Known Issues

• Connection pooling on Linux or macOS is not recommended with unixODBC < 2.3.7
• When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
• unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
• due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples here
