  • 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()"

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.
06/24/20217845CSVAdded
  • 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.
06/10/20217831CSVAdded
  • Added support for TypeDetectionScheme=ColumnCount. This enables the user to specify via the ColumnCount connection property exactly how many columns to report (all as varchar), bypassing any normal procedure of attempting to introspect the data to dynamically determine columns.
06/08/20217829CSVAdded
  • Added support for the AzureServicePrinciple authentication scheme, which will support both using an OAuthClientSecret, or alternatively using a JWT cert.
06/07/20217828ADO.NETAdded
  • Added support for the DbCommand.CommandTimeout property.
06/05/20217826CSVAdded

  • Added the "PathSeparator" connection property.
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.
04/23/20217783CSVDeprecated
  • 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.
04/16/20217776ADO.NETChanged
  • Separated the ADO.NET Provider assembly and Entity Framework Core 5 Nuget packages.
  • Single precision floating point numbers are now reported as with the Data Type Name as "real". Double precision floating point numbers now have their Data Type Name reported as "float". This change does not impact the actual data types of these columns - only the reported data type name.
  • Separate EFCore 3.0, 3.1 and EFCore 5 dlls are now shipped with the driver. The 2.0 and 2.1 EFCore dlls are removed.

Changed
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates.

04/15/20217775GeneralChanged
