  • You can sort and reorder columns on the "CData Query" form to alter the sort order.
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.
07/21/20217872ExcelRemoved
  • Removed support for .NET 3.5. Before upgrade/downgrade, a clean uninstall and then the same product versions install should be performed. So, if you want to downgrade, all the downgrade build versions must support .NET 3.5. If you want to upgrade, all the upgrade build versions will drop .NET 3.5 support.
07/06/20217857ExcelAdded
  • Added a config file option REPLACE_SYSTEM_LOCALE=TRUE. This indicates whether Office culture replaces system locale. The default value is TRUE. This way, there is the option to disable overriding system locale by setting it to FALSE.

  • Added the ability to move the columns up and down on the "CData Query" form grid view and change their order via the UI.
