============================================================================== Magnitude Simba Cassandra ODBC Data Connector Release Notes ==============================================================================
The release notes provide details of enhancements, features, known issues, and workflow changes in Simba Cassandra ODBC Connector 2.6.13, as well as the version history.
2.6.13 =======================================================================
Released 2022-12-22
Enhancements & New Features
[CASSO-883] Updated security vulnerability support
The connector has been updated with minor improvements to address security vulnerabilities.
Updated OpenSSL support
The connector now uses OpenSSL 1.1.1s for encryption of data. Previously, the connector used OpenSSL 1.1.1q.
Resolved Issues The following issue has been resolved in Simba Cassandra ODBC Connector 2.6.13.
- [CASSO-891] The connector does not save DSN information without a saved password.
Known Issues The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in the data source, the connector, or an application.
INSERT statement fails when inserting multiple rows and binding the DEFAULT value in the first row.
When inserting multiple rows in a single SQL statement and binding the DEFAULT value in the first row, the INSERT statement fails. As a workaround, use NULL instead of DEFAULT.
Non-key virtual table columns are not nullable.
Cassandra does not support null values in collections. The connector reports non-key columns in virtual tables as not nullable.
On Cassandra 2.1.x, the connector returns incorrect values for VARINT (SQL_NUMERIC) columns.
This is due to a limitation in the Datastax cpp-driver. For more information, see the following link: https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/CPP-419
If a user-defined type is the primary key of a table, none of the primary key’s fields can be null when it is used in an INSERT statement.
A column name collision occurs if a map contains two user-defined types with identical field names, that is, if the map’s key and value are the same user-defined type.
[CASSO-752] Attempting to perform INSERT or UPDATE queries on tables with columns of type TUPLE or UDT (when ReturnUdtAsString is enabled) results in the connector returning an error.
