What has changed? |
| 5.12.0 |
Added
- Support for PHP 8.3
- Support for Alpine 3.19
Removed
- Support for PHP 8.0
- Support for Ubuntu 18.04
- Support for Alpine 3.15
Fixed
- Update connection string keywords set function (#1484)
- Fix error throw for multiple result sets (#1485)
- Fix invalid precision error (#1497)
Limitations
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- No support for inout / output params when formatting decimal values
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. Attempting to set the locale after connecting will not work
- Always Encrypted requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server)
- Only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported. Custom Keystores are not yet supported
- Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted enabled, named parameters in subqueries are not supported
- Issue [#1050](https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/issues/1050) - With Always Encrypted enabled, insertion requires the column list for any tables with identity columns
- [Always Encrypted limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)
Known Issues
- This release requires ODBC Driver 17.4.2 or above. Otherwise, a warning about failing to set an attribute may be suppressed when using an older ODBC driver.
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS is not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.7
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
- unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic 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](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling) |

- When pooling is enabled in Linux or MAC
- unixODBC 2.3.1 (Linux) and unixODBC 2.3.4 (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 (https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Connection-Pooling-on-Linux-and-Mac) |
| 4.1.8preview |
[Added]
- Connection Resiliency now supported in Windows
- Connection pooling now works in MAC
[Fixed]
- Added a workaround for a bug in unixODBC 2.3.4 when connection pooling is enabled
- Fixed the issue in MAC such that the order of which drivers are loaded first no longer matters
- Fixed sqlsrv_num_rows() when the client buffered result is null (issue #330)
- Fixed compilation const char conversion warnings (issue #332)
[Known Issues]
- User defined data types and SQL_VARIANT |
| 4.1.7preview |
[Added]
- The early technical preview (ETP) with basic functionalities is now available on MAC OS X. Tested on OS versions El Capitan (OS X 10.11)
[Fixed]
- Fixed null returned when an empty string is set to an output parameter (issue #308)
- Fixed memory leaks in buffered result sets
- Fixed debug abort error when building the driver in debug mode with PHP 7.1
- Fixed string truncation when binding varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), and xml types (issue #231)
- Fixed clang compile errors
- Fixed fatal error when fetching empty nvarchar (issue #69)
- Fixed fatal error when calling sqlsrv_fetch() with an out of bound offset for SQLSRV_SCROLL_ABSOLUTE (issue #223)
[Known Issues]
- User defined data types and SQL_VARIANT
- In MAC OS X, if loading both sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv, the order matters (even when dynamically). For sqlsrv scripts, load sqlsrv.so first
- Connection pooling not working in MAC OS X |
