Enhanced Exasol Linux ODBC Driver Libraries with Version and Build Metadata Output

Detail name	Value
Changelog Number	30951
Type	Improvement
Status	Resolved
Fix Versions	ODBC 26.2.7
Resolution Date	2026-06-30

Background

Previously, Exasol ODBC Linux driver libraries such as libexaodbc.so and libexacli.so did not provide an easy way to determine their version information directly from the library files.

Improvement

The Linux ODBC driver libraries have been enhanced to expose version and build information when executed directly. This allows users and support teams to quickly verify the installed driver version without additional tools or package inspection.

Example

Executing libexacli.so:

./libexacli.so
Exasol CLI - x86_64 64-bit (unixODBC)
Version : 26.2.7
Build   : May 28 2026 16:31:19

Executing libexaodbc.so:

./libexaodbc.so
Exasol ODBC - x86_64 64-bit (unixODBC)
Version : 26.2.7
Build   : May 28 2026 16:31:24

This enhancement simplifies troubleshooting, version verification, and support activities by making library version information readily accessible.
