03/02/2022 8096 Amazon DynamoDB Added
  • Added support for the AutoDetectIndex connection property.

Changed
  • In DynamoDB, secondary indexes can be used to more quickly select data from a given table. By default, we now attempt to automatically detect an index to use based on the query criteria. To turn off index detecting logic, simply set the AutoDetectIndex connection property to false. Alternatively, you may use the SecondaryIndexName pseudo column to specify which index to use (if any).
03/01/2022 8095 Amazon DynamoDB Added
  • Add support for the AwsCognitoBasic and AwsCognitoSrp authentication methods.
09/08/2021 7923 Amazon DynamoDB Added
  • Added support for PartiQL statements. Driver now utilizes the ExecuteStatement API operation to execute PartiQL statements, which offers better support for executing filters on the query server side.
  • Added support for BULK UPDATE operations.

Changed
  • The DynamoDB JSON document parser is re-written to fully support all the levels of structure nesting and indexing or un-nesting at all levels.
  • Data type auto discovery mechanism to properly detect datetime fields.
  • Fixed vertical flattening on primitive arrays.
09/02/2021 7915 General Added
  • Added support for the STRING_SPLIT table-valued function in the CROSS APPLY clause.
08/07/2021 7889 General Changed
  • Added the KeySeq column to the sys_foreignkeys table.
08/06/2021 7888 General Changed
  • Added the new sys_primarykeys system table.
07/23/2021 7874 General 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.
07/08/2021 7859 General 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.
05/17/2021 7807 Amazon DynamoDB Added
  • Added support for Single Sign On (SSO) connection with PingFederate as the Identity Provider (IdP).
04/23/2021 7785 General Added
  • Added support for handling client side formulas during insert / update. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1 = Concat(Col1, " - ", Col2) WHERE Col2 LIKE 'A%'
04/23/2021 7783 General Changed
  • Updated how display sizes are determined for varchar primary key and foreign key columns so they will match the reported length of the column.
04/16/2021 7776 General Added
  • Non-conditional updates between two columns is now available to all drivers. For example: UPDATE Table SET Col1=Col2

Changed
  • Reduced the length to 255 for varchar primary key and foreign key columns.
  • Updated implicit and metadata caching to improve performance and support for multiple connections. Old metadata caches are not compatible - you would need to generate new metadata caches if you are currently using CacheMetadata.
  • Updated index naming convention to avoid duplicates
  • Updated and standardized Getting Started connection help.
  • Added the Advanced Features section to the help of all drivers.
  • Categorized connection property listings in the help for all editions.
04/15 /2021 7775 General Changed
