  • The returning types of the FDMonth, FDQuarter, FDWeek, LDMonth, LDQuarter, LDWeek functions are changed from Timestamp to Date.
  • The return type of the ABS function will be consistent with the parameter value type.
11/07/20238711ODataAdded
  • Added the SupportsCount hidden connection property. It indicates if the odata service supports processing the COUNT function server-side.
06/20/20238571GeneralAdded
  • Added the new sys_lastresultinfo system table.
05/13/20238533ODataAdded
  • Added the MaxFilterLength connection property. The maximum number of characters for the $filter query parameter.
05/12/20238532ODataAdded
  • Added the SupportsFilter connection property. If set to false all filters will be processed internally by the driver
05/04/20238524ODataRemoved
  • Removed the Search stored procedure.
04/25/20238515GeneralRemoved
  • Removed support for the SELECT INTO CSV statement. The core code doesn't support it anymore.
04/20/20238510ODataAdded
  • Added the ExpandAsterisk connection property. It expands all columns in the $select query parameter in case of a (SELECT * FROM table) query.
12/14/20228383GeneralChanged
  • Added the Default column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
10/12/20228320TableauAdded
  • Added support for additional localizations in the Windows and Mac packages. Both setups now support all the languages that Tableau supports as of their 2022.2 release.
09/30/20228308GeneralChanged
  • Added the IsPath column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
08/12/20228259TableauChanged
  • Updated connection dialogs to use advanced configuration information provided by drivers. This makes use of the same information as the new dialogs in other editions (like ODBC) to display only the most relevant connection properties.
  • Legacy connectors have been simplified to look more like Tableau JDBC dialogs. Legacy connectors target older Tableau versions which do not support rich connection dialogs like the modern connectors do. Most connectors cannot fit within these limitations.
03/09/20228103ODataChanged
  • 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.
02/16/20228082ODataAdded
  • Added support to control whether the LIKE operator is sent server-side or processed client-side through the hidden connection property, SupportsLike. This is set by default to True, and when changed to False, the LIKE operator will be executed client-side.
09/21/20217934ODataChanged
  • Updated the stored procedures ListAssociations, CreateAssociation and RemoveAssociation to include UrlId (to bypass fromID) and ToUrlId (to bypass toID) in cases where the primary key consists of multiple attributes.
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.
04/25/20217785GeneralAdded
  • Added support for handling client side formulas during insert / update. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1 = CONCAT(Col1, " - ", Col2) WHERE Col2 LIKE 'A%'
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.
04/16/20217776GeneralAdded
  • Non-conditional updates between two columns is now available to all drivers. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1=Col2
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.
04/16/20217776TableauChanged
  • Improved the connection dialog configuration experience.
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.
02/22/20217723ODataAdded
  • Added support for non-atomic batch operations. This behavior can be achieved by specifying the EnableAtomicBatchOperations connection property.
01/14/20217684ODataAdded
  • Added support for a direct connection to OData feeds. The user must specify the FeedURL connection property for this to work.
01/12/20217682ODataAdded
  • Added support for allowing /$metadata endpoints to be used directly for the url instead of the service document. Some OData services may only support /$metadata instead of direct service document listing.
12/06/20207645ODataAdded
  • Added support for listing stored procedures which return collection of entities as views.
11/10/20207619ODataAdded
  • Added support for parsing dynamic stored procedures with primitive return types.
