Hi all,
We are excited to announce the technical preview for SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers support Debian Jessie as well. Both drivers have been built and tested on Debian 8.7. In addition, starting with this release, we support sql_variant type with limitations.
Notable items about 4.2.0-preview release,
Added
- Added support for sql_variant data type with limitation (issue #51 and issue #127)
- Support drivers on Debian Jessie (tested on Debian 8.7)
Fixed
- Increased Test Coverage to 75%
- Bug fixes after running static analysis
Limitation
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
Known Issues
- User defined data types
- 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
