Subject: NEW ODBC DRIVER v.0245

Message-ID: <3581B696.181BDFF8@insightdist.com> (raw)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
This file describes changes and or fixes since the last update.
NEW FEATURES:
1. Added Row Versioning Data source option. If enabled, this allows
applications like Access to test if a row has been changed while it
was being edited. It also lets Access use a simpler update statement,
consisting of only the key and the rowver column (xmin) instead of
using every single column.
Caveats:
- The 'xmin' column will be displayed as a regular column. There was
no way around this in Access. Just ignore it. Access won't let you
type into the column anyway.
- An application that doesn't make use of row versioning (i.e., Borland
Database Explorer) will not work well when this feature is enabled
because the xmin column is always updated, thus changing the row
values.
2. Added Postgres "timestamp" type as a supported data type.
It is mapped to SQL_TIMESTAMP of course.
BUG_FIXES:
1. Removed checks for input buffer being big enough (cbValueMax) for all
data types except character and binary. For data types like dates and
numerics, the driver should assume the buffer is big enough and not
test cbValueMax. This prevented at least one app (odbcexpress) from
working properly, but may have caused other problems.
