Hybrid Data Pipeline now supports connectivity to PostgreSQL 14 databases. PostgreSQL 14 can also be used as a system database to store account and configuration information for a Hybrid Data Pipeline instance. This functionality is supported in the following component versions.
The default behavior for handling PostgreSQL call escape syntax has changed. Previously, Hybrid Data Pipeline only supported stored functions, and treated the non-standard escape syntax {call function()} the same as the standard escape syntax {? = call function()}. With this latest patch, Hybrid Data Pipeline supports stored functions and stored procedures. Now Hybrid Data Pipeline determines whether a function or procedure is being called based on the call escape syntax. If the return value parameter ?= is used, then the connectivity service calls a stored function. If the return value parameter is not used, then the connectivity service calls a stored procedure. You can change this default behavior by setting the CallEscapeBehavior option as an extended option under the Advanced tab. These are the valid values for the CallEscapeBehavior option:

Hybrid Data Pipeline now supports access to Google BigQuery. Hybrid Data Pipeline can be used to create and manage data sources for JDBC, ODBC, and OData client application access to Google BigQuery. OAuth 2.0 and Service Account authentication methods are supported.
To improve performance, the OData startswith() function was changed to use LIKE instead of LOCATE for a SQL statement that takes less time to execute.
Hybrid Data Pipeline supports changing the catalog of data sources. The setCatalog method can be used to change catalogs in JDBC, while the connection attribute SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_CATALOG can be used in ODBC. Support for changing catalogs includes support for changing the default database on an active connection to a SQL Server data source. This support extends to any data source configured with an underlying JDBC connector that supports the setCatalog method. This enhancement is available in the latest build of the Hybrid Data Pipeline server (4.6.1.132). Components such as the Hybrid Data Pipeline ODBC and JDBC drivers, as well as the On-Premises Connector must be reinstalled to adopt the enhancement (On-Premises Connector version 4.6.1.62, ODBC driver 4.6.1.27, JDBC driver 4.6.1.13).
When an incorrect host name was specified in the connection URL, the Hybrid Data Pipeline JDBC driver defaulted to service.datadirectcloud.cloud.com as the host name and returned an inaccurate error message.
The ODBC driver was not installing on Amazon Linux 2.
Hybrid Data Pipeline supports throttling the number of simultaneous OData queries a user may have running against a Hybrid Data Pipeline server at one time. OData query throttling for users may be configured with the ODataMaxConcurrentRequests and ODataMaxWaitingRequests limits. The ODataMaxConcurrentRequests limit sets the maximum number of simultaneous OData requests allowed per user, while the ODataMaxWaitingRequests limit sets the maximum number of waiting OData requests allowed per user. See Throttling in the user's guide for details.
Support for environment variables to specify server and system database credentials during the installation process has been added. The use of environment variables allows you to perform a more secure silent installation, compared to a standard silent installation where credential information must be specified in plain text in the silent installation response file. See Silent installation process in the user's guide for details.
When installing the Hybrid Data Pipeline server using SQL Server as the system database, the use of special characters in admin or user account credentials caused the installation to fail with the error Error in createSchema at Line 266.
NOTE: While installation no longer fails when special characters are used in system database account credentials, the installer cannot currently validate the necessary database schema objects when any of the following special characters are used in either database user ID or password values: space ( ), quotation mark ("), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), and apostrophe ('). Therefore, in a standard installation where these characters are used in database credentials, database validation must be skipped to proceed with the installation. Similarly, when performing a silent installation in this case, the SKIP_DATABASE_VALIDATION property should be set to true. Note that when skipping database validation in this scenario, the server should install successfully and work with the specified system database.
The specification of system database admin and user passwords in plain text in the response file as part of the silent installation process raised security concerns. Support for environment variables to specify server and system database credentials during the installation process has been added. See Silent installation process in the user's guide for details.
When the HAProxy load balancer was configured with the setting x-content-type-options:nosniff, Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge browsers rendered the Web UI as text instead of HTML.
Hybrid Data Pipeline has added support for a subset of the functionality defined by the OData Version 4 extension for data aggregation. Aggregation functionality is extended with the $apply query parameter. See Aggregation support in the user's guide for details.
The Hybrid Data Pipeline On-Premises Connector, ODBC driver, and JDBC driver have added support for Windows Server 2019. (On-Premises Connector version 4.6.1.48, ODBC driver 4.6.1.12, JDBC driver 4.6.1.9)

Sometimes when trying to execute SELECT * FROM table against an on-premise SQL Server database using the On-Premises Connector, the ODBC driver returned the error [HY000] [DataDirect][ODBC Hybrid driver][SQLServer]Unexpected content at the end of chunk.
When the name of the On-Premises Connector host machine was in all uppercase at the time of the installation of the On-Premises Connector, the Connector Label field in the On-Premises Configuration Tool did not populate with the hostname as expected. Then, when attempting to update the Connector Label field with the correct hostname, the On-Premises Configuration Tool returned Error setting connector label for user Request returned Status:404 Message.
When using the Hybrid Data Pipeline ODBC driver to connect to a data source created with a third party JDBC driver, the following error was returned: ODBC--call failed. [DataDirect][ODBC Hybrid driver]Numeric value out of range. Error in column 16. (#0). This error was returned because the third party driver diverged from the JDBC specification when describing the data type of CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH for DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(). The ODBC driver has been modified to work with the third party JDBC driver despite this divergence from the JDBC specification.
Hybrid Data Pipeline has added a SQL statement auditing feature. When SQL statement auditing is enabled, the connectivity service records SQL statements and related metrics in the SQLAudit table on the Hybrid Data Pipeline system database (also referred to as the account database). This information can then be queried directly by administrators. See SQL statement auditing in the user's guide for details.
The Hybrid Data Pipeline server and On-Premises Connector have been upgraded to install and use Tomcat 9.0.37. (On-Premises Connector version 4.6.1.14)

With some shell configurations, the Hybrid Data Pipeline shutdown script stop.sh was not shutting down Hybrid Data Pipeline server processes.
When translating an OData Version 4 query to a SQL query, Hybrid Data Pipeline did not honor the parenthesis in the OData query. This caused the reordering of the operator precedence, and lead to incorrect results. The parenthesis in OData queries is now reproduced in SQL queries to maintain operator precedence.
When connecting to an on-premise data source using the On-Premises Connector, the error origin=driver message=PAYLOAD_TYPE_BINARY != opcode, was 10 was returned. The On-Premises Connector now correctly handles pongs sent from load balancers according to WebSocket protocol.
The Hybrid Data Pipeline has been enhanced to support case conversions for entity types, entity sets, and properties. The owner of a data source can now change the entity type, entity set, and property names to all uppercase or all lowercase on the OData tab in the Web UI or using the Hybrid Data Pipeline Management API.
The Web UI has been enhanced to support data source sharing. The owner of a data source can now share access to a data store with Hybrid Data Pipeline users and tenants through the Data Sources view in the Web UI.
The Web UI has been enhanced to fully support the IP address whitelist feature. Administrators can secure access to Hybrid Data Pipeline resources by implementing IP address whitelists through the Web UI. The Web UI can be used to create IP address whitelists at the system level, tenant level, user level, or some combination of these levels
The navigation bar can be expanded to show the names of the views supported in the Web UI. The icons in the navigation bar have been reordered and updated.
Hybrid Data Pipeline supports exposing stored functions for OData Version 4 connectivity to PostgreSQL data sources. When configuring a PostgreSQL data source, the OData schema map can be configured to expose stored functions.
A new throttling limit has been introduced in the System Limits view. The XdbcMaxResponse limit can be used to set the approximate maximum size of JDBC and ODBC HTTP result data.
The ODBC driver installation program has been enhanced to support branded installations for OEM customers (available in the ODBC driver installer on November 18, 2019). The branded driver can then be distributed with OEM customer client applications.
