Functionality Added or Changed
New directory layout.
MySQL Workbench 5.1 changed to use MySQL Connector/C++ for its database connectivity.
Converted Connector/J tests added.
Changed sql::DbcException to implement the
interface of JDBC's SQLException. Renamed to
sql::SQLException.
Renamed sql::DbcInvalidArgument to
sql::InvalidArgumentException
Renamed sql::DbcMethodNotImplemented to
sql::MethodNotImplementedException
All tests changed to create TAP compliant output.
Introduced experimental CPack support, see make help.
Changed metadata column name TABLE_CATALOG to
TABLE_CAT and TABLE_SCHEMA
to TABLE_SCHEM to ensure JDBC compliance.
Renamed ConnectionMetaData::getImportedKeys():
PKTABLE_CATALOG to PKTABLE_CAT,
PKTABLE_SCHEMA to
PKTABLE_SCHEM,
FKTABLE_CATALOG to
FKTABLE_CAT,
FKTABLE_SCHEMA to
FKTABLE_SCHEM.
Renamed ConnectionMetaData::getPrimaryKeys():
COLUMN to COLUMN_NAME,
SEQUENCE to KEY_SEQ, and
INDEX_NAME to PK_NAME.
Renamed ConnectionMetaData::getProcedures:
PROCEDURE_SCHEMA to
PROCEDURE_SCHEM.
Renamed ConnectionMetaData::getTables:
TABLE_COMMENT to REMARKS.
All examples can be given optional connection parameters on the command line, for example:
examples/connect tcp://host:port user pass database
or
examples/connect unix:///path/to/mysql.sock user pass database
Added experimental GCov support, cmake
-DMYSQLCPPCONN_GCOV_ENABLE:BOOL=1
ConnectionMetaData::getCatalogTerm() returns
not applicable, there is no counterpart to catalog in MySQL Connector/C++.
Added ConnectionMetaData::getSchemas() and
Connection::setSchema().
Driver Manager was removed.
Support for (n)make install was added. You can change the default installation path. Carefully read the messages displayed after executing cmake. The following are installed:
Static and the dynamic version of the library,
libmysqlcppconn.
Generic interface, cppconn.
Two MySQL specific headers:
mysql_driver.h, use this if you want to
get your connections from the driver instead of
instantiating a MySQL_Connection object.
This makes your code portable when using the common
interface.
mysql_connection.h, use this if you
intend to link directly to the
MySQL_Connection class and use its
specifics not found in sql::Connection.
However, you can make your application fully abstract by using the generic interface rather than these two headers.
sql::mysql::MySQL_SQLException was removed.
The distinction between server and client (connector) errors,
based on the type of the exception, has been removed. However,
the error code can still be checked to evaluate the error type.
