connection.
* Remove ODBC escape syntax { and } that begin and terminate statements,
allowing {CALL (?)} for procedures that don't require OUT or INOUT
parameters
* Improved regression tests
* Added --with-separate-debug-driver ./configure option
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
There were zillions of changes... please see the Changelog file.
Now it builds with both mysql-4.1.x and mysql-5.1.x.
pkgsrc changes:
Supported build options:
* myodbc-gui: builds the QT widgets library. (disabled)
* myodbc-iodbc: uses iodbc for the odbc functions. (enabled)
* myodbc-unixodbc: uses unixodbc for the odbc functions. (disabled)
Uses MASTER_SITE_MYSQL.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
