We had a mix of information on the latest release (currently 3.51, but 5.0 is currently in development), but many of the sections didn&#8217;t reflect that new version. There is also new information on how to install the driver on Mac OS X. <\/li>\n<li>Restructure the information. This is something I&#8217;m doing across the board on the Connectors docs, as I try to re-organize them all into a more coherent, and compatible, structure. For example, I&#8217;ve collated all of the tips about using C\/ODBC with different applications into their own section, organized by application. I&#8217;ve also extended the information; for example we now have a step by step guide to importing data from MySQL into Microsoft Word and Excel through Microsoft Query.<\/li>\n<li>Setting up the document so that I can more easily add and extend the information in there with tips from the community, bug fixes, and of course new releases. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;ll now be continuing the work with the other Connectors, like Connector\/J and Connector\/NET. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my first major tasks at MySQL has just been completed &#8211; a major rewrite of the Connector\/ODBC documentation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[36],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planet.mcb.guru\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
