The Visigenic ODBC for Macintosh SDK runs on Power Macintosh and 680x0 Macintosh versions, and is compatible with the 2.1 version for the ODBC Specification. These ReadMe notes provide installation information.
CONTENTS OF THE MEDIA FOR THE VISIGENIC ODBC FOR MACINTOSH SDK
There are two disks in the ODBC for Macintosh SDK package:
• Disk 1, the "ODBC Install" disk, has this Read Me document, and the essential ODBC files you need for your Macintosh--the ODBC Driver Manager, ODBC Configuration Manager, ODBC Cursor Library, and the ODBC Setup--for both the 680x0 and Power Macintosh as well as the ASLM 2.0 files.
• Disk 2, "ODBC Tools" disk, contains the ODBC programming interfaces and libraries. It also contains the ODBC Test application for testing and debugging ODBC drivers, as well as MPW C source code for a sample ODBC Driver, ODBC Setup and ODBC Translate library.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the ODBC for Macintosh SDK Guide for installation information.
Change History
____________
• Release 2.1.2
A problem that appeared when using the debugging version of ASLM was fixed.
Fixed a bug which kept PowerMac driver libraries from being unloaded from memory when no longer in use.
Fixed a possible memory corruption problem when closing a connection.
Fixed a potential problem when freeing an environment handle unsuccessfully that would have prematurely unloaded the driver manager shared library.
Changed to using the system heap for allocations during shared library initialize & terminate functions.
Added debugging logic to assist in detecting bad and unreleased connections.
• Release 2.1.1
A bug in the Driver Manager's SQLDescribeParam API support was fixed. If use of the cursor library was requested by the application, the cursor libraries statement handle was passed to the driver instead of the driver's statement handle.
