10/25/20228333Facebook AdsAdded
  • Added retry method, governed by new RetryLevel connection property, for avoiding data limit API errors for ad insights requests. For Target-less queries executed at the ad account level, the driver will now attempt to retry initial data requests that encounter errors about requesting insights over too many rows by attempting to retry the request at a lower level of ad object. The deepest level of ad object to which the driver might retry is determined by the Level query parameter and RetryLevel connection property, in order of precedence.
09/30/20228308GeneralChanged

02/25/20228091jdbcChanged
  • The method DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo() now returns all of the data types that the driver supports. Previously, it was returning only a portion of the data types. The types include: tinyint, smallint, int, bigint, float, double, numeric, decimal, bit, date, datetime, time, varchar, binary, uuid.
02/24/20228090jdbcChanged

  • Added the following fields for AdCreatives: EffectiveInstagramMediaId, EffectiveInstagramStoryId, SourceInstagramMediaId.
11/02/20217976Facebook AdsChanged
  • Updated the maximum pagesize to be unrestricted for all tables. Previously Facebook would throw exceptions if the pagesize was exceeded, but this seems to have been removed.
10/27/20217970jdbcChanged
  • Added support for JDK 17
10/26/20217969Facebook AdsChanged
  • The default API version is updated to 12.0.
10/14/20217957Facebook AdsAdded
  • Added the TargetingDevicePlatforms, TargetingPublisherPlatforms, and TargetingInstagramPositions to the drivers.
09/27/20217940Facebook AdsAdded
  • Added extra columns for Dimension, Hierarchy and OLAPType to sys_tablecolumns for OLAP properties.
09/12/20217925jdbcRemoved
  • Removed the IS_READONLY, IS_KEY, NUMERIC_PRECISION, and DECIMAL_DIGITS columns from DatabaseMetadata.GetColumns(), as they are not part of the JDBC Specification. This information is still available via other metadata calls.
09/02/20217915GeneralAdded
  • Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
08/07/20217889GeneralChanged
  • Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
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.
06/14/20217835Facebook AdsChanged
  • The default API version is updated to 11.0.
  • Facebook has removed access from apps to return comment ids when the user does not also have permissions to moderate the comments. This may mean in some cases comments will stop returning with our driver when they were working previously.
  • The user_likes and user_posts permissions (no longer used by default with the embedded driver) now have much more difficult requirements to access them from Facebook.
  • Nearly all unique page type columns for the Pages table were deprecated by Facebook. For example, Parking columns, GeneralInfo, Attire, Restaurant Services columns, Awards, etc. These will all start returning null as Facebook transitions to the New Page Experience. These columns will be removed in the 2022 release of the driver.
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.
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.

Changed
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates.
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
  • Updated implicit and metadata caching to improve performance and support for multiple connections. Old metadata caches are not compatible - you need to generate new metadata caches if you are currently using CacheMetadata.
04/13/20217773Facebook AdsChanged
  • Updated the default Version to 10.0.
  • On the AdsInsights and AdInsightsActions tables, the date_preset input available input value of "lifetime" is changed to "maximum" to comply with Facebook API changes. The more relevant impact is that as of API version 10.0, apps may only retrieve up to 37 months prior data. In the past, older insight data was available.
03/19/20217748Facebook AdsDeprecated
  • The Permissions connnection property is deprecated and replaced with Scope to match other drivers.
