Post-GA Product Announcements
The readme files will no longer be updated with product announcements and new
features after the General Availability (GA) of the product. For the latest
updates and enhancements, please refer to the release notes
(https://www.progress.com/datadirect-connectors/whats-new).
Requirements
* A supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM) must be defined on your system path.
* The installer program requires a JVM that is Java SE 11 or higher, including
Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
* The driver requires a JVM that is Java SE 8 or higher, including Oracle JDK,
OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
Installation Directory
The default installation directory for the driver is:
* Windows:
C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\JDBC
* UNIX/Linux:
/opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC
Note: For UNIX/Linux, if you do not have access to "/opt", your user's home
directory will take the place of this directory.
Data Source and Platform Support
For the latest data source and platform support information, refer to the
Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
Changes Since 6.0.0 GA
Enhancements
------------
* The driver has been enhanced to comply with FIPS standards for data
encryption. As part of this enhancement, the driver was tested with
FIPS 140-3 enabled using a Red Hat OpenJDK 21 on a Red Hat Universal Base
Image 9 instance.
Changed Behavior
----------------
* The connection property SpyAttributes has been updated to exclude the
attribute load=classname, which was previously used to load the driver
specified by the given class name. See SpyAttributes for details.
* The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or
higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the
installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential
security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE.
Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for
the most secure version of a JRE to be used.
Note: This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest
driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
Release 6.0.0 Features
The Progress DataDirect for JDBC for Google Analytics 4 driver supports SQL
read-only access for JDBC applications to Google Analytics using Google
Analytics 4 Data and Admin APIs. In addition, the driver employs a SQL engine
component that provides comprehensive SQL support and JDBC standard
connectivity. To support SQL access to Google Analytics services, the driver
creates a relational map of the Google Analytics data model and translates SQL
statements to Google Analytics REST API 4 requests.
* The driver supports SQL read-only access to Google Analytics using Google
Analytics 4 (GA4) Data and Admin APIs.
* The driver supports all JDBC Core functions.
* The driver supports the core SQL-92 grammar.
* The driver supports Google Analytics data types.
* The driver supports OAuth 2.0 authentication.
* The driver supports the handling of large result sets with paging, and the
FetchSize connection property.
* The driver includes the Progress DataDirect Google Analytics 4 Configuration
Manager for quick configuration and testing of your driver in a web browser.
The tool allows you to:
- Generate and edit connection URLs
- Test connect your connection URLs
- Add tables to a relational view of Google Analytics data
- Execute SQL commands for testing
DataDirect JDBC Driver Configuration Manager
The driver includes a browser-based configuration tool, the DataDirect JDBC
Driver Configuration Manager, that allows you to generate and test connection
URLs that you can use with your application. You can launch the Configuration
Manager by double-clicking on the driver jar file. Or, from the command line,
you can navigate to the directory containing the driver jar file; then, execute
the following command:
java -jar googleanalytics4.jar
The Google Analytics 4 Configuration Manager will open in your default web
browser. For more information, refer to the user's guide for your driver.
Notes, Known Problems, and Restrictions
The following are notes, known problems, and restrictions with Release 6.0.0 of
the driver.
Adding Tables Using JDBCISQL
----------------------------
Using JDBCISQL, if you attempt to add a table using a JSON string, the driver
will return the following error: "The value for connection option ADDTABLES is
invalid". To work around this, you must escape the double quotes (") in the
string using backslashes (\). For example:
addtables='{\"sample_table\":[\"col1\",\"col2\",\"col3\"]}'
Case Sensitivity in query parameters for DefaultQueryOptions property
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The query parameters in the connection property DefaultQueryOptions are case
sensitive. The recommended casing of the parameters is medial capitals
(camel case). For example, DefaultQueryOptions=(startDate=<value>;
endDate=<value>;propertyId=<value>).
Aggregates for Date/Time Data Types
-----------------------------------
The MIN and MAX aggregates for the Date/Time data types might return incorrect
values.
JTA Support
-----------
JDBC distributed transactions through JTA are not supported.
Executing DataDirect Shell Script
---------------------------------
For UNIX/Linux users: If you receive an error message when executing any
DataDirect for JDBC shell script, make sure that the file has EXECUTE
permission. To do this, use the chmod command. For example, to grant EXECUTE
permission to the testforjdbc.sh file, change to the directory containing
testforjdbc.sh and enter: chmod +x testforjdbc.sh
JDBC Methods
------------
The following notes on JDBC methods apply generally to Progress DataDirect for
JDBC drivers. Additional information on driver support for the JDBC API can be
found in the "JDBC Support" section of the product user's guide.
* The DataDirect for JDBC drivers allow PreparedStatement.setXXX methods and
ResultSet.getXXX methods on Blob/Clob data types, in addition to the
functionality described in the JDBC specification. The supported
conversions typically are the same as those for LONGVARBINARY/LONGVARCHAR,
except where limited by database support.
* Calling CallableStatement.registerOutputParameter(parameterIndex, sqlType)
with sqlType Types.NUMERIC or Types.DECIMAL sets the scale of the output
parameter to zero (0). According to the JDBC specification, calling
CallableStatement.registerOutputParameter(parameterIndex, sqlType, scale) is
the recommended method for registering NUMERIC or DECIMAL output parameters.
* When attempting to create an updatable, scroll-sensitive result set for a
query that contains an expression as one of the columns, the driver cannot
satisfy the scroll-sensitive request. The driver downgrades the type of the
result returned to scroll-insensitive.
* The DataDirect for JDBC drivers support retrieval of output parameters from a
stored procedure before all result sets and/or update counts have been
completely processed. When CallableStatement.getXXX is called, result sets
and update counts that have not yet been processed by the application are
discarded to make the output parameter data available. Warnings are generated
when results are discarded.
* The preferred method for executing a stored procedure that generates result
sets and update counts is using CallableStatement.execute(). If multiple
results are generated using executeUpdate, the first update count is returned.
Any result sets prior to the first update count are discarded. If multiple
results are generated using executeQuery, the first result set is returned.
Any update counts prior to the first result set are discarded. Warnings are
generated when result sets or update counts are discarded.
* The ResultSet methods getTimestamp(), getDate(), and getTime() return
references to mutable objects. If the object reference returned from any of
these methods is modified, re-fetching the column using the same method
returns the modified value. The value is only modified in memory; the
database value is not modified.
