5.2.1 (09-Aug-2012)
Functionality added or changed:
* Driver prepares statements on server
* Support of INOUT and OUT parameters(WL#6116)
* Increased the timeout in tests from 30 to 60 seconds to avoid failures in
slow tests that involve catalog functions and Information_Schema queries.
Bugs fixed:
* Long table names crash OBDC driver. (Bug# 14085211/65200)
* Close proximity issue when handling OS signlals in myodbc (Bug# 14303803)
* "String data right truncated" error is not always correct (Bug# 14285620)
Built using MySQL 5.5.27.
----
5.2.0
Functionality added or changed:
* Driver available in Unicode and ANSI versions(WL#5850)
* Driver by default uses server side prepared statements
* Connection string option NO_SSPS prevents using of server side prepared
statements. It is configurable via GUI dialog.
Built using MySQL 5.5.25.
----
5.1.11
Functionality added or changed:
* MyODBC queries log is written to %TEMP%\myodbc.sql, or to C:\myodbc.sql if
TEMP is not defined.
* Added pre-fetch functionality implemented through LIMIT to avoid reading the
entire resultset for full table SELECT queries. (WL#6211)
Bugs fixed:
* Fractional parts of second is ignored in SQLGetData. (Bug #12767740/60646)
* ODBC prepared statements ignore fractional part of temporal data types.
(Bug #12767761/60648)
* Memory leak on Windows on each connection attepmt. (Bug #11766029/59059)
* SQLTables() function does not return the catalog correctly if the wildcard
or SQL_ALL_CATALOGS is used. (Bug #13914518)
----
5.1.10(02-Feb-2012)
Functionality added or changed:
Bugs fixed:
* In some cases TIMESTAMP field could be described as SQL_NO_NULLS.
(Bug #13532987)
* SQLFetch has to return error if indicator pointer is NULL for NULL value.
(Bug #13542600)
* A failure on one stmt causes another stmt to fail. (Bug #13097201/#62657)
Built using MySQL 5.5.18.
----
5.1.9 (04-Oct-2011)
Functionality added or changed:
* Support of windows authentication.
Bugs fixed:
* SQLFetch() did not return SQL_ERROR if connection was dropped due to a
timeout. (Bug #39878)
* MS Access with VARCHAR NOT NULL columns. (Bug #31067)
* sqlwcharchr might read one SQLWCHAR after end of string. (Bug #61586)
* Column parameter binding makes SQLExecute not to return SQL_ERROR on
disconnect. (Bug #59772)
* If pre-execution failed some catalog functions called right after that
would return only one row. (Bug #12824839)
* MyODBC driver does not call mysql_thread_end() when the thread ends causing
error messages such as this: Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads
didn't exit. (Bug #57727)
* When NO_BINARY_RESULT was set driver failed to perform the expected data
conversion. (Bug#11765110/58038)
Built using MySQL 5.5.16.
* 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.
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.
