Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.2.3, a new version of the ODBC driver for the MySQL database management system, has been released.
The available downloads include both a Unicode driver and an ANSI driver based on the same modern codebase. Please select driver type you need based on the type of your application - Unicode or ANSI. Server-side prepared statements are enabled by default. It is suitable for use with any MySQL version since 4.1 (It will not work with 4.0 or earlier releases.) The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.2.html For information on installing, please see the documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-odbc-installation.html We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches, etc.: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/mysql/Contributing Enjoy! The MySQL build team at Oracle ============================================================================== Bugs Fixed * Insert operations could fail if the inserted values contained any bit fields, mapped to table columns declared as bit(1): Data too long for column 'column_name' (Bug #15997361, Bug #67702) * The is_minimum_version function could return an incorrect result in some cases where the difference was in the third component of the release number. (Bug #15926340) * An application making extensive use of prepared statements could encounter an error: Can't create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements (current value: 16382) The issue occurred even if SQLFreeStmt() calls were used. The Prepared_stmt_count value grew until it exceeded the internal limit. A workaround was to disable server-side prepared statements. (Bug #14812778, Bug #67340) * On a 64-bit system, calls to the SQLBindCol function using indicator variables (through the last parameter) could return incorrect results. (Bug #11766437, Bug #59541) Built against the MySQL server 5.5.27 client library. -- Kent Boortz, Release Staff engineer Oracle, The MySQL Team Mobile: +46 76 77 69 049 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
