Post-GA Product Announcements
The readme files will no longer be updated with product announcements and new
features after the General Availability (GA) of the product. For the latest
updates and enhancements, please refer to the release notes
(https://www.progress.com/datadirect-connectors/whats-new).
Requirements
* A supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM) must be defined on your system path.
* The installer program requires a JVM that is Java SE 11 or higher, including
Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
* The driver requires a JVM that is Java SE 8 or higher, including Oracle JDK,
OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
Installation Directory
The default installation directory for the driver is:
* Windows:
C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\JDBC
* UNIX/Linux:
/opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC
Note: For UNIX/Linux, if you do not have access to "/opt", your user's home
directory will take the place of this directory.
Data Source and Platform Support
For the latest data source and platform support information, refer to the
Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
Changes Since 6.0.0 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.
Changed Behavior
----------------
* 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.
Note: 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
Release 6.0.0 Features
The Progress DataDirect for JDBC for SAP HANA driver supports SQL read-write
access for JDBC applications to the SAP HANA database. The driver provides
access to data in SAP HANA that can be pulled into a data visualization tool to
get important insights into engineering operations. This functionality allows
seamless integration with third-party software and provides comprehensive
SQL support and JDBC standard connectivity to BI (Business Intelligence)
and ETL (Extract,Transform, Load) tools.
* Supports SQL read-write access to SAP HANA.
* Supports all JDBC Core functions.
* Supports the core SQL-92 grammar.
* Supports SAP HANA data types.
* Supports user ID and password authentication method with
SCRAM-SHA-256 mechanism.
* Supports TLS/SSL data encryption.
* Supports proxy connections with a proxy server.
* Supports the handling of large result sets with paging and the FetchSize
connection property.
* Supports returning parameter metadata for stored procedure arguments.
* Supports catalog API calls.
* Supports prepared statements and parameterized queries.
* Supports manual transactions for commit and rollback operations.
* Includes Interactive SQL. It is a command-line interface
that supports connecting your driver to a data source, executing SQL
statements, and retrieving results in a terminal. This tool provides a
method to quickly test your drivers in an environment that does not support
GUIs.
Notes, Known Problems, and Restrictions
The following are notes, known problems, and restrictions with release 6.0.0
of the driver.
Isolation level support
-----------------------
The driver supports only the READ_COMMITTED isolation level.
Data type support
------------------
The driver does not support the ST_Geometry and ST_Point data types.
LOB data type support
---------------------
The driver does not support write operations for LOB data types.
Parameter metadata
------------------
The parameter metadata (JDBC type, precision, and scale) is different from
the result set metadata for some data types due to server limitations.
Executing DataDirect Shell Script
---------------------------------
For Linux users: If you receive an error message when executing any
DataDirect for JDBC shell script, make sure that the file has EXECUTE
permission. To do this, use the chmod command. For example, to grant EXECUTE
permission to the testforjdbc.sh file, change to the directory containing
testforjdbc.sh and enter: chmod +x testforjdbc.sh
JDBC Methods
--------------
The following notes on JDBC methods apply generally to Progress DataDirect
for JDBC drivers. Additional information on driver support for the JDBC API
can be found in the "JDBC Support" section of the product user's guide.
* The DataDirect for JDBC drivers allow PreparedStatement.setXXX methods and
ResultSet.getXXX methods on Blob/Clob data types, in addition to the
functionality described in the JDBC specification. The supported conversions
typically are the same as those for LONGVARBINARY/LONGVARCHAR, except where
limited by database support.
* The DataDirect for JDBC drivers support retrieval of output parameters from
a stored procedure before all result sets and/or update counts have been
completely processed. When CallableStatement.getXXX is called, result sets
and update counts that have not yet been processed by the application are
discarded to make the output parameter data available. Warnings are
generated when results are discarded.
* The preferred method for executing a stored procedure that generates result
sets and update counts is using CallableStatement.execute(). If multiple
results are generated using executeUpdate, the first update count is
returned. Any result sets prior to the first update count are discarded. If
multiple results are generated using executeQuery, the first result set is
returned. Any update counts prior to the first result set are discarded.
Warnings are generated when result sets or update counts are discarded.
* The ResultSet methods getTimestamp(), getDate(), and getTime() return
references to mutable objects. If the object reference returned from any of
these methods is modified, re-fetching the column using the same method
returns the modified value. The value is only modified in memory; the
database value is not modified.
