Oracle ODBC Driver now supports 32 KB data columns with VARCHAR2 , NVARCHAR2 , and RAW data. See Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference and Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for information about creating 32 KB columns.

ODBC driver supports the migration of third-party applications to Oracle Databases by using the SQL Translation Framework. This enables non-Oracle database SQL statements to run against Oracle Database. For using this feature with an ODBC application, you must specify the service name, which was created as part of SQL Translation Framework setup, as the ServerName= entry in the odbc.ini file. If you require support for translation of Oracle errors (ORA errors) to your the native database, once your application starts running against Oracle Database, then you must enable the SQLTranslateErrors=T entry in the odbc.ini file.

See Oracle Database SQL Translation and Migration Guide on "How to Use SQL Translation Framework" before migrating a third-party ODBC application to Oracle Database.

Oracle ODBC driver now supports executing a stored procedure, which can return implicit results without using RefCursor . This support eases any third party ODBC application, which migrated to Oracle and wants to use this same functionality that was provided by their previous vendors.

See Oracle Database SQL Translation and Migration Guide for more information about implicit results support by Oracle Database.

Extended support of SQLColAttribute() field identifiers to support Oracle Database auto increment feature. You can use this feature by including Oracle ODBC driver specific header file sqora.h in the application. See Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for more information about auto increment:

SQL_COLUMN_AUTO_INCREMENT

Starting from Oracle Database Release 12 c Release 1 (12.1), Oracle supports auto increment columns so the Oracle ODBC Driver has extended the same support through the existing SQLColAttribute() identifier SQL_COLUMN_AUTO_INCREMENT . This property is read only and returns SQL_TRUE if the column is auto increment; otherwise, it returns SQL_FALSE .

SQL_ORCLATTR_COLUMN_PROP

Starting from Oracle Database Release 12 c Release 1 (12.1), Oracle ODBC Driver supports a new driver specific field identifier SQL_ORCLATTR_COLUMN_PROP , which returns the attributes of the column. This identifier returns SQLULEN value, which has all the column properties, shown as follows:

+-----------------------------------------+
| 32 |...| 10 | 9 | 8 |......| 3 | 2 | 1 |
+-----------------------------------------+
                                   |   |   |
                                   |   |   |-> Column is auto-increment?
                                   |   |-> Auto value is always generated?
                                   |-> If generated by default when null?
                        
Oracle ODBC driver has been enhanced to prefetch LONG and LONG RAW data to improve performance of ODBC applications. To do this, the maximum size of LONG data (MaxLargeData) has to be set in registry on Windows (also need to add the registry key MaxLargeData= in the DSN), and in odbc.ini file on UNIX platforms manually. This enhancement has improved the performance of Oracle ODBC driver up to 10 times, depending on the MaxLargeData size set by the user. The default value of MaxLargeData is 0. The maximum value for MaxLargeData that can be set by the user is 64 KB (65536 bytes). Even if the value of MaxLargeData is set to some value greater than 65536, the data fetched will be 65536 bytes only. If a user has LONG and LONG RAW data in database, which is greater that 65536 bytes, MaxLargeData should be set to 0 (the default value), which will result in single row fetch and the complete LONG data can be fetched. In case the user has passed the buffer less than MaxLargeData size in non-polling mode, the data truncation error will occur if LONG data size in the database is greater than the buffer size. (Enhancement Request 7006879).
                        
Oracle ODBC Driver is now made to support OCIDescribeAny() call (to get metadata) to improve performance when the application is making heavy calls to small packaged procedures that return REF CURSORS through the option called UseOCIDescribeAny in odbc.ini. To use OCIDescribeAny() on UNIX platforms, set UseOCIDescribeAny to T (True) in odbc.ini file, and on Windows through the registry in DSN. (Enhancement Request 7704827).
                        
Added support for Disable RULE Hint. Oracle ODBC Driver now allows user to specify the option to select whether to use RULE Hint in catalog APIs. The change has been done to increase the performance of ODBC driver for catalog APIs. The default value for the option is TRUE which means that RULE Hint will not be used in catalog APIs by default. (Bug4150034). 
                        
Added support for Bind Number As FLOAT. By introducing Column Binding for NUMBER Column as FLOAT when the column contains FLOAT data speeds up the query execution that uses bind variables as FLOAT. (Bug4608183). 
                        
Added support for OCI statement caching feature that provides and manages a cache of statements for each session. By implementing the support for OCI Statement Caching option, Oracle ODBC Driver will see the increase in performance where users have to parse the same statement multiple times in the same connection. The default value for the statement cache flag is FALSE.
                        
Changed the behavior of Result-set cache by saving the unnecessary memory calls to increase the ODBC Driver Performance.
                        
Added support for named parameter, binding parameters by name. Oracle ODBC Driver now allows application to specify the parameters to a stored procedure by name, in the procedure call. Named parameters are only to be used in calls to stored procedures, and not to be used in other SQL statements. (Bug3617324) 
                        
Changed the behavior of describing metadata for stored procedures that exist in some package. The change has been done to increase the performance of ODBC Driver for stored procedure calls. Now if the stored procedure is in some package, then the metadata will be described using a PL/SQL procedure. (Bug4030664) 
                        
The support for Oracle ODBC Driver for Linux and Solaris platforms is introduced in release 10.2.0.1. From release 10.2.0.4 ODBC Driver was made available for the AIX platform as well.
                        
Added support for NCHAR columns in INSERT/UPDATE statements with parameter markers, (Bug 2827132). Previously, the driver did not notice that the column was of NCHAR type and failed to set the proper attribute when binding at the OCI level. As a side effect, the SQLDescribeParam call now returns useful information for parameters in INSERT/UPDATE statements, though not in other statement types. 
                        
Added support for LOBs larger then 4 GB. Requires the Oracle Client and Database to both be Oracle Database 10g (10.1) or later. 
                        
Added support for the new BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE data types in Oracle Database 10g




    
 and later servers. 
                        
Added support for MONTHNAME and DAYNAME functions in SQL statements.

The SQLSetStmtOption SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT does not work if the database server is running on Windows NT. As a workaround, setting BREAK_POLL_SKIP=1 in the server's sqlnet.ora file solves the problem. By default, this is set to 100, and the database would not check for a time out set by the ODBC application.
                        
SQLBindParameter when used to bind a buffer as SQL_PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT and having a PL/SQL procedure with IN OUT parameter and if the parameter is not changed in the procedure, then the driver will not return SQL_NULL_DATA in StrLen_or_IndPtr. 
                        
Oracle ODBC driver does not support the usage of Keyset cursors with the CASE clause in a SQL SELECT query.
