  • 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.

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.
07/12/20217863Amazon AthenaAdded
  • Added support for federated queries. The provider now supports queries ( joins, unions etc ) on cross catalogs and schemas.
06/25/20217846Amazon AthenaAdded
  • Added support for dynamic data sources ( catalogs ). DataSource or Catalog connection properties can be used to specify a custom data source to work with.
06/23/20217844Amazon AthenaAdded
  • Added the ShowS3Filepath connection property, which sets whether or not to expose the _S3Path column for each source table.
05/25/20217815Amazon AthenaAdded
  • Added support for FIPS endpoints via the EnableFIPSMode connection property.
05/17/20217807Amazon AthenaAdded
