|
| 02/16/2024 | 8812 | Workday | Added
- Added support for general REST stored procedures. Before the only stored procedures were BeginXXXChange and SubmitXXXChange for managing bulk changes. Now every REST endpoint that accepts POST and is not associated with an existing table is available as its own stored procedure.
|
| 01/03/2024 | 8768 | Workday | Added
- Added support for SupportNativeDataType. Java-based editions can enable this property with ConnectionType=WQL to see native WQL type names in column metadata.
|
| 12/31/2023 | 8765 | Excel | Added
- Added support for dialect SELECT queries in UI, VBA, and UDF =CDATAQUERY function.
|
| 11/29/2023 | 8733 | General | Changed

- Added support for navigating hierarchical categories within REST values tables. These tables now expose a collection token which can be used to read the subcategories of the current category.
|
| 09/13/2023 | 8656 | Workday | Added
- Added the WQLDataSourceFilters property. This allows overriding the driver's choice of data source filter for WQL views.
|
| 08/22/2023 | 8634 | Workday | Changed
- Updated REST API schemas to the 20230819 version of the API, with the following updates for specific components.
- Person API: Move from v2 to v3
- Staffing API: Move from v4 to v5
- Updated the DataSourcesFields API to support multiple optional and required parameters. Earlier definitions of this table reported flattened optional and require parameters fields, while in current versions they are aggregates.
|
| 07/27/2023 | 8608 | Workday | Added
- Added the SplitSingleValuePrompts property for all connection types. This allows the driver to split queries that provide multiple values for single value prompts. Each combination of split prompt values is executed separately and combined within the driver.
|
| 07/10/2023 | 8591 | Workday | Added
- Added the IncludeIDInDescriptor property for WQL. When enabled, the driver will report descriptor columns as containing the description and the ID, instead of just the ID.
Changed

|
| 07/07/2023 | 8588 | Workday | Added
- Added support for reporting more child tables when the parent table is an inner collection, like StudentGradingSchemes_Student_Grade_Data.
- Added the IncludeChildTableAggregates property to control whether child tables appear only as child tables, or as child tables and aggregates on their parent table. By default aggregates are exposed in addition to child tables.
|
| 07/05/2023 | 8586 | Workday | Added
- Added the BaseURL property. This has the same function as the Host property.
Deprecated
- The Host property. Existing connections using it will still work, but new connections should use the BaseURL property instead.
|
| 06/29/2023 | 8580 | Workday | Added
- Added support for the REST API.
Removed
- The UseWQL connection property.
Replacements
- The ConnectionType connection property replaces the UseWQL property. Each service (WQL, Reports, REST, SOAP) has its own ConnectionType and only one can be used per connection. This means that WQL and RaaS can no longer be used together as separate schemas on the same connection.
|
| 06/20/2023 | 8571 | General | Added
- Added the new sys_lastresultinfo system table.
|
| 05/12/2023 | 8532 | Workday | Added

|
| 05/10/2023 | 8530 | Excel | Added
- Added the ability to cancel an in-progress test connection in the Connection Dialog Box.
|
| 05/09/2023 | 8529 | Workday | Added
- Added support for AzureAD authentication.
|
| 04/25/2023 | 8515 | General | Removed
- Removed support for the SELECT INTO CSV statement. The core code doesn't support it anymore.
|
| 02/07/2023 | 8438 | Workday | Added
- Added support for OAuth JWT authentication, and enhanced the documentation around the process of creating ISUs and configuring their authentication. The driver supports both OAuthJWT for ISUs using a normal API Client as well as OAuth with an API Client for Integrations.
- Added support for OAuth authentication (both authorization code and JWT) to SOAP. SOAP now supports every authentication method that WQL/RaaS do as well as Basic authentication. Basic authentication remains the default for SOAP.
|
| 12/14/2022 | 8383 | General | Changed
- Added the Default column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
|
| 12/05/2022 | 8374 | Workday | Added
- Added support for ExpandMultiValues. When enabled, multi-instance ID values are expanded into multiple rows so that individual IDs can be read without parsing JSON or XML aggregates. This also applies to single-instance ID values when using Reports as a Service without ExpandIDTypes.
|
| 09/30/2022 | 8308 | General | Changed
- Added the IsPath column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
|
| 09/28/2022 | 8306 | Excel | Added
- Added a config file option STATUSBAR_UPDATE=TRUE. This indicates whether the Excel Add-In will update the Excel Status Bar with progress status on completed tasks. The default value is TRUE. This way, there is the option to NOT update the Status Bar by setting it to FALSE.
|
| 09/14/2022 | 8292 | Excel | Changed
- Improved the User Experience of the Connection Editor by introducing a Basic tab for the most imporant connection properties.
|
| 08/31/2022 | 8278 | Workday | Added
- Added support for ExpandIDTypes. When enabled, ID values in reports are reported as multiple columns (one per ID type) instead of one XML aggregate column.
|
| 08/03/2022 | 8250 | Workday | Added
- Improved performance around WQL metadata fetching. The driver can fetch table and field listings in parallel which is significantly faster for larger data sources like workers.
- Added support for WQL prompts and data source filters. Prompt support works the same way as reports. Data source filters currently have limited support, they are only used when required and the driver will automatically pick one to use.
|
| 05/17/2022 | 8172 | Workday | Added
- Added support for accessing Reports as a Service (RaaS). RaaS reports can be queried by setting the UseWQL connection property to true (default), and providing the driver with a report that lists out all RaaS-accessible reports via the CustomReportURL connection property. The driver has support for setting prompt values as well as flattening complex report values.
|
| 05/03/2022 | 8158 | Workday | Added
- Added support for the WQL API. The WQL API is newer than the SOAP API from Workday, and has far better support for metadata, limiting service results, filtering, and server side operations such as aggregation and grouping.
Changed
- Changed the default API from SOAP to WQL. This can be configured via the UseWQL connection property.
|
| 03/17/2022 | 8111 | Excel | Changed

|
| 03/05/2022 | 8099 | Excel | Added
- Added support for inserting rows on tables when no primary key is defined on a given table.
|
| 02/19/2022 | 8085 | Excel | Added
- The button "Get Data -> From ProviderX" now displays a submenu with existing connections buttons and a separator, with the "New ProviderX Connection" button, if a connection exists. If no connections exist, then clicking "Get Data -> From ProviderX" will prompt the user to create a new connection before selecting the data.
Removed
- In the "Table Selection" form, the "Source", "New Connection", "Connection", and "Edit Connection" fields are removed as they are out of the scope of the "Table Selection" form.
|
| 12/31/2021 | 8035 | Excel | Added
- Added batch support for CDATAINSERT, CDATAUPDATE, and CDATADELETE user-defined functions.
|
| 11/11/2021 | 7985 | Excel | Added
- Added a config file option called RETRIEVE_DATA_ROWS_PERCOUNT. When getting data, this indicates how many rows will be populated into the sheet at a time. The default value is 1000.
Changed
- Improved performance when loading data from Get Data/Refresh and the CDATAQUERY function.
|
| 11/03/2021 | 7977 | Excel | Added
- Added new VBA functions: GetLastErrorCode and GetLastError.
|
| 10/29/2021 | 7972 | Excel | Added

Removed
- The "Add Rows" button has been removed.
|
| 09/28/2021 | 7941 | Excel | Added
- When loading data, table columns are auto-fitted to display all cells' content. In cases when cells have large amounts of text and the table has many rows, this operation might be slow.
- Added a config file option DISABLE_AUTOFIT_COLUMN. Setting DISABLE_AUTOFIT_COLUMN==TRUE will speed up the process in those cases. The default value is FALSE.
Changed
- Changed the maximum characters that a cell can retreive from the data source from 8,192 to 32,767.
|
| 09/21/2021 | 7934 | Workday | Changed
- Changed the default primary key column for the the Learning.LearningLessons table. Removed the Learning_Lesson_Reference_WID column as it does not appear to actually come back.
|
| 09/10/2021 | 7923 | Workday | Changed
- Changed the default primary key column for the the Learning.LearningPrograms and LearningPrograms child tables. Removed the Learning_Program_Reference_WID column as it does not appear to actually come back.
|
| 09/02/2021 | 7915 | General | Added
- Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
|
| 08/27/2021 | 7909 | Workday | Changed
- Changed the default primary key column for the the Learning.LearningDigitalCourses and LearningDigitalCourses child tables. Removed the Learning_Digital_Course_Reference_WID column as it does not appear to actually come back.
|
| 08/07/2021 | 7889 | General | Changed
- Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
|
| 08/06/2021 | 7888 | General | Changed

|
| 07/26/2021 | 7877 | Excel | Added
- You can sort and reorder columns on the "CData Query" form to alter the sort order.
|
| 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.
|
| 07/21/2021 | 7872 | Excel | Removed
- Removed support for .NET 3.5. Before upgrade/downgrade, a clean uninstall and then the same product versions install should be performed. So, if you want to downgrade, all the downgrade build versions must support .NET 3.5. If you want to upgrade, all the upgrade build versions will drop .NET 3.5 support.
|
| 07/06/2021 | 7857 | Excel | Added
- Added a config file option REPLACE_SYSTEM_LOCALE=TRUE. This indicates whether Office culture replaces system locale. The default value is TRUE. This way, there is the option to disable overriding system locale by setting it to FALSE.
|
| 06/26/2021 | 7847 | Excel | Added
- Added the ability to move the columns up and down on the "CData Query" form grid view and change their order via the UI.
|
| 06/24/2021 | 7845 | Excel | Added
- Added the default parameter "showPopups" so the user may decide whether to show popups when calling VBA functions.
|

|
| 04/23/2021 | 7783 | General | Changed
- Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
|
| 04/16/2021 | 7776 | General | Changed
- Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.
Changed
