05/13/20228168ServiceNowAdded
  • The new OAuthPassowrd authentication method has been added, which will replace the GrantType Password functionality. OAuthPassword requires OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, Username, and Password.

Deprecated
  • OAuthGrantType has been deprecated. Use AuthScheme instead.

Changed
  • Column sizes reported by the ServiceNow Metadata API for the columns of type STRING are not taken into consideration anymore because the endpoint is unreliable.
12/11/20218015ServiceNowAdded
  • Added support to expose the ServiceNow database views as views when the the IncludeDatabaseViews connection property is set to true.
11/10/20217984ServiceNowAdded
  • Added support for Single Sign On (SSO) connection with PingFederate as the Identity Provider (IdP).
10/13/20217956ServiceNowAdded
  • Added the GetColumnsMetadata connection property, which controls when and how the driver should get the columns metadata. When setting it to 'OnUse', the driver will execute the table specific metadata calls the first time the table is referenced, provided the metadata for the table in question aren't already cached.
09/02/20217915GeneralAdded
  • Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
08/07/20217889GeneralChanged
  • Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
08/06/20217888GeneralChanged
  • Added the new sys_primarykeys system table.
07/23/20217874GeneralChanged
  • Updated the Literal Function Names for relative date/datetime functions. Previously relative date/datetime functions resolved to a different value when used in the projection vs te predicate. Ie: SELECT LAST_MONTH() AS lm, Col FROM Table WHERE Col > LAST_MONTH(). Formerly the two LAST_MONTH() methods would resolve to different datetimes. Now they will match.
  • As a replacement for the previous behavior, the relative date/datetime functions in the criteria may have an 'L' appended to them. Ie: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that previously were calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.
07/08/20217859GeneralAdded
  • Added the TCP Logging Module for the logging information happening on the TCP wire protocol. The transport bytes that are incoming and ongoing will be logged at verbosity=5.
04/23/20217785GeneralAdded
  • Added support for handling client side formulas during insert / update. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1 = Concat(Col1, " - ", Col2) WHERE Col2 LIKE 'A%'
04/23/20217783GeneralChanged
  • Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
04/16/20217776GeneralAdded
  • Non-conditional updates between two columns is now available to all drivers. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1=Col2

Changed
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.
  • Updated implicit and metadata caching to improve performance and support for multiple connections. Old metadata caches are not compatible - you would need to generate new metadata caches if you are currently using CacheMetadata.
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates
  • Updated and standardized Getting Started connection help.
  • Added the Advanced Features section to the help of all drivers.
  • Categorized connection property listings in the help for all editions.
04/15 /20217775GeneralChanged
  • Kerberos authentication is updated to use TCP by default, but will fall back to UDP if a TCP connection cannot be established
04/15/20217775ServiceNowDeprecated
  • Deprecated Instance connection property.

Replacement
  • The URL connection property replaces the Instance connection property. The user should now set the base URL of the ServiceNow instance site, instead of the instance Id. For example: https://MyInstance12345.service-now.com.
04/13/20217773ServiceNowChanged
  • The OneLogin method we used previously has been deprecated by OneLogin. We have updated our design to use the latest version of the OneLogin API, which now requires a seperate OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret associated with your OneLogin app to be passed in through SSOProperties. The APIKey that was formerly passed in through SSOProperties for OneLogin is removed.
  • OneLogin also no longer uses SSOLoginURL. Instead, Subdomain and AppId should be specified inside the SSOProperties.
03/24/20217753ServiceNowDeprecated
  • Deprecated SSOUser, SSOPassword, SSOProvider, OktaAppEmbedLink and OKTAApiToken connection properties.

Replacements
  • User and Password replaces SSOUser and SSOPassword.
  • Authscheme replaces SSOProvider.
  • SSOLoginURL replaces OktaAppEmbedLink as it is more generic and applicable to other SSO providers.
  • ApiToken replaces OKTAApiToken as it is more generic and applicable to other SSO providers.
