    • Fixed segmentation fault with PDOStatement::getColumnMeta() when the supplied column index is out of range (issue #224).

    • Fixed issue with the unsupported attribute PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT in connection (issue #65).

Limitations

Known Issue

  • When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
    • unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostics information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
    • Because of this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples here
