Oct2020-SP4 Bugfix Release (11.39.15)
ODBC Driver
* When connecting using a DSN (Data Source Name), information about
the data source is retrieved from the ODBC.INI file. Now we also
get the location of the LOGFILE from this file. The logfile can be
used to log all calls to the MonetDB ODBC driver to a file which
can be used for debugging.
* The ODBC driver now only passes on information about HUGEINT
columns as HUGEINT when the application has indicated interest by
querying about the SQL_HUGEINT extension type using the
SQLGetTypeInfo function or by specifying the type in a call to
SQLSetDescField. Otherwise the driver silently translates the
HUGEINT type to BIGINT. This means that most application will see
BIGINT columns when the server produced a HUGEINT column and only
give an error if the value in the HUGEINT column didn't fit into a
BIGINT.
