Connector/ODBC 5.0.8 is the fourth BETA release.
This is an implementation and testing release, and is not designed for use within a production environment.
Functionality Added or Changed
Wildcards now support escaped chars and underscore matching (needed to link tables with underscores in access).
Fixed display size to be length if max length isn’t available.
Also made SQL_DESC_NAME only fill in the name
if there was a data pointer given, otherwise just the length.
Bugs Fixed
Fixed string length to chars, not bytes, returned by SQLGetDiagRec.
Fix size return from SQLDescribeCol.
Fixed type returned for MYSQL_TYPE_LONG to
SQL_INTEGER instead of
SQL_TINYINT.
Fixed handling of numeric pointers in SQLColAttribute.
Updated retrieval of descriptor fields to use the right pointer types.
Length now used when handling bind parameter (needed in
particular for SQL_WCHAR) - this enables
updating char data in MS Access.
Allow SQLDescribeCol to be called to retrieve the length of the column name, but not the name itself.
Fixed MDiagnostic to use correct v2/v3 error codes.
Set default return to SQL_SUCCESS if nothing
is done for SQLSpecialColumns.
Fixed using wrong pointer for
SQL_MAX_DRIVER_CONNECTIONS in
SQLGetInfo.
Fixed binding using SQL_C_LONG.
