MySQL AB - 2005.08.04

MySQL AB is pleased to announce our first Alpha release of the new Connector/ODBC v5. Connector/ODBC v5 is available now for MS Windows XP (x86-32bit) and Linux (x86-32bit) with other platforms to follow.

Connector/ODBC is our new ODBC driver and is designed to fully implement the latest ODBC specification including full support for descriptors and diagnostics. Developers interested in accessing features introduced into the latest MySQL server products should consider using Connector/ODBC at some point in the future.

This, Alpha, release begins the Alpha/Beta series of releases. This release contains the basic functionality required to use an ODBC driver;

* alloc handles * submit statements to the server * process results using SQLFetch and SQLGetData * free handles

This release is known to have problems working with some generic applications such as MS Access and this will be corrected in future Alpha releases. Please refer to the documentation included with this release for details on features supported and features to be supported.
