PostgreSQL JDBC Driver 42.2.0 Released

Known issues

  • SCRAM authentication does not work as scram client classes are not packaged
  • client_encoding has to be UTF8 even with allowEncodingChanges=true

Added

  • Support SCRAM-SHA-256 for PostgreSQL 10 in the JDBC 4.2 version (Java 8+) using the Ongres SCRAM library. PR 842
  • Make SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS return row counts to the client in their command tags. Issue 958 PR 962
  • Support Subject Alternative Names for SSL connections. PR 952
  • Support isAutoIncrement metadata for PostgreSQL 10 IDENTITY column. PR 1004
  • Support for primitive arrays PR 887 3e0491a
  • Implement support for get/setNetworkTimeout() in connections. PR 849
  • Make GSS JAAS login optional, add an option “jaasLogin” PR 922 see Connecting to the Database

Changed

  • Improve behaviour of ResultSet.getObject(int, Class). PR 932
  • Parse CommandComplete message using a regular expression, allows complete catch of server returned commands for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, FETCH, MOVE, COPY and future commands. PR 962
  • Use ‘time with timezone’ and ‘timestamp with timezone’ as is and ignore the user provided Calendars, ‘time’ and ‘timestamp’ work as earlier except “00:00:00” now maps to 1970-01-01 and “24:00:00” uses the system provided Calendar ignoring the user-provided one PR 1053
  • Change behaviour of multihost connection. The new behaviour is to try all secondaries first before trying the master PR 844.
  • Avoid reflective access to TimeZone.defaultTimeZone in Java 9+ PR 1002 fixes Issue 986

Fixed

  • Make warnings available as soon as they are received from the server. This is useful for long running queries, where it can be beneficial to know about a warning before the query completes. PR 857
  • Use 00:00:00 and 24:00:00 for LocalTime. MIN/MAX. PR 992
  • Now the DatabaseMetaData.getFunctions() implementation complies with the JDBC docs. PR 918
  • Execute autosave/rollback savepoint via simple queries always to prevent “statement S_xx not exists” when autosaving fixes Issue #955
  • Received resultset tuples, but no field structure for them" when bind failure happens on 5th execution of a statement Issue 811

Removed

  • Drop support for the (insecure) crypt authentication method. PR 1026

Deprecated

  • Reintroduce Driver.getVersion for backward compatibility reasons, mark it as deprecated as application should not rely on it (regression since 42.0.0) 50d5dd3e
  • slave and preferSlave values for the targetServerType connection property have been deprecated in favour of secondary and preferSecondary respectively.
