MariaDB Connector/R2DBC 1.2.0 Release Notes

Overview

MariaDB Connector/R2DBC is a non-blocking interface between Java applications and MariaDB Server. MariaDB Connector/R2DBC enables the development of Java 8+ applications for MariaDB database products.

MariaDB Connector/R2DBC 1.2.0 was released on 2024-02-23. This release is of GA (generally available) maturity. It is compatible with MariaDB Connector/R2DBC 1.1 and will therefore also be the maintenance path for version 1.1. This release is compatible with R2DBC 1.0.0 specification.

Notable Changes

• New timezone option (R2DBC-93)

  • The new timezone option can have 3 types of values:

    • disabled (default) : connector doesn't change timezone

    • auto : connector will set timezone connection variable to java default timezone

    • : connector will set connection variable to the specified timezone. Compared to auto, this avoids having some additional exchange with the server at connection creation

    • Examples:

r2dbc:mariadb://user:pwd@localhost:3306/db?timezone=+5:00r2dbc:mariadb://user:pwd@localhost:3306/db?timezone=autor2dbc:mariadb://user:pwd@localhost:3306/db?timezone=America/New_York

• The recommended setting for timezone is auto.

• Add support for connection redirection (R2DBC-66)

  • With MariaDB Community Server 11.3.1 a new global variable redirect_url value has been added, supported format:

{mariadb/mysql}://[<user>[:<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]/

• When set, all existing connections will be redirected to the designated URL values when appropriate. A connection will only be redirected when no transaction is active.

• Example for enabling the redirection:

set @@global.redirect_url="mariadb://somehost:3306/"

• The redirection feature is enabled by default. It can be disabled by setting the new option permitRedirect to FALSE, which will result in ignoring the redirection URL.

Issues Fixed

• Properly end connection (in place of RST TCP packet) (R2DBC-92)

• Failover High availability mode r2dbc:mariadb:[sequential|loadbalancing]:... wrongly parsed (R2DBC-86)

• Compatibility with mariadb 11.1.1 (R2DBC-87)

• Java 8 compatibility regression (R2DBC-88)

• Ensure respecting server collation (R2DBC-91)

• Session tracking wrong implementation when multiple system variable changes (R2DBC-94)
