MDAC 2.5 SDK - ODBC Desktop Database Drivers


 

What's New

The Desktop Database Drivers documentation was updated with current features, including ODBC support of Unicode format, for MDAC 2.1. For MDAC 2.5, which is released with Windows 2000, the driver setup online help has been enhanced with more accurate documentation but reduced in scope. The MDAC SDK (this guide) now contains the reference material for the Desktop Database Drivers. It has been expanded and reorganized along driver-specific issues.

The ExtendedAnsiSQL connection attribute, which was supported in MDAC 2.1, is now documented in "Using the ExtendedAnsiSQL Connection String Attribute."

The ODBC DAYNAME and MONTHNAME functions, which were introduced in ODBC 2.0, now are supported by the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers. For more information about these functions, see "Time, Date, and Interval Functions" in Appendix E of the ODBC Programmer's Reference, "Scalar Functions."
