It includes these enhancements and fixes: Driver Compatibility -------------------- MS SQL Server * Fixed an "ODBC driver sent negative string size" error when using empty strings or None with output parameters for SQL Server ODBC drivers. * Clarified that due to the way the SQL Server ODBC driver sends data, mixing output parameters and output result sets is not possible. A work-around for this is to send back output parameters as additional result set. SAP Sybase ASE * Added a work-around for the Sybase ASE ODBC driver which has problems with BIGINT columns. These are now supported. * Fixed a possible "ODBC driver sent negative string size" error when using empty strings or None with output parameters for Sybase ASE ODBC drivers. Misc ---- * Fixed the handling of None as default value for output parameters in e.g. stored procedures to use VARCHAR binding rather than CHAR binding. The latter caused padding with some database backends. * Changed cursor.colcount to be determined on-demand rather than right after the prepare step of statement execution. * Fixed an issue with mxODBC triggering unwanted ODBC errors after the prepare step when calling a stored procedure. These were not reported, but do show up in the ODBC log. * Fixed some minor issues with the package web installer. For the full set of changes please check the mxODBC change log: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/changelog.html ________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES mxODBC 3.3 was released on 2014-04-08.
