Bug fixes

  • FIX: All API Drivers – Certain errors not bubbled up to the caller application
  • FIX: All API Drivers – When META is set to int, bool, date and you encounter blank data then it throws error about conversion (we should treat blank number, date, bool as null) – Error Input string was not in a correct format.
  • FIX: All Drivers – Misleading error is thrown (Value cannot be null) when you run Stored Proc which has syntax issue (i.e. not starting with CREATE PROC statement)
  • FIX: All Drivers – Duplicate column names in SELECT cause misleading error (Item Key already added)
  • FIX: All Drivers – More than 900 columns throws error – too many SQL variables
  • FIX: All Drivers – Preview Tab shows duplicate entries in Table dropdown if you click Dropdown multiple times too quick
  • FIX: All Drivers – View Metadata shows wrong code for API Connector XML option (Rather than DataType=xx , it shows Type=xx)
  • FIX: API Driver – Always Treat Blank Number, Date, Bool as Null is not working
  • FIX: API Driver – Delete / Update clause does not set Table Parameters from WITH clause
  • FIX: API Driver – Limit rows coming back from WHERE clause in Update / Delete in Preview (Honor Max Rows setting)
  • FIX: JDBC Bridge Driver – Cache Settings not saved
  • FIX: JDBC Bridge Driver – Stored Proc doesnt return output
  • FIX: JSON / XML / CSV Driver – Direct String option not saved and only works if you use WITH (DATA=xxxx) in SQL, UI option ignored
  • FIX: JSON / XML / CSV Drivers – Value for Direct Data and Keep Date As String Option not saved
  • FIX: JSON, XML , CSV Driver – Placeholder function doesnt work in URL / Body / Headers (When entered on UI) – Works ok if you override in WITH Clause SRC
  • FIX: JSON, XML Driver – Curly bracket in comment section cause error when URL JOIN (e.g. JOIN_1 in WITH ) feature is used – Error – Input string was not in a correct format
