Description

We are offering JDBC drivers in different installer packages for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

The exajdbc.jar archive includes some external packages called Waffle. They are needed on Windows systems for the SSPI implementation for Active Directory (Kerberos).
On Unix systems, there can be problems if an application tries to resolve the dependencies to the SSPI classes in the Exasol JDBC driver.

Improvement:

Non Windows JDBC download packages no longer include waffle packages.

We recommend to use

  • EXASOL_JDBC-*.msi if you are using a windows system
  • EXASOL_JDBC-*-MacOS.dmg if you are using a MacOS system
  • EXASOL_JDBC-*.tar. if you are using a linux system

The driver in the Maven repository will be the same as before, that means it will contain the Active Directory support and the Waffle packages.
