03/05/20228099ExcelAdded
  • Added support for inserting rows on tables when no primary key is defined on a given table.
02/28/20228094NetSuiteChanged
  • Added support for performing a RowScan during metadata detection for SuiteQL. The RowScan connection property controls this behavior. This should improve the driver's ability to dynamically ensure the columns available for a given table are actually supported for your account and role.
  • In most tables, the default list of columns will be smaller than it was previously. Set RowScan = 0 to disable this feature.
02/19/20228085ExcelAdded
  • The button "Get Data -> From ProviderX" now displays a submenu with existing connections buttons and a separator, with the "New ProviderX Connection" button, if a connection exists. If no connections exist, then clicking "Get Data -> From ProviderX" will prompt the user to create a new connection before selecting the data.

Removed
  • In the "Table Selection" form, the "Source", "New Connection", "Connection", and "Edit Connection" fields are removed as they are out of the scope of the "Table Selection" form.
02/07/20228073NetSuiteAdded

01/27/20228062NetSuiteAdded

  • Added additional support for attempting to handle requests where more than 100K rows are retrieved from SuiteQL. The built in limit for a given query in SuiteQL that NetSuite will throw an exception after 100K results. However, we attempt to anticipate when this might occur and break up the query into multiple smaller queries that can be executed.
01/19/20228054NetSuiteRemoved
  • Removed the column Response from the CalendarEvent table in the SuiteQL schema.
12/31/20218035ExcelAdded

Changed
  • Improved performance when loading data from Get Data/Refresh and the CDATAQUERY function.
11/03/20217977ExcelAdded
  • Added new VBA functions: GetLastErrorCode and GetLastError.
11/03/20217977NetSuiteAdded
  • The following SuiteQL tables were added: accountingbook, accountingperiod, actiontype, activity, addressbook, automatedclearinghouseaccounttype, budgetexchangerate, costcategory, currencysymbol, demandsourcetype, dual, employeeexpensesourcetype, employeestatuscategory, employeetypecategory, employmentcategory, expensereportpolicy, fiscalcalendar, formatprofile, importedemployeeexpense, importedemployeeexpensestatus, limittype, onlinecaseform, onlineleadform, plannedorderstatustype, projectrevenueruletype, ratableeventpurpose, retirementplancontributiontype, retirementplantype, scriptcustomrecordtype, scriptrecordtype, statustype, subscriptionstatus, supplychangeorderstatus, transactionhistory, umdfield, usagestatus, usrauditlog, usrdsauditlog, usrdsexecutionlog, usrexecutionlog.

Changed
  • Updated our default Version to 2021.2.
  • As of 2021.2, NetSuite no longer produces a Schema Catalog for the API our SuiteQL tables rely on and has recommended switching to the Records Catalog. Due to this shift, some of the column data types have changed from Varchar to Int.
  • Some columns have been removed from our SuiteQL table definitions that were tested for being non functional. Every column is tested on every table for functionality - columns that no longer work are removed automatically.
10/29/20217972ExcelAdded
  • Added new VBA functions: GetUpSertedRows, UpSertRows, UpSertAll and UpSert.

Changed
  • The "Update Rows" button will now update changes made to existing rows or insert newly created rows.

Removed
  • The "Add Rows" button has been removed.
09/28/20217941ExcelAdded
  • When loading data, table columns are auto-fitted to display all cells' content. In cases when cells have large amounts of text and the table has many rows, this operation might be slow.
  • Added a config file option DISABLE_AUTOFIT_COLUMN. Setting DISABLE_AUTOFIT_COLUMN==TRUE will speed up the process in those cases. The default value is FALSE.

Changed
  • Changed the maximum characters that a cell can retreive from the data source from 8,192 to 32,767.
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.
07/26/20217877ExcelAdded
  • 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.
07/09/20217860NetSuiteAdded
  • Added support to Attach and Detach relationships between Contact and Entity, i.e: Customer. ContactRole can also be specified.
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.
06/26/20217847ExcelAdded
  • Added the ability to move the columns up and down on the "CData Query" form grid view and change their order via the UI.
06/24/20217845ExcelAdded
  • Added the default parameter "showPopups" so the user may decide whether to show popups when calling VBA functions.
06/23/20217844NetSuiteChanged
  • Fixed an issue with naming duplicate columns when the custom field is of type record reference. Previously the '2' , '3', or additional index was added at the end of the column name. However, this was causing issues when there were clashes with non custom fields that were not themselves record references, resulting in columns like: Manufacturer, Manufacturer2, Manufacturer_InternalId. The correct naming convention should be Manufacturer, Manufacturer2, Manufacturer2_InternalId since both of the later are tied together. This may result in column names showing up differently when there is a clash.
06/08/20217829NetSuiteChanged
  • Updated the length of InternalId columns on the special views of the SuiteTalk schema to length 32 to match the dynamically determined InternalId sizes. This includes BudgetExchangeRate, CustomFields, CustomRecords, CustomSegments, CustomTransactions, PostingTransctionSummary, SavedSearches, and Transactions.
05/26/20217816NetSuiteChanged
  • The default Version has been updated to 2021_1.
05/25/20217815NetSuiteAdded
  • The following SuiteQL tables are added: CashSaleItemShippingAddress, Classification, CreditMemoItemShippingAddress, CurrencyRateType, EmployeeStatus, EmployeeSubscriptionMessageHistory, EmployeeSubscriptions, EmployeeSubsidiaryRelationship, EmployeeTaxOptions, EmployeeType, EstimateItemShippingAddress, IntercompanyDestination, InvoiceItemShippingAddress, SalesOrderItemShippingAddress, ServiceSaleItemCorrelateditem, UserAuthorizationConsent, VendorSubsidiaryRelationship.

Changed
  • The SuiteQL scripts are updated following 2021.1 changes from NetSuite. Some columns have been removed that were tested for being non functional. Every column is tested on every table for functionality - columns that no longer work are removed automatically.
  • Primary keys have been added or removed from SuiteQL tables automatically following the the pattern: If the only column was the primary key, the primary key is removed. If the table supported a primary key but it was not marked, the primary key is now marked (assuming more than just the primary key exists).

Removed
  • The following SuiteQL tables are removed as they no longer work: GlobalInventoryRelationshipCustomerReturn, GlobalInventoryRelationshipFulfillment, ItemRevision, ItemSegmentCustomerSegmentMap, UserEventScriptDeploymentScriptLocalizationContextMap.
05/21/20217811ExcelAdded
  • A new UI implementation is added for "in" and "not in" filter options on the "CData Query" form. The user is able to select via an interface from a list of distinct column values.
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
