An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for psqlODBC provides the following fixes:

  • Update to 12.01.0000: * Fix the bug that causes "Error : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name". + Enclose the command part * Find_VSDir $vc_ver * with parentheses so that the subsequent * -ne "" * isn't considered to be a parameter. * Cope with the removal of pg_class.relhasoids in PG12 correctly when retrieving updatable cursors.
  • Changes in 12.00.0000: * Fix the bug that SQLGetDescField() for Field SQL_DESC_COUNT returns SQLINTEGER value which should be of type SQLSMALLINT. * SQLGetTypeInfo() filters SQL_TYPE_DATE, SQL_TYPE_TIME and SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP for ODBC 2.x applications. * Added support for scalar functions TIMESTAMPADD(), TIMESTAMPDIFF() and EXTRACT(). * The macro IS_NOT_SPACE() is used for not pointers but integers. * Fix a crash bug when SQLProcedureColumns() handles satisfies_hash_partition(). The proargmodes column of satisfies_hash_partition()'s pg_proc entry is not null but the proallargtypes column is null.

  • Changes in 11.01.0000: * Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(SQL_TIMEDATE_FUNCTIONS, ..). * Because the field 'relhasoids' was dropped in PG12, psqlodbc drivers would have some problems with PG12 servers. * Register drivers {PostgreSQL ANSI} and {PostgreSQL Unicode} during installation on 64bit Windows so that users could use the same connection strings in both x86 and x64 environments. * Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE, ..). * Fix a typo in SQLForeignKeys-ResultSet-Column. 'deferrablity' should be 'DEFERRABILITY'. * Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(.., SQL_NUMERIC_FUNCTIONS(SQL_SYSTEM_FUNCTIONS or SQL_STRING_FUNCTIONS, ..). * Bug fix: do not forget to set parameter numbers while handling escaped ODBC functions. * Fix test_connection() in setup.c so that settings of conn_settings and pqopt option are reflected properly.

  • Changes in 11.00.0000: * Remove obsolete maps pointed out. * Remove connSettings option and/or pqopt option from the OutConnectionString parameter of SQLDriverConnect() when each option doesn't exist in InConnectionString parameter. * The parameters should be cast because parameters of concat() function are variadic "any". * Add an alias DX of *Database* keyword for connection strings to aviod the use of "database" keyword which has a special meaning in some apps or middlewares. * Numeric items without precision are unlimited and there's no natural map between SQL data types. Add an option *Numeric(without precision) as* * Fix a bug that SQLSpecialColumns() returns oid/xmin incorrectly when a table does not exist.
  • Fix build with PostgreSQL 11 that does not have pg_config in the regular devel package anymore. (bsc#1166821)

  • Changes in 10.03.0000: * Put back the handling of lock_CC_for_rb variable. The variable lock_CC_for_rb should be held per connection. * Fix SQLGetTypeInfo() so that it filters SQL_TYPE_DATE, SQL_TYPE_TIME or SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP for ODBC 2.x applications. * Revise ConfigDSN() so that it handles the 4th parameter(lpszAttribues) correctly. * Fix a crash bug when handling error messages. Also modified some error messages. * Let SQLTables() or SQLTablePrivileges() show partition tables. * Fix build on Solaris defined(__SUNPRO_C) using Solaris Studio. * Reduce DB access to pg_class or pg_index by caching relhasoids, relhassubclass etc. It would improve the performance of SQLSetPos() or SQLBulkOperations() very much in some cases.

  • Changes in 10.02.0000: * It's safer to call setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") than calling setlocale(LC_ALL, "") * Avoid replacing effective notice messages. * Handle MALLOC/REALLOC errors while fetching tuples more effectively. * Make SQLSetPos(SQL_DELETE/SQL_REFRESH) more effective. Because queries calling currtid(2) like select .. from .. where ctid=currtid2(.., ..) cause Seq Scan, their execution may be very slow. It is better to execute queries using subqueries like select .. from .. where ctid=(select currtid2(.., ..)) because they cause Tid Scan. * Fix a crash bug in AddDeleted().
