ODBC PowerPack v1.1.3 Released

What’s New

In this release we focused on adding URL JOIN Features which may allow many multi steps scenarios in one query. Bing Ads, Amazon MWS, Google BigQuery, Amazon Athena all these supports Job style queries which needs 3 step process (Create job, keep checking status, once done read report data). We also improved compatibility with Informatica and MS Access.
