All releases of Jackcess
Release Notes: This is primarily a minor feature release that adds initial support for linked tables. Linked tables will now be loaded by the normal Database.getTable method and can be created using the new Database.createLinkedTable method. Linked table resolution can be customized per Database by supplying a custom LinkResolver. There is other minor refactoring to improve API usability.
Release Notes: The biggest new feature in this version was adding support for reading/writing complex column data (version history, attachments, and multi-value columns) in Access 2007/2010 databases. There were other minor updates and fixes as well.
Release Notes: The Joiner utility was added, and some new methods to IndexCursor make it easier to join tables using pre-defined (index backed) relationships. Unsupported data types are now handled as binary content. There were some enhancements to give more visibility into the space utilized by the tables in the database. A few other minor bugfixes are included, such as trying multiple classloaders when loading resources as streams and fixing an issue with reading an Access 97 database with a large number of fields.
Release Notes: Table loading was refactored to use indexes, which should make startup faster. Support was added for reading properties blobs, including methods for accessing database, summary, and user-defined properties from the Database. Jackcess now fully supports Access 2010, including the new "General" sort order. Additionally, a variety of other minor fixes and enhancements were made.
Release Notes: This release fixes some issues with handling indexes. It adds support for creating indexes when creating a new table (normal indexes and primary key indexes are currently supported), and jackcess now handles multiple logical indexes backed by the same index data and interprets foreign key constraint information. Also, it adds support for writing all fixed length column types into variable length fields, and now allows MSISAM files to be written (experimental).
Release Notes: The biggest change in this release was adding support for some forms of access file encryption. The initial implementation of this support is in a separate project called Jackcess Encrypt. Also, database passwords can now be read. The quote character can be chosen on flat file import. Jackcess can now be utilized on the Android platform by following a few compatibility steps. The output column format can be chosen for each table. Column matching can be customized on a per Cursor basis. Lastly, certain types of usage map inconsistencies are now ignored (when safe to do so).
Release Notes: Support was added for reading Access 97 (jet format 3) databases. ExportUtil and associated utilities were added for exporting tables to flat files. Some minor fixes were included. Some places where table/columns names were not being handled case-insensitively were fixed. Database.escapeIdentifier was made public. Methods were added to TableBuilder and ColumnBuilder to optionally escape names. Support was added for overriding the charset and timezone used when reading or writing a database.
Release Notes: Support was added for Access 2002/2003/2007 databases. "Large" index support was enabled by default. It can still be disabled via a variety of means.
Release Notes: This release adds support for indexing strings containing any characters from the entire Basic Multilingual Plane 0. More binary/character types are supported for row addition. Import functionality has been improved and refactored into ImportUtil. Lastly, there were some minor bugfixes to date handling and row updates.
Release Notes: This release adds support for updating existing rows. It adds support for updating GUID indexes and for auto-number GUID fields. It adds support for reading and writing fixed length text fields.
