Updated Microsoft.Data.SqlClient from 5.1.3 to 6.1.3.

Release notes

Sourced from Microsoft.Data.SqlClient's releases.

6.1.3

This update includes the following changes since the 6.1.2 release:

Added

App Context Switch for Ignoring Server-Provided Failover Partner

What Changed:

A new app context switch Switch.Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.IgnoreServerProvidedFailoverPartner was introduced to let the client ignore server-provided failover partner info in Basic Availability Groups (BAGs). When the switch is enabled, only the failover partner specified in the connection string is used; server-supplied partner values are skipped. This context switch was introduced in PR #3702.

Who Benefits:

Applications connecting to SQL Server BAGs using TCP and custom ports, especially where the server's provided partner name lacks the protocol, host, or port. This avoids connection failures when the server-provided partner is incompatible or incomplete.
Teams who manage availability groups and rely on client-side control of failover behavior in heterogeneous networking environments.

Impact:

If your environment might be affected (i.e., you operate a BAG with custom ports, or have experienced failures after failover), you can enable the new switch in your application:

AppContext.SetSwitch("Switch.Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.IgnoreServerProvidedFailoverPartner", true);

Then, ensure your connection string includes your preferred failover partner (with correct tcp:host,port) so that the client uses that instead of the server's suggestion.
Without enabling this, by default, the client continues to prefer the server-provided partner, maintaining backwards compatibility.

Fixed

Fixed an issue to ensure reliable metrics initialization during startup, preventing missed telemetry when EventSource is enabled early. (#3718)

Fixed an issue where a Custom SqlClientAuthenticationProvider was being overwritten by default implementation. #3651
Fixed a concurrency issue in connection pooling where the number of active connections could be lower than the configured maximum pool size. #3653

6.1.1

6.1.0

Release Notes

[!WARNING]
This release version is delisted from NuGet.org and is no longer supported.
It contains critical bugs that make it unsuitable for use.

Stable Release 6.1.0 - 2025-07-25

This update brings the following changes since the 6.0.2 stable release:

Added

Added dedicated SQL Server vector datatype support

What Changed:

Optimized vector communications between MDS and SQL Server 2025, employing a custom binary format over the TDS protocol. (#3433, #3443)
Reduced processing load compared to existing JSON-based vector support.
Initial support for 32-bit single-precision floating point vectors.

Who Benefits:

Applications moving large vector data sets will see beneficial improvements to processing times and memory requirements.
Vector-specific APIs are ready to support future numeric representations with a consistent look-and-feel.

Impact:

Reduced transmission and processing times for vector operations versus JSON using SQL Server 2025 preview:
- Reads: 50x improvement
- Writes: 3.3x improvement
- Bulk Copy: 19x improvement
- (Observed with vector column of max 1998 size, and 10,000 records for each operation.)
Improved memory footprint due to the elimination of JSON serialization/deserialization and string representation bloat.
For backwards compatibility with earlier SQL Server Vector implementations, applications may continue to use JSON strings to send/receive vector data, although they will not see any of the performance improvements noted above.

Revived .NET Standard 2.0 target support

What Changed:

Support for targeting .NET Standard 2.0 has returned. (#3381)
Support had previously been removed in the 6.0 release, with the community voicing concerns.

Who Benefits:

Libraries that depend on MDS may seamlessly target any of the following frameworks:
- .NET Standard 2.0
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
- .NET 8.0
- .NET 9.0
Applications should continue to target runtimes.

What Changed:

Support for targeting .NET Standard 2.0 has returned. (#3381)
Support had previously been removed in the 6.0 release, with the [community voicing concerns] (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 6.0 and .Net Standard dotnet/SqlClient#3115).

Who Benefits:

Libraries that depend on MDS may seamlessly target any of the following frameworks:
- .NET Standard 2.0
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
- .NET 8.0
- .NET 9.0
Applications should continue to target runtimes.
- The MDS .NET Standard 2.0 target framework support does not include an actual implementation, and cannot be used with a runtime.
- An application's build/publish process should always pick the appropriate MDS .NET/.NET Framework runtime implementation.
- Custom build/publish actions that incorrectly try to deploy the MDS .NET Standard 2.0 reference DLL at runtime are not supported.

## 5.1.8

This update brings the following changes since the [5.1.7](https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/blob/main/release-notes/5.1/5.1.7.md) release:

### Added

#### App Context Switch for Ignoring Server-Provided Failover Partner

*What Changed:*

- A new app context switch `Switch.Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.IgnoreServerProvidedFailoverPartner` was introduced to let the client ignore server-provided failover partner info in Basic Availability Groups (BAGs). When the switch is enabled, only the failover partner specified in the connection string is used; server-supplied partner values are skipped. This context switch was introduced in PR [#3704](https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/pull/3704).

*Who Benefits:*

- Applications connecting to SQL Server BAGs using TCP and custom ports, especially where the server's provided partner name lacks the protocol, host, or port. This avoids connection failures when the server-provided partner is incompatible or incomplete.
- Teams who manage availability groups and rely on client-side control of failover behavior in heterogeneous networking environments.

*Impact:*

- If your environment might be affected (i.e., you operate a BAG with custom ports, or have experienced failures after failover), you can enable the new switch in your application:

```c#
AppContext.SetSwitch("Switch.Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.IgnoreServerProvidedFailoverPartner", true);

Then, ensure your connection string includes your preferred failover partner (with correct tcp:host,port) so that the client uses that instead of the server's suggestion.
Without enabling this, by default, the client continues to prefer the server-provided partner, maintaining backwards compatibility.
