MariaDB Node.js Connector 3.5.4 and 3.4.7 now available.

MariaDB Node.js Connector 3.5.4 and 3.4.7 now available. MariaDB is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the MariaDB Connector/Node.js 3.5.4, 3.4.7, 3.3.4, and 3.2.5 GA releases. Release notes. MariaDB Connector/Node.js 3.5.4 is a Stable (GA) release. Notable changes in this release include: * New maxAllowedColumns option (default 65535), bounding the column count a server may announce for a result-set or a prepared statement. Without it, a rogue server can make the client allocate metadata for a result-set that never completes. * Connection options are merged through the prototype chain instead of being flat-cloned for every command (#353, contribution by erulabs) * Enable standard TLS certificate identity validation under Deno * Add JavaScript SAST (CodeQL and eslint-plugin-security) to CI * Fixes for various issues * maxAllowedColumns (new, integer, default 65535) - maximum number of columns a server-announced result-set or prepare metadata may declare. The column count is read from the wire before any metadata is allocated for it, so a malicious or man-in-the-middle server announcing an enormous count could otherwise exhaust client memory. A larger count closes the connection with a fatal error instead. The value must be an integer greater than 0. * maxAllowedPacket (default changed) - when the option is not set, the default is now a quarter of the memory available to the process (the cgroup limit when containerized, physical memory otherwise), bounded to [16 MB, 1 GB]. It was previously a fixed 16 MB. The value is also advertised to the server in the handshake response and now bounds packet reassembly on the read side: a server announcing a larger packet is refused rather than growing the reassembly buffer. Set it to the server's real max_allowed_packet; a lower value rejects legitimate results. MariaDB Connector/Node.js 3.4.7 is a Stable (GA) release. Notable changes in this release include:

MILPITAS, Calif. and DUBLIN - August 5, 2026 - MariaDB plc, the enterprise database platform for agentic AI, today announced that it has been named Best Overall Database in the 2026 DBTA Readers' Choice Awards.

"To help companies progress along their data-driven journeys, each year, DBTA presents the Readers' Choice Awards, offering the opportunity to recognize the best of the best companies whose products have been selected by you - our readers!" The award builds on a year of continued innovation and industry recognition for MariaDB. Earlier this year, the company was named Data Management Platform of the Year in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards for its unified platform that enables organizations to build AI-powered applications while simplifying data infrastructure. MariaDB also launched MariaDB Enterprise Platform 2026, introducing native retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, integrated vector search and dedicated AI frameworks to help organizations build and deploy production-ready AI applications.
