  • 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.

    SELECT * FROM NATIVEQUERY('<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical"><entity name="account"><attribute name="name" /><attribute name="primarycontactid" /><attribute name="telephone1" /><attribute name="accountid" /><order attribute="name" descending="false" /></entity></fetch>')
    will execute the inner query in Dynamics CRM directly and return the results.
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.
06/05/20217826Microsoft Dynamics CRMAdded
  • Added support to authenticate submitting JWT certs instead of the OAuthClientSecret for the OAuth authentication scheme.
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.
