  • Added the new sys_lastresultinfo system table.
05/23/20238543Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added connection property "AggregateFiles", "IncludeSubdirectories" and "MetadataDiscoveryURI" to aggregate data from multiple files. When the "AggregateFiles" is set to true and the "BufferChanges" is set to false, the URI is allowed to set a local folder.
05/15/20238535Microsoft ExcelAdded

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.
08/03/20228250Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added SkipTop connection property to skip the amount of rows specified starting from the top.
05/27/20228182Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added ConnectionType connection property to select a storage type.
05/24/20228179Microsoft ExcelChanged
  • Changed provider name to Microsoft Excel.
03/10/20228104Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added support for Apache HDFS (webhdfs://) as a storage source.
03/09/20228103Microsoft ExcelChanged
  • 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.
01/13/20228048Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added support for the IBM Cloud Object Storage (ibmobjectstorage://) as a storage source.
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.
06/28/20217849Microsoft ExcelDeprecated
  • The connection property ExcelFile is deprecated and replaced by the connection property URI.
06/24/20217845Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • 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.
06/08/20217829Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added support for the AzureServicePrinciple authentication scheme, which will support both using an OAuthClientSecret, or alternatively using a JWT cert.
06/05/20217826Microsoft ExcelAdded
  • Added support to authenticate submitting JWT certs instead of the OAuthClientSecret for the AzureAD 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.
