Driver version 5.1.4.000207 (F000348.U000165)
ENHANCEMENTS
- The KeepAlive connection property has been added to the driver. Enabling the KeepAlive property allows the client to keep idle TCP connections active by periodically passing packets to the server.*
- The driver has been enhanced to support Windows Defender Credential Guard
when using Kerberos Authentication.*
- The driver has been enhanced to include timestamp in the Spy and JDBC packet
logs by default. If required, you can disable the timestamp logging by
specifying the following at connection: For Spy logs, set
spyAttributes=(log=(file)Spy.log;timestamp=no) and for JDBC packet logs,
set ddtdbg.ProtocolTraceShowTime=false.*
- Interactive SQL for JDBC (JDBCISQL) is now installed with the product.
JDBCISQL is a command-line interface that supports connecting your driver
to a data source, executing SQL statements and retrieving results in a
terminal. This tool provides a method to quickly test your drivers in an
environment that does not support GUIs.*
- Support for cursor type OUT parameters for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, Windows stored procedures has been added to the driver.*
- The connection properties RandomGenerator and SecureRandomAlgorithm have been
added to the driver.
- RandomGenerator allows you to specify the type of random number generator (RNG) the database uses for secure seeding.
- SecureRandomAlgorithm can be used to specify the SecureRandom number generation algorithm used for secure seeding with implementations of JDK 8 or higher when RandomGenerator is set to secureRandom.
- The CryptoProtocolVersion connection property has been added to the driver. This property can be used to avoid vulnerabilities associated with SSLv3 and SSLv2, including the POODLE vulnerability.
- Support for result set holdability has been added to the driver.
CHANGED BEHAVIOR
- Java SE 7 has reached the end of its product life cycle and will no longer
receive generally available security updates. As a result, the drivers will no
longer support JVMs that are version Java SE 7 or earlier. Support for
distributed versions of Java SE 7 and earlier will also end, including
IBM SDK (Java Edition).*
- Added the RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean connection property. Note that the
driver no longer registers the Statement Pool Monitor as a JMX MBean by default.
You must set RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean to true to register the Statement Pool Monitor and manage statement pooling with standard JMX API calls.*
