  • 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

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.
04/23/20217783GeneralChanged
  • Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
04/16/20217776GeneralChanged
