This document describes the changes made to the odbc application. +

+ +
ODBC 2.10.6 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Applied a patch from Andrew Thompson, which fixes some + error cases.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8291

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The documentation is now built with open source tools + (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One + visible change is that the frames are removed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8250

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.10.5 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ A missing return statement in a non void function has been fixed in odbc. (Thanks to Nico Kruber) +

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7978

+ + +
+ +
+ + +
ODBC 2.10.4 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ param_query now handles the in_or_out parameter + correctly.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7720

+ + +

+ Changed the internal socket use so that it will become + more robust to non-functional ipv6 and fallback on ipv4.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7721

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.10.3 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Configure update for mac.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7418

+ + +
+ + +
Known Bugs and Problems + + +

+ describe_table/[2,3] on mac gives an empty result

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7478

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.10.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ SQLINTEGERs where not retrieved correctly on 64 bit + platforms as an SQLINTEGER is defined to be a 32 bit + integer and not a true long.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7297

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.10.1 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Now supports out and input parameters for stored + procedures.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7019

+ + +

+ ODBC is now prebuilt for SLES10 in the commercial build + and parameters to error_logger:error_report/1 has been + corrected.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7294

+ + +

+ Parametrized queries will now work correctly when using + Erlang R12B-2 on Linux (SuSE 10.3), MySQL 5.0.45, myodbc + 3.51 and unixODBC 2.2.12. Earlier it could happen that an + error was returned even though data was correctly + inserted into the database.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7307

+ + +
+ + +
Known Bugs and Problems + + +

+ SQLINTEGERs are not retrieved correctly on 64 bit + platforms as an SQLINTEGER seems to be defined to be a 32 + bit integer and not a true long.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7297

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.10 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Enhanced configure to among other things work better when + there is a library found but it is not usable e.i. 32 bit + library in 64 bit build.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7062

+ + +
+ +
+ +
ODBC 2.0.9 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The odbc application now has to be explicitly started and + stopped e.i. it will not automatically be started as a + temporary application as it did before. Although a + practical feature when testing things in the shell, it is + not desirable that people take advantage of this and not + start the odbc application in a correct way in their + products. Added functions to the odbc API that calls + application:start/stop.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-6984

+ + +

+ Changed Makefile.in so that odbc is not disabled on + 64-bits architectures. It was earlier disabled due to + that it had never been tested in that environment.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-6987

+ + +
+ +
+ +
+ ODBC 2.0.8 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Minor Makefile changes.

+

Own Id: OTP-6689

+ + +
+
+ +
+ ODBC 2.0.7 + +
+ Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

When using a parameterized query on a windows platform + the data was inserted in the table on the sql-server but + the connection was lost, this seems to be due to a + compiler error that has now been worked around, but + further investigation is ongoing to verify that that + really was the problem.

+

Own Id: OTP-5504

+ + +

param_query/[3,4] could return an unexpected row count + for some drivers, in this case a postgresdriver.

+

Own Id: OTP-6363

+ + +
+
+ +
+ ODBC 2.0.6 + +
+ Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

pthread header and library mismatch on linux systems (at + least some SuSE and Debian) with both NPTL and + Linuxthreads libraries installed.

+

Own Id: OTP-5981

+ + +
+ +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Changed configure to find odbc in /usr/local too

+

Own Id: OTP-5966

+ + +
+ +
+ Known Bugs and Problems + + +

When using a parameterized query on a windows platform + the data is inserted in the table on the sql-server but + for some reason the connection is lost.

+

Own Id: OTP-5504

+ + +
+
+ +
+ ODBC 2.0.5 + +
+ Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

Fixed bug, reported error when deleting nonexisting rows, + thanks to Laura M. Castro for reporting this.

+

Own Id: OTP-5759

+ + +
+ +
+ Known Bugs and Problems + + +

When using a parameterized query on a windows platform + the data is inserted in the table on the sql-server but + for some reason the connection is lost.

+

Own Id: OTP-5504

+ + +
+
+ +
+ Odbc 2.0.4 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

/usr was added as a default place for configure to look + for the odbc library on unix/linux platforms.

+

Own Id: OTP-5501

+ + +

A legacy timer in the c port program was set to infinity. + All timeout handling is handled by the erlang code and a + extra timeout in the c code will just lead to confusion + if it is released.

+

Own Id: OTP-5502

+ + +
+ +
+ Known Bugs and Problems + + +

When using a parameterized query on a windows platform + the data is inserted in the table on the sql-server but + for some reason the connection is lost.

+

Own Id: OTP-5504

+ + +
+
+ +
+ Odbc 2.0.3 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

odbc now uses configure as all "normal" applications + instead of providing special Makefiles for each + commercial supported platform. This also makes it easier + to build odbc on non supported platforms.

+

Own Id: OTP-5437

+ + +
+
+ +
+ odbc 2.0.2 + +
+ Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

When issuing a batch of queries and one of the queries + fail the odbc port program crashed. This is no longer the + case.

+

Own Id: OTP-5176

+ + +
+
+ +
+ odbc 2.0.1 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Added use of the socket option TCP_NODELAY, as in the + case of Erlang odbc the Nagel algorithm will never help, + but always cause an unnecessary delay.

+

Own Id: OTP-5100

+ + +
+
+ +
+ odbc 2.0 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Erlang ODBC now handles batches of queries and can return + multiple result sets.

+

Own Id: OTP-4642 Aux Id: seq7766

+ + +

The old interface that became deprecated in odbc 1.0 has + now been removed.

+

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

Own Id: OTP-4794

+ + +

The port program now sends different exit codes to Erlang + when it exits due to failure. This instead of sending the + same exit code and then trying to write to stderr. Erlang + encodes the exit code to a descriptive atom.

+

Own Id: OTP-4813

+ + +

Erlang ODBC now supports parameterized queries for the + most common ODBC data types.

+

Own Id: OTP-4821

+ + +

SQL_NUMERIC and SQL_DECIMAL columns are converted to + integer and float values if possible.

+

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

Own Id: OTP-4826

+ + +

Result sets are now by default returned as a list of + tuples which is the most intuitive and useful mapping. To + keep some degree of backwards compatibility you may turn + this off to get the old behavior that result sets are + returned as lists of lists. However do not use this in + new code as it is considered a deprecated feature that + eventually will disappear.

+

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

Own Id: OTP-4850

+ + +

The odbc implementation now mostly uses sockets to + communicate between the c and the erlang process, this is + to avoid a lot of problems arising from different + odbc-drivers doing strange things that disturbed the + port-program communication mechanism.
