Connector/ODBC crashed with Crystal Reports. (Bug#23816)

For a stored procedure that returns multiple result sets, Connector/ODBC returned only the first result set. (Bug#16817)

The driver was using mysql_odbc_escape_string(), which does not handle the NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES SQL mode. Now it uses mysql_real_escape_string(), which does. (Bug#9498)

SQLColumns() did not handle many of its parameters correctly, which could lead to incorrect results. The table name argument was not handled as a pattern value, and most arguments were not escaped correctly when they contained non-alphanumeric characters. (Bug#8860)

If there was more than one unique key on a table, the correct fields were not used in handling SQLSetPos(). (Bug#10563)

Connector/ODBC now supports using SSL for communication. This is not yet exposed in the setup GUI, but must be enabled through configuration files or the DSN. (Bug#12918)

When using stored procedures, making a SELECT or second stored procedure call after an initial stored procedure call, the second statement will fail. (Bug#27544)

When retrieving data from columns that have been compressed using COMPRESS(), the retrieved data would be truncated to 8KB. (Bug#20208)

When retrieving TIME columns, C/ODBC would incorrectly interpret the type of the string and could interpret it as a DATE type instead. (Bug#25846)

On 64-bit systems, some types would be incorrectly returned. (Bug#26024)

Using DataAdapter, Connector/ODBC may continually consume memory when reading the same records within a loop (Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2 only). (Bug#20459)
