What's new in Qlik ODBC Connector for QlikView - September 2021

September 2021

All included ODBC drivers have been updated to the latest available versions. This delivers new functionality, enhanced stability, and improved performance.

The new general bulk reader option can optimize load performance. We recommend enabling this option for larger datasets, because it allows larger portions of data to be included in each iteration within a load. You can set the maximum length of string fields, which can be used to limit the allocation of unnecessary resources.

Other significant updates can be found in the following connectors:

• Amazon Redshift: Added the option to select ‘query processing mode’ for performance tuning.

• Google BigQuery:

o Added the option to use a P12 private key file with a non-standard password.
o Added new options for large tables. Responses larger than 10 GB (compressed) require a

dataset to be built in the Google BigQuery environment, where a temporary table will be

created.

• MongoDB: Removed beta status. Added the option to enable SSL and upload certificates, added

  support for MongoDB Atlas.

• Teradata: Added authentication options for LDAP or TD2.

  Additionally, the following new connectors were added:

• Amazon Athena: Provides access to data in S3 via the Amazon Athena query service.

• Azure Synapse: Provides the same connectivity as an Azure SQL Database.

• Databricks: Provides access to Databricks Workspace clusters and SQL endpoints (using Apache

  Spark).

September 2021 Patch 1

Google BigQuery Connector:

• Fixed issue with Null values to be properly represented as blank, instead of a dash character.
