バージョン5.1.3は、いくつかの新たなパフォーマンスの特徴とともに、JDBC-4.0 APIを実施したリリースです。
他の試作リリースと同様、このベータリリースは、製品レベルのシステムあるいはクリティカルなデータをもつシステム上ではインストールしないでください。いかなるソフトウェアの新バージョンをインストールする前でも、バックアップをとることが望ましいです。MySQL AB社は、ハイレベルの品質を保証すべく、非常に努力してきましたが、他のすべてのソフトウェア試作リリースにおいてと同様、バックアップによるデータの保護を実施してください。
以下は本製品の新たな特徴です。
* Setting "useBlobToStoreUTF8OutsideBMP" to "true" tells the driver to treat
[MEDIUM/LONG]BLOB columns as [LONG]VARCHAR columns holding text encoded in UTF-8 that has
characters outside the BMP (4-byte encodings), which MySQL server can't handle natively.
Set "utf8OutsideBmpExcludedColumnNamePattern" to a regex so that column names matching the
given regex will still be treated as BLOBs The regex must follow the patterns used for the
java.util.regex package. The default is to exclude no columns, and include all columns.
Set "utf8OutsideBmpIncludedColumnNamePattern" to specify exclusion rules to
utf8OutsideBmpExcludedColumnNamePattern". The regex must follow the patterns used for the
java.util.regex package.
* New methods on com.mysql.jdbc.Statement: setLocalInfileInputStream() and
getLocalInfileInputStream():
* setLocalInfileInputStream() sets an InputStream instance that will be used to send
data to the MySQL server for a "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" statement rather than a
FileInputStream or URLInputStream that represents the path given as an argument to the
statement.
This stream will be read to completion upon execution of a "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE"
statement, and will automatically be closed by the driver, so it needs to be reset before
each call to execute*() that would cause the MySQL server to request data to fulfill the
request for "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE".
If this value is set to NULL, the driver will revert to using a FileInputStream or
URLInputStream as required.
* getLocalInfileInputStream() returns the InputStream instance that will be used to
send data in response to a "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" statement.
This method returns NULL if no such stream has been set via
setLocalInfileInputStream().
* The driver now connects with an initial character set of "utf-8" solely for the purposes
of authentication to allow usernames and database names in any character set to be used in
the JDBC URL.
* Errors encountered during Statement/PreparedStatement/CallableStatement.executeBatch()
when "rewriteBatchStatements" has been set to "true" now return BatchUpdateExceptions
according to the setting of "continueBatchOnError".
If "continueBatchOnError" is set to "true", the update counts for the "chunk" that were
sent as one unit will all be set to EXECUTE_FAILED, but the driver will attempt to
process the remainder of the batch. You can determine which "chunk" failed by looking at
the update counts returned in the BatchUpdateException.
If "continueBatchOnError" is set to "false", the update counts returned will contain all
updates up-to and including the failed "chunk", with all counts for the failed "chunk"
set to EXECUTE_FAILED.
Since MySQL doesn't return multiple error codes for multiple-statements, or for
multi-value INSERT/REPLACE, it is the application's responsibility to handle determining
which item(s) in the "chunk" actually failed.
* Statement.setQueryTimeout()s now affect the entire batch for batched statements, rather
than the individual statements that make up the batch.
The following features are new, compared to the 5.0 series of Connector/J:
* JDBC-4.0 ease-of-development features including auto-registration with the
DriverManager via the service provider mechanism, standardized Connection validity checks
and categorized SQLExceptions based on recoverability/retry-ability and class of the
underlying error.
* JDBC-4.0 standardized unwrapping to interfaces that include vendor extensions.
* Support for JDBC-4.0 XML processing via JAXP interfaces to DOM, SAX and StAX.
* JDBC-4.0 support for setting per-connection client information (which can be viewed in
the comments section of a query via "SHOW PROCESSLIST" on a MySQL server, or can be
extended to support custom persistence of the information via a public interface).
* Support for JDBC-4.0 NCHAR, NVARCHAR and NCLOB types.
* The driver will automatically adjust the server session variable "net_write_timeout"
when it determines its been asked for a "streaming" result, and resets it to the previous
value when the result set has been consumed. (The configuration property is named
"netTimeoutForStreamingResults", with a unit of seconds, the value '0' means the driver
will not try and adjust this value).
* Added experimental support for statement "interceptors" via the
com.mysql.jdbc.StatementInterceptor interface, examples are in
com/mysql/jdbc/interceptors. Implement this interface to be placed "in between" query
execution, so that it can be influenced (currently experimental).
* The data (and how it's stored) for ResultSet rows are now behind an interface which
allows us (in some cases) to allocate less memory per row, in that for "streaming" result
sets, we re-use the packet used to read rows, since only one row at a time is ever active.
* The driver now picks appropriate internal row representation (whole row in one buffer,
or individual byte[]s for each column value) depending on heuristics, including whether or
not the row has BLOB or TEXT types and the overall row-size. The threshold for row size
that will cause the driver to use a buffer rather than individual byte[]s is configured
by the configuration property "largeRowSizeThreshold", which has a default value of 2KB.
* Setting "rewriteBatchedStatements" to "true" now causes CallableStatements with
batched arguments to be re-written in the form "CALL (...); CALL (...); ..." to send the
batch in as few client-server round trips as possible.
This release also includes the following changes that are also present in Connector/J
5.0.8 (not yet released):
* FixedBUG#30550, executeBatch() would fail with an ArithmeticException and/or
NullPointerException when the batch had zero members and "rewriteBatchedStatements" was
set to "true" for the connection.
* Added two configuration parameters (both default to "false")
* blobsAreStrings - Should the driver always treat BLOBs as Strings specifically to
work around dubious metadata returned by the server for GROUP BY clauses?
* functionsNeverReturnBlobs - Should the driver always treat data from
functions returning BLOBs as Strings - specifically to work around
dubious metadata returned by the server for GROUP
BY clauses?
* FixedBUG#29106- Connection checker for JBoss didn't use same method parameters via
reflection, causing connections to always seem "bad".
* FixedBUG#30664- Note that this fix only works for MySQL server versions 5.0.25 and
newer, since earlier versions didn't consistently return correct metadata for functions,
and thus results from subqueries and functions were indistinguishable from each other,
leading to type-related bugs.
* FixedBUG#28972- DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo() for the types DECIMAL and NUMERIC will
return a precision of 254 for server versions older than 5.0.3, 64 for versions
5.0.3-5.0.5 and 65 for versions newer than 5.0.5.
* FixedBUG#29852- Closing a load-balanced connection would cause a ClassCastException.
* FixedBUG#27867- Schema objects with identifiers other than the connection character
aren't retrieved correctly in ResultSetMetadata.
* FixedBUG#28689- CallableStatement.executeBatch() doesn't work when connection property
"noAccessToProcedureBodies" has been set to "true".
The fix involves changing the behavior of "noAccessToProcedureBodies",in that the driver
will now report all paramters as "IN" paramters but allow callers to call
registerOutParameter() on them without throwing an exception.
* FixedBUG#27182- Connection.getServerCharacterEncoding() doesn't work for servers with
version >= 4.1.
* FixedBUG#27915- DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() doesn't contain SCOPE_* or
IS_AUTOINCREMENT columns.
* FixedBUG#30851, NPE with null column values when "padCharsWithSpace" is set to "true".
* Specifying a "validation query" in your connection pool that starts with "/* ping */"
_exactly_ will cause the driver to instead send a ping to the server and return a fake
result set (much lighter weight), and when using a ReplicationConnection or a
LoadBalancedConnection, will send the ping across all active connections.
* FixedBug#30892setObject(int, Object, int, int) delegate in PreparedStatmentWrapper
delegates to wrong method.
