An asterisk (*) indicates support that was added in a hotfix or software patch subsequent to a release.

The driver has been enhanced to allow you to customize how HTTP response status codes are processed by the driver. By configuring the input REST file, you can define error responses for codes that are returned by the service, including driver actions and error messages.*

The driver supports the handling of large result sets with configurable paging and the Fetch Size connection option.
