11/15/20228354DB2Added
  • Add support for new AuthScheme "IBMIAMAuth", which connects to DB2 server by using "IBMIAMauth" plugin.
11/11/20228350ODBCChanged
  • Updated embedded JRE to jre8u345-b01 (Linux x64 / MacOS x64) and jre-17.0.5+8 (MacOS aarch64).
05/17/20228172ODBCChanged

12/22/20218026ODBCAdded
  • Added support for transactions.
09/02/20217915GeneralAdded
  • Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
07/29/20217880ODBCAdded
  • Added support for the Array data type for the input parameters in stored procedures.
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.
07/08/20217859GeneralAdded
  • 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.
05/29/20217819ODBCAdded
  • Exposed the InitiateOAuth connection property.
05/26/20217816ODBCAdded
  • Added support for the JAVA_HOME setting in the configuration file.
04/29/20217789ODBCAdded
  • Added the SqlMaxColumnNameLen connection property.
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.
04/16/20217776ODBCChanged
  • ODBC Drivers on Linux and Mac now depend on the JRE, which brings improved stability and performance.
03/12/20217741DB2Removed
  • Removed the AuthScheme connection property. Currently the provider doesn't support anything other than password auth so the property was pointless.
