Changelog

0.56.2

• Support U16Str and Option<U16Str> as input parameter via IntoParameter trait.

0.56.1

• Fix: Statement::complete_async is now annotated to be only available in ODBC version 3.8. This missing annotation prevented compilation then specifying ODBC version 3.5.

0.56.0

• CursorRow::get_variadic is now private as it was always intended to be a private implemenatation detail.
• Statement::set_num_rows_fetched has been split into Statement::set_num_rows_fetched and Statement::unset_num_rows_fetched in order to reduce the amount of unsafe code a bit.
• Adds Cursor::more_results to support statements which return multiple result sets.

0.55.0

• Added support for login timeout, i.e. the user can now explicitly specify a time in seconds after which a login attempt to a datasource should fail. This triggered two breaking changes:

• Environment::connect_with_connection_string now takes an additional argument ConnectionOptions.

• Environment::connect now takes an additional argument ConnectionOptions.

Migration is trivial, by supplying ConnectionsOptions::default() as the last argument.

0.54.3

• Added catalog function foreign_keys to Connection and Preallocated.

0.54.2

• CursorRow::get_text or Cursor::get_binary now panics if the SQLGetData implementation of the ODBC driver reports inconsistent indicator for the same cell. Previously it could have looped forever.

0.54.1

• Introduced common implementation VarCell for VarBinary and VarChar.

0.54.0

• Changed checking of truncated values after fetch. The new method checks the indicator buffer, rather than relying on diagnostics. This means Error::TooManyDiagnostics can no longer occurr.

0.53.0

• Better error messages if checking for truncation fails due to too many diagnostics
• Removed deprecated
  • BufferDescription
  • BufferKind
• Removed deprecated names
  • AnyColumnBuffer
  • AnyColumnSliceMut
  • AnyColumnView
  • RowSetCursor
  • RowSetCursorPolling

0.52.4

• Improved support for fetching parameter descriptions of prepared statements:
  • Introduced method Prepared::num_params
  • Introduced method Prepared::parameter_descriptions

0.52.3

• Introduced method Prepared::column_inserter to replace Prepared::any_column_inserter.
• Introduced method Prepared::into_column_inserter to replace Prepared::into_any_column_inserter.

0.52.2

• Introduced associated method Item::buffer_desc to replace Item::BUFFER_KIND.

0.52.1

• BufferKind and BufferDescription are now unified to BufferDesc.
• Renamed RowSetCursor into BlockCursor.
• Fix: ColumnarBulkInserter::new now resets all parameters on the statement handle in case it fails. This prevents accessing the bound parameters on a borrowed statement handle after the constructor failed, at which point their valididty is no longer guaranteed.

0.52.0

• sys::Timestamp is now directly supported with get_data.
• InputParameter is now implying the new CElement trait.

0.51.0

• Removed ColumnProjection trait.
• ColumnBuffer now has generic associated type View instead of inheriting from ColumnProjection.
• WithDataType can now also be used to annotate the Relational type on Timestamp.
• WithDataType<Timestamp> now implements OutputParameter.
• Minimum Rust version is 1.65.0

0.50.3

• Fix: There has been an issue with fetching text values using get_text from a db2 System. db2 is not part of the test suite (yet?), so not entirely sure that it is truly gone yet, but chances are its fixed.
• Implement ColumnarBuffer for Vec<T>.

0.50.2

• TextBufferRowSet::for_cursor now applies the upper bound column size limits also to buffers if the metadata indicates a size of 0. This allows e.g. fetching values from Microsoft SQL Server columns with type VARCHAR(max).

0.50.1

• Updated documentation for BufferDescription and DataType.

0.50.0

• Fetching diagnostic records now starts with a message buffer size of 512 instead of 0 in order to recduce calls to SQLGetDiagRec.

Breaking

• SqlResult has now new variants SqlResult::NoData and SqlResult::NeedData.
• SqlResult::into_result_with_trunaction_check has been replaced by SqlResult::into_result_with.
• handles::Environment::driver_connect now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.
• handles::Environment::drivers_buffer_fill now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.
• handles::Environment::drivers_buffer_len now returns SqlResult<(i16, i16)> instead of SqlResult<Option<(i16, i16)>>.
• handles::Environment::data_source_buffer_len now returns SqlResult<(i16, i16)> instead of SqlResult<Option<(i16, i16)>>.
• handles::Connection::execute now returns now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.
• handles::Connection::exec_direct now returns now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.
• handles::Statement::fetch now returns now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.
• handles::Statement::put_binary_batch now returns now returns SqlResult<()> instead of SqlResult<bool>.

Non Breaking

• Reserve an extra word (2 Bytes) when querying Catalog length in order to compensate for an of by one error in PostgreSQL driver when using wide character encoding. The issue would have resulted in the last letter being replaced with \0 in previous versions.

0.49.0

• No breaking changes. Messed up setting version. Should have been 0.48.1 😅.
• Asynchronous execution of one shot queries using Connection::execute_polling.
• Asynchronous bulk fetching of results using RowSetCursorPolling.

0.48.0

• Both Preallocated::row_count and Prepared::row_count now return Option<usize> instead of isize.

0.47.0

• Support getting number of rows affected by INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
  • New method Preallocated::row_count
  • New method Prepared::row_count
• TextRowSet::from_max_str_lens now takes IntoIterator<Item=usize> instead of Iterator<Item=usize>.
• trait method RowSetBuffer::bind_to_cursor has been renamed to bind_columns_to_cursor and now takes a StatementRef instead of a Cursor. This change is unlikely to affect user code, as so far I know all downstream crates use the provided RowSetBuffer implementations and do not implement their own versions.

0.46.0

• Minimal support for asynchronous code in the handle module.
• SqlResult has a new variant SqlResult::StillExecuting.
• New function Statement::set_async_enable can be used to enable polling for statements.
• Functions returning Option<SqlResult<_>> now return SqlResult<Option<_>> or SqlResult<bool> in order to allow for top level asynchronous code to build on the same abstraction as the synchronous code.

Since most users would not engage with the unsafe functions of the handle module their code should be unaffected.

0.45.1

• TextRowSet::for_cursor now only performs a faliable allocation, if no upper bound for string length is specified. This has been changed to remidy performance regressions, but still have the faliable allocation in situation there it could likely occurr.

0.45.0

• Add Connection::into_prepared to allow for prepared queries to take ownership of the connection.
• Prepared::describe_param now requires an exclusive reference
• Remove Prebound.

0.44.3

• Add NullableSliceMut::set_cell

0.44.2

• Add Bit::from_bool.

0.44.1

• Add ColumnarBulkInserter::capacity.

0.44.0

• All methods on the ResultSetMetaData trait now require exclusive (&mut) references.
• The trait BorrowMutStatement has been replaced by AsStatementRef.
• ColumnarBulkInserter is now generic over statement ownership.
• It is now possible to create a bulk inserter which just borrows a prepared statement, rather than taking ownership of it. Use Prepared::any_column_inserter to do so. This is useful for dynamically growing the capacity of the bound array parameters. So far users were forced to create a new ColumnarBulkInserter to do so. This is still true, but creating a new ColumnarBulkInserter now longer implies that a new prepared statement has to be created.

0.43.0

• BoundInputSlice, TextColumnSliceMut and BinColumnSliceMut now only track the lifetime of the statement. The do no longer need to track the lifetime of the Connection anymore.

0.42.0

• Removed TextColumn::set_max_len as resize_max_str_len can do everything the former can and does it better.
• ColumnBuffer and TextRowSet can no longer be used to insert data into the database. It can now only be used to receive data. This is due to different invariants which must hold true for input and output buffers. The new ColumnarBulkInserter which can be constructed using into_any_column_inserter or into_text_inserter on a prepared statment closes this safety hole. It also allows for faster insertion into a database in case you transmit the data in several batches, because it does not require the user to rebind the parameter buffers in safe code. This significantly reduces the overhead for each batch.

0.41.0

• Refactored traits for passing parameters to Connection::execute. Should not break user syntax, though.
• Allow using fixed size paramters like i32 directly as output parameter without wrapping them into a Nullable first.
• Renamed TextColumnWriter::rebind into TextColumnWriter::resize_max_str
• Fast insertion into database using TextRowSet without rebinding parameter buffers for individual batches.

0.40.2

• Introduce alias for ColumnarAnyBuffer for ColumnarBuffer<AnyColumnBuffer>.

0.40.1

• Introduce feature iodbc. This features enables all features required for this crate to work with the IODBC driver manager.

  • narrow ODBC function calls
  • Use of odbc_version_3_5 symbols and declaration of ODBC API version 3.0.
  • Linking of upstream odbc-sys vs iodbc as opposed to plain odbc.

• Introduce ColumnDescription::new to allow for intantiating ColumnDescription in test cases without caring about wether SqlChar is u8 or u16.

0.40.0

• The fallibale allocations introduced for buffer_from_description had performance implications. Therfore the fallibale allocations are available to users of this library to try_buffer_from_description. buffer_for_description is now panicing again in case there is not enough memory available to allocate the buffers.

0.39.1

• Fixed an issue introduced in 0.39.1 there the terminating zero at the end of diagnostic messages has not been removed correctly.

0.39.0

• Support for checking for truncation after bulk fetch with: RowSetCursor::fetch_with_truncation_check.

0.38.0

• Add column buffer index to allocation errors to provide more context

0.37.0

• Add fallibale allocation of binary columns.
• Add fallibale allocation of text columns.

0.36.2

• Add AnyColumnViewMut::as_text_view.

0.36.1

• If setting the ODBC version fails with HY092 (Invalid attribute value), the user will now see an error message stating that likely the ODBC driver manager should be updated as it does not seem to support ODBC version 3.80. This gives the user a better starting point to fix the problem than just the diagnostic record.

0.36.0

• Introduce AnyColumnView::Text and AnyColumnView::WText now holds a TextColumnView instead of a TextColumnIt. To get the iterator you can just call iter() on the TextColumnView.
• Introduce AnyColumnView::Binary now holds a BinColumnView instead of a BinColumnIt.
• Add AnyColumnView::as_text_view.
• Add AnyColumnView::as_w_text_view.
• Add AnyColumnView::as_slice.
• Add AnyColumnView::as_nullable_slice.

The TextColumnView has been added in order to allow for faster bindings to arrow. As it gives access to the raw value buffer.

0.35.2

• Allow direct access to raw buffers of NullableSliceMut.

0.35.1

• Allow direct access to raw buffers of NullableSlice.
• ColumnWithIndicator::iter is no longer unsafe
• TextColumn::indicator_at is no longer unsafe
• TextColumn::value_at is no longer unsafe
• BinColumn::value_at is no longer unsafe.
• BinColumn::iter is no longer unsafe.

Thanks to @jorgecarleitao for providing all the input about safety and discovering performance
bottlenecks in the buffer interfaces.

0.35.0

• Better error for Oracle users, then trying to fetch data into 64 Bit Buffers. Added variant OracleOdbcDriverDoesNotSupport64Bit to error type in order to achieve this.

0.34.1

• Introduce feature odbc_version_3_5. Decalaring ODBC version 3.80 is still default behaviour. The flag has mainly been introduced to achieve compatibility with iODBC.

0.34.0

• Introduces narrow feature, allowing to compile this library against narrow ODBC function calls. This is optional now, but may become default behaviour in the future on non-windows platforms (because those typically have UTF-8 locale by default.)
• Removed public higher level methods directly dealing with utf16. Similar functions using unicode remain in the API. This has been done in order better support building against narrow ODBC function calls on some platforms while keeping complexity in check.
• ResultSetMetadata::col_name now returns Result<String, Error>.
• Environment::driver_connect now takes &mut OutputStringBuffer instead of Option<&mut OutputStringBuffer>. Use OutputStringBuffer::empty() instead of None.
• Removed Connection::tables now takes &str instead of Option<&str> arguments. Use "" instead of none
• Removed Environment::connect_utf16.
• Removed Preallocated::execute_utf16.
• Removed Connection::execute_utf16.
• Removed Connection::prepare_utf16.

0.33.1

• No changes (Release is currently tied to odbcsv)

0.33.0

• Uses Rust Edition 2021
• Mutable references &mut T are no longer implicitly bound as input / output Parameters, but must be wrapped with InOut instead. This has been done to make the decision between Out and InOut explicit, and also help to avoid binding parameters as InOut by accident. Shared references &T are still implicitly bound as input parameters however.
• Renamed Parameter to ParameterRef
• Renamed Parameter::bind_parameter to ParameterRef::bind_to
• Renamed Output to OutputParameter
• Renamed TextColumn::rebind to TextColumn::resize_max_str.

• Removed unsafe from trait HasDataType.
• Introduced Prepared::into_statement and CursorImpl::new to enable usecases not covered by safe abstractions yet.

0.31.2

• escape_attribute_value now also escapes + signs. This has been introduced because an authentication vs a PostgreSQL failed, if a password containing + has not been escaped.

0.31.1

• Fix: Some drivers (i.e. SqLite) report the size of column names in characters instead of bytes. This could cause truncation of names provided by colum_names if the supplied buffers were to short. Now the correct provided buffer is always resized to be large enough to hold the entire name, even for these drivers.

0.31.0

In order to avoid exposing the dependency to raw-window-handle in the public interface the way this library opens prompts for connecetion on windows platform has changed:

• Breaking change: Environment::driver_connect now automatically creates a message only window for the user on non-windows platform. DriverCompleteOption is now a simple C-Like enumeration.

• Fix: A lock has been added to Environment to ensure diagnostics for allocation errors always are handled by the correct thread.

0.28.0

• Add is_empty to NullableSlice and NullableSliceMut.
• Remove Statement::col_data_type. Method is still available via the Cursor trait, though.

0.27.1

• Fix: DataType::Float is now a struct variant holding a precision value which is either 24 for 32Bit Floating points or 53 for 64Bit Floating point numbers.

0.27.0

• Connection::columns and Preallocated::columns now return a Result<CursorImpl, Error> instead of a Result<Option<CursorImpl>, Error> since columns always returns a Cursor.
• These functions now return a Result<u16, Error> instead of a Result<usize, Error>:
  • Connection::max_catalog_name_len
  • Connection::max_schema_name_len
  • Connection::max_column_name_len

0.20.0

• Required at least Rust 1.51.0 to compile.

• Replaced VarCharRef with VarCharSlice.
• Replaced VarChar32 and VarChar512 with VarCharArray<LENGTH>.
