−RELEASE NOTES
+
−MonetDB JDBC driver version 2.27 (Liberica/MCL-1.16)
+
−Release date: 2017-10-23
+
−
+
−This JDBC driver is designed for use with MonetDB, a main-memory column-store RDBMS.
+
−For more information see https://www.monetdb.org/
+
−
+
−The MonetDB JDBC connection URL format to use is:
+
−  jdbc:monetdb://<hostname>[:<portnr>]/<databasename>[?<property>=<value>[&<property>=<value>]]
+
−
+
−Note: For a successful connection the database name part must be provided
+
− and be equal to the name of the database served by the mserver5 process running on
+
− the specified host and listening to the specified port number (default port is 50000).
+
−
+
−Supported connection properties are:
+
−	user=<login name>
+
−	password=<secret value>
+
−	so_timeout=<time in milliseconds>
+
−	hash=<SHA512, SHA384, SHA256, SHA1 and MD5>
+
−	language=<sql or mal>		default is: sql
+
−	treat_blob_as_binary=true	default is: false
+
−	treat_clob_as_varchar=true	default is: false
+
−	debug=true			default is: false
+
−	logfile=<name of logfile>
+
−
+
−For example:
+
−  jdbc:monetdb://localhost:41000/mydb?user=monetdb&password=monetdb&so_timeout=7000&treat_clob_as_varchar=true

+
−JDBC COMPLIANCE
+
−The MonetDB JDBC driver complies to JDBC 4.1 definition, see
+
− http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jdbc/index.html
+
−
+
−Note: as of Jul2015 release we compile all the java sources to target: Java 1.7
+
−so you need a JRE/JDK of version 1.7 or higher to use it.
+
−
+
−Within the current implementation not all functionalities of the JDBC
+
−interface are available.  It is believed, however, that this
+
−implementation is rich enough to be suitable for a majority of
+
−application settings.
+
−
+
−Below a list of (un)supported features can be found.
+
−Please read this list if you intend to use this driver.
+
−
+
−If you feel some features are missing or have encountered an issue/bug,
+
−please let us know at our bugtracker:
+
−  https://www.monetdb.org/bugzilla/
+
−
+
−
+
−Currently implemented JDBC 4.1 interfaces include:

+
−      configurable)
+
−  NOTE: be sure to check for warnings after setting concurrencies or
+
−        isolation levels; MonetDB currently does not support anything
