Data Virtuality Platform 2.4.32: a long-awaited release of improvements (and bug fixes)
This release includes several improvements for the Server and Studio and bug fixes for the Server. One important improvement is for both of them: we have updated the embedded JDK to version 11.0.17+8.
Speaking of the Server, most importantly, we have fixed several nasty bugs affecting the performance. Previously, a large number of remarks on views and procedures could significantly slow down the server startup; we have resolved this problem, so now the startup will be faster. Similarly, the debug collection accumulated a considerable number of tables, views and procedures, causing an OutOfMemoryError, and we have fixed this as well. We have also resolved a problem affecting LDAP authentication where members of the default admin group could not edit entries in the SYSADMIN.SystemProperties table if they had been created by other users.
Good news for Snowflake users: we have enabled pushdown of Common Table Expressions (also for PostgreSQL and Redshift). For SQL Server, this release adds support for procedures returning TABLE (Table Valued Functions). For Google Ads API, we have fixed a bug which caused authentication errors to result in unclear error messages or freeze the data source creation.
Another improvement for the Server is that using default values of procedure parameters now also works for relational procedural command syntax, and at the same time, nullable procedure parameters for the same can now be safely omitted.
Here are other, more minor, but still essential bug fixes: when you are adding a remark, there will no longer appear an unnecessary warning; a materialized object with a column masking applied can now be queried using a table alias; SELECT from an altered object will no longer fail if table aliases are used in the query and there are column masking or row-based security rules applied to it; and combining fixed-length parsing and FOR ORDINALITY columns in the TEXTTABLE function call will work correctly, without throwing a NullPointerException.
On the Studio side, there is just one improvement: we have added the Google Ads wizard and removed the obsolete AdWords.
Here are all issues in this release:
