What's new for IBM® i 7.1
Read about new or significantly changed information for the SQL CLI topic collection.
- Support for the XML data type. Columns defined with the XML data type can be bound in and out to character, wide character or binary data types depending on the column definition. See SQLBindCol() and SQLBindParameter() functions for more information on binding the XML data type in a CLI application. In addition, there are two new connection attributes that provide configuration settings related to XML. See SQLSetConnectAttr() for more information on these new attributes.
- Support for Concurrent Access Resolution through the use of a new connection attribute, SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENT_ACCESS_RESOLUTION. See a description of the new attribute under the SQLSetConnectAttr() function.
- Support for multiple-row processing on UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE statements similar to how it is supported for INSERT statements.
- Support for TINYINT data type. CLI applications being ported from other platforms that bind TINYINT types as application data types will now run on IBM i.
