The property impacts CUD statements when UseBulkAPI = true.'ConvertEmptyStringsToNull' is the default behavior which updates/creates a field value to NULL if the user has specified an empty string or NULL value, while 'IgnoreEmptyValue' will consider empty string values and NULL as no change made to the field's value.

|
| 07/23/2021 | 7874 | General | Changed
- 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.
|
