eGenix mxODBC Distribution 3.0.1 GA

eGenix is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the eGenix mxODBC Distribution 3.0.1 for Python.

Introduction

The eGenix mxODBC Distribution is an add-on distribution for our eGenix mx Base Distribution.

It comes with mxODBC, our universal ODBC database interface for Python.

News

mxODBC 3.0.1 is a patch-level release and includes the following updates:

Enhanced SQL Server ODBC driver support:

  • work-around for using Unicode parameters together with cursor.executedirect()
  • bug-fix for cursor.stringformat setting when used with cursor.executedirect()
  • improved compatibility by using non-padding character binding codes

Documentation:

  • added more documentation and an example of how to use the new connection and cursor error handlers.

    Error handlers were introduced in mxODBC 3.0.0 and allow for much greater control over how low-level errors in the interface are to be dealt with.

For the full set of changes please check the mxODBC change log.

Upgrading

You are encouraged to upgrade to this latest mxODBC release, especially if you are using MS SQL Server as database server.
