  • 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 as opposed to the predicate. For example: 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. For example: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that were previously calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.
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.
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.

Changed
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates.
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.
