  • Created the following functions:
    • TEXT_ENCODE: encodes a string into a different charset (UTF8 → UTF7 and returns a binary array as the result).
    • TEXT_DECODE: takes a binary array and decodes it back into a string when provided the charset.
    • BASE64_ENCODE: takes a binary array and encodes it as a base64 string (varchar).

05/29/20259280ADO.NETChanged
  • We have improved our implementation of the ADO.NET DbDataReader.GetDataTypeName so that it now returns database data type names, such as varchar, tinyint, and datetime.

02/15/20259177GeneralAdded

  • Added support to recognize the date fields based on a connection property. In Exact, date fields are marked as DateTime. This can be managed by setting the RecognizeDateFields connection property to a comma separated list of column names to report as Date instead of DateTime.
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.
06/23/20217844Exact OnlineAdded
  • Sync API support for the supported API's. This can be enabled this by setting the UseSyncAPI connection property to true.
06/07/20217828ADO.NETAdded

  • The PriceListLinkedAccounts, PriceListPeriods and PriceListVolumeDiscounts views due to their addition in the Exact API. These are not complete replacements for SalesPriceListDetails as each view's schema differs significantly from SalesPriceListDetails.

Removed
  • The SalesPriceListDetails views is removed due to its deprecation in the Exact API.
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.
04/16/20217776ADO.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.
  • Separate EFCore 3.0, 3.1 and EFCore 5 dlls are now shipped with the driver. The 2.0 and 2.1 EFCore dlls are removed.
