Changes Since 5.1.4 GA

  • Enhancements
    • The driver has been enhanced to comply with FIPS standards for data encryption. As part of this enhancement, the driver was tested with FIPS 140-3 enabled using a Red Hat OpenJDK 21 on a Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 instance. See FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) for details.
    • The new ManagedObjects connection property allows you to specify the managed objects that you want the driver to fetch metadata for. For details, see ManagedObjects
    • The new EnableAccessRequestHeader connection property allows you to enable the access request header for a connection to improve its performance and quality of service. For details, see EnableAccessRequestHeader
    • The new NamedIDBehavior config option allows you to determine whether the Name attribute of NamedID fields is exposed in the relational map. This option can be used to avoid "poor performing query" errors by reducing the size of result sets. For details, see "Poor Performing Query" Error Message and ConfigOptions.
    • The driver no longer registers the Statement Pool Monitor as a JMX MBean by default. To register the Statement Pool Monitor and manage statement pooling with standard JMX API calls, the new RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean connection property must be set to true. For details, see RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean.
  • Changed Behavior
    • The connection property SpyAttributes has been updated to exclude the attribute load=classname, which was previously used to load the driver specified by the given class name. See SpyAttributes for details.
    • The Interface Name connection property has been deprecated. The driver will continue to provide backward compatibility for it, but the current and newer versions of the driver will not use it for connections.
