[7915] - 2021-09-02

Added

• Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.

[7889] - 2021-08-07

Changed

• Add the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.

[7888] - 2021-08-06

Changed

• Add the new sys_primarykeys system table.

[7874] - 2021-07-23

Changed

• 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 vs te predicate. Ie: 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. Ie: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that previously were calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.

[7859] - 2021-07-08

Added

• Added the TCP Logging Module for the logging information happening on the TCP wire protocol. The transport bytes that are incoming and ongoing will be logged at verbosity=5.

[7783] - 2021-04-23

Changed
