  • In the ListFiles stored procedure, replaced the AbsolutePath input with the Path input. This path is relative to the path provided in the URI connection property.

  • Added the ListFiles stored procedure. By default, this procedure lists all Avro files in the directory specified by the URI connection property. If an alternative directory is supplied in the AbsolutePath input, this procedure will instead list all Avro files in the supplied directory.

  • Changed the default method for submitting client_credentials grants with OAuth. Before, client_credentials would submit OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret using the HTTP Authorization header. Now the OAuthPasswordGrantType controls this setting and it defaults to OAuthPasswordGrantType=Post. The previous behavior is still available by setting OAuthPasswordGrantType=Basic.
01/13/20228048AvroAdded

  • Added support for excluding files based on the ExcludeFiles connection property.
  • Added support for datetime filters in IncludeFiles and ExcludeFiles connection properties. We currently support CreatedDate and ModifiedDate. Ex:
    ExcludeFiles="TXT,CreatedDate<='2020-11-26T07:39:34-05:00'" 
    ExcludeFiles="TXT,ModifiedDate<=DATETIMEFROMPARTS(2020, 11, 26, 7, 40, 50, 000)"
    ExcludeFiles="ModifiedDate>=DATETIMEFROMPARTS(2020, 11, 26, 7, 40, 49, 000),ModifiedDate<=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()" 
  • Only the following storage sources will have support for filtering by CreatedDate:
    • Box (box://)
    • GCloudStorage (gs://)
    • GoogleDriveStorageSource (gdrive://)
    • OneDrive (onedrive://)
    • SharePoint (sp://)
    • SharePointREST (sprest://)
09/02/20217915GeneralAdded

  • Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
08/06/20217888GeneralChanged
  • Added the new sys_primarykeys system table.
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.
07/22/20217873AvroAdded
  • Added support for Create Table, Batch Insert and Drop Table.
06/24/20217845AvroAdded
  • Added support for the GOOGLEJSONBLOB JWT certificate type. This works like the existing GOOGLEJSON certificate type except that the certificate is provided as JSON text instead of as a file path.
06/08/20217829AvroAdded
  • Added support for the AzureServicePrinciple authentication scheme, which will support both using an OAuthClientSecret, or alternatively using a JWT cert.
06/05/20217826AvroAdded
  • Added support to authenticate submitting JWT certs instead of the OAuthClientSecret for the AzureAD authentication scheme.
05/29/20217819ODBCAdded
  • Exposed the InitiateOAuth connection property.
05/26/20217816ODBCAdded
  • Added support for the JAVA_HOME setting in the configuration file.

  • Added the SqlMaxColumnNameLen connection property.
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.
04/19/20217779AvroAdded
  • Added support for parsing Snappy and deflate codec.

Deprecated
  • SSODomain will not be used anymore for OKTA, OneLogin and ADFS. Instead, Domain should be specified.
  • The AzureAccount connection property is deprecated. Instead, AzureStorageAccount should be used.
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.
04/16/20217776ODBCChanged
  • ODBC Drivers on Linux and Mac now depend on the JRE, which brings improved stability and performance.
04/15/20217775GeneralChanged
  • Kerberos authentication is updated to use TCP by default, but will fall back to UDP if a TCP connection cannot be established.
