Connector/ODBC 5.0.8 is the fourth BETA release.
This is an implementation and testing release, and is not designed for use within a production environment.
Functionality added or changed:
- Also made - SQL_DESC_NAMEonly fill in the name if there was a data pointer given, otherwise just the length.
- Fixed display size to be length if max length isn’t available. 
- Wildcards now support escaped chars and underscore matching (needed to link tables with underscores in access). 
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed binding using - SQL_C_LONG.
- Fixed using wrong pointer for - SQL_MAX_DRIVER_CONNECTIONSin- SQLGetInfo.
- Set default return to - SQL_SUCCESSif nothing is done for- SQLSpecialColumns.
- Fixed MDiagnostic to use correct v2/v3 error codes. 
- Allow SQLDescribeCol to be called to retrieve the length of the column name, but not the name itself. 
- Length now used when handling bind parameter (needed in particular for - SQL_WCHAR) - this enables updating char data in MS Access.
- Updated retrieval of descriptor fields to use the right pointer types. 
- Fixed hanlding of numeric pointers in SQLColAttribute. 
- Fixed type returned for - MYSQL_TYPE_LONGto- SQL_INTEGERinstead of- SQL_TINYINT.
- Fix size return from - SQLDescribeCol.
- Fixed string length to chars, not bytes, returned by SQLGetDiagRec.
