LDW 2.1.23 released: IBM Informix, updated Redshift & Teradata drivers

This release brings several connector-related improvements. While we added IBM Informix as a new data source, the drivers for Amazon Redshift and Teradata were updated to incorporate the latest upstream improvements. We also extended functionalities of the BigQuery connector, now supporting the deletion of data from tables. For Microsoft Azure customers we now allow creating Azure Blob Storage data sources in the DV Studio.
