From which IRIS version is the new JDBC driver on github?

Andreas Schneider · Nov 23, 2024

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well!

I wanted to share that a new JDBC driver version has been added to the iris-driver-distribution repository on GitHub. The filename is intersystems-jdbc-3.10.1.jar.

However, I noticed that the commit message doesn’t provide much information about the IRIS version this driver is associated with. Could anyone clarify if this is a final release? Is it production-ready? Additionally, are there details about the bugs it addresses or the new features it introduces?

For comparison, the JDBC driver included in the Docker image as of today (23/11/2024) "IMAGE=containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-preview" — has the filename intersystems-jdbc-3.10.0.jar, which appears to be an older version.

Looking forward to any insights you can share. Thank you!

Best regards,
Andreas

Indeed, as of 3.10.1, we're publishing our JDBC drivers directly to Maven when needed, offering bugfixes as well as enhancements independently of IRIS releases. This significantly increases our ability to address customer feedback.

For convenience, we'll continue to ship jar files with IRIS, using the version that is current at the time of the IRIS release.

The container image IMAGE=containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-cd from today also contains just the intersystems-jdbc-3.10.0.jar driver

The db version of this container image reports as "InterSystems IRIS Version 2024.3.0.209", this is the release from here General Availability of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, right?!

@Benjamin De Boe maybe you can clearify from where this version of the iris-driver-distribution repository on GitHub -> intersystems-jdbc-3.10.1.jar. came from?

See also my response to Vitaliy's post -- we intend to refresh the driver distribution page on GitHub to reflect the new distribution channel shortly.

Ben,

Thank you for the explanation!
In addition to a (new) driver version, it would be helpful to know what problem this driver solves or what new feature this (new) driver offers. If the driver is no longer necessarily distributed with an IRIS release, such information could provide more clarity and context. It would be great if INtersystems could make this information available in the future, e.g. via a github repo: https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-driver-distribution.
I wish you all a very happy new year!
Andreas
