As a result, you must have C/C++ runtime libraries of 16.1 or higher on
your machine.
* For Linux platforms, the compiler version has been upgraded to GCC 7.3.1.
As a result, you must have C/C++ runtime libraries of GCC 2.12 or higher on
your machine.
* For Solaris platforms, the compiler version has been upgraded to Oracle
Developer Studio 12.6. As a result, you must have C/C++ runtime libraries
of 12.6 or higher on your machine.
Debugging Symbols
------------------
The driver binaries now include debugging symbols that can be used for
diagnosing and debugging issues in the driver.
Support for Microsoft Fabric
----------------------------
The driver now provides read-write access to the Synapse Data Warehouse
endpoints of Microsoft Fabric. For more information, including limitations,
refer to the user's guide.
Available: 08.02.2150 (B3227, U3190)|04/14/2025
PKCS# 12 Files
--------------
The driver has been enhanced to support PKCS #12 files as keystore providers
for the Always Encrypted feature. PKCS #12 files can be stored locally on
the disk on any platform the driver supports. You can configure the driver
to use a PKCS #12 file using the new AE Keystore Location (AEKeyStoreLocation)
and AE Keystore Secret (AEKeyStoreSecret) connection options. Refer to the
user's guide for details.
JRE Requirement for the Installer
---------------------------------
The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or
higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the
installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential
security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE.
Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for
the most secure version of a JRE to be used.
Notes:
* This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest
driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
* The installer program cannot remove the already installed JRE files from the
install directory automatically. Remove them manually.
Entra ID Authentication Using Managed Identities
------------------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support Microsoft Entra ID authentication using
managed identities for Azure resources. You can configure this feature using
the updated Authentication Method (AuthenticationMethod) and User Name
(LogonID) options.
Entra ID Authentication Using Service Principal Users
----------------------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support Microsoft Entra ID authentication using
service principal users. You can configure this feature using the updated
Authentication Method (AuthenticationMethod), User Name (LogonID) and Password
(Password) options.
TLSv1.3 Support
---------------
The driver has been enhanced to support the TLSv1.3 cryptographic protocol
using SQL Server 2022. To enable TLSv1.3 encryption, set the Encryption Method
(EncryptionMethod) option to the new value 8 (Strict).
ODBC Cursor Library
-------------------
The product package no longer includes the ODBC Cursor library file
(odbccurs.so) because it has some known security vulnerabilities that
could potentially expose you to security risks.
Note: The installer program cannot remove the ODBC Cursor library file
automatically while installing a new version of the driver. Remove it
manually.
SSL Enhancement (3.0.9)
-----------------------
Note: OpenSSL library 3.0.9 has been replaced with a later version. For
the latest information about the third-party components that are installed
with the product, refer to the ODBC Third-party Components Compatibility
Matrix on the DataDirect Product Life Cycle page:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-life-cycle/page/topics/
datadirect_life_cycle/datadirect-product-life-cycle.html.
The default version of the OpenSSL library has been upgraded to version
3.0.9, which fixes the security vulnerabilities listed on the following
page: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities-3.0.html
This upgrade is available in build 08.02.0595 of the following OpenSSL
library files:
- On AIX: libivopenssl30.a (32-bit) and libddopenssl30.a (64-bit)
- On other platforms: ivopenssl30.so [.sl] (32-bit) and ddopenssl30.so (64-bit)
Notes:
* The driver supports the following OpenSSL 3.0 providers: Default and
FIPS.
* The FIPS provider is supported only on the following platforms:
Windows 64-bit, Linux 64-bit, and AIX 64-bit.
* The following connection options have been added to configure the
driver to use OpenSSL 3.0: Enable FIPS (EnableFIPS), OpenSSL Config File
(OpenSSLConfigFile), and OpenSSL Provider Path (OpenSSLProviderPath).
For more information on the new connection options and how to configure
the driver to use OpenSSL 3.0, refer to the user's guide.
* When installing a new version of the product, the installer program will
automatically replace the OpenSSL 1.1.1 library files with the OpenSSL 3.0
library files in the install directory, which will impact all the DataDirect
ODBC drivers installed on a machine. Therefore:
- If you are using multiple 8.0 drivers, upgrade all your drivers to the latest
version.
- If you are using both 8.0 and 7.1 versions of the driver, copy the xxtls27.dll
file to a different location before installing a new version of the 8.0 driver.
Copy it back to the install directory once the installation is complete.
End of Support for OpenSSL 1.1.1
--------------------------------
The product no longer includes version 1.1.1 of the OpenSSL library.
The library will reach the end of its product life cycle in September 2023
and will not receive any security updates after that. Note that continuing
to use the library after September 2023 can potentially expose you to
security vulnerabilities.
Note: As a result of this change, when installing a new version of the product,
the installer program will automatically remove version 1.1.1 of the library
from the install directory, which will impact all the DataDirect ODBC drivers
installed on a machine.
Installer Upgrade
-----------------
The installer program has been enhanced to use a more modern and
secure technology. As a result of this enhancement:
* The default installation location has been changed to:
- For the 32-bit driver:
/opt/Progress/DataDirect/ODBC_32bit
- For the 64-bit driver:
/opt/Progress/DataDirect/ODBC_64bit
* The new installer program does not support upgrading installations
made with earlier versions of the installer. You will need to
uninstall the existing installation and reinstall with the new
installer to resume upgrades in the same directory.
* The existing data sources cannot be used until they are
updated to point to the new installation location. To learn
how to update them, refer to the best practices documented
at https://community.progress.com/s/.
End of Support for OpenSSL 1.0.2
--------------------------------
The product no longer includes version 1.0.2 of the OpenSSL library.
The library has reached the end of its product life cycle and is not
receiving security updates anymore. Note that continuing to use the
library could potentially expose you to security vulnerabilities.
Note: As a result of this change, when installing a new version of the
driver, the installer program will automatically remove version 1.0.2
of the library from the install directory.
Fetching Collation Sequence from the Server When Executing
SQLGetInfo(SQL_COLLATION_SEQ)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When executing SQLGetInfo(SQL_COLLATION_SEQ) against:
* SQL Server version 2005 and later, the driver now fetches the collation
sequence from the server. It earlier returned ISO 8859-1 as the collation
sequence for every fetch.
* SQL Server versions prior to 2005, the driver continues to return ISO 8859-1
as the collation sequence.
Support for TLS/SSL Server Authentication in a Serverless Environment
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support TLS/SSL server authentication for
the applications deployed in a serverless environment. The driver stores the
TLS/SSL certificates in memory and lets applications use TLS/SSL server
authentication without storing the truststore file on the disk. To use this
enhancement, specify the content of the certificate in the refreshed
Trust Store (Truststore) connection option or the new
SQL_COPT_INMEMORY_TRUSTSTORECERT pre-connection attribute. Refer to the
user's guide for details.
Password Encryption Tool
------------------------
A Password Encryption Tool, called ddencpwd, is now included with the product
package. It encrypts passwords for secure handling in connection strings and
odbc.ini files. At connection, the driver decrypts these passwords and passes
them to the data source as required.
Returning SQL_SERVER_NAME With SQLGetInfo
-----------------------------------------
The driver has been updated to return the server name to which you are
connected for the value of SQL_SERVER_NAME when executing SQLGetInfo. In
earlier versions of the driver, the value returned for SQL_SERVER_NAME
would be the setting of the Host Name (HostName) connection option. The
driver will now return the server name string that it receives from the server
when connecting to the database as the value for SQLGetInfo(SQL_SERVER_NAME).
Keep Active Connections Enhancement
-----------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced with the new Keep Connection Active
(KeepConnectionActive) and Socket Idle Time (SocketIdleTimeCheckInterval)
connection options. Together, these options provide you with a method to keep
active idle connections to Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics through
Azure SQL Gateway, or to databases that enforce timeouts for inactivity.
Enable Replication User feature for IDENTITY columns
----------------------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support inserts into SQL Server IDENTITY
columns in replication scenarios. Either the Enable Replication User
(EnableReplicationUser) connection option or the SQL_COPT_REPLICATION_USER
connection attribute (numeric value 1080) can be used to allow inserts into
IDENTITY columns. When the replication user feature is set to 1 (Enabled),
explicit values can be inserted into IDENTITY columns defined as
NOT FOR REPLICATION. If different values are specified for the
Enable Replication User option and the SQL_COPT_REPLICATION_USER attribute,
driver behavior is determined by the value of the SQL_COPT_REPLICATION_USER
attribute.
XA Interface Support
--------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support distributed transactions.
It implements the XA interface to enable support for distributed transactions.
For details, refer to the user's guide.
Documentation
-------------
Any product package made available after February 9, 2021 will not include the
HTML help system or user's guide PDF. The full documentation set, including
these items, is available from the Progress Information Hub:
https://docs.progress.com/category/datadirect-microsoft-sql-server
While the product packages will not include these documentation items, the
installation Help directory will provide an HTML redirect for direct access
to the HTML help.
Note that all Progress DataDirect for ODBC documentation has been migrated to
the Progress Information Hub:
https://docs.progress.com/
Access Token Authentication Support
-----------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support access token authentication
programmatically with the use of a pre-connection attribute
SQL_COPT_SS_ACCESS_TOKEN. Refer to the user's guide for more information.
sp_describe_undeclared_parameters Support
-----------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to use sp_describe_undeclared_parameters, a SQL
Server system stored procedure, to fetch parameter metadata. With this
enhancement, the driver can return more accurate parameter metadata for both
simple and complex queries. However, it cannot determine if a parameter allows
NULL values; hence, it returns SQL_NULLABLE_UNKNOWN for the nullable fields.
Note that the driver does not call sp_describe_undeclared_parameters to fetch
parameter metadata when Always Encrypted functionality is enabled
(ColumnEncryption=Enabled).
Setting Unicode Encoding Type for Connections
---------------------------------------------
The Driver Manager for UNIX/Linux has been enhanced to support setting the
Unicode encoding type for applications on a per connection basis. By passing a
value for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute using SQLSetConnectAttr, your
application can specify the encoding at connection. This allows your
application to pass both UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded strings with a single
environment handle.
The valid values for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute are SQL_DD_CP_UTF8
and SQL_DD_CP_UTF16. The default value is SQL_DD_CP_UTF8.
This enhancement is available in build 08.02.0449 of the driver manager.
Always Encrypted Support
------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support the Always Encrypted feature. Beginning
with SQL Server 2016, Azure SQL and SQL Server databases support Always
Encrypted, which allows sensitive data to be stored on the server in an
encrypted state such that the data can only be decrypted by an authorized
application. The following are highlights of this enhancement:
* The driver detects all supported native data types in encrypted columns and
transparently encrypts values bound to SQL parameters or decrypts values
returned in results and output parameters.
* The driver supports configurable caching of column encryption keys for
improved performance.
* The driver supports using Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault as
keystore providers.
Note: Support for Always Encrypted will not be released simultaneously for all
UNIX/Linux platforms. Always Encrypted functionality will be available
beginning in build 08.02.0244 of the driver.
You can enable support for Always Encrypted using the new ColumnEncryption,
AEKeystorePrincipalId, AEKeystoreClientSecret, and AEKeyCacheTTL connection
options. Refer to the user's guide for more information.
AllowedOpenSSLVersions
----------------------
Determines which version of the OpenSSL library file the driver uses for data
encryption when multiple versions are installed with the product. For example,
when specifying a value of 1.1.1 (AllowedOpenSSLVersions=1.1.1), the driver
uses the 1.1.1 version of the library stored in the /lib subdirectory. Refer to
the user's guide for more information.
Changes for 8.0.2 GA
Support for Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics and
Microsoft Analytics Platform System
--------------------------------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to transparently connect to Microsoft Azure
Synapse Analytics and Microsoft Analytics Platform System data sources. For more
information about supported features and functionality, refer to "Support for
Azure Synapse Analytics and Analytics Platform System" in the user's guide.
HTTP Proxy Support
------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support for connecting to a proxy server
through an HTTP connection. HTTP proxy support is configurable with five new
connection options: ProxyHost, ProxyMode, ProxyPassword, ProxyPort,
and ProxyUser.
EnableServerSideCursors Connection Option
--------------------------------------------
The new EnableServerSideCursors connection option allows you to determine
which server-side cursors are enabled for the data source.
Azure AD Authentication
-----------------------
The driver is enhanced to support Azure Active Directory authentication
(Azure AD). Azure AD authentication is an alternative to SQL Server
Authentication for Azure SQL Database that allows you to centrally manage
identities of database users. To enable Azure AD authentication, specify the
new 13 (Active Directory Password) value for the Authentication Method
connection option (AuthenticationMethod=13). In addition, specify the
respective values in the connection string or data source definition for the
HostNameInCertificate, Truststore, ValidateServerCertificate, LogonID and
Password connection options. Refer to "Configuring Azure Active Directory
Authentication" in the user's guide for more information.
Always On Availability Groups
-----------------------------
The driver has been enhanced to support Always On Availability Groups.
Introduced in SQL Server 2012, Always On Availability Groups is a
replica-database environment that provides a high-level of data availability,
protection, and recovery. To support this enhancement, the following updates
have been made to the driver:
- The new MultiSubnetFailover option allows the driver to attempt parallel
connections to all the IP addresses associated with an availability group
listener when the primary listener is unavailable. This offers improved
response time over traditional failover, which attempts connections to
alternate servers one at a time. This option must be enabled for failover
to work properly in an Always On environment.
- The HostName option has been updated to support the virtual network
name (VNN) of the availability group listener as a valid value. To connect
to an Always On Availability group, you must specify the VNN using this
option.
- The new ApplicationIntent option allows you to control whether the driver
requests read-only routing, thereby improving efficiency by reducing the
workload on read-write nodes.
UTF-8 Support in the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini Files
----------------------------------------------------
The driver and Driver Manager have been enhanced to support UTF-8 encoding in
the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files.
Default Value for CryptoProtocolVersion
---------------------------------------
The default value for CryptoProtocolVersion has been updated to TLSv1.2,
TLSv1.1,TLSv1. This change improves the security of the driver by employing
only the most secure cryptographic protocols as the default behavior.
Configuring Data Sources
Data sources are stored in the system information file (typically,
odbc.ini). For details on configuring this file, see the PROGRESS DATADIRECT
FOR ODBC FOR SQL SERVER DRIVER USER'S GUIDE AND REFERENCE.
Driver WorkAround Options
Progress DataDirect has included non-standard connection options (workarounds)
for the driver that enable you to take full advantage of packaged ODBC-enabled
applications requiring non-standard or extended behavior. Refer to the chapter
"WorkAround options" in THE PROGRESS DATADIRECT FOR ODBC DRIVERS REFERENCE for a
description of these options.
Notes, Known Issues, and Restrictions
Specifying values for the same connection option multiple times
---------------------------------------------------------------
The driver does not support specifying values for the same connection
option multiple times in a connection string or DSN. If a value is
specified using the same attribute multiple times or using both
long and short attributes, the connection may fail or the driver may
not behave as intended.
For SSL Users
-------------
When trying to connect to a database using SSL encryption, you may
receive an error message similar to: "PRNG not seeded". This is because
certain versions of some operating systems do not generate truly random
numbers necessary for encryption. For more information about this error
and available patches, please refer to the Web site:
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#USER1
ODBC Development on UNIX and Linux Platforms
--------------------------------------------
All of the Release 8.0 Core Components (header files, etc.) needed for
development of ODBC applications on UNIX and Linux are installed into
the /include directory created by the product installer.
Please read the notices.txt file in the installation directory for
licensing information regarding the ODBC Core Components. Contact your
Progress DataDirect representative if you have any questions.
Developers using programming languages other than C++:
The DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager is a C++ shared library. The ODBC
Driver Manager can be used with any language that supports loading a
C++ shared library; however, if you are using a programming language
other than C++, you must take additional steps to ensure that the C++
libraries are initialized properly when loaded. If you are not using
C++, consult your compiler documentation for instructions on using C++
shared libraries with your application.
LANG Environment Setting on UNIX and Linux Platforms
----------------------------------------------------
A default installation of the product on UNIX and Linux assumes that
the value of the LANG environment setting is en_US. If your locale is
not set to en_US, the drivers may not return error messages properly.
In this case, you must create a symbolic link in the
/locale directory that has the same value as the LANG
environment setting. This link must point to the
/locale/en_US directory.
SQLColAttribute(s)
------------------
The column attributes 1001 and 1002, which were assigned as DataDirect-
specific attributes, were inadvertently used as system attributes by
the Microsoft 3.0 ODBC implementation. Applications using those
attributes must now use 1901 and 1902, respectively.
SQL_C_NUMERIC
-------------
Because of inconsistencies in the ODBC specification, users attempting
to use SQL_C_NUMERIC parameters must set the precision and scale values
of the corresponding structure and the descriptor fields in the
Application Parameter Descriptor.
For Developers Using IIS
------------------------
One of the most common connectivity issues encountered while using IIS
(Microsoft's Internet Information Server) concerns the use and settings
of the account permissions. If you encounter problems using DataDirect
drivers with an IIS server, refer to KnowledgeBase document number 4274
on the Progress DataDirect web site:
http://knowledgebase.datadirect.com.
Microsoft SQL Server Limitations
--------------------------------
Attempting to execute DDL statements that contain errors causes
an implicit rollback of the current transaction if executing in
manual commit mode. No warning occurs when this happens. This is a
Microsoft SQL Server limitation, and no driver workaround is available.
NOTE: Because the SQL Server Wire Protocol drivers do not have a way to
prepare statements, the driver does not send those statements to the
server until SQLExecute is called. PREPARE does not return any of the
normal errors that most of the drivers return. If, however, the user
requests information about result columns, the driver executes a Select
statement and returns warnings or errors when using SQLNumResultCols,
SQLDescribeCol, or SQLColAttributes.
Catalog Functions
-----------------
If you have problems with the catalog functions returning incorrect
data, you may need to upgrade your catalog stored procedures. Make
sure that you have installed the latest version of the stored
procedures, which are available from your database vendor. Refer to
your Microsoft SQL Server documentation for more information.
The SQL Server Wire Protocol drivers return stored procedure names with
the version number appended to them. For example, a procedure defined
as "proc1" will be returned as "proc1;1".
For AIX Users
------------------------------
Some IBM AIX C compilers, such as xlc 3.1.4, do not support the use
of C++ build binaries. C developers on AIX should consult their
compiler documentation and verify that their AIX C compiler supports
the use of C++ shared libraries or the application could be unstable.
Unexpected behavior may occur randomly if the LIBPATH variable
exceeds 178 characters.
