**Release date:** 12 Oct 2017

This is a [Stable (GA)](/docs/release-notes/community-server/about/release-criteria.md) release of MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.

MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.2 is built on top of [MariaDB Connector/C 3.0](/docs/release-notes/connectors/c/3.0/3.0.2.md) and uses the binary prepared statement protocol.

For Parameter Arrays operations (column-wise) with INSERT and UPDATE statements, and for`SQLBulkOperations`/`SQLSetPos` (SQL\_ADD/SQL\_UPDATE) it uses MariaDB's bulk operations feature, which allows sending batches of parameter sets, instead of sending them row by row. This only works with a server version >= [MariaDB 10.2.7](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/10.2.7.md).

For `SQLExecDirect` calls, uses the `mariadb_stmt_execute_direct` MariaDB\
C API command, which is faster than using `mysql_stmt_prepare + mysql_stmt_execute`, but only with [MariaDB 10.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/what-is-mariadb-102.md) server.

This release was built with SSL support. You can use SSLKEY, SSLCERT, SSLCA,\
SSLCAPATH, SSLCIPHER, SSLVERIFY, SSLCRL and SSLCRLPATH connection string/DSN options to configure your connection properties.

Internally, Connector/ODBC 3.0 depends much less on Connector/C internal features than previous versions, with the eventual goal of only using the open\
Connector/C API. Build with dynamic linking against Connector/C library is now supported.
