Version 5.1.4

ENHANCEMENTS

• The driver has been enhanced to include timestamp in the Spy and JDBC packet
  logs by default. If required, you can disable the timestamp logging by
  specifying the following at connection: For Spy logs, set
  spyAttributes=(log=(file)Spy.log;timestamp=no) and for JDBC packet logs,
  set ddtdbg.ProtocolTraceShowTime=false.*
• Interactive SQL for JDBC (JDBCISQL) is now installed with the product.
  JDBCISQL is a command-line interface that supports connecting your driver
  to a data source, executing SQL statements and retrieving results in a
  terminal. This tool provides a method to quickly test your drivers in an
  environment that does not support GUIs.*
• Support for result set holdability has been added to the driver.

CHANGED BEHAVIOR

• The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE. Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for the most secure version of a JRE to be used.*
  Note: This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide.
  Available: July 3, 2024
• The driver no longer registers the Statement Pool Monitor as a JMX MBean by
  default. To register the Statement Pool Monitor and manage statement pooling with
  standard JMX API calls, the new RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean connection
  property must be set to true. Refer to RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean for details.*
