    Changed Behavior
    • The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE. Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for the most secure version of a JRE to be used.

      Notes:

      • This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide.
      • The installer program cannot remove the already installed JRE files from the install directory automatically. Remove them manually.
      • To install the 32-bit drivers on 64-bit Windows platforms and start the SQL engine service, the installer requires the 32-bit version of Java SE 11 or higher installed on your machine and defined on your path.
    • The product package no longer includes the ODBC Cursor library file (odbccurs.so) because it has some known security vulnerabilities that could potentially expose you to security risks.*
      Note: The installer program cannot remove the ODBC Cursor library file automatically while installing a new version of the driver. Remove it manually.
    • The installer program has been updated to no longer install common components for drivers that do not use them. As a result, the installer program no longer installs the OpenSSL library files (such as ivopenssl30.so, ddopenssl30.so, fips.so, and openssl.cnf) for the Google Analytics driver. If the files are not used by any other DataDirect driver on your machine, you can safely remove them from existing product directories. *
    Features
    • The driver supports SQL read-only access to Google Analytics endpoints. Refer to Supported SQL statements and extensions for details.
    • The driver supports Google Analytics Management API version 3.
    • The driver supports all ODBC Core and Level 1 functions and some Level 1 and Level 2 features. Refer to ODBC API and scalar functions for details.
    • The driver supports Google Analytics data types through data type inference. Refer to Data types for details.
    • The driver supports OAuth 2.0 authentication. Refer to OAuth 2.0 authentication for details.
    • The driver supports the handling of large result sets with paging and the Fetch Size (FetchSize) connection option. Refer to Fetch Size for details.
    • On Windows platforms, the driver includes the DataDirect ODBC Driver Configuration Manager for quick configuration and testing of your driver. This Configuration Manager allows you to:
      • Configure data sources
      • Generate and edit connection strings
      • Test connect data sources and connection strings
      • Execute SQL commands for testing;
      • Fetch OAuth tokens
      • Access connection option descriptions and the full product documentation
      Refer to Configuring data sources with the Configuration Manager and Generating connection strings with the Configuration Manager for details.
