============================================================================== Simba Phoenix ODBC Data Connector Release Notes ============================================================================== The release notes provide details of enhancements, features, and known issues in Simba Phoenix ODBC Connector 1.2.4, as well as the version history. ============================================================================== Platform and Data source version support This version of the driver supports the following data source versions and platforms: * Phoenix versions 4.4.0 through 5.1.1 * Windows 10, Windows Server 2025, 2019, 2016 * macOS 15 (Universal Binary-Intel and ARM support) * Debian 13, RHEL 8 or 10, SLES 15, Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 1.2.4 ======================================================================== Released 2025-12-12 Enhancements & New Features * [PHO-502] Updated third-party libraries The connector has been updated to use the following libraries: - Expat 2.7.3 (previously 2.7.1) - libcurl 8.15.0 (previously 8.10.1) - OpenSSL 3.0.18 (previously 3.0.15) Known Issues The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in the data source, the connector, or an application. * NOT NULL is not supported in Phoenix DDL for non-primary-key columns. This is a limitation in Phoenix. * The UNION statement is not supported in Phoenix. This is a limitation in Phoenix. As a workaround, use UNION ALL, which is supported in Phoenix. * A subquery that aliases a fully-qualified column name to its own shortened name returns an error. This is a limitation in Phoenix. This limitation affects the Custom SQL feature in Tableau, as Custom SQL makes extensive use of aliased subqueries. * SELECT NOW() and SELECT CURRENT_DATE() return incorrect results when a table is not specified. This is a limitation in Phoenix. As a workaround, make sure to specify a table when using these functions. * The LIKE operator is not supported in parameterized statements. This is a limitation in Phoenix. * Decimal data must be smaller than the maximum FLOAT value, and larger than the minimum FLOAT value. This is a limitation in Phoenix. * Cannot ROUND to negative precision. The ROUND function ignores negative values for the precision argument. This is a limitation in Phoenix. * GROUP BY statements including a BOOLEAN and a number may cause an error. GROUP BY statements that include a BOOLEAN, a NUMBER type, and any other data type may cause an error if the data types are listed in one of the following orders: * GROUP BY NUMBER_TYPE, BOOLEAN, OTHER_TYPE * GROUP BY BOOLEAN, NUMBER_TYPE, OTHER_TYPE * GROUP BY BOOLEAN, OTHER_TYPE, NUMBER_TYPE This is a limitation in Phoenix. As a workaround, use a different order in the GROUP BY statement. * 'SUBSTRING' is not supported as a substring operator. This is a limitation in Phoenix. As a workaround, use 'SUBSTR' as a substring operator. * Phoenix does not return precision or scale for parameterized queries. As a workaround, use the 'Decimal Precision' and 'Decimal Scale' connector configuration options. * Parameterized UPSERT/DELETE statements do not provide an updated row count. This is a limitation in Phoenix. * Parameter 'signed' metadata is always returned as FALSE. This is a limitation in Phoenix.
