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.

04/23/20217783GeneralChanged
  • Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
04/16/20217776ADO.NETChanged
  • Separated the ADO.NET Provider assembly and Entity Framework Core 5 Nuget packages.
  • Single precision floating point numbers are now reported as with the Data Type Name as "real". Double precision floating point numbers now have their Data Type Name reported as "float". This change does not impact the actual data types of these columns - only the reported data type name.

Changed
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.

  • 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.

  • Kerberos authentication is updated to use TCP by default, but will fall back to UDP if a TCP connection cannot be established
04/13/20217773Excel ServicesChanged
  • 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.
04/01/20217761Excel ServicesDeprecated
  • The UseSSO connection property is deprecated. You should select the preferred SSO scheme directly from the AuthScheme property instead.
  • The URNAddress is deprecated. This property is used inside the SSOProperties and it should be specified when authenticating to ADFS on Sharepoint On-Premise. Instead RelyingParty should be used as in other drivers.
