Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: InsideMySQL.com; Connector/J version 8.0.23 came out with several bug fixes related to date-time types support. They provide more flexibility for configuring time zone handling and allow migration from Connector/J 5.1 with much less effort.

For example, the following code will store different results with Connector/J 5.1 and Connector/J 8.0 in case the client ... Read More
