Version 1.9.3 of SQL Relay, the powerful connection pool, load balancer, query router, and database proxy, is now available.
This release has 2 main features:
- Support for PHP 8.1
- Support for Oracle 18 and 19
However, it does include some bug fixes as well:
- It is now possible to bind NULLs when using the ODBC backend to talk to MS SQL. This, apparently, didn't work in previous versions.
- Some SQLGetInfo()s were missing from the ODBC driver, which prevented it from working correcltly with specific apps, in conjunction with ODBC 3.8+, most notably the Oracle Heterogenous Agent. Those are now fixed.
- I had inadvertantly enabled some experimental code in the PostgreSQL backend. That's disabled now, and works correctly.
- The PostgreSQL front-end had bind-related trouble when used with a non-PostgreSQL backend due to various subtle bugs. Those are fixed now.
- In certain circumstances, SQL Relay had trouble binding date values when used with MySQL. That's also fixed.
If any of that sounds familiar to you, or if you need support for PHP 8.1 or Oracle 18+, give this release a try!
