MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.0 Alpha Release Notes
Note: This page describes features in the source repository for MariaDB Connector/ODBC. There are currently no official packages or binaries available for download which contain the version of the driver described here. If you want to try out any of the new features described here you will need to get and compile the code yourself.
This is a Alpha release of MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0. As with any other pre-production release, cautions should be taken when installing on production systems or systems with critical data. Not all of the features, planned for the final MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0 release are implemented yet.
MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.0 is built on top of MariaDB Connector/C 3.0 and uses the binary prepared statement protocol.
For SQLExecDirect calls it 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 server.
This release was build with SSL support. You can use SSLKEY, SSLCERT, SSLCA, SSLCAPATH, SSLCIPHER, SSLVERIFY, SSLCRL and SSLCRLPATH connection string/DSN options, to configure your connection properties.
