Severity: PE71-0710250: BUX FIX Superseded patches: PE71-0710160: BUX FIX PE71-0701090: BUX FIX Patch PE71-0710250 ------------------ Platforms: All * Using the Fetch procedure with an XPACK buffer could result in a wrong XPACK encoding, causing ERROR 204 on XUNPACK. String variable names derived from column titles could become one character too long. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.9" Patch PE71-0710160 ------------------ Platforms: All * The SetParam procedure did not work as expected. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8" Patch PE71-0701090 ------------------ Platforms: All * Worked around an incompatibility in the FreeTDS ODBC driver that does not support the SQLDescribeParam() ODBC function. If the SQLDescribeParam() ODBC function is not supported, the data type of a SQL query parameter is unknown. The Odbc.DLL now handles this by binding the parameter at a later stage when the application defines the data type. As a consequence, the application should take care to provide an appropriate parameter data type if the FreeTDS ODBC driver is used, otherwise a data type mismatch error may result. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7" Installation: ------------- Please download the patch archive that corresponds with the installed release.
