General Changes

Date	Build Number	Change Type	Description
02/13/2023	8444	Google Sheets	Added Improve data type detection by ignoring the error values ( bad formula cells ). Added a connection property, IgnoreErrorValues, to control the behavior of the driver when reading the data. By default we skip the cells which has error values. Setting the connection property to true will force the driver to throw an exception in case of an error value.
01/23/2023	8423	Google Sheets	Added Added the field DataSourceExecutionStatus for the Sheets view indicates the execution status of a DataSource Sheet Added AddDatasource stored procedure for adding a BigQuery datasource to an spreadsheet. The scope bigQuery.readonly is required for this stored procedure. Added AddDatasourceTable stored procedure to add a table from a created datasource to a Sheet. The scope bigQuery.readonly is required for this stored procedure.
12/14/2022	8383	General	Changed Added the Default column to the sys_procedureparameters table.
09/30/2022	8308	General	Changed Added the IsPath column to the sys_procedureparameters table.

04/15/2022	8140	Google Sheets	Added Added support for listing all Spreadsheets that are inside a folder and its nested folders. This can be done by setting the RecurseFolders connection property to true and setting the list of folder Ids or folder names on the respective FolderId/FolderName property or both.
04/07/2022	8132	Google Sheets	Added Added support for querying Sheets by specifying the SpreadsheetId_SheetId instead of SpreadsheetName_SheetName. Just set the UseIdAsTableName connection property to true and use: SpreadsheetId_SheetId in the queries. For ex: SELECT * FROM 11696gdF5QUL1EnYikYiUeMTHRqA1111KbdYDoINqI_1151117664
01/12/2022	8047	Google Sheets	Changed Changed the support for working with a custom Range in Select, Insert and UPDATE operations. Columns will instead be named appropriately based on the range instead of starting at A,B,C, etc. This only impacts tables when the Header connection property is set to false. For example: SELECT * FROM Spreadsheet_Sheet1#C1:F5. The column names will be: C, D, E, F. Previously you would get columns with names starting from A: A,B,C,D.
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.
06/18/2021	7839	Google Sheets	Added 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.
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 Kerberos authentication is updated to use TCP by default, but will fall back to UDP if a TCP connection cannot be established
02/02/2021	7703	Google Sheets	Added Added a new view: Folders. It can be used to query the folders contained in a user's Google Drive. Added new column ParentIds on the Spreadsheets view. It displays the comma-separated list of the parent folder Id's, if any.
