go-sql-driver/mysql v1.8.0

on GitHub

What's Changed

Major changes

• Use SET NAMES charset COLLATE collation. by @methane in #1437

  • Older go-mysql-driver used collation_id in the handshake packet. But it caused collation mismatch in some situation.
  • If you don't specify charset nor collation, go-mysql-driver sends SET NAMES utf8mb4 for new connection. This uses server's default collation for utf8mb4.
  • If you specify charset, go-mysql-driver sends SET NAMES <charset>. This uses the server's default collation for <charset>.
  • If you specify collation and/or charset, go-mysql-driver sends SET NAMES charset COLLATE collation.

• PathEscape dbname in DSN. by @methane in #1432

  • This is backward incompatible in rare case. Check your DSN.

• Drop Go 1.13-17 support by @methane in #1420

  • Use Go 1.18+

• Parse numbers on text protocol too by @methane in #1452

  • When text protocol is used, go-mysql-driver passed bare []byte to database/sql for avoid unnecessary allocation and conversion.
  • If user specified *any to Scan(), database/sql passed the []byte into the target variabe.
  • This confused users because most user doesn't know when text/binary protocol used.
  • go-mysql-driver 1.8 converts integer/float values into int64/double even in text protocol. This doesn't increase allocation compared to []byte and conversion cost is negilible.

• New options start using the Functional Option Pattern to avoid increasing technical debt in the Config object. Future version may introduce Functional Option for existing options, but not for now.

  • Make TimeTruncate functional option by @methane in #1552
  • Add BeforeConnect callback to configuration object by @ItalyPaleAle in #1469
