unixODBC Description

The unixODBC Project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC to be the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platform The unixODBC Project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC to be the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platforms. This is to include GUI support for both KDE and GNOME.ODBC is an open specification for providing application developers with a predictable API with which to access Data Sources. Data Sources include SQL Servers and any Data Source with an ODBC Driver.The two major advantages of choosing to code an application to the ODBC API are:Portable Data Access CodeThe ODBC API, as outlined by X/Open and ISO, is availible on all major platforms. Microsoft platforms include many enhancements to this specification; these enhancements are also supported by unixODBC Dynamic Data BindingThis allows the user or the system administrator to easily configure an application to use any ODBC compliant data source. This is perhaps the single biggest advantage of coding an application to the ODBC API and to purchase these applications.Dyamic binding allows the end-user to pick a data source, ie an SQL Server, and use it for all data applications without having to worry about recompiling the application. The unixODBC team has reached this objective by providing the best technical solution to ODBC demands on the Linux platform. Also; ALL unixODBC development is and will be distributed under GPL or LGPL. The LGPL on libs will ensure that commercial solutions will be able to utilize unixODBC. What's New in This Release: · There was a mutex around iconv that needed adding. Without this, there was a potential thread problem · Fix problem with SQLGetDiagRec/Field returning double driver errors · odbctest was using the wrong handle for SQLGetConnectOption · remove startup thread race condition · fix descriptor memory leak with UNICODE only drivers (thanks Ian) · Alter the default 64bit build mode, and change the flag to BUILD_LEGACY_64_BIT_MODE · Fix a couple of 64bit problems · create unixodbc_conf.h on install to contain compile settings · Allow the GUI parts to build with qt4 · try and deal with drivers that call internal W functions and end up in the driver manager (informix for example). Enabled by --enable-handlemap=yes when configuring · Fix leak of iconv handles · Allow the setup API to call through to the wide driver functions · Fix potential seg fault in SQLGetPrivateProfileString · Fix a couple of broken casts, and some MS 64bit changes · Add check for postgres driver getting into a spin wait · Fix logging that reported the setting of env attrs failing · Add isql option to wrap strings with quotes · Add isql option -3 to make isql use ODBC 3 calls instead of 2 · Add timestamp to logging output · Pull any errors from driver whern SQLBrowseConnect returns SQL_NEED_DATA · isql now displays any warnings from SQLMoreResults · Add include path to odbc_config --cflags output · Fix some SQLLEN/SQLINTEGER conflicts in the cursor lib · isql now checks if the driver has SQLMoreResults before calling it · A couple of tweeks in the txt driver · Fix More than 1 log msg relevant in odbcinst now · Changed UI plugin technique for odbcinst see... ODBCConfig > main.cpp, and odbcinst > SQLManageDataSources.c and odbcinstQ4 > SQLManageDataSources.cpp · Add more 64 bit changes, remove SQLROWCOUNT and its frends from 64 bit land · Couple of descriptor typo's fixed (Thanks Jess) · Add odbcinstQ4 to support pure Qt4 SQLCreateDataSource and SQLManageDataSources · Add ODBCCreateDataSourceQ4 as Qt4 based exec to SQLCreateDataSource · Add ODBCManageDataSourcesQ4 as Qt4 based exec to SQLManageDataSources · Add "-c" option to odbcinst to call SQLCreateDataSource · Add "-m" option to odbcinst to call SQLManageDataSources · Add ODBCDataManagerQ4 · Add Wrappers (C++, QtCore 4, QtGui 4 - thin wrappers to ODBC) · Add more complete set of driver config options to GUI config · Fix incorrect export file in odbcinstQ · Added some extra features to isql (thanks to Ron Norman for the ideas) · Add diag support lib for driver development and possibly DM This is very 'black-boxed' on purpose. · Fix Replaced diag code in txt driver to use new diag lib. · Add New odbctrac library. · Add Threading can not be config via Qt(4) based GUI · Add New ODBCString library. · Add odbcinst.ini -> ODBC -> TraceLibrary and corresponding GUI Qt(4) config. · prevent the cursor lib from seg faulting if the query isn't a select · Add SQLULEN size display to the output of odbcinst -j · Add mutexes in odbcinst/_logging.c · Remove the MySQL Driver, its woefully out of date now · Remove incorrect path in vms_odbc.opt · rename trace.h to odbctrace.h to avoid potential name conflicts and move to include dir · update unixODBC.spec file · Add README.CYGWIN · Fix build problem with QT4 without QWizard support · Alter how the Ansi-Unicode mapping is done, so a unicode function can be passed to the driver (if it supports it) even if a non unicode connect was done · Fix buffer overrun in SQLDriverConnectW and SQLColAttributesW · I have cut back on a lot of the GUI parts that are being added. The goal is to create a distinct set of files that contains these and other parts that are not part of the core goal of providing ODBC. Likewise the drivers will go on the next release, as most DB's now have their own folk working on their drivers and they all interoperate with unixODBC so its just adding confusion including them here (IMHO that is) · Prevent a potential buffer overrun in the DM · The processing of --enable-rtldgroup had been dropped, back now · Allow the cursor lib to handle multiple result sets
