MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.2 Beta 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 an Stable (GA) release of MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.
MariaDB Connector/ODBC 3.0.2 is built on top of MariaDB Connector/C 3.0 and uses the binary prepared statement protocol.
For Parameter Arrays operations(column-wise) and for
SQLBulkOperations
/SQLSetPos
(SQL_ADD/SQL_UPDATE) it uses MariaDB bulk
operations feature, that allows to send batches of parameter sets, instead of
sending them row by row. This only works with MariaDB server starting from
version 10.2.7
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 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.
