DateVersionSourceCategoryTypeDescription
2026-05-2726.0.9643GeneralConnectionRemoved
  • Removed the deprecated ReplaceInvalidTypesWithNull connection property. Use the ReplaceInvalidValuesWithNull property instead.
2026-05-0726.0.9623GeneralData ModelAdded
  • Added the ColumnCapabilities column to the sys_tablecolumns system table. This column is a bit mask denoting the column's write capabilities.
2026-04-2826.0.9614ADO.NETConnectionAdded
  • Added the following functions to the driver class. If you pass these functions an exception with no error records, an InvalidArgumentException is thrown.
    • containsErrorSource: Returns true if the exception contains an error record for the provided source name, or false otherwise.
    • getErrorCodeFromSource: Returns the numeric error code from the error record with the given source, or -1 if there is no error record from that source.
    • containsErrorCode: Returns true if the exception contains an error record with the provided error code, or false otherwise.
    • findErrorProperty: Returns the value of the property with the given name, or null if no property with that name is defined.

2026-04-1526.0.9601GeneralQuery ExecChanged

2026-04-1426.0.9600SAP SuccessFactorsData ModelAdded
  • Added the FilterParentDate column to navigation views across all dynamic tables. This column accepts a date parameter for querying child entities of effective-dated parent entities. The value is not returned directly from the API. Instead, the input value is mirrored to the output and the filter is applied server-side.
2026-04-1026.0.9596SAP SuccessFactorsData ModelChanged
  • The RecordStatus column was reported twice in some dynamic tables. Duplicate columns have now been merged. Additionally, input validation has been added for the RecordStatus column. This column now only accepts the following values: N, P, PH, normal, pending, and pendinghistory. An error is returned if an invalid value is provided.
2026-04-0126.0.9587ADO.NETAdded
  • Added support for EFCore 10.
2026-04-0126.0.9587SAP SuccessFactorsData ModelChanged

2025-07-1825.0.9330SAP SuccessFactorsRemoved
  • Removed the OAuthGrantType property. The grant type is now set implicitly through the 'AuthScheme' property. For example, you can use the 'OAuthPassword' AuthScheme instead of AuthScheme=OAuth with OAuthGrantType=Password.

    • SapIasPassword: Set this to perform SSO authentication through SAP IAS using the OAuth Password grant flow.
  • Users need to configure the SSOProperties with the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and SAP IAS service base URL. User and Password properties are required only for the SapIasPassword scheme.
2025-05-2925.0.9280ADO.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. Previously we returned the fully-qualified name of the column’s .NET type, in a format like "System.String, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e".
2025-05-2725.0.9278ADO.NETRemoved

2025-02-1524.0.9177GeneralAdded
  • Added support for converting unsigned integer types to the nearest signed data type that has enough precision to hold the unsigned value.This is done for JDBC only because it does not have support for unsigned data types.

2024-09-1724.0.9026SAP SuccessFactorsAdded
  • One column (ColumnType) is added to the sys_tablecolumns table.

  • Added the new sys_primarykeys system table.
2021-07-2321.0.7874GeneralChanged
  • 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.

  • 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.
2021-04-1621.0.7776GeneralAdded
  • Non-conditional updates between two columns is now available to all drivers. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1=Col2
