Release Candidate for Microsoft Drivers 5.2.0 for PHP for SQL Server Released!

  • Artikel

Hi all,

We are excited to announce a release candidate for SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers. The driver now supports basic CRUD functionalities with the Always Encrypted feature.

Notable items about 5.2.0-RC:

Added

  • Added support for Ubuntu 17 (requires ODBC 17 preview)
  • Added support for Debian 9 (requires ODBC 17 preview)

Fixed

  • Issue [#555] - Hebrew strings truncation (requires ODBC 17 preview)
  • Issue [#615] - Added error handling when fetching varchar(max) as a stream with Always Encrypted
  • Adjusted precisions for numeric/decimal inputs with Always Encrypted
  • Fixed bugs when binding parameters with Always Encrypted
  • Fixed warnings as per Prefast code analysis

Limitations

  • In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. The subsequent locale setting will not work
  • Always Encrypted functionalities are only supported using MSODBC 17 preview
    • ODBC binaries for macOS available upon request
  • MSODBC 17 preview msodbcsql.msi only works for Windows10
  • Always Encrypted limitations
  • When using sqlsrv_query with Always Encrypted feature, SQL type has to be specified for each input (see here)
  • No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
  • Does not support non-UTF8 locales in Linux and macOS with Always Encrypted

Known Issues

  • Connection pooling on Linux doesn't work properly if the user uses the MSODBC17 preview
  • When pooling is enabled in Linux or MAC
    • unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and MAC) might not return proper diagnostics information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
    • due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples here
