04/14/20259235Microsoft ProjectChanged
  • Renamed the StagesProjectDetailPages table to StageDetailPages in the ODataV2 schema.
  • Converted the WorkflowActivities table to a view in the ODataV2 schema.

Added
  • Added a new connection property called InsertMode, which controls the insertion behavior. The supported values are ADD or ODATA, with the default value set to ADD.
  • Added a new pseudocolumn named InsertMode in all tables that support inserts. When specified, this column overrides the connection-level Insert mode. The supported values are ADD or ODATA.
  • Added a new stored procedure named GetDeepInsertableColumns in the ODataV2 schema.
03/27/20259217Microsoft ProjectAdded
  • In tables/views whose corresponding OData entity is marked with hasStream:true in its API metadata responses, the "MediaReadLink" column is added to the table/view metadata. When present, this column displays the link to the OData entity's media stream.
02/24/20259186Microsoft ProjectAdded
  • In the ODataV2 schema, extended the Primary Key of the TimeSheets table. Previously the Primary Key for TimeSheets was a single column, PeriodId. Now the Primary Key is comprised of two columns: PeriodID and a new column, Id.
02/20/20259182Microsoft ProjectChanged
  • Changed the data type for all columns of type "time" to "string" type.
02/15/20259177GeneralAdded
  • Added support for converting unsigned integer types to the nearest signed data type that has enough precision to hold the unsigned value.This is done for JDBC only because it does not have support for unsigned data types.
02/09/20259171Microsoft ProjectChanged
  • OData V2 Schema: Converted the Events, ProjectDetailPages, and TimeSheetPeriods tables into views.
11/27/20249097GeneralAdded

05/29/20248915Microsoft ProjectRemoved
  • Removed the Auto AuthScheme option. The default value for the AuthScheme connection property is now SharePointOnlineCookies.

10/24/20238697Microsoft ProjectChanged

  • Added support for AzureAD authentication. Users can authenticate with any app registered on the Azure Portal by specifying the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret in the connection properties. The authentication process can be customized by specifying properties like Scope, CallbackURL, and AzureTenant.
12/14/20228383GeneralChanged
  • Added the Default column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
10/12/20228320TableauAdded
  • Added support for additional localizations in the Windows and Mac packages. Both setups now support all the languages that Tableau supports as of their 2022.2 release.
09/30/20228308GeneralChanged
  • Added the IsPath column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
08/12/20228259TableauChanged
  • Updated connection dialogs to use advanced configuration information provided by drivers. This makes use of the same information as the new dialogs in other editions (like ODBC) to display only the most relevant connection properties.
  • Legacy connectors have been simplified to look more like Tableau JDBC dialogs. Legacy connectors target older Tableau versions which do not support rich connection dialogs like the modern connectors do. Most connectors cannot fit within these limitations.
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 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.
04/30/20217790Microsoft ProjectChanged
  • Changed the sensitivity of the State property to no longer be sensitive. It was mistakenly marked with password sensitivity.
04/25/20217785GeneralAdded
  • 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
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.

Changed
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates.
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
  • Updated implicit and metadata caching to improve performance and support for multiple connections. Old metadata caches are not compatible - you need to generate new metadata caches if you are currently using CacheMetadata.
04/16/20217776TableauChanged
  • Improved the connection dialog configuration experience.
04/13/20217773Microsoft ProjectChanged
  • 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 separate 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.
03/26/20217755Microsoft ProjectDeprecated
  • The UseSSO connection property is deprecated. You should select the preferred SSO scheme directly from the AuthScheme connection property instead.
