Data Conversion Issues With MySQL Driver 5.0.8

  1. Last updated

The MySQL JDBC driver version 5.0.8 may cause data conversion errors in the BA Server. For example, SQL statements that convert a numeric field to a string are returned as a string with version 5.0.7, but return as a byte array in 5.0.8. To solve this problem, you must replace the mysql-connector-java-5.0.8.jar with the mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar in your client tool or application server's lib directory.
