RHEA-2012:0226 - unixODBC enhancement update


Synopsis

unixODBC enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated unixODBC packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The unixODBC packages contain a library for programs that use the ODBC standard to connect to database servers.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • This update divides the unixODBC package into a main package and a unixODBC-libs sub-package. The main package now contains only command-line utility programs (isql and others), while unixODBC-libs contains all the library files that are needed by other applications. The unixODBC-devel and unixODBC-kde sub-packages remain as they were. This split allows unixODBC-libs to be installed concurrently with unixODBC64-libs from the newer unixODBC64 package set, thus allowing applications that use either version of the ODBC API to be supported at the same time. With this update, unixODBC-libs can be installed concurrently with unixODBC64-libs from the newer unixODBC64 package set and applications that use either version of the ODBC API can be used concurrently. (BZ#497016)

All users of unixODBC are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
