Version 8.0.2
Enhancements
- The driver has been enhanced to include timestamp in the internal packet logs by default. If you want to disable the timestamp logging in packet logs, set PacketLoggingOptions=1. The internal packet logging is not enabled by default. To enable it, set EnablePacketLogging=1.
- The Driver Manager for UNIX/Linux has been enhanced to support setting the
Unicode encoding type for applications on a per connection basis. By passing
a value for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute using SQLSetConnectAttr,
your application can specify the encoding at connection. This allows your
application to pass both UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded strings with a single
environment handle.
The valid values for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute are
SQL_DD_CP_UTF8 and SQL_DD_CP_UTF16. The default value is SQL_DD_CP_UTF8.
Changed Behavior
- The following Windows platforms have reached the end of their product lifecycle
and are no longer supported by the driver:
- Windows 8.0 (versions 8.1 and higher are still supported)
- Windows Vista (all versions)
- Windows XP (all versions)
- Windows Server 2003 (all versions)
